RESIST WET MOVES
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 (AP)
The democratic party was
warned today that Its dry mem
bers will resist any attempt to
make the party wet In a flare of
prohibition debate that swept
both houses of congress.
The warning to the democrats
came from the newest democratic
senator Morrison, of North Car
olina. Representative Lehlbach, re
publican, New Jersey, asked in
the house that congress consider
his resolution to repeal the eight
eenth amendment. He based his
demand on the Wickersham re
port. . j -
Morrison' statement was In
spired by attacks on prohibition
from Senators Tydings, democrat,
Maryland, and Blaine, republican,
Wisconsin. In which Senator
Walsh, democrat, Massachusetts,
later joined.
The senate debate took place
on the motion of Senator Howell,
republican, Nebraska, to resume
consideration of his bill to provide
a 'rigid prohibition enforcement
law for the District of Columbia.
The motion was not acted on to
day and will be the pending busi
ness when the senate meets Mon
day! s -.v
Lehlbach, an administration
republican, predicted that the
party which fails now to meet the
prohibition issue squarely "will
be -overwhelmingly repudiated at
the next national election.
