HARDING ASKS
DRY NATION
Will Call a Conference of
Governors to Outline
Enforcement Plan
LIQUOR MAY BE
ISSUE IN 1924

/ WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. o.
President Harding will start a ma
tionwide campaign for better en-
forcement OF the prohibition act.
His first step will be a conference
with the Governors of the States.
At the conference he will produce
facts collected by the Treasury De-
partment to show that II the States
do no cooperate in this important
work and almost impossible task the
the dry laws will die upon the stat
ute books.
After informing the Governors Of
the exact situation Mr.. Harding will
make an appeal for a united front
TO combat the moonshiner. smuggler
and bootlegger.
Yesterday, after the President had
addressed Congress, there was much
ST regulation on just what the Admin
istration would so TO help enforce
ment. Members were disposed 10
point out discrepancies in the state
ments OF the President and those of
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes.
W AAAAH AAAN ANcHlhrIl eNhA -Feta NhD
House and Senate, Mr., Haynes was
in the South telling how successful
had been his battle against the Illicit
liquor makers and sellers.
There is belief among Democrats
that the President and his party as
socistes will make prohibition en-
forcement an issue IN 1924 and over
every other question. Repre-
sentative Stevenson CDsm.. S. c.,
said it was plain the President was
going to arouse the whole country
on the prohibition question and TASK
for another Republican Administra-
tion 10 make the law effective"
The Governors will be told the
truth about conditions throughout
the nation. Secretary Mellon, who
has felt all along that the enforce
ment OF prohibition was failure,
has gathered tho facts.
During the consideration OF the
Amendment, dry mem
bers of Congress diss greed on the
wisdom Of giving 10 the States con-
current responsibility with the Fed
eral Government for the enforce
nent OF the national prohibition
laws. Giving TO the Staes concur
-ent authority. according TO Presi- !
lent Harding, has caused "a certain
ack Of definiteness through division
If responsibility" He will talk to
and with the governors about this
