Drys Disappointed But
Expect Government to
Enforce VOIstead Law

ALBANY, June 2.-With the sign.
ing by Gov. Alfred e. Smith Of the
Cuvillier bill repeating the Mullan-
Gage State prohibition enforcement
law, State and nation today is
wondering what ultimate effect. If
any, it will have toward modification
of the Volstead law.
While the repeal of the State
law places the responsibility of en-
forcing prohibition upon the shout.
Governor Smith solemnly warned
peace officers of the State that they
must aid in the enforcement OF the
Volstead law. The Governor said:
LET it be understood at once and
for all that this repeal does not
in the slightest degree lessen the
obligation of peace officers Of the
State to enforce In it's strictest
letter the Volstead law, and warn
ing to that effect is herein con-
tanned as coming from the chief ex-
ecutive Of the State of New York. "
The vets declared today repeal
of the Mullan-Gage law Is the first
the Volstead law to permit the sale
of light wines and beer. Already
they are planning to carry their
fight into the next Congress. They
say that with the Empire State at
last definitely in their corner, vic
tory will be only a matter of time.
The governor said the signing of
the repeal bill will not make legal
a single act which was illegal while
the Mulean-Gage law was on the
statute books. He emphasized that
the signing of the repeater would
eliminate the possibility of punish.
ing a person twice for violation of
the prohibition law, State or Fed
eral.
The governor said he believes the
ultimate solution of the prohibition
problem can only be accomplished
by having Congress fix the maxi
mum alcoholic content Of beverages
IN it's definition of Intoxicating liquor
and then allow States to fix their
own standards, subject always to the
maximum prescribed by Congress.

sues, IL not the chief issue, Of the
1924 campaign.
Political leaders Of both wet and
dry persuasion, Republicans and
Democrats alike, Joined today IN
this interpretation Of the situa'
ton arising from New York's re
peal Of the State enforcement Law
and the remarkable statement OF
principles with which Gov. AL Smith
accompanied his approval OF the re
peal bill.
New Battle Looms.
The immediate physical effect Of
the repeal itself on the prohibition
situation in New York is not re-
garded as so important, for the
Federal Government will simply re.
enforce it's regiment Of dry agents
in the State, and enforce prohibition
probably as well as 1t has ever been
enforced in New York-laxiy.
II was the statement OF Governor
Smith, setting forth his reasons for
approving the bill, that was con-
sidered most significant in the CAPT
national platform on liberalization
OF the VoIstead law and the right
OF sovereign States to write their
own dry laws within the boundaries
prescribed by the Eighteenth
Amendment.
The platform on which Governor
Smith stood in signing the repeal
bill will Immediately be appropriated
bv the vets and made the basis OF
a new fight in the Sixty-eighth Con-
gress next December. When that
fight fails; as it most certainly VIII!
fail. because Of the still preponder-
ant dry strength in House and Sen.
ate. then the undaunted vets will
carry It into the Campaign of 1924.
which not only elects an entirely
new Congress, but a President as
well.
This was the picture drawn by
the political leaders-two years at
least of intermittent fighting over
the wet and dry issue, in which not
the Eighteenth Amendment, but
the Volstead law will be the bone
OF contention.
See Smith as Candidate.
That Governor. Smith will go to
the Democratic convention next
year a candidate for the nomina-
ton, with the backing Of the lib
eral" element was accepted here co.
day as already assured. And at
that he will have a considerable
strength also is regarded as Ger
tain.
From a political standpoint, the
lengthy statement of Governor
Smith. printed from coast to Goa st
today, was regarded as shrewdly
drawn.
Not only does 1t place him def.
nitely in the forefront OF the. lib.

regards prohibition, but his state.

particularly to the solid Democratic

What Rum Repeal
Ii N. Y. Means

Repeal OF the New York
State prohibition enforcement
act, while not technically let
ting down the bars to the
"wets," will have the moral
effect Of discouraging rigid en-
forcement of the Federal Vol
stead act. it Is believed by the
"drys."
Governor Smith points out
that all State officers are
bound by their Oaths to enforce
the Federal law, including the
Volstead act, and that nothing
which was illegal prior to re-
peal OF the State law will be
legal now.
"Drys'' contend that while
this should be true, the real
effect will be reduction OF the
number OF prohibition enforce.
ment officers from $4,000 to
200-the number Of Federal Of
ficers In the State.
