With the exception of Ohio, where the late returns from a rural district reversed the earlier figures, nn<l now give a ; prohibition victory in th© light wine and beer referendum, by probably 100.000 majority, the ‘-wet« 5 appear to be increasing their victory. It now seems assured that 155 of the newly-elected members off the House of Representatives are anti-prohibitionists, running “ wet ” platforms calling for tli© modification of the Volstead law. to permit the sale of light wines and beers. Tn justice to Mr Volstead, who lias been beaten, it must be recorded that his successful opponent, the R.ev Kyaie. declared himself even “ drier ” than Mr Volstead.
