Government Should Buy Up
Au' Stored Liquor, Britt Says
Newt Congress to ProUide $4,000, 900
Next Congress to Prouide $74,5OO,OOO
to Purchase 81 Million Gallons.

The government should buy up all
the 37,400.000 gallons OF distilled
spirits in the country. II should issue
bonds or certificates to raise the
necessary funds for such purchase.
1t shorld then distribute them ac-
cording to legitimate needs without
stint or hinderance," and hold the
men and the corporations that get
them Irresponsible before the law
This is the proposal put forward
as remedy for many Of the evils now
atte ending prohibition. by James J.
Britt, counsel for the prohibition
unit. bill providing authority for
such bond issue may be introduced
in the next session Of Congress in
December.
Judge Britt would not, however
include in the proposed government
purchase, alcohol or wine. but only
distilled spirits already made and in
the warehouses. including whiSkies,
gin, rum and brandy.
Estimate OF Value.
Judge Britt. 1t was learned. fol-
lowing his presentation "f the pro"
poSa1 to the American Drug Manu-
facturers Association. estimates the
value of the distilled spirits various
~ from s. to Sc a gallon. Under his
plan. therefore. TO take over the dis
titled spirits of the nation. the gov
ernment would invest somewhere
between $74.S00.00O and s224.400.000
in property now belonging to private
citizens and corporations. thereby
serving the double purpose, he be-
lieves, Of economic justice TO the
owners of the liquor, and of more
efficient enforcement Of prohibition.
The price should be set at 'rea-
sonable figure" Judge Britt believes.
but should be a just return to the
owners. The owners of distilled
spirits, Judge Britt believes. did not
expect the eighteenth amendment to
pass. and they did not put their bus
mess on any footing that would safe
guard them against financial loss in
the future.
Owners Hard Hit.
THE result is that in many in
stances men Of high responsibility.
owning these certificates in large
quantities of drink, are concerning
themselves with men whom we call
hootleggers. men whom they would
not have at their tables or introduce
to their wives and daughters. but
still for the time being they may
have them bring into the market
some of this product on which they
may lose their all"
under government control Judge Britt
made public his estimates of the
following:
1--WE have in this country now
seventy-one alcohol plants They
produced last year sS,000.000 gallons
Of proof alcohol. This alcohol was
removed from the plants and sold
and used mainly as it was manufac-
tured. and only 2.175,oO0 gallons were

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (By The
Associated Press) - President Har-
ding's death throws new complexi-
in the Republican party which un-
doubtedly will have far-reaching re-
Elections in the national convention
of next year.
1t probably will turn what many
expected to be merely a ratification
meeting into a contest for the Re-
publican forces aligned on the one
side and the forces represented by
such leaders as Senators Johnson of
California, Borah of Idaho, and La
Folette of Wisconsin on the other.
Six months ago the denomination
of President Harding without sub
stantial contest seemed assured. One
of the men who was regarded as his
likely principal opponent for the
nomination had confessed to a col
league and friend that he found him
self without an issue.
The Presidents pronouncement
for entry of the United States into
the World Court, however, altered
the situation materially, and during
definite information through the
mysterious channels by which politi-
cal captains maintained their in;e
ligence systems that all was not go
ing to be as clear sailing as had
been expected in the Republican ma
tional convention of 1924 and that
there might be contest after all.
There were days of discourage

CUMMINGS HEADS SENATE;
NO VICE PRESIDENT

DES MONIES, Iowa. Aug. a.
Senator A. B. Cummins of Iowa, who
by the elevation of vice president
Calvin Coolidge, automatically be-
comes president of the senate until
the next regular session, issued the
following statement today;
my one thought at this moment
is that l have lost one of the best
and dearest friends l ever had. He
gave to his country pure exalted
mind. a devoted heart and finally
his life."
With Calvin Coolidge elevated to
the Presidency, the ration finds itself
without a president, but the
law makes provision for the sec
rotary of state to take over the duties
of president in the event of the
death of the executive The vice
presidency, itself, however, remains
vacant.

Political Situation
Given New Aspect

ment in the first 18 months of Pres
ident Harding's occupancy of the
Presidential chair and on many oc-
casions he expressed to close friends
his wonderment why anybody wanted
to be President with its trials and
tribulations and "the thankfulness of
the job
On one moment of disgust and
discouragemen Mr.. Harding had
said to a close political friend and
associate who had been held in re-

the convention of 1920.
do you want this job next time ?
If you do, it's yours as far as l am
concerned: I'll be for you"
But his friends urged him to put
discouragements aside and carry on.
Mrs. Harding also always urged him
to put away throughts of stepping
down and not being a candidate for
denomination.
But as the time wore on, Presi-
dent Harding like other presidents,
decided he wanted a second term.
EARLY in 1928 there was a great deal
of speculation as to whether he
would be a contender. There was
also some momentary speculation
among some political leader as to
whether the party would not be
making a valuable strategic move
If 1t selected another candidate.

Takes Oath of Office

PLYMOUTH, Vt, Aug. 81
(By The Associated Press).-
the little living room of his
fasher's home here Calvin Cool
idge early today took the oath
of office as President of thu
United States. The oath was
administered by his father:
John G. Coolidge, at 2:47 A. NJ,
Eastern. Standard Time.
A telephone had been installed in
the Coolidge farm house within an
hour after word of the death of
President Harding had been receiv-
ed and by communication with
Washington the exact form of the
oath was obtained. In clear voice
the Vice President repeated after
his father the words prescribed by
the constitution:
II do solemnly swear that will
faithfully execute the Office of Presi-
dent of the United States and I will
protect and defend the constitution
of the United States
Then, although the constitution
does not require it, he added 80
help me God.''
The witnesses of the simple cere-
mony were Mrs. Coolidge, con-
gressman Porter II. Dale, of Yer
mont; Erwin c. Giesser. Mr.. Cool
idge's secretary; Joseph H. Foun-
tain, editor of the Springfield, VT.
Reporter; Joseph M. McInerney of
Springfield. a federal officer, l.. L.
Lane of Chester, president of the
New England railway mail associa-
ton, and Erbert p. Thompsani,
commander of the Springfield post
of the American Legion.
Accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge,
Congressman Dale of the second
Vermont district. and two federal
employees who had been hastily
pressed in secret service duty, the
president left by automobile for
Rutland, where a special train was
prepared to take the party to New
York. Colonel John c. Coolidge, the
Presidents father, who is seventy
eight years of age, resisted the ef-
forts of his son to induce him 20
make the journey to the capitol.
Neighbors from Plymouth and
nearby towns gathered to wish their
president Godspeed. From Ludlow,
Woodstock and Bridgewater came
men who had gone to school with
one they remembered as Red
Coolidge. An army of newspaper
men and photographers invaded
quiet Plymouth Notch as If by
magic until the start to Rutland
became a procession of automobiles.
Within a few hours after the lonely
farm house had become a mecca for
hundreds Less than an hour after
Mr.. Coolidge had learned of the
death of Mr.. Harding, telephone
was installed in the house, and the
President had learned direct from
Washington the form of the oath
o. office. and the fact that his
fatr er might have the honor of adj
ministering It. In the meantime
