''As might be expected. the prohibi-
tionists are doing their best to get him
committed to their way Of thinking.
In this they have not hesitated to en-
ploy their usual indecent policy of
precipitancy.
"If the object OF the extreme pro-
hibitionists were merely that Of law
enforcement generally, there might be
some excuse for their undue haste.
Even on that ground, however, their
rushing tactics constitute tacit con-
fession Of either the universal lack of
prohibition enforcement, or of the I'M
enforceability of the drastic provisions
of the Volstead Act, or of both, as
contrasted with the ability Of the Fed
eral and state governments to enforce
other legislation which commands the
approval and respect Of a free and
law-ablding American citizenry.
What the rabid drys are really
after, however, is to enlist the support
Of the new president in Fastening the
chains of Volsteadism irrevocably on
the necks of the American people. AS
usual, they deliberately confuse the
question of law enforcement with that
of the right of congress to modify the
terms Of application of the Eighteenth
Amendment by appropriate and en-
forceable legislation which would per-
nit the substitution Of Wholesome
beverages Of a harmless alcoholic con-
tent for the poisonous intoxicants now
illegally sold, and thus end the reign
of the bootlegger and bring back uni
versal respect for the law. =
$50 far as the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment is con-
cerned, it believes that the question
Of change in the presnt fanatical
and injurious prohibition laws is one
of the utmost Importance to the peo-
pie of the United States But it feels
that all who stand for personal lib
crty and even a semblanee of States
Rights will take the associations po-

matter on the shoulders of the new

Trying to Bring Coolidge to Their

AT GEORGE H. MANNING

q.
washington Bureau OF New Britain Herald.
Washington, d. c.. Aug. 25.--The
.precipitant activities of Governor
Pinchot Of Pennsylvania, Senator
Sheppard of Texas, and Prohibition
Commissioner Roy A. Haynes, and
other dry adherents, In attempting
to force President Coolidge into en-
dorsement of their policies almost be-
fore he was in office, are made the
subject of a vigorous attack by Cap
tain W. H. Stayton, Of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
in a statement issued here.
In scoring these activities OF the
prohibition forces, Captain Stayton
indicated that he had in mind the
pressure brought to bear on the pres.
ident, within two days after his arri-
val in Washington, for an early call OF
a conference of governors on the sub
ject of prohibition, and in which Mr..
Coolidge was reminded" Of the late
presidents intention to call such a
conference
In sharp contrast with the actiVi-
ties of the bone-dry adherents, asserts
Captain Stayton, is the decorous atti-
tude taken by the liberal elements,
who, he says, are willing to give I'M
divided encouragement and support
to the new president in his efforts to
meet the various problems of his Of
fee as they arise, and to wait until
such time as the president himself
sees fit to take up prohibition and its
for special consideration.
Recent calls by Governor Pinchot
and others on the new president have
seen definitely connected with pub
lished statements tending to show
hat the object was to have Mr.. Cool
ldge lined up with the prohibition

 Of Baldwin 1t may be said that he has seldom muffed the ball, even though his record shows an almost complete absence of any spectacular plays.
 Although other unionlsts are men, toned for the Job-Austen Chamber lain, Lord Curzon and Lord Derby political gossip says that Bonar Law Laws choice falls on Baldwin. The only factor that might sidetrack Baldwin, say the seers, Is bad pub lie reaction from the budget. AS head of the treasury, Baldwin faced the almost super human task of re- running the heavily burdened British government on basis of solvency. And he succeeded, as the budget showed.
 Baldwin, stocky in stature, clean shaven, his hair parted meticulously In the middle, Is an alert type of English business man. His achieve ments. moreover. have been scored largely in & business way. In that respect, and in his expert grasp of figures, he is modelled closely after Bonar Law. Politicians, in fact. say that Is one explanation Of the affin- ity between the two men.
 O o c
 Baldwin No Orator.
 Americans who received a close of Baldwin when he was in Wash ington negotiating the debt settle- ment will have about the same pie ture that Englishmen get in political circles of Westminster. Baldwin speaks like the chairman of a com pany. He Is business man of clear decided views, master of statistics and like Bonar Law is utterly lack ing in the spectacular flashes that characterize Lloyd George. He thinks all around subject before he dis courses on 1t and-again like Bonar Law-he is not an orator.
 His chief contrast with the present prime minister lies in his vigor. His forcefulness. his initiative, hs power of decision are counted upon to give strong lead both to the nation and his party which have been lacking under the allegedly inert" admins tration of Bonar Law.
 Baldwin Is 55, the father of two sons and four daughters. He was south Wales ironmasters and col lery owners, and a director of the Great Western railway company. long before he attained parliamentary reputation. He has been In the House of Commons since 1908, was financial secretary to the treasury and became president of the board of trade in Lloyd Georges coalition.
