WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. "Willi twenty
flr Statu ImvltiR rtsclnrfd for prohibition,
with more thnn sixty ior cent, of the popu
lation of tho United State! Ilvlnc In ilry
territory, CotiRreas cannot loncer deny the
American people their right to pass upon the
attention of ninendlnB their constitution."
That declaration was made today hy IM
ru C Dinwiddle, superintendent ot the
Anti-Saloon League of America, who I
plannlnn' tho tlrtvo on Congress for nation
wlile prohibition.
The fact, that William Jennings llryan
has announced his Intention to work for a
natlon-wldo prohibition plank ,ln, the next
Democratic platform has given the dry
forces great hopes.
"Congress should pass at tho approaching
short session the resolution to,- submit the
amendment for 'national prohibition," ; Din
wlilille continued. "Longer delay would bo
disloyal to the principles of the Govern
jnent which Congress serves." a
'It Is apparent that tho "curtain ralier'.'
tattle which the prohibitionists Intend to
fight In Congress will be for a "dry" Dis
trict ot Columbia. It has boen realized for
several years that Congress would vote the
District dry If It was brought face to face
with the Issue A "rider" on tho last Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation hill which
would havo mado the cjnpltal (fry wns re
moved In the last session on a technicality.
WOULD BE D16GHACEFUL
"Tho nation's capital," said, Superin
tendent Dlnwlddlo, "should bo the model
city ot tho world and should empress the
highest nnd best governmental policy In
promoting, human, wnlfnre. To allow It to
remain In Its moral standards" below the
average of the nation would be Inexcusable
and disgraceful. More than holt the States
and a majority of the people have adopted
prohibition as their governmental policy.
Congress should pass at' once tho District of
Columbia prohibition .bill."
Impetus has been given the move to make
the District dry by State-wide prohibition
In Virginia. Just across the Potomac Illver
from Washington, and by the constantly In
creasing number of- dry counties' In Mary
land In the north, east nnd west ot the
capital.
"Mlchlgnn," said the Anti-Saloon League
official, "has voted for State-wide prohibi
tion by 65,000 majority; Nebraska, by
15,000; Montana, by 20,000; South Dakota,
by 20,000, and Alaska by a large majority.
Idaho has ndopted a constitutional amend
ment for prohibition by n majority of three
to one, after ten months' experience with
statutory prohibition. Utah and ' Florida
have elected Legislatures nnd Governors
pledged to State-wldo prohibition.
OTllEIt STATES FIKM
"Washington, Colorado, Arlxona and Ar
kansas have defeated attempts of the liquor
people to secure the adoption of proposals
which would have crippled their prohibi
tory law, nnd Ore'gon not only did this, but
strengthened her laws. Thus twenty-five
States out of forty-eight, more than half
the States In tho Union, hnve now adopted
or declared for State-wldo prohibition, nnd
more thnn sixty per cMif of the population
and moro than eighty-five per cent of the
area of the country are now under prohibi
tion laws.
"In less than two years prohibition laws
have gone Into effect In States having a
population of 12,000,000. Four States which
have Just voted dry havo a population of
mora than 5,000.000. The liquor trafllo Is
doomed to speedy destruction."

A FRENCH liner steams majestically into
New York Harbor, bringing the latest V;
modes from Paris.
An exclusive shop on Fifth Avenue exhibits unusually J ;'
smart gowns.
Among the first to see and study these new styles are ;
expert designers from the Blauner factory in New York.
Located in the fashion center of America, our repre
sentatives keep constantly in touch with the newest creations.
They duplicate them, improve them, and we manufacture
them to sell at prices which enable even the woman with
moderate means to be as smartly gowned as her sister on
Fifth Avenue, and at a mere fraction of the cost.
Three generations of experience in buying cloth by the ;
bolt and a thorough knowledge of materials and markets i
enable us to purchase large quantities of the choicest fabrics
at most favorable prices. The benefit of this experience is
passed on to you, and the savings are reflected On every
Blauner price tag.
For three generations Blauner's have specialized in the manufacture of
women's wearing apparel. This specialization has naturally resulted in manu
facturing efficiency of the highest type, until today the Blauner label' in a
garment means that it is as good as thirty years of progressive and conscientious .
efforts have enabled us to make it.
This efficiency means a lower cost of manufacture. The consequent saving i
also does its share in producing garments of the highest type at such wonder- ;
fully low prices. ' ...
