Anti-Repealists Had Fig

Of Best Bets to Remain
Dry by Ballots
BOTH SIDES CENTER
ATTENTION ON SOUTH
Farley Denies Personal
Representative at Work
In North Carolina
INDIANAPOLIS —(#)— Ingiana
hope of prohibitionists to stop a
steady march of states toward re
peal of the Eighteenth ameéndinent,
Wednesday had joined the wet pa
rade. g
In a special election. Tuesday it
became the tenth consecutive state
to decide that prohibition has no
part in the federal constitutjon
and should be removed through
ratification of the twenty-first
amendment.
The vopular state-wide vote on
the question was two to one in
favor of repeal. The unofficial tab
ulation was 501,239 to 277,694 in
3,374 of the state’'s 3,691 precinets.
Of the 239 delegates named in
Tuesday's election to the conven
tion that will meet here June 26
formally to register the will of the
people, 260 will be pledged to vote
ler the new amendmefit. '
" The anti-repealists will have 79
delegates.
Surprising strength came fiom a
\ngumber of rural countijes—here
tofore looked upon as strongholds
of the dry forces—to boost the vote
the repealists had been given in
the large cities.
Every thickly populated county
in the state, pledged its large del
egation to vote for repeal.
I"ifty-seven of the 92 counties in
Indiana voted for repeal.
Believing Indiana was the first
state where they had g chance to
defeat the proposal to remove
prohibition from the federal con
stitution, workers opposed to the
change made a vigorous campaign
1.. E. York, superintendent of the
Indiana Anti-Saloon League, in a
sta‘ement said he believed the dry
forces made a fine showing con
sidering “that the wets bhad the
support of both the national and
state administrations, along with
the election machinery.”
DIXIE BATTLEGROUND
BIRMINGHAM, Ala-——(#)—Battle
lines for a struggle that might
swing the national verdict on the
prohibition question were drawn
up in the south Wednesday.
Repealists” and anti-repealists
both have started organization to
draw the bloc of states regarded
as traditionally dry their way.
Superintendents of Anti-Saloon
Leagues from nine southern states
will meet here Wednesday to cen
ter the anti-repeal fight in Dixle
Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mis
sissippi, Tennessee, Georgia, Flor
ida, North Carolina and Alabama
are to be represented and officials
said F. Scott Mcßride, head of the
national organization, and Bishoyp
James Cannon, jr., of the MetHo
dist Episcopal Church, South, were
expected.
A state wide rally was held
here Tuesday and Mayor Charles
E. Rice of Homewood, campaigr
manager for the Alliance Against
Repeal of the Eighteenth amend
ment, forecast that “Alabama will
be held . July 18.
Meanwhile, at Jackson, Miss,
representatives of nine Mississippi
organizations joined hands in form
ing a united council for prohibi
tion repeal and legalization of beer
in Migssissippi.
Organization by both factions
started similarly in other south
ern and many border states.

INOTHER ENTRANT
IN CONGRESS RACE
Burson Asks Position of
Candidates on Spanish
War Vet Pensions
Candidates for congress in the
Tenth district .today’ were jolned
by another woman, Mrs. Joseph E.
W. McDonald of Augusta, whose
entry was made possible by ex
tending the time iimit for entrants
to Monday. »
Mrs. McDonald is the sixth Kich
mond county candidate for the seal
made vacant by the death of
Charles H. Brand. Two =of the
Richmond candidates, Roy V. Har
ris and Jan.es L. Cartledge are al
ready at each ether’s throats thus,
observers declare, eéllminating any
possibility of the Richmond county
political ieaders smoothing diffi
culties there which might result in
the bulk of the vote of that county
going to one person. Richmonds
principal hope of electing a con
gressman, so its citizens have
pointed out, lay in elimination of
all but one candidate, but the bit
terness which Harris and. Cartledge
have shown in their attacks on
each other has given a death blow
to that one hope, it is said.
Meanwhile, with thirteén in the
race, including two women, W. M
Burson, adjutant of Oscar Brown
Camp, United Spanish ‘War Veter
ans, and former state 'eommander,
today asked the candidates how
they stand on laws designed to re
store compensation -to veterans of
the Spanish war whose pensions
have been reduced by the economy
bill.
Burson Statement
