POLITICS AND THE DRY AMENDMENT Albany, N. Y., Feb. 25. The first skirmish in the fight to put New York in the dry column will occur here to morrow, when the Assembly Judiciary Committee will give a public hearing on the Hill-McNab resolution calling for the ratification of the Federal pro hibition amendment by the New York Legislature. William J. Bryan and several other noted advocates of pro hibition have signified their intention to attend the hearings and speak in behalf of the ratification of the Fed eral amendment. Indications are not lacking that the public hearings may develop into a lively session. Recently charges have been freely made that politics in this State is attempting to make a foot ball of national prohibition. Advocates of the Federal prohibition amendment were surprised at the early date fixed for beginning the public hearings be fore the Assembly Judiciary Commit ted. The Anti-Saloon League has. openly charged that Speaker Sweet, who announced the date for the hear ings, has gubernatorial ambitions, and called the hearing as early as possib ly in an attempt to turn down the Federal amendment, still leaving time to send through a State prohibitoin amendment. This, it is charged, would give the Speaker a "temper ance" record against Governor Whit man, who would be expected to veto any attempt to delay ratification by referring the Federal amendment to the people,, whereas a State amend ment resolution could go through without reference to him. sociation, jneeting in conjunction with the National Congress -of Mothers and Parent-Teachers' Association and sev eral other affiliated bodies. The best policy to be pursued by the schools of the United States during the pe riod of the war will furnish the prin cipal theme of the gathering. .
