Here at the center of the borde,

Even at this late day the mathe-

tennessee and Kentucky speak in
comparatively modest figures. and
there is an all-round agreement that
the situation still is changing. The

In traditions and present political
complexion these two states re suf-

examination Of their inclinations

quarter of century each has etrayed

democracy-Tennessee in the Hard

IN the Coolidge landslide of 1924.
This year, the southern revolt

IS Years Old
Macdonald, who is IS years old
came to Newfoundland about three
weeks ago and began assembling his
plane in preparation for the attempt.
Although he said he had had only
so hours of flying he was confident
that he could make the flight alone
in the small plane.
Since arriving here the Young
Englishman had been awaiting fay-
orable weather conditions. He had
declared that he would not take off
until he had a 'hunch" that every
thing was right.

Connecticut has gone about as fal
as 1t can 60" said Or. James NJ
Doran. chief of the government pre-
hlbitlon bureau, when questioned
here today concerning a general re.
view of the prohibition situation he
has issued.
Uncle Sam should not be made
into a village policeman" he con-
tinued. There are more cases
pending now than the courts can
handle, and there is no point to
further extension of the system un-
til the courts are blilt up to whel e
they can handle the cases.
Il personally am not in favor Of
building up the judiciary to that
point"
DR.. Doran's attitude l., believed
also to furnish the government with
way out OF the embarrassing r.-
cent situation created by a failure
Of = majority Of applicants and
agents to pass the civil service ex-
aminations required.
In view OF the position Of the
prohibition chief. it is not believed
that the list OF new eligibles which
has been prepared for the fillil Of
the numerous prospective openings
will be used. and that enforcement
staffs will remain virtually at their
present level at least until the new
administration Is ushered in here III
March.
Connecticut agents thus appear
assured OF their jobs for some time
to come. and their work apparently
IS satisfactory to the chief Of the
bureau.
The Federal government" said
DR.. Doran in amplifyins his views,
has gone about as far as the au-
thority Of centralized government
in Washington ought to 60. in the
matter OF prohibition enforcement.
1T Is now up to the states. cities
and towns to take care Of minor
Of the liquor laws. The
people will not stand for
any further assumption OF authority
by the central government, and I
believe they will demand that their
local authorities take q more Wig
orous stand in enforcement"
In discussing the Connecticut sit
uation. DR.. Doran said that the
courts in the state. as we'll as over
the rest Of the country are clutter
ed now with minor liquor cases The
state enforcement system appears to
be working SO efficiently. he main
tained. that the courts are unable to
keep pace with it.
Under those circumstances. he
.aid. a reform in judicial procedure
was the only alternative, and that
he did not favor this. He added that
he did not believe the American
people favored it.
The dry chief went on to say that
Connecticut enforcement. as far as
'ederal agents are concerned, will be
argely directed to sources OF liquor
'upply and to major violations. This
s in line with the general tendency

country.
