PROHIBITION IN AMERICA
REOPENING OF THE QUESTION
“SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS.”
“THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE HEARD.”
“DRY” MINISTER SUPPORTS MOVE.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—copyright:.
Rec. 6.40 p.m. New York, April 16. Significance is attached to two developments in the prohibition situation. The Missouri Republican convention has asked for the re-submission of the Eighteenth Amendment to State constitutional conventions, a request that has been approved by Mr. A. M. Hyde, Missouri (Secretary of Agriculture), one of the leading dry exponents in Cabinet.
The second development is the announcement of plans for nation-wide “beer parades,” suggested by the Mayor of New York (Mr. A. Walker) for May 14. Heads < f cities and national groups of various sorts, including the American Federation of Labour, have accepted the proposal and the demonstration is expected. Mr. Hyde’s move is expected to presage a similar programme in the national Republican Party’s platform. Mr. Hyde explains that he has not changed his views but believes the “people’s right” should be heard.
