At Coney Island several weeks ago
he dampened the hopes of the vets
by announcing he would uphold the
constitution. To the palpitating
drys he pointed out time and again
the overwhelming approval of the
people al the last state election for
a return of light wines and beer.
Follows Conscience.
In announcing that he had signed
the bill. the governor declared that he
followed the dictates Of his conscience.
the advice of high legal authorities
and the implied wish Of the people in
the last state election.
Because of the far.reaching inter-
est in this bill displayed by all classes
Of our people" said the governors
statement, II have given nearly one
month of solid and careful thought
to its final disposition.
1T is furtherest from my thoughts
to question the motives Of the men
and women Of integrity throughout
the state. who, with an eye 70 the
right Of justice. have arrayed them
selves on the different sides Of the
question presented"
Only Course open.
Reviewing. then, the history Of
prohibition so far as New York is con-
cerned the governor poiEted out that
the people OF New York gave an over
whelmlng majority to the democratic
platform which provided for a refer
endum on the use OF wine and bser.
He then declared he had acted as
the governor Of the state only, un-
der .he law. could act.

pointed out TO me any provision OF
the statutes or any decision Of the
United States supreme court which
Imposes upon our state any conv.c-
tional duty 10 maintain q state on.
forcement act. and I am satisfied that.
as a matter Of law. this contention
does not admit OF doubt.
Dealing With Three Classes.
II am dealing with three classes OF
people. the radical drys. the radical
vets, and those who hold moderate
views on the subject.
1.-The drys seem TO see a moral duty
on the part OF the state to maintain
an enforcement act They are un.
doubtedly led TO this by their own
frame OF mind. because they do not
suggest that the state maintain an
act merely enforcing the Eighteenth
amendment in accordance with the
wishes OF the majority Of the people
OF the state. but they insist that
there be state enforcement act ex-
aetiy paralleling the Nolstead act
Quoting from a decision Of the
United States supreme count, which
said:

the Eighteenth amendment Is in no
wise dependent upon or affected BY
action or inaction on the part of the
