GOVERNOR Al SMITH
URGES POPULAR VOTE
ON LIQUOR QUESTION

ALBANY, March Ex-Governor
Smith today made public a letter re-
plying to United States Senator Fess,
Republican, Ohio, who recently took
exception to the action of the New
York legislature in nemoralizing
congress for modification Of the Vol
stead act.
1--WE ask for a reasonable congress
sionaI Interpretation of what consti-
tutes an intoxicating beverage" was
the keynote of the governors letter,
which declared that New York state
was not asking 1axity in enforce
ment Of the federal prohibition laws.
People who for years were used to
a harmless glass of beer have been
put upon whisky diet.
II am impressed by the figures
that you give of the vote in your own
state on 2.75 per cent beer, as we'll
as the vote Of Michigan and Callfor-
MIA. Why not settle the question
for all time and provide for that vote
in every state, with congress fixing
'2.75 per cent as a maximum alcoholic
content and allowing the popular
vote to fix the minimum? That,
surely, is democratic government.
''It is the voice of the people them
selves and if that is not the essence
Of democracy, then we had better
turn the key in the door and go out
of business -
The governor took Senator Fess to
task for intellectual intolerance,
saying:
1.-The intellectual Intolerance of
those like yourself who favor theo-
retical totad abstinence instead Of
genuine temperance, ms well illus
'trated in your communication.
1.-THE New York legislature consist
ing of one Democratic and one Re-
publican house, exercises it's tradi-
tionaI right to memorable congress
favoring the amendment of federal
statute
The amendment asked is nothing
more nor less than to define the
term Intoxicating beverages" as
used in the eighteenth amendment in
O way deemed by the legislature OF
the state of New York to be reason
able in order to permit the sale I'M
der stringent restrictions of bever-
ages which in point of fact are
deemed not intoxicating. Because
the view of the legislature differs
from your own, you write to me In
comment upon the memorial that
the sole issue is one of law enforce
ment, with We distinct imputation
that the legislature is avocating
the policy of nonenforcement of the
law of the land.
Speaking, believe, for the state,
which have the honor to represent,
nothing could be further from the
facts.
You may have noticed recently
in the papers a statement coming
from me about bar rails. I think
that on my record you will join with
the people who know me we'll and
do me the credit of believing that l
have enough common sense and ex-
perience of life to understand that
the saloon is and ought to be a de-
funct institution in this country.

neWspapermen after several facetious
remarks had been made about the
promised introduction of a per

WILSON MAY TAKE
PART IN SELECTION
Of 1924 CANDIDATE

WASHINGTON, March 2S. -
Woodrow Wilson, whose political ac-
tivity is increasing day by day, will
endeavor to play a prominent part
in the selection of Democratic
presidential candidate in 1924, ac-
cording to his closest friends here.
Mr.. Wilson, as his health con-
tinues to improve, is taking a much
more active interest in party af-
fairs. During the last few weeks
with political leaders at his home on
S street.
1t is quite possible that he will
not favor the candidates. of any of
those now being mentioned, but
will produce a Ozark horse" all his
own and ask his nomination. The
sharp divergence of views among
Democratic chieftains is indicated
by the fact that Mr.. Wilson and
his son-in-law, William G. McAdoo,
have asked Governor Sweet, of
Colorado to appoint different men
as successors to the late Senator
Nicholson. Mr.. Wilson favors Hus-
ton Thompson, while McAdoo urges
Morrison Shafrotl1, son of a former
senator.
This is not considered political
break between the two, but is in
dicative of the situation resulting
from the efforts of various persons
to gain control of the party.
Mr.. Wilson's great hope still is
that the United States will join
the League of Nations. For that
reason ne desires a 1924 candidate
pledged to such a course. Through
a large volume of mail, he is keep
ing in touch with the political sit
uation throughout the country.

The farmer prepares his soil and
