Ratify or Reject the Prohibition Amendment Change in Convention Date i HEX Utah's Legislature meets to take action on tlie matter in 1919 ' the fight to have the states ratify or reject the nation-wid- e prohibition amendment recently passed by Congress will be in its most active stages True the fight has already begun and it will reach progressive passes during 191S but the real contest between the drys and wets is not expected for more than a year since it is in 1919 that the issue will be decided according to James II Wolf of the attorney general's office in charge of administration of Utah's dry law In that year the legislatures of twenty-thre- e dry and thirteen wet states will convene whereas in 1918 the legislatures of but four dry states and eight wet states will meet Y Those who are leading the prohibition fight are going on the assumption Mr Wolf said which seems certain enough that the legislatures of all the dry states will vote dry that the legislatures of a few states which are wet only- In spots will likewise vote dry and that the fight must be made in those commonwealths where the wets and drya are numerically and in strategically about at a stand-of- f strength Thirty- - lx Mast Rat try There are forty-eigstates In the union Two-thirof these or thirty-si- x must ratify the prohibition amendment to make the country dry Twenty-seven states are now dry and twenty-one are wet The problem of the drys will be to win over at least nine of the wet states Sixty per cent of the country’s population lives in dry territory and 83 per cent of Its area is dry of dry states which meet Legislatures in 1913 are Georgia South All of them are Carolina and Virginia Mississippi The wet states expected to ratify to meet in 1913 are Kenlegislatures Louisiana Maryland Massachutucky New setts Jersey New York Ohio and Rhode Island Dry leaders claim that at least three and perhaps four of those eight wet states will ratify prohibition They are on Kentucky which banking a dryoutright has and 81 per cent legislature in dry territory of whose population is and Louisiana three-fourtof whose areas and 51 per cent of whose popuare are figuring on lation They dry or New as a either 0 “break Jersey with theirMaryland opponents and Ohio Their exthey have hopes of over Ohio Is based of winning pectation on the fact that although state-wid- e was defeated In 1915 by prohibition 55000 votes It lost out recently only by 1500 They figure that prohibition as indicated sentiment by this state In two years time will carry the gain by the time the legislature meets Dry states lVoi for 4’aoe The dry states meeting in 1919 are Alabama Arizona Arkansas Colnaao Idaho Indiana Iowa Kansas Maine Montana Nebraska New Michigan New Mexicit North CaroHampshire lina North Dakota Oklahoma Oregon South Dakota Tennessee Utah Vermont and West Virginia The drys have no misgivings as to any of these — they expect the twenty-thre- e legislatures to ratify prohibition The wet states to have legislative sessions 'In ISIS are California Connecticut Delaware Florida Illinois Minnesota Missouri Nevada Pennsylvania Texas Vermont Wisconsin and Wyoming Upon them the flfflit will center Dry leaders are alreadv claiming four of which the thirteen 91These are: Florida is already per cent dry now: Illinois whose state senate is

public reception” said Mr Lund last It might be quite difficult to night give a banquet or reception unknown to a lot of inquisitive people There need be no speaking music and song should suffice” Lund added that he will talk with Bishop Jones today or tomorrow when may be made for the rearrangements When asked last night If he ception would attend Bishop Jones said he first would expect to be consulted by one of the nonconformist committee Albin of the local secretary Socialist Borquist that the plans party declared for the banquet had gone awry through in the newspapers publicity Lund averred that the Socialist secretary in his denial was resorting to “pure camouflage” be quite a ’scoop to give “It would the reception to Bishop Jones to the alert newspaper folk unknown of Salt Lake and that still may happen but I feel that the bishop will favor a public reception if he accepts the invitation” added Lund The statement which has been expected from Bishop Jones relative to his resignation may come soon He said last night that It still is necessary to give the statement much of his thought Lund denied last night when asked if it had been planned to give the reception to
