"Brewers of the United States will use every legal and constitutional means to keep that liberty and that property that guaranteed to us by the constitution," Christian W. Feigenspan declared hers to day at the United States Brewers ' confer ence of which he is president. "Counting the non-ratifying states, those which have not voted for state pro hibition and those which have -voted a gainst federal or state constitutional pro hibition in recent years," he said, " we have twenty-five or more than a majority of the whole number." "There are 21 referendum states, 15 of which are not included in the fore going. In these states the people have reserved to themselves 'the power to ap prove or reject at the polls any act of the legislature. ' They must, therefore, be counted as states which have not ratified. Adding these states to the 25 mentioned heretofore, we have a total of 40 in which the people are either opposed to federal prohibition, or have been denied their un doubted right to pass upon it No won der the proponents of this system fought tooth and nail against letting the peo ple vote." "The present short period of prohibi tion has been a blessing in disguise. It has aroused the American people to the necessity of being keenly on their guard to preserve their liberties. It has open ed their eyes to the unscrupulous tactics, the falsehoods and hypocrisies of a cer tain irresponsible element, which had al most escaped public condemnation because of a constant pretense of morality and righteousness.'. "It is part of the prohibition propa ganda today to pretend that the American people, through their own action, have brought about the existing situation Never was there a greater falsehood. The American people never have acted upor national prohibition. They have neves been 'permitted to do so.

CLYDE HOEY MAY NOT RUN AGAIN Reported That Congressman Will Not Stand For Reelec- tion After This Term. By H. E. C. Bryant in Charlotte Ob server. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 Represen tative Clyde R. Hoey may not stand for re-election from the ninth district. . He is seriously contemplating quitting and will make an announcement within the next day or two.,. " The gubernatorial situation is said to be behind the' contemplated action of Mr. Hoey. Since the election of Mr. Hoey the Gardner boom for governor has slowed down. The situation in Mecklenburg eounty where demand for representation in Con gress was made, caused a slump in the Gardner stock. If Mr. Hoey withdraws from the race for Congress he will do so because of the Gardner eontest. The dropping out of Mr. Hoey would make s big hole in the North Carolina delegation, for he is a man of ability and fine character. His . short stay here has convinced those who have come in touch with him that he. is a fine fellow and would make an excellent congressman. But something is in the wind and it may break at any time. . : UNION PLANS FIGHT ON 1 R. REORGANIZATION BILL v .

BAINBRIDGE COLBY NEXT SECRETARY OF STATE Prominent Republican Progres sive of New York, Follower of Roosevelt, Succeeds Rob ert Lansing. (By The Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. Bain bridge Colby, of New York, who was one of the leaders in. the progressive party under Theodore Roosevelt, will succeed Robert Lansing as secretary of state. An nouncement of his selection by President Wilson was made today at the white house. The selection of Mr. Colby came as a surprise, most officials assuming that Frank L. Polk, acting secretary, would be the president's choice. The first ink ling that the president was to appoint some one outside of his official family came when Mr. Colby visited the white. house early today in company with Ray mond T. Baker, director of the mint. Mr. Colby was taken to see the presi dent on the south lawn and a few minutes later the formal announcement of his se lection was made. His nomination is ex pected to be sent to the senate within a day or two. This is not the first office Mr. Colby has held under the president's administra tion. He was appointed a member of the shipping board and the emergency fleet corporation in July, 1917, and also was a member of the American mission to the inter-allied shipping conference at Paris in the same year. He retired from the shipping board more than a year ago. Mr. Colby was a life-long republican until the famous Bull Moose bolt at the Chicago convention in 1912. He had been actively identified with the candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt for the republican nomination for president that year and was in charge of contests to seat the Roosevelt delegates in the Chicago con vention. When Colonel Roosevelt bolted the con vention, Mr. Colby helped to found the progressive party and was a delegate to its Chicago convention in 1912. He con tinued an active leader in that party and in 1914 and again in 1916 he was a prog ressive candidate for Senator from New York State. When Colonel Roosevelt -threw the weight of bis influence to Charles Evans Hughes in the 1916 presidential race, Mr. Colby identified himself with the demo cratic party. Mr. Colby was born at St. Louis 51 years ago and graduated from Williams College. Massachusetts. He spent one year at the Columbia law school and has practiced law in New York since 1892. He was a member of the New York as sembly in 1901-1902. After Mr. Colby has taken office, Mr. Polk, who has been secretary ad interim since the resignation of Mr. Lansing nearly two weeks ago, is expected to car ry out his intention of retiring from the state department. Mr. Polk's health has not' been at all good for more than a year and his physicians have advised him to take a long rest. Should Mr. Polk retire, two important posts in the state department would be left vacant, that of undersecretary, to which Mr. Polk was advanced some months ago, and of assistant secretary. The tatter place was held by William Phillips, the newly appointed minister to The Netherlands and Luxemburg. TREATY VOTE WILL COME WITHIN TWO WEEKS (By The Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. A vote within the next two weeks on ratification of the treaty of Versailles is contemplated by senate leaders. Pressing legislation displaced the treaty on the floor today, but it will be called up tomorrow by Senator Lodge, who will ask that it remain the business of the senate until acted upon. No opposition to this course is expected, though there is an element of doubt as to where the vote can be reached, in wew of the de mand of irreconcilable opponents for am ple discussion. How the democrats will line up on the reservations adopted at, the last session of congress, which it was proposed to modify, is the question of chief interest in the renewal of the . long-drawn out fight. Despite republican claims of a de fection of twenty two of the minority, the democratic leader, Senator Hitchcock decided not to call a caucus at present, be cause he thought it "inadvisable," Sev eral democrats who want to end the long drawn out controversy by taking the re publican reservations as they, stand, put forward the proposal HJv Associated Prm. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 Cousidera-, tion of President Wilson's proposal for settlement of railroad employes' wage demands by an impartial tribunal was sidetracked today by nnion officers to give the right of way to s finish fight on the recently passed railroad reorgani zation bill. Request for a veto of the measure will -be presented to President Wilson, prob ably tonight, in the form of a memorial, setting forth organized labor's objee- ' tions to the arbitration features of the bill, especially, and tq the financial clauses. Failing to gain a veto, the unions plan to attack the constitutional ity of the law.' . . Decision to carry the fight to the white ' house was taken suddenly at a meeting to consider the President's proposal, but the latter did not get much considera tion, because general committeemen re presented that their membership was res' tive .under what they termed ."legisla tive attacks" on union labor and would not be satisfied unless the bill was fought to the last ditch. When it was decided ' to ask for executive disapproval of the measure, many of the delegates made sr- ' rangements to return home immediately, leaving the wage controversy negotiations unfinished. ' The unions still have to decide also whether they will join in selection of ex perts to gather data for consideration by the wage commission created by the rail road bill. As they have expressed un alterable opposition to such s council of arbitration, in which the public would be represented as well as railroad and em ployes, some of their officers have ob jected to participating in choosing the board for fear it would be taken as ac ceptance of the provisions they deem ob noxious.
