The Presidents statement was
called out by the fact that some
Tennessee Democrats, including
Senator Shields, believe the re-
cent prohibition law enacted in
that state makes the fusion of In
dependent Democrats and Repub-
licans which twice elected Gov.
Hooper, Republican, no longer
necessary.
The prohibition issue divided
the party, and it is understood
some Democrats believe Gov.
Hooper should be supported for a
third term, that even more drastic
laws may be passed.
The president sides with those
who believe the issue to have
been closed with the passage of
the present law.
