M'ADOO OPPOSES
ANY CHANGES IN
VOLSTEAD LAW

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-1n view, OF
the fact that William G. McAdoo has
arranged with the Democratic ma
tional committee to make an extern
sive stumping tour on behalf OIL
Governor Cox, unusual interest vas
aroused in political circles here to-
day by a statement issued by the
former secretary of the treasury IN
which he vigorously opposes any
modification of the Volstead act.
Characterizing any attempt 70
modify the act in favor of beer and
light wines as an effort to nullify the
prohibition amendment, Mr.. McAdoo
said:
ITO permit the sale of light wines
and beer is to open crack In the
door of prevention, and once the
crack is open the door is wide. The
door is wide. 1t would be impossible
to prevent the gravest abuses. The
breweries and the winers know this.
Prohibition would be a dead letter
once beer and light wine bill Is
passed.
Every man and woman voter who
put the welfare of children and
humanity above the mere gratitica-
ton of harmful appetites should see
to it that the next congress does NOT
restore the breweries and wineries
to political power and re-establish
