President Coolidge to employ state,
county and municipal police in dry

He announced that local officers
would be used only in California for
the present and that enlargement Of
the federal force would be confined
to deputy sheriffs. No considera-
tion, he added. has been given to ma
tionwide application Of the new exc
cutive order.
Taking cognizance of criticism in
the senate of the new move to pro-
vide more rigid enforcement Of the
Voistead law, General Andrews de-
clarod that this is not the time to
talk about states rights so far as
prohibition is concerned"
when the people wrote the 18th
amendment to the constitution" he
continued "they decided the federal
government should have the police
power hitherto reserved by the
states. They forced us to use tn
police power. making the jurisdiction
concurrent between the federal ana
state governments. l must ican Tn
the states and communities to carry
their burden in enforcement Of the
prohibition law"
Authority provided by the eNecu-
tive order was desired principally 20
permit closer inspection of reral dis
tricts, General Andrews explained,
adding that for that reason deputy
sheriffs would be enlisted.

Davidson Predicts
Ferguson Defeat

COLORADO. Texas. May 22.-Pre
diction that elm Ferguson will be
blotted off the ballot in the first pri-
mary was made here today By Lynch
Davidson. candidate for Governor. in
a speech at 4 county wide meeting.
He charged that Ferguson was the
real governor "by a political acci-
dent" and said that the Fergusons
were politically doomed.
Ferguson il more unpopular in
Texas today than ever before be-
cause he il better known" said David
son. Hundreds Of thousands Of
voters who had misgivings two years
ago while they voted for Ferguson
arc sharpening their blacklist pencils
today to scratch him finally off the
political records of Texas. Fergu-
sonism II a. surely doomed as If the
vote already had been counted.
Ferguson may receive 10000
votes in the first primary. but do
not think 80. That j. more than he
received in the first primary two
years ago. Texas wants him less to-
day than ii did then"
Will Beat Ferguson
Mr.. Davidson pointed out that II
either Moody or himself should re-
ceive less than 10000 votes and run
behind Ferguson, the third man
would receive over 100000 votes and
be elected on the first ballot accord
ing 10 his estimates.
ain either case" he said. "Texas
will be rid Of Fergusonism- with
Whit Davidsons strong vote Of two
years ago now running in my favor,
feel assured OF close TO 100000 votes
in the first primary. There Is a
ground swell or sentiment in favor
of a real business administration IN
Texas affairs that II growing strong
, er every day. overriding the breakers
Of political faction. In the present
days between now and the primary
that sentiment may turn to me the
additional 100000 votes that ] need
for a clear majority in the first cam
paign."
Davidson Dry
Mr. DAVIDSON Saiu lhdl ne ma"
travelled over most Of Texas in the
last few weeks and that "even In the
capitol building, where his own ap-
pointees hold sway. Ferguson's for
mer henchmen are leaving him like
sinking ship. The handwriting Is on
the wall. Texas will this year choose
candidate on his merit. and not
voting for distasteful candidate in
order to beat one that i more dis
tasteful.
1.-The accident that forced Jim Fer
guson on Texas after he had been
dead politically for years could not
have happened except under our un-
fortunate election laws, with nine
candidates in the race. One Of the
first planks in my platform was re-
vision Of that law in order to prevent
repetition Of that accident.
"This year, with only three in tine
race and Ferguson more unpopular
than ever before. that accident can
not be repeated"
Davidson challenged his opponents
to announce their stand on prohibi-
tion enforcement, which he said was
still nationwide issue. He said he
stood strongly for absolute enforce
ment OF the Volstcad law.
