"A.
OF Missouri, congratulating him and
the country on the selection of the
Ohio executive as the party's candi-
date
Senator Reed said:
Il send my Sincerest and heartiest
congratulations to you upon your
great victory against what seemed to
be overwhelming odds. 1 congratu-
late the country, because I am firmly
convinced that you will always main
tain and defend our nation, and will
never consent to surrender any part
of its sovereignty or the abandon
ment of those great international poll
cles of the fathers, under which we
have achieved unexampled greatness
and power"
The governor also has received a
Anti-Saloon League leader in Ala
bama, asking him for a strong state
ment opposing any effort of Congress
to modify the Volstead act to permit
a greater alcoholic content in liquors
The governor stated that he would
answer the Hobson telegram in due
time 49,
The Hobson telegram follows:
Dry forces are restive. Republicans
amongst them are applying to Hard
ing for strong statement. Do not let
these forces have cause to crystallize
the highest republican, candidates.
Democratic convention declared near
ly two to one against plank fayoring
even home manufacture of mildest
alcoholic beverages"
Jealous of Integrity.
"Ninety-five per cent of populat ton
of America live in states that have
ratified eighteenth amendment with
out reservation. They are jealous of
it's integrity. Supreme Court in unani-
nous decision warned Congress
against authorizing increase in alco-
hol1c content. National officers of
Anu-Saloon League here have asked
cite that Harding voted for VoIstead
act. Could you give me clear state
ment or your being opposed to federal
authorization of increasing alcoholic
content! This would save to democ-
racy millions of voters who hold this
question above party success"
