SLIGHT HOPE HELD OUT

ELECTIONS
EXPECTED POLITICAL TIDE OF
WETNESS FAILS TO APPEAR
AND DRYS NOT ALARMED
WASHINGTON, July 10.—The tide
of “wetness” which many persons be
lieved would sweep the country when
Governor A1 Smith of New York sign
ed the dry law repeal has failed to
materialize, and even Gov. Smith has
found that his politiical aspirations
are effectually killed for the future.
An attempt to rush a dry law thru
the Illinois legislature came to grief,
and a similar attempt to make Wis
consin wet was met with a signifi
cant defeat.
Gov. Smith has not found any vio
lent movement to make him the wet
candidate for president, which he had
hopes would ensue, but on the con
trary leaders of the party are openly
announcing that his candidacy for
any important office would be a mis
take. Even so damp an enthusiast as
Tom Taggert has issued a statement
saying that Indiana is for Senator S.
L. Ralston, a dry advocate.
Indiana has been hospitable to the
Governor of New York but it has let
him know that it did not approve ot
his affront to the party and that it
will refuse to join in electing a wet
president.
Therefore the freely made predic
tions of the last few days that the
next campaign will be fought on a wet
and dry basis leaving other national
and international issues in the dis
card are not based upon a konwledge
of true conditions in the country at
large. Democratic and republican
leaders assert that the country is dry
and that it will stay dry. It is ac
knowledged that any attempt to tool
with the 18th amendment will be met
with defeat in the next congress.
It is conceded that the republican
party will be bone dry in the next
campaign. President Harding and
various leaders have said so. The G.
O. P. will.stand on a platform for pro
hibition enforcement to the hilt. The
democrats can do no less than fol
low suit. Disappointing as it may be
to the wets, even the most casual
survey shows that the democrats
will repulse all wet onslaughts and
will come before the people as dry as
the republicans.
The drys are naturally not worry
ing over their position, using both
sides to strengthen their position, and
waging a strong campaign against
any congressman believed to be for
modifying the Volstead act.

CHAMBER MAKES PLANS
IS MEEI THE PRESIDENT
President Whittlesey today presided
over a full house at the Chamber of
Commerce luncheon, the members be
ing on hand to conclude final arrange
ments for meeting the Presidential
party.
A discussion ensued over roads and
trails, it being the opinion of the
members that larger appropriations
should be provided by congress. Capt.
O. A. Johansen spoke briefly on the
: question, but asserted that the real j
road to Alaska was by steamship and
j the waters should be charted and
light houses secured. He said that
! Alaskan waters were the most neg
; lected waters in the world, and de
j dared that the freight rates would be
lowered more quickly by providing
safer lanes of travel, and the terri
tory would be more greatly benefited
than by land roads which could come
later.
The Chamber asked citizens to fur
nish cars to the members of the dec
1 orating committee, who desire to go
to pick flowers to decorate the I. O.
O. F. hall on Thursday afternoon.
Mr. P. C. McMullen reported briefly
j on the Civic Committee meeting last
i night.

Probably showers tonight and Wed-j
