Providence. r. l., Dec. 15.-AP)-
Public opinion must Nbe ''marshalled
and made militant, the eyes of the
bootleggers' patrons must be opened,
and public officials who respect the
constitution must be put in office if
the fight for law observance and law
enforcement is to be won, said Mrs.
Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, wife of Gov
ernor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, here
tonight. She was the last speaker at
three day convention of the Rhode
Island Anti Saloon League and the
New England Workers Conference
for Law Observation and Law En-
forcement.
Pointing out that 1--WE center the
law enforcement on the eighteenth
amendment because the law detiers'
center their attack on the eighteenth
amendment" she said she believed
these meetings will be in vain I'M
ess we go out convinced that real
fight must be made.
This fight for law observance and
law enforcement will be harder, long

'The public opinion which we have
now must be mustered, marshalled
and made militant. We must open
the eyes of the patron of the boot
logger until they see themselves as
they are seen. responsible for every
crime committed for the service of
their appetite. Third, since the ques-
ton is in politics, we must organize
to put into office men who respect
the constitution, and keep out of Of

we must apply it from president to

The federal forces. controlling the
release of liquor and alcohol, "can

Generally speaking, there will be no

LaFollette Says
Will Follow Father
In Principles Favored

Washington, Dec. 1J.-(AP)
Both before and after the Republi-
can Senate today had accepted him
into the party fold, Senator Lafol-
lette, of Wisconsin, gave public no.
,tice that he would adhere to the
Progressive principles of his
father who was read out of the party
a year ago by the Senate old guard.
His st notice went directly to
the party leaders in the form of a
letter to the committee on commit
tees which voted yesterday to recog-
nize him as a Republican in making
committee assignments. J s second
took the form OF an address at
banquet given in his h-nor tonight
by the officers Of Labor, a newspaper
published by railroad workers.
Immediately upon receipt of the
young senator's letter Chairman
Watson called a hasty meeting of the
committee on committees. After
hearing the letter read the members
held that it was not to be construed
as changing Mr.. LaFollette's party
status and within an hour the Sem
ate approved without debate or a
record vote his assignment to COM
mittecs as a Republican.
In his address tonight at the
banquet, Senator LaFollette spoke
largely of his father declaring it
was fitting that he should do so,
especially in reference to the politi-
cal situation that confronts us when
every effort is being made to dis
courage Progressives, to cow and
to whip them into line
