It is to be remarked that Mr. Hoov-j er made absolutely no reference to prohibition in the speech, an ii^ica- jtion that the wet and dry issue is not likely to be given much im3>ortance by Ithe campaigners next year. Both par ities look upon prohibition as a dan-} gerous subject, certain to alienate} many voters no matter what deciaion is reached. At. a consequence the com ing campaign is expected to sidestep that subject, just as the president omitted it in his talk to the Indiana editors.
