System of Espionage Is
Urged by Gam TO lid

Enforcement of the national pro.
hibition law through a system Of
espionage in which neighbor will
watch neighbor is staunchly advo-
tor of prohibition enforcement for
the gulf division, which includes
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana. Mr.. CAN'T also
advocates the same plan in the sup
preston of the sale of narcotics.
Director CAN'T believes 1t is the
patriotic duty Of every law abiding
his neighbors toward the illegal safe
of liquors. The manufacture and
sale of alcoholic liquors is unlawful
except for medicinal and sacramen-
tai purposes under drastic regula-
tions, and Mr.. CAN'T asserts that
prohibition law will eventually lead
to complete disrespect of any law
and to social anarchy.
Recounting the difficulties met In
the enforcemert of prohibition in
Georgia, the fec al director deplores

impression that the laws can be
violated with impunity.

violations of the prohibition law re-

light fines, it was said, were i'm
posed because the defendants had
previously been convicted and pun
ished by the state courts for the
same offense.
Director CAN'T took an opposite
view, asserting that despite state
prosecution, the federal government
has a concurrent right to prosecute
and should do so. He also urges
that when defendants are found
guilty in federal court, heavy fines
and Imprisonment should follow.
The news of $40 fines in federal
court spread throughout the state"
said Mr.. CAN'T, land did the prohi-
bition enforcement forces great
harm. In the mountain districts the
logic of double prosecutions is un-
known and the only fact apparent
to the law violators was $40 fine
on a plea of guilty! This placed
the prohibition law and the courts
in contempt with these men, and
they piled their Illegal traffic with

Nominal Bonds Criticized
Besides the leniency of the courts,

OF all the high velocity guns among

candidate seems to have the greatest
penetration.
Following are some excerpts from

"A man that will pose as a dry
man, and is supported by the vets is
not At to be trusted in any office"
NO man can get very far in violat-
ing the dry law without the assist
ance of some official sworn to enforce
the law"
There were thirteen distillers
within whistling distance Of my home
in Kentucky. and I can trail a boot
logger like a hound can trail a coon. a"
Mr.. Davis is known as q man who
has the nerve, the ability and the in
clination to enforce all the laws
and the dry law in particular will not
be wiked at If he is elected sheriff.
