Mr. Roebuck, chairman, declared that any course other than an adâ€" vocacy of prohibition in accordance with the "expressed will of the people" savored of the tactics of Mussolini. "You needn‘t expect to get any| share of the wet vote, because How-} ard Ferguson has it locked up in a box right now," declared Dr. Coyne. Compromise was suggested by Mr. Roebuck after Mr. Drury had asserted his personal adherence to a policy of absohite prohibition, and his readiness to fight for it should he ever be returned to office. "The principle of phohibition is safe, if the Legislature cannot tinker with it," he said. "Personally, 1 I would pledge Dr. Coyne that evey time there is a fight on prohibition I will be there to give him the lead. Our only course is to restore the O.T.T. to the place in which the people put itâ€"outside of the Legisâ€" lature." Would Investigate "Legais."
