"DRY" BILL WINS
IN STATE SENATE
BY29T016V0TE
Pennsylvania Forty-fifth to
Ratify Prohibition
Amendment
NO FIREWORKS ATTEND
Senator Vare Explains "Dry''
Vote as Futile to De
clare "Wet"
5 Philadelphia Senators
Vote 'Dry'S Go 'Wet'
How the Philadelphia members
of the State Sonato voted on the
prohibition amendment:
FOR. Senators Vare, Martin,
Woodward, Cray nnd Patton.
AGAINST Senators Dalx, Salus
and McNlchol.
Tho total vote of tho Senato for
the measure was 29; against It, 10.
The suprlso of tho vote was when
Senator William E. Crow, Republi
can stato chairman, voted "wet."
Bu a Btaff Correspondent
Hanisburg, Feb, 25. Pennsylvania
today became tho forty-fifth stato to
ratify tho national prohibition amend
ment. At 11:15 o'clock this morning, tho
resolution of ratification by a voto of
twenty-nine for and sixteen against.
Tho Houso has already passed tho
measure.
Neither debate nor fireworks marked
the Senate action.
As the presiding officer reached the
resolution, which was'tho last meas
ure on tho third reading calendar, a
rustle among the vast crowd In tho
gallery and sldo aisles of tho Senato
was the only Indication that something
of moro than unusual Importance wus
about to transpire.
The clerk began to read the bill. As
soon as he had finished, Senator Vare,
Philadelphia, who was the only
speaker, took the floor.
"I wish to announce that I Intend
to vote for tlils measure," Senator
Vare said.
Vare Explains "Dry" Vote
"I am not opposed to liquor. If it
Is used properly, but I can see no use
of voting against this measure, when
it Is already a part of the law of the
land."
Aa soon as Senator Vare had con
cluded the clerk began calling the roll.
Tho Philadelphia Senators who
voted "dry" are Varo, Martin, Gray,
Patton and Woodward. Those who
voted "wet" arc. Senators Dalx, Salus
and ilcNIchol.
Senator McNlchol had a huge pile
of petitions on his desk to show that
his vote was In accord wun tno senti
ment of his district. The petitions
came solely from tho wards which ho
represents.
The big surprise of the vote was that
Senator William K. Crow, Republi
can state chairman, and administra
tion whip on the floor of tho Senate,
voted '"wet."
Had Been Expected to Vote "Dry"
It had been announced all along that
Senator Crow, who had been Insistent
on Immediate consideration of tho
measure, would vote "dry." His shift
therefore, was a surprise.
As soon aB tho vote was announced
the spectators left the Senate chamber.
There was no cheering or applause, such
as marked the passage of tho resolution
by tho House two weeks ago.
Liquor lobbyists stood disconsolately
alonr the side aisles of tho Senate at
the breaking of the last link In the
chain of hope they had welded together.
They had counted on New York, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and several more
of tho big eastern states rejecting tho
amendment.
Then they proposed to declare that
the amendment did not represent tho
sentiment of the people. New York
gave them the first jolt by ratifying and
Pennsylvania proved their utter un
doing. In both states the victories for tho
drys" were engineered by Republican
""H leaders and put through by Republican
majorities.
"Wete to Try to Legalize lleer
The next move of tho "wets" will be
an effort to have legislation enacted per
mitting the sale of beer and light wines.
The "drys" will oppose such measures.
The vote on tho resolution follows:
yoll Senators Baldwin, Potter:
Barnes, Wayne; Barr, Allegheny;
Beales, Adams; Campbell, Mercer;
Craig, Beaver; Davis, Lackawanna ;

Since the signing of it ho armistice

cerning the return of the fighting men.
but not until today has anytnlng definite
been announced concerning the balling

(Icneral Pershing, appreciating that
tho folk back home wero becoming un

of troops not needed hi the army of occu

to bo made up of regulars. There are a
few national army and national guard
units that do not appear on (Jeneral

Owing to the great number of re

hours.
Unquestionably, the President faces
one of the most rigorous weeks of his
career. Ho has to convince Congress
before he returns to Europe or see the
whole magnificent scheme of his diplo
macy' threatened.
At n cabinet meeting this after
noon he will discuss the advisability
of mi appearance before a Joint ses
sion before the end of tho week.
Moanu hlle the campaign of opposition
is shaping under the direction of Sen
ator Lodge.
Ignores "Guerrilla" Attacks
Uorah's speeches and Polndexter'a
outbreak arc rega-ded merely as plte
ously futilo adventures In guerrilla
warfare.
Mr. Lodge, by his silence, hns gain
ed prestige. What he wiys In the
Senate after his meeting with thn
President at the Foreign Helatloils
Committee dinner tomorrow night will
probably swing much wavering Influ
ence In Congress.
It Isn't conviction that the President
will have to overcome. It is the lack
of It. Congress realizes dimly that
the whole scheme of national proce
dure la to bo changed and Congress Is
rresinents own party, and It is as
serted that. If tho memh.r.s of the
Koreign Relations Committee do not

Internationalism proposed by the

pointed out that Mr. Wilson has hot
returned with the sort of covenant
which ho himself desired. The refusal
of the Allk'd representatives to pro-
