Commissioner Pleased with Support
Received In Jersey and Delaware
Washington, Oct. -. --. Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes is well satisfied
with the co operation received from the
press and public authorities in New
Jersey and Delaware in connection with
the enforcement OF the Nolstead act in
those States. Concerning New Jersey,
he snys:
"As to the attitude Of the press, the
New Jersey papers are quite Outspokcn
in upholding the Eighteenth Amendment
making their primary stand on the ne
Cessity of upholding the Constitution.
lie comments as follows on Della
ware
Il have personally interviewed the
Attorney General Of this State and tho
Deputy Attorney General for each
county in the State m reference 10 90
operating with this Office in the en-.
forcemcnt of the prohibition laws and
they all express their willingness and
desire to give every assistance posi-
Bile. The press. which, until recently.
has bCcu assuming neutral attitude,
seems now 20 be coming out rather
strong for the enforcement of oil laws,
which is indeed gratifying TO me.
"Prrsonally, feel that when we once
convince the public and the violators
that the Government is behind this
movement, and that it really intends
that tho prohibition law shall be re
spccted and enforced the same as any
other law, we will have overcome one
OF our most serious difficulties.
