WET ACTIVITY IS WANTED
Washington. A move to "insure
sympathetic reception" in the state
legislatures of a congressional reso
lution repealing the eighteenth
amendment was urged upon Gover
nor Moore to press before the con
vention of governors in Richmond,
Va., April 24, for state action look
ing toward constitutional conven
tions in two-third3 of the states.
Prohibition, Hartley said, should
become an issue in state, as well as
national campaigns so the legisla
ture may be pledged to action when
a resolution amending the constitu
tion is referred to them by congress.
Hartley in his letter to the governor
suggested an alternative method of
bringing the repeal demand from
wet states before congress. He urg
ed the governor's convention consid
er state constitutional conventions
dealing with prohibition. He point
ed out that approval by constitu
tional conventions of dry law re
peal in two-third3 of the states would
force congress to take direct action.

tonight, when-the republicans failed

would support the measure intact.

there came a time in a "nation's li-
