Nv THOMAS l.. RAYMOND

Forceful reasons why prohibition is
a most important issue in the present
campaign are given in a letter writ
ten by City Commissioner Thomas l..
Raymond, anti-prohibition candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Governor, to Edwin G.. Adams, former
referee in bankruptcy and chairman
of the executive committee or the
Raymond Lawyers Republican club or
New Jersey
Mr.. Raymond declares unreservedly
other aspirants for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination, prohibition
Is very much of an issue. and proceeds
to set forth in detail a construction
of the question in support of his at
tftude. The letter to Mr.. Adams fol-
lows:
Complying with your request to de-
fine specifically the points on which l
base my claim that prohibition is an
issue of this campaign. l have given
careful consideration to the legal as
poets and the practical application OF
the questions involved: My conclusion
directly controverts the in~sistance of

~ernatorial election and that the ques-
ton is not an issue in the coming CUB
tion is settled"
This proposition is so astounding to
me that 1 feel the voters should have
an opportunity of knowing the argu-
ment against 1t. The first section OF
the so-called XVIII. amendment pro-
yides that After one year from the
ratification of this article the manu-

If Congress should pass an enforcs

most recent legislation always con"
trolls. Legislation upon a subject Is
often implicitly repealed by SUBSEQUENT
legislation on the same subject. but in
consistent with the earlier. without an
express repeater.
Therefore, 1 claim that New Jersey
may modify or implicitly repeal an

state. In claiming this / am not as
serting state rights. or ~flouting the
Constitution or the laws of Congress,
nor am 1 counseling lawlessness, | am
standing sqyarely and loyalty by the
power vested in the state by the XVIII
amendment ~so-ca1led.
Suppose moreover, Congress shall
not exercise the power to enforce. 1t
Is merely given power. Would not the
state then, if it should exercise the
power, provide the only method of en-,
forcement? 1t would certainly AFFORD

Congress has afforded us an example
of this in its failure to secure, TO tIe

and XIV amendments, which have been
ignored and even flouted by many
Southern states. The power to enforce
in these cases has simply not oeen

territories subject to the jurisdiction
thereof. for beverage purposes is here
by prohibited"
This section is merely declaratory
of a policy and it's only force is to be
found in the second section, which
reads as follows:
states shall have concurrent power to
enforce this article by appropriate leg
islation." This language is entirely
novel to the Constitution
The XIII and NV amendments, the
first of which forbids slavery. and the
second of which provides that the right
of citizens to vote shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States or by
any state on account of race. color or
previous condition Of servitude, each
contain, clauses as follows: 'The Con-
gress shall have power to enforce this
article by appropriate legislation and
the XIV. amendent contains a similar
clause.
l admit. of course. that the reason
able way to enforce an amendment to
the Federal Constitution is by the Fed
eral Congress. We are not, however,
considering reasonable or desirable
methods or those that strike use us as
the right ones; we are dealing with
definite words, appearing for the first
time in the organic law of the land, and
by these words exactly the same pow, :
called concurrent power-is given to
the states. as to Congress.
The words must have a meaning
dlfferent from the words of the enfofc-
ing clauses of the XIII, XIV and XIV
amendments, and that difference must
be that it is intended to give the states
power equal to Congress.
III the states have any power to en-
force the amendments by legislation,
then 1 cannot see how the exercise of
such power by the Legislature and the
Governor, boil of whom make 'legis-
lation" for the state. can be said not
to be an issue in any legislative or
g~ubernatorial election to be held as
long as the amendment stands.
