FOR STAND On
PROHIBITION
voIstead Finds in President a
Staunch Ally Of Anti-rum
Crusaders.

When former Congressman A. J..
Volstead of Minnesota, father Of the
prohibition enforcement act, lan1ed
recently at New York from a "Trip
abroad, he was quoted as declaring
in depressed fashion that nothing
he had to say would interest any
body"
Since then, however, he evidently
has plucked up heart, as witness
a formal statement he issued .,ere
last night, in which he declared
President Coolidge a staunch dry
supporter and reviewed the enforce
ment work under the law with
satisfaction.
''I find that I was right in my
prophesies that President Coolidge
would disappoint the vets who
hoped the new Administration would
ease up on law enforcement" de-
clared Mr.. Volstead. 'tF1is appeal
to the governors Of the States for
their cooperation should have far
reaching effects.
1.-THE reports Of the Department
Of Justice show not only an active
effort to enforce the law, but graft
flying results. In 80 per cent Of
the cases terminated, the parties
arrested for violating the prohibit
ton law have been convicted. What
is more significant. there have been
10, 1000 more convictions this year
than last and $4,000 more than
the year before"
