" Washington, D. :C Nov. 14. Is there any hope for beer end light wines? Did last' week's election help the "wets" or the "drys" and when can the next move on either side be expected and what- will come of it? ..' ' ' These questions have been asked a thousand times since the two national organizations fighting for an opposed to prohibition began their series of conflicting claims. The truth lies between the two as usual. Each side can present convincing figures to show that congress is still dry or will- be wet s tbe case may be. But wnen one finds each side claiming some of the same men as being wet and dry and when the doubtful or non voting group is examined and when some of the wavering ones are can vassed, the conclusion is inescap able that nothing is definite till the roll is called and' titat the prohi bition issue will be decided in the next congress by an opportunist bloc which will wait to see which way me cat jumps. .
