Local Democrats
 Greatly Pleased

The CordeI1 Hull dinner was huge success bein~ attended by several hundred of the leading Democrats of the state. Many local Democrats. who attended. were greatly pleased with the results of the get-together dinner and the general feeling this morning is that the party has been more firmly cemented as the result of the gathering.
 While talk was in evidence concern ing the placing of this one and that one on the ticket and what might occur it was purely a matter of con- lecture looking at the party from the viewpoint of one of the local Demo- crats who attended the reception ac- corded the National Chairman
 Nothing of a permanent nature in the way of an understanding as to exactly ''who is who," was brought forth at the dinner. While the names of FitzGerald, Spellacy, Loner- fan and Cummings were mentioned during the days events as standing out for placement on the ticket. it still remains that dark horses may be entered 3n the flnal~race when the meetings of the state Committee mean something.
 Upstate politicians were heard to throw out pr0phesies in behalf of their champions, but 1t is generally con- ceded that the southern part of the state will be the pinch in the com ing election and as yet there remains '.another county to be heard from"

"We Must Have A
 Return to Honestly" Hull

There never was a, greater need for return to political honesty in this country in the light of the re- cent record of reactionary Republf- can leaders, and the people should join with Democrats in stamping out political perhdy, insincerlty and double dealing as lately prac- ticed by them.
 "I predict that the voters will never repudiate the war ideal and sacred cause for which our gallant boys fought, nor the fundamentals of the postwar policieS-national and fnternational-of the Demo cratic administration. Already the new administration is Sheepishly and shame-facedly taking ha1ting steps to assume those international responsibilities which, to our great economic injury, we have been Shirking.

PLOT AGAINSTLAW
Vets in Kansas Try to Make
Statute Unpopular.
MOtter Throws Internal Rev
cnue Forces Into Fight.

Wichita, Kan, Feb. S.-A new force
has entered the field for law enforce
ment in Kansas. H. Fl. Motter, in
ternal revenue collector for the state,
has thrown the full force of his pow
erful department behind George
Wark prohibition enforcement dr.
rector for Kansas, and has called the
lawabiding citizens of the state to the
colors in defense of the prohibitory
law.
There is a persistent and organ
lied effort apparently" Mr.. Motter
said, ito make the prohibitory law
unpopular and obnoxious. There is
more need now in Kansas for the de-
cent lawabiding people of the state to
arouse themselves. and to demand ac-
tivity on the part of their officials,
county and city, and to uphold the
state officers and federal officers in
the enforcement of the prohibitory
law than ever before in the history
of prohibition in the state.
But it is not here alone" Mr.. Mot
ter added. "All Kansas is losing its
grip on law and order. I tell you
there is a determined effort to make
this law obnoxious and unpopular,
and it is manifest in practically every
county in the state
Motter is not stopping at Wichita.
He had his deputies in last week and
read them the law. He told them that
the attitude of the department would
not be passive. It would be aggres-
sive. and that the deputy who neglects
to give information of law violations
in his territory, and push the war
against joints, will not hold his job
under the present administration.
One trouble heretofore has been
that internal revenue collectors would
compromise with offenders on the
payment of a small penalty. If a man
was arrested for selling booze or for
manufacturing it, he would employ
lawyer to appear before the depart
ment and compromise the case for
$50, or some small amount.
In two months Motter has collected
in taxes and penalties against booze
offenders enough money to pay the
entire expense of the prohibition di-
rector's force.
George Wark should have forty
more assistants" Mr.. Motter said.
and his department still would be
self-sustaining
