GOv. RICHIE FOR
 STATE DECISION
Thinks This Is Solution to
 Liquor Problem

Chicago, Nov. 26 LP-The demo- cratic creed of state determination offers the lone and only solution" of the prohibition question, Gov. AL bert c. Ritchie of Maryland told democrats at luncheon given by the Iriquois club today.
 The eastern executive, who has been spoken of as possible demo- cratic candidate for president said he was convinced the Volstead law could not be enforced. and suggest ed that the question be turned back to the state "so that each state may handle it in accordance with the convictions and will of it's own people"
 He chided the republican party for taking to itself the credit for Industrial prosperity" and said the democrats had 'an honest, affirm ative and constructive program for the nation.
 If the fall elections teach any lesson at all it is that both parties must face the prohibition question honestly and fearlessly," he said. Prohibition embodies a national is- sue which is irrepressible.
 Either the Volstead act must be changed CT it must be enforced, and I am convinced it cannot be enforc- cd. We have spent nearly $780, o00,000 trying to enforce it and have sacrificed nearly four billions of dol lars in taxes while the effort has been made, and our last state is worse than the first.
 "The democratic creed offers the one and only solution. We have al-

DUKE QUESTIONS
 RIGHTS 0F COURT
Claims Bridgeport Wife Cannot
 Sue in America

Bridgeport, Nov. 26 GE-Airing of the marital troubles of the Duke of Torlonia. Italy, and his wife, the former Elsie Moore of Greenwich, who Is suing for divorce, has again been postponed. A hearing on demurrer filed by counsel for the duchess, ill answer to the dukes claim denying the jurisdiction of the Connecticut courts in the matter, was first set for November 19, but was taken off the short calendar in the superior court here on that date upon agreement of counsel. Today's postponement was due to the Thanksgiving holiday, all short cal endar cases going over to next Fri day.
 In her suit for divorce the duch- ess charges her husband with mis- conduct with Marie Lorenzoni of Rome, said to be related to the Ital- ian royal family. The papers were filed last June.
 The dukes answer denies the jur- isdiction of the Connecticut courts on the ground that she forfeited American citizenship in marrying him and American residence by liv- ing with him on the ducal estate in Italy.
 The arguments here will be on the demurrer filed by the duchess counsel in which she claims resi- dence in Greenwich, which residence never was given up. The duchess is now living with her Mother, Mrs. Clark Moore, whom she came to wis., it a year ago. It was not until after her arrival here, she claims that she learned of her husbands misconduct, which resulted in her suit for divorce.
 The couple were married in Greenwich, August IS, 1907. They had four children, one of whom died. The duchess asks for cus- tody of the remaining three.

ways believed in the right of each state to settle in its own way ques- tions which intimately concern it's people, its peace, it's order, it's nor als and It's customs"
 Causes Much Discord
 Prohibition, Gov. Ritchie said, has bred more interstate discord and more political towards and hypocrites and had done more dam age to the body polite and to our social fabric than anything which, in my observation at least, has ever entered our national life.
 T resent the imputation that those who recognize this and who want to find a remedy for it are lacking in regard for law and or der. There is no disregard for law and order in protesting against an unsound and upenforceable law.
 We must admit that a break has come in the constitutional right of free speech and free press. We may concede that peaceable assem- plies are sometimes dispersed. We may realize that contempt proceed ings and paddock injunctions too of- ten take the place of jury trials. We know that unwarranted searches and seizures occur and that man may now be placed in double. jeop- ardy for the same offense, if only the nation prosecutes him the one time and the state the other.
 But at least the right to pett- ton for redress of grievances still remains and I put my reliance on that.
 Ut is for principles that I plead, for policies, for fundamentals, and a return to local self-government will, more than any other one thing, tend to put an end to sectional con- troversies, group interests and class conflicts
 Asserting that "it cannot be de- nied that a spirit of excessive fed eralism has been the political ear mark of the last quarter of cen tury," Gov. Ritchie said that "by a process of amendment. surrender acquiesence and indifference we have been building up a federal gov ernment at the expense of the states"
 Thus i've have become the vic- tins of foolish, unavoidable and un- sound laws" and 'the individuale failure to assert the charter of his liberties has caused 8 breakdown in political fiber"
