Missouri Senator Tells of
' Liquor at Both National
Conventions In Vitriolic
Speech Pretended Vir-

Shouts Abhorrence of So

Dry.

WA S IIING TON, Feb. 1 6. ( IP)
A torrent of scorn aim derision
lor prohibition anil the -disciples
ot prohibition was loosed In the
Hi'iKito Uy Senator Heed ot .Mis
souri. , .
- Delivering one or the few ex
tended speeches of the session
which is seeing the Missourian
bow himseir voluntarily off thu
Htago of public service, he turned
upon those who voted dry and
drink wet with a fury which ho
even has seldom approached -In
jlhe historic: years of his turbulent
I senatorial career.
Ho scnrchlnwa3 his titlark that
the long awaited Heed-Borah do-
bate on prohibition, the dream of
(hose who love to listen to. sharp
ly turned forensic thrusts nurt
coupler thrusts, became a possible
uiarorical treat for next week. At
the request of Senate Uorah tho
iseuuie HRreeu 10 remuve uiw mini
on dubat0t bnt whether the Ida-
noun win oeciue 10 re my uirecuy
to" Senator Reed Monday was not
fully iliHCluHetl.
The Missouri Demount contend
ed that the United States is iu a
reign of hypocrisy nnd cant, of
violence, ((jilcanery, false pre- i
tense and fraud," ;nd predicted
that the time would come when
the American people would awf It
en to the view, that the prohib
itory law is the worst crime that
has ever taken- place."
. lie Hhouled that a man who
voted dry nevertheless drinks In
'vA cow 'arH'rtt kmifivisk ward
anu saut no mism n nine nmuu
public the names of members of
congr'ofMi whoso personal habita
are contrail to their sentiments
as registered by thoir votes on
prohibition proposals.
The Jonoblll to Increase pen
alties for prohibition law violat
ors was the order of business in
the senate and under a previous
agreement debate on the measure
would- have been limited after 4
p. m. Monday? At the request of
Senator Koran four additional
hours of unrestricted discussion
was provided.
As Keed warmed to his subject
he wiiil that, in time the country
will sec tho prohibition law come
"to an ignoininous end."
."The day wlil come," ho thun
dered, "when, the man who votes
for prohibition and who himself
violates the letter and the spirit
of the prohibition and who him
self violates tiie U-ter and the
spirit of tho taw will be held in
that kind of contempt which
ought to be visited upon the knav
ish iiypocito who masks himself
hehlniQ pretended virtue and who
seeks to hold office by virtue of
h is f a Ise pret e nse.
"The day will enme when judges
who have made malefactors of
decent hoys and men will 'sink
Into that obloquy which is the
just reward of cruelty, oppression
and wrong. . ,
"The day will come in this
country when organized groups
will no longer conduct the gov
ernment, but once more the voice
of the people will be heard and
knell of thno who hnvo gelded
nn',,n1"1 ,n,R,it IOMmv inwn
lug.'
The senator asserted he had no
criticism of those men who them
selves observe, tho doctrines they
would force -on others, but, he
declatd: VI hold in an abhor
rence and contempt that cannot
be painted in any tongue that man
has ever possessed tho creature
who, to keep his place In thin
body or in tho house i( represen
tatives will mako that a felony
which ho himself connives at in
his pcrmitutl practice."
. Acidly the senator told of drink
ing nt tho Republican and Uemo
cratlc conventions Inst summer at
Kansas City am! Houston. He
said that Just prior to the con
uor were .confiscated.
"It was manifest lo anybody
but a plain, ordinary fool." the
Missourian declared", that tint ar
rest was arranged for. The pa
pers spread It broadcast that tho
Democrats wanted to have a con
vention where everybody was as
dry as a .Sahara desert camel.
Then In the hotels everybody was
informed tho particular ,room
where the liquor could be ob
tained." At Kansas City, he went oo.
turning to the Republican lido ot
the chamber, "leading official pro
hlhitionifttft were paying the boys
In tho hotels from $7 to tie n
