Prohibition to figure in House and Senate races
In the 1920s race the Prohibition issue is becoming a factor in senatorial and congressional contests. The Anti-Saloon League claims 28 wets in the Senate and argues 11 more could swing wet if a majority appeared for Volstead law modification. In the House, 126 wets are cited with at least 70 more voting dry but could switch if effective. The league aims to back candidates favoring modification regardless of party.
