INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE RE-1
VEALS DRYS HAVE SPENT;
ENORMOUS SUM 21 STATES
- .
WASHINGTON, July 3. Wayne
B. Wheeler, the chfef counsel for the
to the Senate Investigating committee
Anti-Saloon league submitted a report
revealing that the Drys have spent a
total of §44,917,576 in 21 states dur
ing the past six years to make Amer
ica a dry nation. This astounding to
tal is larger by millions of dollars
than the previous estimates and was
expended freely for lobbying, with
hundreds of thousands thrown about
freely to conquer the Wets. The
questioning of Wheeler waged warm
and he admitted openly that lobbying
by the leaders of the league prevent
ed the repeal of the modification mov
to Congress.
The great Dry Czar Andrews is now
seriously considering resigning with
in the next few days due to lack of
cooperation from Congress, President
Coolidge and the Department or Jus
tice. Other reports declare that he
will first make his trip to Europe
where he expects to reach agreements
with the British government, France
and other nations to practically stop
the flow of liquor from these countries j
into the U. S., and then offer his re-!
signation probably in September. Re
ports of his resignation came as a
great surprise on the eve of assemb
ling the greatest Dry army in the his
tory for the supreme test of prohibi
tion laws and the nation’s power to
enforce it.

conceivable yet the record for rim
round-trip is considerably less
than one hour. The beauty of the
race, however, is that from any
part of Seward the runners car
be seen at all times which makes
the race intensely interesting. It
is a race which you will ever re
call for it is doubtful 2 you will
ever have the opportunity of wit

there are three entrees each of
