Penrose Gubsroatorial Oasdidate Flirting
With Prohibition Amendment,
The expected bas happened. BState
Benator William C. Sproul, Penrose
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion for Governor, bas declared him-
gelf for the Sheppard federal prohibi-
tion amendment-—not too strenuously
but strongly enough, he thinke, to get
him a seat on the band wsgon.
Political observers knew he would
do this even weeks ago when he form-
ally announced himself a candidate at
the Penrose-brewery dinper at Pitte-
burgh. They knew that eventuslly
he would eay something connecting
his pame with the federal amendment,
even while he was fishing about to see
if local option were entirely dead and
if there was hope in advocating a State
prohibition amendment. Governor
Brumbeugh sensed the situation and
go did J. Drony O'Neil, the State #d-
ministration candidate, more than a
month ago io political speeches wher
they said that a man’s past record and
pot his campaign promises is the
thing to be weighed.
Mr. Bproul took about seven weeks
to reach his decision. He made =a
pusayfoot excursion to Senator Pen-
rose’s private cffice at Washington
and saw him also at Philadelphia sev-
eral times before the statement was
finally launched. “These trips served
notice on the Penrose bosses in the
counties 'hat the statement was not to
be sneered at, and within a day or two
aftes puolication of the statement, Re-
publican lesdeis in all parts of the
State, who in the past bad brought out
and backed wet candidates to a finish
fight were »srdently dry.
While the prohibition amerdment
has been made a gubernatorial issue,
the fact etill remains that the legisia-
tive districts must elect dry men if
the Btate is to be counted in among
the thirty-six needed for ra ification,
“Dry” workers and politicians be-
lieve that there is a possibility of the
ratification being accompanied by the
Bpriog of 1919, aud this is possible
even without the aid of Pennsylvania.
There is none who believe that the
seven-year period for ratification pro-
vided in the Sheppard resolution, will
be required. Bo far the wels have not
been victorious in a sipgle contest ln a
State legislature. Eight states consid-
ered the amendment and have ap-
proved it. Delaware will probably be
pext and Georgia will probly approve
it in June. Only one Governor,
Charles Henderson, of Alasbame, has
fought the issue aud bis opposition
hes prevented action in Alsbams.
Fourty-one legislatures will mueet next
year, ' iucloding Pencsylvanis, Of
these thirty-three do not meet this
year,
{ This is no time for half-hearted
statements of the kind that Henstor
Bproul hss made. The voters know
in a general way of his 22-year record
in the State Benate where he has al-
ways supported Penrose, opposed hu-
mantariap measures and voted agaiost
prohibiiion bills, The Delaware Sen-
ator bas bardled the situation ss a
politician seeking votes. He has pot
given encouragement to the keener pol-
iticisns of his own fection or to the
men of no party who are interested in
aoti-liquor legislation, He said :
“The prohibition question has be-
come a great economic issue and senti-
ment of the present time and of the
country is undoubtedly in favor of the
pational prohibition smendment. It
is in the spirit of sacrifice, self-denial
and self-discipline to which the Ameri-
can people have committed them-
sel ree, and Pennsylvania conservative
a8 she is in matter of this kind may be
depended upon to act promp.ly and
favorably upon this question,
A. Mitchell Palmer, Democratic
National Committeeman from Penn-
sylvanis, said, after reading the state-
ment :
“[ gather he said probibition senti-
ment in Pennsylvania is exceedingly
strorg and that the prohibition a-
mendment undoubtedly will bea great
issue in the coming campaign, 1 saw
nowhere » statement by bim that he
stands with this sentiment and is eag-
er it should produce a prohibition ma-
jority in the legialature,
Senator Bproul will have to be more
positive than he sppears to have been
at We-t Chester If he wants the anti
liguor people In Pennsylvania really
to believe he stands with them and
not with their political enemies, His
statement, so far as I can see, is indioa-
tive of a desire to straddle the ques
tio», But on this question there can
be no straddling.
“It Senator Sproul or any othet
candidate for Governor of Penneyl-
vania is not positively and sc'ive'y in
favor of the election of a leglela ure
