By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, July 26.-With seven
candidates seeking the long and short
term senatorial nominations, prohibit
ton will be the chief question con-
fronting Missouri voters at the pri-
mary election August 8. Taxation.
the World Court, farm relief and
other congressional problems have
been pushed to the background.
Three of the candidates are run
ming on bone-dry, platforms and the
Missouri Anti Saloon League, the w.
C. T. U. and the Missouri Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment
have also entered the fight.
The Democratic candidates are
Harry B. Halves of St. Louis, Willis
H. Meredith Of Poplar Bluff, Ewing
Cockrell of WarTensburg and Robert
/. Young of st. Joseph.
Those seeking the Republican noml-
nation are David NJ. Proctor of Kan
sas City, Senator George III. Williams
of st. Louis, the incumbent, and w.
Blodgett Priest of st. Louis.
Dry League Backs Three.
The ANTI Saloon League is support
ing the candidates. of Coekrell, Mere.
dith and Proctor, while Halves and
Priest are claSSed as wet. Senator
Williams is regarded by the Anti
Saloon League as wet and as indefinite
by the Association Against the FRO
hibftion Amendment. Young, who is
not waging an active campaign, is
running as a dry. The Anti-Saloon
League indorsed the candidates. of
Meredith and Cockrell after the former
had withdrawn from the long-term
race and the latter from the short
term to prevent a split in the dry
vote.
Halves is being championed by the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment by virtue of his declara-
ton against the Volstead act.
Khan Also Factor.
The Ku Klux Khan has taken a part
with the commentator of Williams
and Meredith by DIR. William II. Camp
hell grand dragon of the Missouri
order. Senator Williams said that he
had neither sought nor accepted such
support.
Meredith declared: II am running
on a platform of law" enforcement and
/ am glad to get any votes from peo-
ple who stand for the ideals do; /
don't care who or what they are"
Most of the candidates are for farm
relief, and Senator Williams is up
holding his stand against the World
Court.
The prohibition issue, despite action
at the primary, will continue as a gen
eral election question in November. A
measure to repeal the State prohibit
ton law, submitted by initiative petit
tons circulated by the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
Will be one of the bills on the ballot
then.

Eating Is Regulated.

Followers OF the Buddhist religion
give attention to a strict regulation in
their eating and drinking habits. In
beverages are expressly for
hidden, and the eating of meat is per-
rnissible only under the following re-
str;ctions: One must have killed the
animal himself, he must not have
ordered any one to kin 1t. 1t must not
have been killed by any one with the
intention of supplying it to him, and
he must not suspect that the animal
has been killed. However, meat eat
ers among the Buddhists of Ceylon,
Burma and Siam get around these
laws.

P|NCHOT ATTACKS
DRY REFERENDUM
States Failing to Aid U. S.
Enforcement Work Raped
at Governors Farley.

CHEYENNE, Wye, July 26.-The
United States is faced with three
outstanding problems--law enforce
fnent, conservation Of natural re-
sources and control of nationwide
corporate monopolies-Gov. Clifford
Pinchot of Pennsylvania told the
twelfth annual conference of COVER
nors in an address.
The Pennsylvania governor classed
law enforcement as the moral prob.
lem Of the Nation" and the conserva-
ton OF natural resources as the great
est economic problem in the United
States.
'In dealing with law enforcement
there must be no twilight zone be-
tween State and Federal authority
where the enemies of society might
hide themselves and escape punish
ment," he said.
Opposed to Referendum.
Neither can we suffer the State
made notification of our national Con-
stitution, whether under the guise of
a State referendum or by the failure
of the State to exercise its coordinate
powers.
ST have small sympathy with the
view which regards every new use OF
the Federal power as necessarily an
usurpation OF rights properly belong
ing to the States. The recent outburst
against President Coolidge's order for
the cooperative use of State and local
authorities in law enforcement is
typical example. Federal and State
action should be cooperative, not
hostile"
Although the governor was SEIZED
uled to speak particularly on the sub
iect of State finances, he vented his
feelings largely on other questions.
Mellon Ruling Attacked.
He attacked Secretary Of the Treas
ury Mellon as IAN example OF the
failure of the Federal Government to
cooperate with the State" in allowing
the State police Of Pennsylvania to
inspect brewerieS under Federal per-
nit only during the daytime, and not
at night, when crimes always are
committed"
Next he turned to the problem of
controlling ''monopoliStic trusts. This
is to be accomplished, he said, by CO.
operation Of both State and Federal
governments 1T is utterly futile to
attempt to secure the regulation of
interstate corporations by the action
of single State" he added. Nation
wide evils must be met by nationwide
remedies"
The use of Federal taxes for build
ing of a national highways system,
the development of natural resources
and industry within the States was
defended by Gov. Pinchot. He char
acteriZed the theory that each State
exists for itself alone" as being mar
row and unworthy"
