WET VOTE GAINING POLITICAL POWER

Enforcement of Dry Law an Impossibility, Says Writer. Ey 'Times Special NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—The wet vote will steadily increase and the practical politician will now seek the good will of the wets, says Walter Lippmann, writing in the current issue of Vanity Fair. “The controlling fact,” read his article, “is that in the densely populated regions of the country a decisive majority of inhabitants will not observe the law. There is no power in the federal government, winch any one could conceivably dare to invoke, that can compel them to observe the law. Therefore, the experiment has failed. “It has failed because there are so many people who are determined that it shall fail. Increased pressure to enforce the law can consequently merely sharpen the will to resist the law. It follows that the wet vote must steadily increase. For to those who will not obey there are added each day new recruits from those who see that the experiment is hopeless. These new recruits strengthen the resistance and further demoralize the enforcing power.” “The drys,” continues Vanity Fair, “have no reserves to draw upon. The older generation, which was dry because of its experience with the saloon and because of its moral-theological convictions, is passing; the new generation, which has reached voting age since prohibition, lacks the moral-theological convictions and knows vividly the evils of prohibition. The drys have lost the new generation on which they staked all their hopes. “It is impossible to imagine the miracle which could restore the dryascendancy of 1920. Politicallv, therefore, as all practical politicians know since the election of last November, tfie question is no longer whether to be wet or dry, , but how and when to be wet. For any men looking to a national political career in the decade of 1930 to 1940, the good will of the wets is indispensable as was the good will of the drys from 1920 to 1930.”
