che necessity Of q state enforcement
act. This js peculiarly the kind Of a
law that can be enforced effectively
only by local peace officers.
II have thought it was unfortunate
to have two laws on the same subject
enforced by two different sets Of Of
ficials through two different courts in
the same territorial jurisdiction, but
above all else I deprecate the breaking
down OF state power by the presence on
every hand Of Federal officers to en-
force o law which can be best enforced d
by the local peace officers.
State Enforcement Necessary
"The way to avoid the necessity for
that is to have state enforcement, and
the dagrant violations of the law now
tolerated show the necessity of state
enforcement. This does not mean the
creation Of new department. There
are plenty Of officials now to enforce
a proper law the same as other laws
are enforced.

forcement act to conform with the act

Judge Nathan L. Miller, Republican
candidate for Governor, at q meeting
yesterday afternoon Of the county
chairmen Of Eastern New York, at the
National Republican Club, declared
himself strongly in favor Of a state
enforcement act Of the prohibition
amendment. He said that if he were
elected Governor he would sign such
an act and would use the power Of his
office to see that it was enforced. He
said that prosecuting officers and peace
officers charged with the duty to en-
force the law are subject to removal
for not enforcing it.
Judge Miller read a letter he had
received from a member Of the Bing-
hamton Woman's Christian Temperance
Union September "a. and his answer
of that date, in which he said that he
believed the Legislature would enact
such measure, and he would sign it.
Continuing, he said:

Anderson Says Police
Wink at Dry Violations
Asks Hylan Why He Has Made
No Effort to Enforce Law
Against Sale of LiUs10r

In an open letter to Mayor Hylan
yesterday, William H. Anderson. state
superintendent Of the Anti-Saloon
League, charged that the local authori-
ties were doing practically nothing to
assist Federal officials in enforcing the
prohibition laws. He declared that
present violations could not exist in
the city without official connivance or
worse" Referring to the recent ex-
pose Of conditions in this city by a
Philadelphia newspaper, Mr.. Anderson
said it showed that 1.-THE police Of New
York are involved"
ut is we'll known that neither Tam
many nor its officiaI representatives
ever do anything without a consider
alton political, if not directly per-
sonal," wrote Mr.. Anderson. "Why do
you make no effort to enforce the state
law prohibiting the sale of liquor
Is it because you are a party to the
conspiracy to false big campaign fund
from the violators of the liquor law
to elect the Tammany wet candidate for
President? Or are you Just allowing
your friends to clean up'?"
The Mayor directed David Hirshfield,
Commissioner of Accounts, to invite Mr..
Anderson to appear before the Com
missioner and state under oath what
ever facts he may have in regard to
violations of the law. If Mr.. Anderson
did not accept the invitation, the Mayor
requested Commissioner Hirshfeld to
subpoena him.
"This man Anderson. if he has any
facts the Mayor said, "knows that he
can 60 before the Federal or county
grand jury and present them, or go to
the magistrates court and make his
complaint; but inasmuch as he has not
done this and is writing letters con-
tanning scurrilous imputations, invite
him to appear at your office and pre-
sent the facts, if he has any. If he
will not accept the invitation, sub
pena him and let him tell under oath

mittee; Senator Harry S. New and
Congressman Martin B. Madden claim
ing that Of the thirty-four Senator'S to
be elected the Republicans are sure Of
fifteen, reasonably sure Of eight others,
and have fighting chance for still an
other two. Present indications, they
said, were that the Republicans would
elect twenty-three, net gain Of eight.
The present Senate stands 40 Repub-
licans and At Democrats. A net gain Of
strength 81 and the Democratic SO, or
Republican majority og 18, the state
ment showed.
Of the 435 Congressmen to be elected
the Republicans expected to make q net
gain of Is, the statement said. The
present Republican majority in the
House is 46. The Republican majority
in the next Congress would not be less
than II, they estimated.
Certain Of Election
The fifteen Republican Senatorial
candidates rated as certain of election
are in California, Connecticut, Idaho,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, New
Hampshire, New York, North Dakota,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Yer
mont and Washington.
The statement adds: "Of these
states California, Idaho and South Da-
kota are expected to elect Republican
successors to Democratic Senators. a

the Republicans have better than an
even chance:
Colorado, Kentucky, Maryland, Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma, Utah, Wisconsin and
Oregon. Of these, Colorado, Kentucky,
Maryland, Oklahoma and Oregon are
said to be set to return Republican
candidates as successors to Democrats,
making net gain of five, or a total
net gain of eight in the two groups,
which would increase the Republican
strength to fifty-seven, leaving the
Democrats thirty-nine.
"ln two states the situation is in
doubt. They are Arizona and Nevada,
where successors to Democrats are to
be elected If both these states should
be lost to the Republicans, which is not
conceded, it woud not affect the csti-
mated Republican gain of f'eight.
