PRESIDENT WILSON
ON LIQUOR QUESTION
kcnIfirms Position on Liiuor Question
as Outlined In Previous Letters,

Louisville, Ky, May 1s.-A letter
from PRESIDENT Wilson was made
pubic here today reanirming his posi-
tom on the liquor question and am
plilylng two previous letters ON the
subject known as the Shannon and
Efosan letters which were written
when Mr.. Wilson was governor of
New Jersey.
The Shannon letter advocated To-
'ai option as means of settling IL
quor issues. 1t said that liquor issues
injected into State or national notifies
brought disruption and rendered con-
structlVe legislation impossible.
The Grogan letter has been con-
strncted in Kentucky to mean the
writer favored Statewide prohibition.
IN view Of the widely divergent in
terpretations placed upon the two
letters, w. B. Haldeman, editor OF
the Louisville Times, wrote the pres
tdent, reciting that:
Statewide prohibition has been
made an issue by two of the candi-
dates for the Democratic guberna
torial nomination in Kentucky and
IN that connection the socalled
Grogan letter is being used to imply
that You approve of this principle in
certain circumstances, which arc do
clared to fit the present Kentucky
political situation. On the other hand.
the socallcd Shannon letter is being
used IN an effort to prove that YOU
stand for local elf-government as a
principle for Democrats 10 observe
IF you feel that the situation war
rants Mr.. Haldeman's letter said in
conclusion, 81 should be pleased to
have statement of present date from
you as to your general attitude to-
wards the question presented by these
letters Such a statement would do
much to clarity our local situation
and do much to emphasize what YOU
obviously intended by the Shannon
letter.
Il have your letter Of May s." the
presidents letter. made public today,
says, 'and must apologize for not hav-
ing replied sooner. I am sure that
you Will understand the pressure
nave been under. Tho reply to your
letter is very simple. My socallcd
Shannon letter precisely defines my
position with regard to the liquor
issue, not only as it was when I wrote
the letter, but as 1t is now, and the
letter to MI Grogan is, or was, at
any rate, intended to be entirely con
sistent with it. What intended to
say to Mr.. Grogan, and think that |
said with sufficient clearness, was
that while tho position had taken
