Prohibition is a potentially big issue is-sue in the campaign, and the enforcement en-forcement chieftains hope to avoid any criticism which might be used to accenutate tho wet-dry issue. Want Soft Pedal-Already Pedal-Already dry headquarters have let it be known they desire to "keep prohibition off the front pages of papers." Officials state they are working quietly and explain there is really no news. They make no secret of their hope that this state of affairs will continue at least until after the elections.
