BY RODNEY BUTCHER
Brownsville Herald Washington
Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Most
Of the smart boys. scme OF whom
have inside information. are betting
that the wet-dry issue viii rise from
its grave and enter the presidential
campaign.
Drys polled 312.0 600 votes in Ken
lucky the other day. Politicians can't
ignore a showing such as that.
Even though the vets did carry re-
peal by 10000, the existence Of
strong dry minorities in many states
Is indicated end there's some evil
dence Of a certain reaction against
conditions under repeal.
In a presidential election other
wise fairly close. concerted dry sup
port for one candidate might easily
decide the result. You would have O.
assume. Of course. that IL wouldn't
be offset by a swing Of vets to the
ether candidate. since any wet can
didate would win on a straight wet
cry fight.
The strategy OF politicians now IS
70 make liquor a collateral issue
which can be used to their sides
advantage.
Democratic strategists. who have
their eyes closely on Governor Lam
don az Kansas, have been thinking
that Landon's dry record was his
chief liability. But they also figure
that Landon may be smart enough
70 make an asset out Of Il.
If ne we're to utter n cry for
Temperance" attack conditions
since repeal. mferentiaIly blame
them on the Roosevelt administra-
ton. and demand reform. he
might become a hero Of the drys
without alternating many vets.
SO convinced are some advisers
that Landon will try something Of
the sort that Roosevelt has been urg-
ed 70 take the Temperance" issue
20 his own bosom before someone
else grabs it. Don't be surprised at
some effort along that line.
Can This Be Gratitude?
Surprise, not to say indignation,
was registered here when Rudolf S.
Hecht, retiring president Of the
American Bankers association. urg-
ed before the associations corven-
ton immediate steps to take the gov
eminent out OF "the many fields Of
business activity in which 1t has
become engaged" with special ref
erence TO banking and credit.
IL happens to be known here
that the RFC 5ailed cut Mr..
Hecht's bank. the Hibernia Ma
ticnal Of New Orleans. to the tune
Of millions Of dollars, and reor-
gained IL. after IL had closed.
The question is raised wheth-
er the bank has paid off the RFC
and thus far no one Is heard
answering that Il has.
Although Mr.. Hecht, who used to
be president OF HibeTnia. was moved
70 the banks Craftsmanship while
RFC put IN its own agent as presi-
dent. ii is still felt that he has Bit
ten a feeding hand.
RFC was left holding the bag for
nearly a million when the Union In
demnity Co. Of which Hecht was a
director. failed early in 1888, soon
after Hecht-who was also chair
man Of the New Orleans RFC advis-
DRY committee-had lobbied through
an additional $4,000 RFC loan for
Union Indemnity, most OF which sum-,
according to undenied charges by
Congressman Hamilton Fish, was
used to paw off Indebtedness TO

Milwaukee.-A new chain let
ter system-the participants ex-
change photographs instead of
dimes-came to light here.

Observation-Disclosures its unique OPP
erations. They are members of the
international Stereoscopis society,
Boosting a membership Of A. per-
sons in the United States, Canada,
the British Isles, New Zealand,
Australia and Tasmania.
Most Of them have never me
personally but they enjoy a COM
mon enthusiasm. for taking snap
shots.
This is the way their organi-
zation works:
Each member selects his best
photo of the month makes notes
on the conditions under which it
was taken and how it was devel-
oped and mails them to the next
man on the chain. The recipient
writes out his criticism, append:
it to the original communication
and forwards the letter to the
number three fellow.
Ultimately, the originator re-
ceives his snapshot back with AZ
critiques attached.
Each member starts a new let
ter around the circuit each month
Eighteen months are required
for the trip around the world.
The most recent batch delivered
to Hing contained a color picture
of Australian sunset, a camera
study of the Thames river and a
photograph of one of old Albion's
Druid ruins.
"The shots" are given depth by
the use of twin cameras" They
are viewed through stereoscopes-
the instrument that provided nc
end of entertainment in the gay
nineties. III
The Milwaukeeans pointed GU,
that mutual enjoyment was the
society's main objective.
They have also found their
chain a very pleasant medium Of
seeing the world from a parlor
armchair.

Evidently Betty was asleep; at

were dark and Ben wondered how
he could best wake her without
