Tiii wn Iho declaration today of ncp-
resentatlvo Hobson, champion of national
ptohiblllon, following defeat In tho HoUso
last night of his "dry" resolution.
Hobson said tho voto of 197 votes for
Ihn tVunlttttnn nnd ISO against, although
161 vites less than tho necessary two
Ithlrds voto for submission of tho Con
stitutional amendment, was really a vie
tory and not n defeat.

secured a majority. If not two-thirds of
rtho voto. They declared this clearly
(Indicated tho growing prohibition senti
ment which will eventually mako tho na

A surprising feature of tho voto was
the small number who side-stepped only
1 25 Heproscntatives being absent and not
"paired."
"Drv" leaders flatly declared the "wet"
fr supporters would now bo out in tho open
lor tho voters 01 ineir tusinci 10 sustain
or repudiate them at tho polls next elec

question would be one of tho paramount
. Issues of tho 191G presidential campaign.
Tho next movo of tho Prohibitionists

tho Hobson proposal In the Ilouso, is

MAJORITY IN SENATE
"DRY" DECLARES SHEPPARD
WASHINGTON, Deo. 23.-Senator Shep
pard, of Texas, author of the Senate
resolution providing for a constitutional
amendment for national prohibition, to
day declared the result of tho voto In tho
House last night to bo a real victory for
the prohibition cause.
"Not only has a majority of tho na
tional Ilouso of Representatives declared
for natlon-wldo prohibition," ho said,
"but of those who did voto a far greater
proportion favorable to the resolution
will bo returned to the next Congresu than
of those who voted against the measure
"I believe that a majority of the Sen

League, the County No-llceuso Lcaguo
and tho Prohibition party will bo lined

Congressmen who voted against tho Hob
son resolution It these men come up foi
re-olccUon.
None, however, expressed surprlso that
Congressmen Moore, Donohoo and Ed
monds cast their ballots against the reso
lution. The Philadelphia Republican
Organization's stand Jn the recent Pen
rose fight, they assert, was sufficient evi
dence of what could be expected when
the Republican Congressmen from this
city voted on the National Prohibition
amendment They also know In advance
that Congressman Donohoe, tho Demo
cratic member, would cast his vote
against the resolution, they say.

Arising to n question of personal privi
lege, Representative Moore denounced as
"scandalous nnd false" a speech delivered
by Representative Drynn last night ac
cusing Moore of sympathy with the open
saloon nnd houses of prostitution. Rep
resentative Mooro yesterday mado a
speech against the prohibition amend
ment nnd attacked the Kenyon red light
law In this city as having scattered Vice
In nil sections of the capital.
"I shall say little about tho scandal nnd
billingsgate of the gcntlemnn from Wash
ington," itnld Moore. "The gentleman Is
a past mnster of that art. I know noth
ing about his personal hnblts, except that
ho Is a wanderer on the face of the
earth and finally has located In Wash
ington State. Tho people of Washington
finally havo taken his number nnd stopped
his usclcssncss here. His statement that
1 nm for the open snloon and houses of
prostitution Is as false as hell. I do
havo conscientious Idens about how to
regulate these evils, and I would rather
stand hero with my conscience clear
than to bo a hypocrite and scandal
monger, oven though tho galleries ap
plauded me."
Representative Bryan was so angry In
his retort that he refused to refer to
Moore as a "gentleman from Ponnsyl
vnnla." He used the words "denizen of
Philadelphia" and was called to order by
Speaker Clark. Bryan nsserted that
Moore's speech was tho common brothel
argument thnt vice Is scattered all over
a city unless there Is segregation. "His
statements about me," said Bryan, "are
Just as false as his arguments yesterday
wero pro-prostltutes I Insist thnt his
speech did Indicate ho wns an advocate of
tho saloon nnd houses of prostitution."
Although both members used the wort)
"false" and glared fiercely at one an
other, there was no physical encounter.

This was admitted today by Charles
