Racketeers Begin Fight Against Legal Breweries
By the United Press
Competition of 3.2 Per Cent Beer Decreases Sales of Speakeasies
Gangdom made its first bid for control of legal beer today. With the 3.2 per cent beverage only a day and a half, old violence showed itself in the bombing of a Chicago brewery. Beer barons, it was learned, had been buying into several small breweries around New York.
Major brewers in New York said they would take every possible precaution against the intrusion of racketeers. Racketeer control might create sentiment against repeal of the Eighteenth amendment.
A notable effect of the first 36 hours of legal beer was the diminishing of trade in speakeasies. Hard liquor at bootleggers pledged went burgers for buyers. New York police reported only a few days later as compared with a daily average of 10. None had been drinking beer. Dr. George F. Saffard, Illinois Anti-Saloon league superintendent, said he saw more indications of drunkenness than at any time since the last quarter. He estimated that more than 190,000 barrels of beer were consumed in the nation yesterday.

Party Men Agree to Drop Protest of Election Votes
Oread - Kayhawk Representatives Issue Statement Asking New Election System
After an investigation of the election returns which were conceived by the Oread-Kaykhap port, please CALLAH, c.33, and Harold HARDING T3, reported yesterday that the election was as fair and impartial as it could be until the present method of voting and that the protest would not be continued.
The committee decided to allow the leaders of the Oread-Kayahk party to vote against the rest and state the reason for the protest. An a result of the decision of the contesting party to withdraw the protest, the party will not be held.
The members of the election board that handled the ballots in the box in question, met with Harold Denton, c33, Calahan, Harding, and Kirk Kleo, narytary public, Friday afternoon. Statements were made by the election board members that as far as they knew, no honest election had been conducted.
The statement made by those representing the Oread-Kayhawk party is as follows:
"Yesterday afternoon, we went before the committee and requested and were given a 48-hour continuance to conduct a fair and impartial investigation on the election returns. We applied to the committee that there were certain circumstances that made it necessary for us to conduct the investigation not only in the interests of the men on our ticket but in the interests of a clean and fair election. The investigation was made and every courtesy extended by the opposing party in our efforts to search out the reasons why the vote was not able to say that the election was as fair and impartial as it could be under the present scheme of voting.
"However, we are of the opinion that the present system of voting in the University is defaunting its own purpose and making unintelligible practices by all parties. Swearing aside all criticism of the election which has just closed, we want to recommend a joint committee composed of an equal number of representatives pointed to work apart form the council and report to the council with the view in mind of changing the voting procedure on the campus. We feel that all students should be involved in any method of voting that will guarantee to every vetan an election above suspicion and criticism. It was in this spirit of service to the University that we conducted our investigation and now make this recommendation."
