...always been a Dry and I don't switch on things." Because Illinois Democrats had nominated James Hamilton Lewis, a thoroughgoing Wet for the Senate and had declared for the repeal of the 18th Amendment, a clean-cut Wet-&-Dry contest between Nominees McCormick and Lewis was in prospect...
Last week, however, that prospect was materially altered when Illinois Republicans held their State convention at Springfield. A Prohibition referendum goes on the Illinois ballot this November, due to the 400,000 petition signatures obtained by Chairman Bernard Snow of the Cook County Republican Committee and his Wet friends. Voters are asked three questions: 1) Shall the 18th Amendment be repealed? 2) Shall the Volstead Act be modified? 3) Shall the State Dry law be repealed?

The war scattered gasoline prices on the Pacific Coast over a range of from 9? to 19½? per gallon. It caused gasoline to be sold last week in San Francisco for 7?, in Los Angeles for 6?, in Tacoma for 8?, and in Seattle for nothing-an enthusiastic dealer giving away five gallons of gas to every motorist who had his oil changed...
