WHAT is WARREN'S REAL STAND?
The Question Is Asked, and Logically
Answered.

Answered..
To The State:
The further along we get in political life the more
difficult it seems to get candidates for public olce TO
say exactly where they stand given ISSUE and II
perchance at one time definite statement has been
made may confidently be expected that conslderaDe
trimming will be done before the opening OF the
polls. In national affairs Mr.. Harding is exhloltng
this well nigh universal trait to such degree that IS
necessary for Mr. Cox to read the last EDITION OF each
days papers to find out what shift of position the
Republican candidate is takng-Whether or not 1T ne IS
ites seek in the end to obtain the votes OF the ao
vocates of the League Of Nations.
In our own state we are not without the cond'
tion People are expected to be satisfied with candl-
dates position the enforcement of the LIQUOR laws
by vague expressions States Rights lhe press
dispatches of March goth which received publication
in the issues of Sunday, March 21 contained definite
statement from Mr.. Warren as follows:
"Another important plank in my platform is
that I look with displeasure upon the Vostead
act. I regard that enforcement measure as
thing for repeal"
The language is plain and needs no explanation; IN
simple words Mr.. Warren says that the federal Whis-
key enforcement act should be repealed Today l
note he is giving his for his position that ne
is student of government with profound know
lege Of the doctrines of Calhoun and that ne ad-
vocatng the making of wine Gin the home for home
use for the sacrament and for Sickness and this for
the benefit of ''the good women Of this state"
I imagine the good women are rot much exercised
the ministers making demand account of the
sacrament and that the sick we'll taken care
of by physicians who have made violent protests
against taking away this great destroyer of disease
On the other hand those who nvelgh against the en-
forcement act the old ones who ready to
take up any cry in order to becoud the issue and keep
"demon rum" above water
Now as to the facts of the matter In the first place,
if Mr. Warren is real student of government and has
read the federal act he must know that under the terms
of that act any state where the laws of that state
permit upon the prescription Of physician, for me-
dicna purposes, obtain liquors to the amount
of one pint every ten days-that is four aatt half
gallons year. The amount is certainly sufficient to
take of ordinary sick man unless his disease
be that of abnormal craving for Whlskey.
What is the Warrens quarrel not with the
federal legislature. By the exercise of
Estates Rights" Carolina recede from it's position
the whskey question and take care OF the thirsty Mr. war
men ought be in favor of an act OF congress to enforce
He sure the Eighteenth amendment to be mock
statement, of beazng enforce
ent so whky be had and the constitutional pro-
vision made less effective
Now as to estate Rights generally. Article of the const
tuition provides be made when ratified
of the legislatures Of the several states NO one
questions the meaning of that article Very we'll then the ok
bv the this controlled entirely by white Dem
ocra after representatives and the
state the submission of those amendments to the sew
Mr. Warren he not opposed to the Elghteetn
amendment Where then he contend voatve OF our
state voIed
for conflict with interests of this state
No. simple fact is that It mockey of the doctrine OF
Calhoun attempt conceal in the real ssuean issue that
the Eighteenth amendment with the of this state
ed prohibiting and sale of Intoxicating liquors
for beverage PURPOSES and iederal act was pass hs "
effective against the illicit tri Hw N VD okDER
