Vict Idea! entertainer Foiiai House Democrats Ignore Sub i ject in Caucus and Special L Rule Is Uncertain. hote' r or snimmer 'DRYS" INSIST ON RECORD homes and. Chairman Henry First Proniii.es to Keport Rule Calling for Vote, but, Under Pressure, Has Change of Opinion. OREGONIAN" NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 19. At their recent caucus on the legislative programme the Dem ocrats of the House of Representatives artfully dodged the prohibition ques tion and refused to consider the Hob son resolution on the ground that pro hibition is not a party question; nor was any serious effort made to ret an expression of opinion on this question from the caucus. Friends of the Hobson resolution, however, intend, if they can bring- it About, to force the committee on rules to bring in a special rule a little later in the session, providing for the con sideration of this resolution, and when that demand is made, opponents of Na tional prohibition will undertake to prevent action by the rules committee. Chairman Henry Change Mind. It has been demonstrated beyond doubt that the Hobson resolution can not come before the House this session unless it is brought up under a special rule. For a time Chairman Henry, of the rules committee, held out the prom ise that he would report such a rule and allow the House to go on record. If such a rule were reported, there is little question but it would be agreed to, and that would open the way to a record vote on a question that all previ ous Congresses have been able to avoid. Chairman Henry, however, has un dergone a change of heart, if his u-asive action indicates his innermost inulses, but that is only natural, because of the fact that tremendous pressure has been brought to bear upon him to stifle the prohibition resolution by refusing to report a special rule for its considera tion. Iemocratic tactics on the prohi bition question have shifted often and rapidly during the past two weeks, and it is impossible to predict what the out come will be. Committee Dodges Ixsoe. After standing the prod for a long time, the House committee on judiciary reported the Hobson resolution without recommendation, thus relieving Itself of the responsibility for stifling consid eration of the measure. When the resolution was reported to the House it was pointed out by the opponents of prohibition that it would not bo con sidered, as it would have to be called up on some Wednesday, under the new rules, and the legislative manipulators of the House have so maneuvered that . the resolution cannot come up in that way this session. Only a few days after the antis had announced that they had the issue shelved. Chairman Henry, of the rules committee, finding himself and his col leagues being held responsible for the sidetracking of the prohibition resolu tion, announced that a special rule would be brought in. and that the House would have to make its own rec ord. Caiitm Ignores Subject. Then came the caucus, where the subject was Ignored, and following the caucus Mr. Henry let it be known. that his committee could not see the neces sity for a rule, and the defense was . made that the rules committee could not fairly be held responsible for the tabling of the prohibition measure. The advocates of prohibition, seeing how the land lies, now propose, if pos sible, to make it apparent that only through the rules committee can a vote be had in the House, and they believe that if this fact is sufficiently adver tised. Mr. Henry and other Democrats on the rules committee will have to change front again and bring in a spe cial rule. That, at least, is their hope. DRYS BLAMED FOR DEFEAT Roscburg Congressional Aspirant Sees Statewide Prohibition. ROSKBL'IiG. Or.. May 19. (Special.) - That his defeat was due to the prohi bition forces, who rallied to the sup port of W. C. Hawley, was the explana tion of B. F. Jones, defeated aspirant for Representative in Congress from this district. 4 ' "I attribute my defeat to prohibi tion." said Mr. Jones. "The air is full of it. The primary election was a pro hibition landslide, especially in thi Congressional district. In my opinion the people outside the county of Mul nomah will vote dry two to one at the coming November election, and the vote may be so strong that it will overcome that county and Oregon will have state wide prohibition." n 8 Daily demonstrations at all Victor dealers.
