VOLSTEAD TURNS ►DOWN CHAUTAUQUA PLATFORM OFFER Much ‘Cussed’ Congressman Going Back to Law Office. By United Per ft WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S.—Cashing in on hard words does not appeal to Representative Volstead—the man of Congress most “cussed” by wets. The much maligned man from Minnesota. it was learned today, has turned down a Chautauqua offer of *I.OOO a night to strafe with the synthetic “demon rum.” Instead of capitalizing his fame and carrying on further tho dry case when he leaves Congress on March 4, Voistead. who was defeated for reelection, is going back to his law office on Main St., Granite Falls, Minn., to practice his profession^ By passing up the offer, Volstead paves the way to his fondest hope—to prove he is not a professional prohibitionist. Destiny cold - decked this quiet kindly, serious-minded Norseman— friends swear by him, not at ■him—by making him chairman of the judiciary committee just when a law was needed to enforce the eighteenth amendment. Daw is one thing Volstead don’t know “nothing else but.” Since it was his duty, he drew 4. law that holds water—o'?* half of one per cent being regarded as such —in the courts. Wets made the welkin ring when he v. as licked but they were not responsible for his defeat. His district was dryer than old Tut’s tomb long before Broadway knew prohibition was not a breakfast food.”
