Dry In Near Future With a claimed 40-miHion Americans favoring it, prohibition will again be the law of the land in the not-distant future, William F. Varney of Rockville. Centre, Prohibition Earty candidate for President in 1928, confidently believes.

Slowed down only slightly in recent months by illness, the tall, spare one-time candidate who "never expected to win" but fought for principles, can look back at the age of 72 at a lifetime battle against the "socially-irresponsible" liqupr industry. "I've seen the curse of liquor at close hand he asserted.

The fault for that lies in the fact that those responsible for enforcing the law failed to do so. It will come back once a third party dedicated wholeheartedly to its principles and with the resources to put them over is organized in opposition to the present major parties." An independent in his thinking, Varney will not vote this year be-' cause the Prohibition Party, which is running two candidates, is not on the ballot in New York State. Under state law it does not have enough voters to be on the ballot.

"It'j an abridgement of my rights a3 an American citizen not to ba able to vote for the party of my choice because of technicalities," he declared. "Thte same thin? happened to me in 1928 when my party was not on the ballot in this state nor in many other states." He firmly believes, said the rohibitionist, that if his party had been permitted to be on ballot! in each state, he would have obtained more than 1,000,000 otes and could possibly have held the balance of power in some tates. As it was, he polled Although he was well known In prohibition circles at the time of the 1928 convention and had run unsuccessfully several times for office in Nassau County, including state senator, assemblyman and mayor of Rockville Centre, Varney had not sought the nomination. "I was on a proposed list of candidates and knew most of the delegates from my years of aff ili- ation with and work for prohibi- tion groups, but I had no idea of running," he recalled. "When I was nominated I was quite sur-! prised and quite pleased at the opportunity." Realizing his chances at pulling votes away from Al Smith and Herbert Hoover were almost nil if ha could'nt get on the Varney conducted a "front campaign from his Rcokville Centre home.

"Oh, I made one or two speeches on Long Island and elsewhere in dry communities but not enough to amount to anything, "he rem-j inisced. "That was a terrible, campaign though with all its religious bigotry directed against: Al Smith.
