HANLY DECLARES VETO OF DRY BILL UNWISE.
J. Frank Hanly, former governor of Indiana and a prohibition leader, characterized President Wilson’s veto of the national prohibition enforcement act as “unwise and appointment to his best friends.” “On Saturday he pointed out to the miners that their contracts On a wage agreement to ‘run during the continuance of the war’ were still in effect and that the war was not over, but yesterday he told the liquor interests that the war is over and his veto message sets out the the war emergencies are passed,” Mr. Hanly “I hope congress will pass - the act- over his veto. President Wilson has so complicated himself with Samuel Gompers, representing the brewery interests in the country, that the president is no longer himself.”
