Millerand Favored
for President of
French Republic

Paris, Sept. 16-Deputies returning
to Paris have been informed through
the newspapers of the presidential
crisis, although no Official invitation
for consideration of the matter has
yet been sent out by NJ. Peret. pres
ident Of the Chamber.
Animated discussions have taken
place in the Hobbies. The name Mil
lerand is uppermost despite the
premier's emphatic statement that he
would not accept the presidency, he
even mentioning NJ. Jonnart as a
candidate whom he would ask his
followers to elect
1t is considered that Minerand will
have a hard fight to avoid non,ina :
ton. Committees have been formed
for the purpose of formally informing
the premier that he has been chosen
as the country's candidate. In these
committees all parties except the
unified Socialists have joined. The
argument is being advanced that M.
Millerand would be rendering France
great service by accepting the post
of president, and assurances womb
be given him that if he accepts all
other candidates will withdraw.

Kramer Says Dry
Enforcement Job
Proving Big One

Washington, Sept. 16-Declaratlon
was made today by Prohibition Com
sisstoner Kramer that dry law en-
forcement machinery is Inadequate
Coupled with this was a statement by
the Anti Saloon League that the Ma
ton is confronted by gigantic con-
spiracy to discredit and ultimately
overthrow prohibition"
Mr.. Kramer in making his declara-
ton in an address before the Anti
Saloon League conference here added
that In numerous communities prohi-
bition cases were being dragged into
Federal courts at a rate of 10 to 70
a week. The result, he said. Is JAM
med court dockets and delay in the
trial of dry law violators.
The Anti Saloon League made its
conspiracy charge in a resolution
which served notice that 1t would at
tempt removal of public officials dere-
lict in prohibition enforcement. At
thes anne time, officials ORTIZ League
made public partial list Of candi-
dates for Congress whom it will seek
to defeat because Of their position on
prohibition.
Commissioner Kramer frankly told
the conference that his agency in ad-
dition to being confronted with a
shortage of personnel had within it
men who were not straight" 1t
would have been a miracle" he add
ed, if there had not been some men
who had proved unfaithful to the oath
inasmuch ~as the dry enforcement
corps had been built up in about six
months.
The resolution adopted by the con-
ference also called upon Congress to
adopt some standard for good be-
havior" by defining misconduct" for
which appointees such as federal
judges might be removed from Office.
The present laws make impeachment
difficult and impractical. the resolution
said, and Congress was urged to pro-
vide methods by which those who
wink at violation of law may be
dealt with summarily.
The league in IT'S campaign for a
continued dry majority in Congress
will support Senator Watson, Repub-
lican, against Thomas Taggart. DEM

test. and Frank B. Willis. Republican,

for the league, told the conference
that dry workers would not know def
nitely the names of all candidate on

primaries have been held. He explain
ed the league would enter no local fight
except where records Of the candidates
show the prohibition question to be an
issue.
Commissioner Kramer suggested the
organization of local committees "of
hundred or more" to build pa SEN
timent for observance of the prohibi-
ton law.
