METHODISTS WANT EFFICIENT
 ENFORCEMENT CODE

W. s. MacIntire, of Willimantlc, pres ident of the Temperance society. of the New England Southern Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. has issued the following open letter to Senators Frank B. Brandegee and George P. Mclean:
 I am quite sure that you want to represent your constituency in your action on the bill now pending in the senate providing for the enforcement of war and constitutional prohibition of the beverage liquor traffic.
 I am in position to know the sen timent of the churches of the state on this subject and am sure that they want efficient enforcement code. The vote in the general assembly on the question of ratification of the amendment bears an important rela to mt othe solution of the problem. The ma iority vote in the house for ratification reflects the sentiment of the state. The small majority against the ratification in the senate arouses a suspicion that a small number of than patriotic motives.
 The promoters of vice of every sort for commercial purposes want you to make if as easy for them as possible by liberal enforcement code. The promoters of virtue and the best cit- izenship want an efficient enforce ment law. and will watch with interest your action in this alter and when the time comes for the election of your successors will act accordingly
