GOVERNORS PLEDGE
 COOLIDGE SUPPORT
,csaa.u.s from rra Page,

ls~rshidins and fesiFeus of the sa. forcsmeHt ef law
 The national government alone has control af the manufacture of inieKi- casts and hss very special nbliEar tien to perform in prohibiting the ims peFtatien into this country Of wines and spiFltous liquors contrary 10 the laws of the United States The in- diyidusl states are powerless ta act in these respects. therefore. the national government should exercise its full power and authority in dealing with these questions.
 We believe that the chief sxseu. tive Of every state should he xesleus in the enfereepent Of the prohibition law and should urge upon every state official a strict observance and sn- foreemsnt of the same.
 We believe that the state and fed- erai officers should cooperate fully in preventing the violation Of our pro- hibition law snd in making sffsctiys the will Of our people in regard to its enforcement. New conditions i'm. pose new responsibilities. People who violate one law will the more readily be guilty of violating other laws.
 Therefore. the individual states should share with the federal govern ment the duty and responsibility Of enforcing the 18th amendment.
 We pledge you. as governors. our fullest cooperation and effort"
