Millions of people in this country do
not seree with Mr.. Hoover that this Is
a noble experiment. You could get no
better testimony for that than to look
at the result of the referendum IN SO
MANY of our thickly populated States.
while it is true that some OF the
Saa tes of the Union have voted against
change in the present system, 1t Is at
the same time true that in the large
norullous States the result is the otner
wav, as is evidenced by the referendums.
Cites Referendunls.
In New York people out OF sympathy
with the law. in popular election, ex-
pressed it by over 100000 majority.
In Illinois by 234 900 majority. In Wis
consin by III, ZOO majority. In Ne
vada by $500 majority. In Montana
by 1920 majority. -.
The point is that great army of
the American people oppose these laws
Nobody can say that that is healthy
condition in our democracy. Nobody
can say that people like ours are COM

citizens resist the attempt on the part
of the Government to regulate their
conduct by law. The natural result

cent Harding was the one man in high
cfficial position in washington who was
prepared to concede that 1t was the
most demoralizing factor in our public
life.
What is the answer of the Repub-
lican party to all of this? In the face
of this record, the platform CLOSES over
the whole thing by quoting the words
of George Washington and of Abraham
Lincoln. and again pledges itself and its
nominees to the observance and vigor-
Gus enforcement of the eighteenth
amendment: no truth, no candor. not
even common honesty. And all of this
from e party that for eight years has
tried as best it could to be all things
to all men.
Senator Gore Quoted.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, in a
speech at Omaha recently. summed it
,lp in a few words when he said that
the Republican policy was to give the
liquor to the vets and give the law to
the drys.
The Republican candidate. speaking
on the subject. said the following:
"Our country has deliberately under
taken a great social and economic ex-
pertinent, noble in motive and far
reaching In purpose. 1t must be worked
out constructively.
Common sense compels us to realize
that grave abuses hive occurred
abuses which must be rernedied."
He thereafter speaks of a searching
investigation.
Let me show you a complete record
of a searching inquiry made only two
years ago, comprising LOO pages of
testimony, all of which, for reasons of
political expediency. were disrcgarded.
What is the plain common sense of
this whole proposition?

ture. In my speech of acceptance I
suggested remedy. Let us deal with
it for little while.
Proposes Definition.
First, recommended an amendment
to the Volstead act which should con-
tain sane and sensible definition Of
what constitutes an Intoxicating bever-
age. because upon its face the present
definition does not square with COM
mon Sgns7 or with medical opinion
Each State could then provide for an al
coholic content not greater than that
fixed by Congress.
1t must be borne in mind that the
eighteenth amendment does not pro.
hibit alcoholic beverages: 1t prohibits
Intoxicating beverages And no sensi-
bic man can trlthfully be prepared tc
say that one-half of per cent of al
cohol constitutes an intoxicant.
firmly and honestly believe that a
great deal of the dangerous and poison
Gus hard liquor would be driven out of
this country If the people could be as
sured of an alcoholic beverage declared
by common sense and by science to be
non-intoxicating.
I further recommended an amend
ment to the eighteenth amendment. /
placed it squarely upon the basis of
the Jeffersonian principle of the right
of each State to determine for itself
what it wants to do about questions Of
local habits of life usually covered by
local police laws.
Provides Safeguards.
l have carefully, however, provided
safeguards that will make impossible a
return OF the old conditions of sale in
the saloon, despised, and rightly SO,
by the American people.
I suggest a referendum for the ex-
preston of the will of the people them
selves in the first instance. / would
then regard 1t as the right of the
State itself. subject to limitations which
I outlined. to dispense to its own in
habitants alcoholic beverages as desired
by the people of the State.
No man who believes in States
rights. who believes in the fundamental
principles OF democracy. can find any
fault with that No State should be
permitted to impose its will upon an
other State in matters of local concern
What would the States that desire pro-
hibition think about a proposal to
amend the Constitution to forbid them
to enact prohibition laws? They would
Justly resent it. That's the way the
people of the ether States feel about
the eighteenth amendment
The cure for the ills of democracy is
more democracy. Hand this back to
the people. Let them decide it. And
certainly it is not asking too much to
let them have something 10 say about
it when an experience OF. eight years
permits M to paint such 6ismal pic
ture of failure as I have beer able to
lay before this gathering tonight.
Coolidge Is Quoted.
This I would say tn the people of the
dry States. I propose nothing which
would impose upon them any law which
they do not desire within their own
States. I propose merely a change
which will give to each local community
under appropriate safeguards that Sys-
tenn of law which it desires.
Speaking of subject ether than pro-
hibition before the American Bar AS
