LID OF COFFIN FALLS; REIGN OF DRYS ENDS Repeal Parley Delegates Go Through Motions of Burying Prohibition. Legislative halls that once echoed to prohibition's victory paean heard its swan song Monday at the Statehouse, when the Indiana constitutioinal convention went through the ceremonious formality of concurring in repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Instead of the drys’ jubilant shouts, there was a full-throated yell from 1,000 liberals as John W. Eggeman of Ft. Wayne, permanent president of the convention, announced the vote was as expected, 246 to 83 for ratification of the twenty-first amendment, which repeals the eighteenth. There was another burst of applause when Eggeman announced: “I sign this enrolled resolution with the same pen which Governor McNutt used in signing repeal of the Wright bone dry law." Aside from these demonstrations, a thunderous ovation given Eggeman when he took the chair, and some heckling of a dry delegate

who insisted on being heard, the convention was a very commonplace affair. Most of the interest attached to the convention was over the political footwork displayed by the Governor in the morning. Oscar G. Foellinger. Republican publisher of Ft. Wayne, came to Indianapolis with a resolution demanding that the convention go on record for draught beer. So did Harold Van Orman, Evansville, former Lieutenant-Governor, and the Lake and Vigo county delegations. The Governor doesn't care to hear any more about draught beer at present, and he could point out logically that draught beer has no place on the program of a constitutional convention. McNutt had passed the word along that he wanted his fripnd, Thomas McCullough, Anderson newspaper executive, for convention president. The permanent organization committee listened and picked McCullough Repeal leaders wanted Eggeman, ; high ranking Democrat and veteran ! foe of prohibition, for the president honor. So the draught beer enthusiasts were called off and the ; committee went back into session and picked Eggeman for president. McCullough and Henry W. Marshall, Republican publisher of Lafayette. were chosen viee-presidents, and Mrs. Meredith Nicholson Jr., Indianapolis, was made permanent secretary. Most of the draught beer adherents were placated rapidly enough by the Eggeman Victory, but Van Orman, always hard to down, threatened to the last to drag in ' draught beer by the ears.
