COOUDGE VISITS
LEGIONNAIRES AT
OMAHA CONVENTION
Omaha, Oct. 6.—The special train
bearing Fremden. Coolidge departed
! Tuesday night, for its return trip to
Washington. The president spent the
day here attending the American
Legion convention. He addressed the
legionnaires at the convention audi
torium in the morning and reviewed
the legion parade in the afternoon.
Arriving here at 8:80 a. m. after a
1300-mile journey from Washington,
the president found the city swarming
with former service men and the
weather as disagreeable as it freq
uently was in France.
A cold driving rain reckoned to put
a damper upon the day's activities as
the sky was so overcast that there
was slight prospect of a let-up in the
down-pour.

greeted at Union station by

In coming to Omaha to address the
Legion, Mr. Coolidge traveled farther
from Washington than at any time
since entering the White house, and
through sections of the country he
had not visited as chief executive. He
is the first president to honor the

convention, although as vice preai

PRINCESS MONTANA

EVENTS AT TULSA
Arriving in Tulsa Tuesday morn

states, who subsequently followed,
Miss Ramona Berta, Montana's prin

occupied second place in the proces
sion of candidates for Queen Petrolia
the following day, which is described
as an event of great beauty.
According to dispatches from the
Exposition city, each day since the
opening of the Petroleum Show has
been crowded with social entertain
ment from breakfast and luncheons in
honor of the royal visitors to recep
tions, teas and balls in the evening.
At all of these functions, Princess
Montana has been well received by the
throng of visitors to the show. So

Three questions were asked in a
face to face inquiry throughout tho
country with 233,683 men and women
in American homes. They were;
No, 1 Are you satisfied with (Pro
hibition) conditions us they arc?
No, 2 Is the law enforced in your
locality
No. 3 If not, do you consider tho
law enforceable?
Of the 203,583 asked these questions
by 1,000 bonded representative» oper

68.0% say NO they are not satis

say NO—the law is not en

Ofi.0'3 say YES—they consider tho

So while "Booze— i» the Victor," as
Collier's proclaims, there 1» a majority
which believes that the prohibition law
can be enforced.

Studying the table of votfa in the
big cities it would seem that we are
expecting too much; because Washing
ton, wherefrom Is to come our re
lief, is shown to be America's wettest
city.
82.2% say no—they are not satis
isfled; 81.1% say, no the law is not
enforced; 68'// say NO--the low ean
not be enforced—in Washington.
These votes are made more impres
sive when compared to Denver, Col.,
which shows up in this poll as being
the dryest city in America. Only 36%
out in Denver are dissatisfied with
present conditions, 81% say the law is
not enforced there; and only the very
small number 17.9% think that the
law is not enforceable.
The vote does show, that the driest
states are those which had state-wide
prohibition many years before Fed
eral prohibition went into effect, Jan.
16, 1920. There are 34 such states.
Kansas, Colorado and Maine now lead
as the driest. In the case of Maine,
the vote is surprising, because every
other Atlantic seaboard state Is among

j vote,
it is obvious from the results of

America is still wet; * *
This newspaper wishes to point out
—that so long as 60.9% of the people

enforced that it can and will be done.

We admit, that If the Collier poll is
at all accurate, there "still is much
work for the plumber."
The tables of votes in cities amf
