SERVICE WASHINGTON, April 13. h or the first time since the Anti-Saloon League blew its boty dry breath across the United Slates, swecplnn everything before it. the smat "wet" element in congress seriously believes that the tide of popular favor is turning against the Vo!-B stead law so strongly that something can soon be done towards the modifying of the law probably along the line ot light wines and beer. The anti-Volsteaders have said before that sentiment was turning against Volsteadism, but they said it as a matter of principle and were not sure of their ground. This tiinn they sincerely belie-ve it, and their belief is shared by a surprisingly large number of dry congressmen. Three notable "liberal" victories, scored at the polls this week, have icontributed to this belief. They are: (1) In the 37th cong-regsional district oi New York, Judge Frank Irvine, Democrat, running on a wet platform, came within S-O00 votes of being elected to congress over Lewis Henry, Republican. In a district that is normally overwhelmingly Republican. (2) In the 12th congressional district of Illinois. Represent ative Ira C. Copley.
