be condemned for expressing OPP
position to the 18th amendment and

the Volstead act as part Of New

peal Of the state enforcement act.
Breaking the silence which has
characterized his attitude on mat
ters Of national Importance since
he has been prominently mentioned
for the Democratic nomination for
president, the governor last night
told the New York state league of
women voters that he had not de-
viated in the slightest from his
earlier opposition to the federal
prohibition statutes.
In maintaining that opposition, he
declared, he was not showing z lack

merely exercising the right Of
American citizens ito oppose any

Referring to the many times he
