THE MUNCIE SUNDAY STAR, SEPTEMBER, 14, 1930. 3 WETS ELATED BY SENATE INROADS Dry League Seen as Playing Stupid Politics. By Everett C. Watkins. Washington, Sept.

are "encouraged" by the recent primary results retiring outstanding dry members of Congress, but they are especially jubilant that the Anti-Saloon League of Illinois, because it lacks ordinary political gumption, has paved the way for the possible election of a wet United States Senator. It is the comment of many drys that the Anti-Saloon League, since the deathe of B. the Wheeler, wise has and played sagacious stupid politics. Making Mess of Things. While the C.

T. has continued to carry a constructive temWon League, brains of a perance the Anti-Saloon Wheeler, has been making a mess of things politically. The much satisfaction from the fact that one of the two bonedry congressmen of Michigan to go down to a primary defeat was a former superintendent of the AntiSaloon League of that state, but it is the Illinois situation, with the AntiSaloon League forcing a division among drys, that pleases them most. In that state J. Hamilton Lewis, Democratic nominee for U.

S. Senator, an advocate of prohibition repeal has had his chances for election greatly by the Anti-Saloon League Illinois, of which George B. Safford is superintendent, entering a third candidate, an independent dry, in the senatorial race against the dry Ruth Hanna McCormick. Thus Ruth Hanna McCormick, the Republican nominee, both personally and politically dry, will have the opposition of rotte the Anti-Saloon League and wet Democratic nominee. Except for the act of the AntiSaloon League, J.

Hamilton Lewis, the wet candidate, faced certain defeat at the polls in November. Lewis Saved From Defeat. But he has been saved from a hopeless situation and given a big chance to win by the Anti-Saloon League failing to use political commonsense. Ham" now has a distinct advantage with dry forces divided. Because she is personally and politically dry.

the Anti-Saloon League when she her successful priindorsed Hanna McCormick Rudde mary race a few months ago. She is still personally and politically dry, unchanged in her own views, but now the Anti-Saloon League, with the November election in to independent candidate, a the ant offing, has switched its support woman easily coaxed into the contest because she disliked Mrs. McCormick personally, and attempted to cause a division in the dry ranks. A referendum to test prohibition sentiment in Illinois is to be held in connection with the election. will vote that referendum.

anRuth Hanna, McCormick, while she nounced she would, as a public official be obliged to accept the result of the referendum, give heed to "the voice of Illinois" accept the vote of the majority, whether it be wet or dry. League's Action Resented. Her statement was similar to that made a few months ago by the dry Senator Wesley Jones, state of Washington, author of the 5-10 law, the law increasing penalties for prohibition violations. With his state planning to hold a referendum, Senator Jones, who next to Senator Sheppard, is the Senate's outstanding dry, stated he vote dry and believed his state would again vote dry, but that as a Senator he would feel an obligation, if he is to i be representative of the state to accept the referendum result, no matter what the majority favored. With Ruth Hanna McCormick, dry opponent of the wet J.

Hamilton Lewis announcing that while she remains a dry, she would accept the verdict of Married Fifty-Three Years Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Coate of Warren, well known former Muncie residents will celebrate their fifty-third wedding anniversary today. They married in Covington, on September 13, 1877, later moving to Little Rock, where two children Ortha and Lawrence were born. In 1893 they moved to this city where they lived for thirty-four years, and have been residing in Warren for the past the referendum when it is held, Superintendent Safford, who obviously political amateur, at once proposed a third ticket.

The third ticket. of course, has no possible chance of success at the polls, but unless drys refuse to follow the amateur political leadership of the Anti-Saloon League, take votes the dry independent, dry candidate may Ruth McCormick to send the wet Ham" to the United State Senate. There are reports from Illinois, however, that thousands of drys resent the Anti-Saloon League's action and, to prevent a wet victory, will stand by the one dry leader, Ruth McCormick, who has a chance to A. Wayne B. Wheeler would matte spared the Illinois drys from the political boner of its Safford.

COMPLEX BATTLE EVOLVED IN ILLINOIS SENATE CAMPAIGN Chicago, Sept. 13 (P) -A complex battle was evolved during the first week of the Illinois senatorial campaign with prohibition as the outstanding issue. Complications arose among the dry forces as well as a contingent stand on that subject by the personally dry candidate, Ruth Hanna McCormick. In contesting with James Hamilton Lewis, Democratic wet candidate, Mrs. McCormick has announced that she would abide by the referendum to be held on prohibition at the same time a senator is elected in November.
