ENFORCEMENT IS
YOUR JOB, HYLAN
7 ELL S Garfield
Keep Liquor From Entering
Port, New York Mayor
Demands

NEW YORK, June 9.-Mayor Hylan,
who recently pledged city support
to the enforcement of the Volstead
law, told Federal Prohibition Dlrec-
tor Palmer Garfield in a letter to-
night all liquor should be stopped at
the port of entry and that enforce
ment was up to government officials.
enforcement of the Volstead act is
your job in this locality" said the
mayors letter, and you should go at
it honestly. Do not try to shift
the burden on the shoulders of any
body alse. Do not rip open the
feather bed and let the feathers be
strewn to the seven winds and then
expect the peace officers to go and
gather in the feathers. Keep the
feather bed intact. Stop the liq-
uor from coming in at the port of
entry so that the peace officers of
any locality will not have to go
for the little violator. Get the hooch
and rum runner. The people of this
country are sick and tired of being
humbugged. They have been horn
swoggled more on the enforcement
of this law than on any other law
that ever was placed on the federal
statute books"
Mayor Hylan launched a bitter at
tack on William II. Anderson, state
superintendent Oh the AHt1-SalOon
league, declaring if he and a few
other of his kind who, of course.
need the salary which they derive
from contributions paid in by well
intentioned people," would give their
aid to the federal authorities in
stopping liquor at it's source, the
people would get an honest enforce
ment of the Volstead act
But, of course" said the letter,
I'VE realize that if liquor was
stopped at the port of entry and
We had an honest enforcement. there
would be no more contributions into
the Golfers of these private organiza-
tons, and Anderson and a few
others of his ilk would not be con-
tinued on the pay roll longer.
Consequently it may be advan-
tageous to allow liquor to seep in
along the Atlatic ocast and the
Canadian border"

cratic committee had refused large
contribution from and suppressed a
significant letter by former President
Woodrow Wilson.
The intimation was that the former
president, in a letter, had spoken of
the alleged necessity of the demo-
cratic party renewing in the new
platform the allegiance expressed in
the old to the League of Nations, and
that the democratic committee, anx-
ious to avoid an issue on which it
Jared disastrously in 1929, declined
the contribution and pigeon-holed
the letter.
Mr.. HUI promptly denied the news
paper report with its limitations and
allegations He declared that he had
no contribution from the former
president and from him had received
no letter. He declared that If a con-
tribution or a letter We're received
the committee would accord to Mr.
Wilson the highest respect and tho
greatest courtesy.
1t is suspected by democrats that
the circulation of the report was SIM
ply another republican trick to create
friction in democratic circles.
Domestic Issues HOLD Stage.
Inc luea gains ground in both
democratic and republican ranks that
domestic issues will hold the center
of the stage next year. No outstand-
ing politician in either camp believes
that either party will take positive
stand regarding prohibition, and that
both will declare in platforms the
necessity of law enforcement. Were
Governor Al Smith nominated, demo-
Gratis might nave to defend his con-
duct as governor of New York, but no
one believes that Governor Smith has

Regarding prohibition, both par

Will probably repeat the history writ
ten in the 1920 conventions. Repub-
licans promised prohibitionists to put
something In their platform which
would please them, but failed to do
SO. Democrats refused to make con-
cessions either to the "drys" headed
by William Jennings Bryan, or to
the "wets" headed by the late
Bourke Cochran. The convention
heard the arguments and then, in tn :
open, declined to accept either.
Woodrow Wilson spoke through his
Secretary of State, cambridge Colby.
and the convention concluded to
fight shy of the liquor question.
There is apparently so much SEN
timent on both sides of that prob
.em that politicians believe both par
ties will ride the fence, or eompro-
mise by the adoption of a plank

The republicans, having attempted

the league, it is pointed out This
would have tendency to eliminate
the league issue even were demo-
Gratis to surprise the country by
making that issue the predominant
issue, it is said. However. there is
every reason to believe that while
democrats will not run from their
1920 declaration. they will give first
consideration in their platform to
domestic questions with which the
people are directly concerned
There is no chance that the repub-
licans will escape a fight on the
tariff. the cost of living. the price of
sugar, clothing and building ma
terial, the tax burden and cost of
transportation; their failure to pros
ecute and Jail war profiteers, their
government by injunction, and their
alleged trucking to the money
power.
There is just one factor that can
save the republican ticket, even If
the "isolationists" do not form
third party. in the opinion of best
experts in the east-that is general
prosperity shared by the people as
well as the manufacturing interests,
alleged already to be too rich.
