1t is becoming more and more appar-
ent that wet strategy is to minimize even
TO the vanishing point the power wet
president would or could have in bringing
about the overthrow OF the prohibition
policy
Wet leaders are going to great pains
to explain to the people that repeal OF
the Eighteenth Amendment or repeal or
modification OF the Nolstead law is not
within the power of the president OF the
United States According to these latest
announcements coming from the booze
camp ii doesn't really make any differ
ence, after all, whether the President be
wet or dry.
Here is clearly case where the doctor
refuses to take his own medicine, for II
there is any one qualification which the
enemies OF prohibition are insisting their
candidate must have, ii is that he must
be wet.
The leaders of the anti-prohibitionist
know that the election of the next pres
ident OF the United States is the most
with reference TO the prohibition policy.
In the Interest of Smith
EA IDENTITY this effort to belittle the inn
portance OF the presidential candidates
attitude on prohibition was started in the
interest of Al Smiths candidacy. Al
Smith and nti-prohibition have become
a.. :
the day. Smiths hackers realize that it
is utterly impossible to disassociate in the
minds of the people, Smith and booze.
Hence the effort to convince the people
that the man in the White House would
be powerless to do the prohibition cause
any injury. Wet newspapers over the
country are feeding this latest wet argu-
ment to their readers both in news col
umns and in editorials A fair sample OF
this newest booze logic is CLEANED from
the woozy, booty Ohio State Journal o;
February 4
The deception in this propaganda is
found in what the editor does NOT say
in defining the powers OF the chief ex-
ecutive OF the United States. He emu
morates those things which the president
CAN NOT DO, but it is silent about
those things that HE CAN DO. Any
ffth-grade school boy knows legislative
powers are not vested in the president,
and the editor of the Ohio State Journal
insults the intelligence of his readers in
reminding them that Congress alone has
power to modify or repeal the Volstead
law and that the Eighteenth Amendment
can not be repealed without the consent
of congress and three-fourths of the
states.
The Journal is discussing a declaration
made by William Gibbs McAdoo in an
address before a convention held under
the auspices of the Anti-Saloon League
and the Woman's Christian Temperance

How the President Can Injure Prohibi-
ton

How the President Can Injure Prohibl-
ton
No, the president cannot usurp the
powers of congress, but the editor OF the
wet Ohio State Journal and every other
wet advocate knows that as titular head
of the party in power, the president does
exert a tremendous influence upon Con-
gress; that he has the power of veto
which can be overruled only by two
thirds vote of House and Senate; that his
influence is felt in the selection of MEM
bers to important committees in House
and Senate; that his voice is the voice of
the administration in power; that he APP
points the Secretary of the Treasury,
the head of the prohibition department,
and the collector of internal revenue and
the chief prohibition administrator that
he appoints the federal district attorneys
upon whom rests large share of the re-
sponsibility for dry law enforcement; that
he appoints the federal district judges;
that he appoints u. S. Marshals; and
that he fills vacancies on the Supreme
Court bench Ga fact that William Stayton,
head of the Association Against the Pro-
hbition Amendment knows, and the inn
portance of which he inadvertently adj
nitted recently when he said: ut is not
necessary to get the consent Ct 50 states
to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment. All
we need is one more liberal judge on the
Supreme Court of the United States. }
In short, as head of the executive depart
ment of the United States, he has every
thing to do with the enforcement OF the
prohibition law, and that with his veto
power he could defeat adequate appro-
priatons for enforcement, and that he
yields tremendous influence upon the leg
islative and judicial departments of gov
eminent, upon which all legislation per-
tanning to the prohibition policy depends.
Mr.. McAdoo is right The election of
wet President next November would
spell the doom OF the prohibition policy.
Let every friend of prohibition keep this
constantly in MIND and not be deceived
by this new argument from the liquor
camp that a wet president can DO the
prohibition policy no injury.
And as for the Journal editors ar
gument that it is not at all impossible
that a wet president would make more
efficient effort to enforce the law than
dry-"because he would in no way be be-

RADIO IS EFFECTIVE WEAPON
Position and Course of Swift-Rum-
Running Vessels Sighted Are
Signalled to Coast Guard

An Associated Press dispatch carrying
a Fort Lauderdale. Florida, dateline, says
that radio is the swift, unseen sentinel
that strikes fear into liquor runners now
battling to outwit the coast guard off the
Florida coast.
With their speedy craft able to outdis-
lance the slower patrol boats, the rum
ners have been leaving their foes behind,
often to land contraband cargoes, but
now they are learning to expect further
encounters before travelling far. For with
the sighting of the rum vessels, the patrol
boat promptly radios the customs guards
base description, speed and apparent
course. Immediately watching boats dot
ting the water passages between Florida
and the Bahamas and those nearest the
course dart out to intercept the runners.
In addition, the coast guard also uses
two seaplanes equipped with radio to aid
i'll the location of rum runners. Seldom
Goes the patrol boat which first sights the
runner get within distance to use its guns,
but the rum craft soon is given a signal
to halt by an intercepting vessel. If this
is disregarded shot from a one-pounder
is sent across the bow. This usually brings
the runners to standstill, but if fight is
wanted the guardsmen are ready.
There was recent battle in which
three guardsmen were killed. A coast
guard boat had captured runner and
was transferring the cargo when without
warning, the liquor smugglers began fir
ing. The radio operator at his key was
the first to fall, but enough OF his mes
sage reached the base to send Comman-
der B. Gordon and rescue forces thirty
miles in forty minutes aboard a special
speed boat.
On the East coast of Florida alone
where most of the rum traffic moves, 1
there are more than 400 miles of coast
and inlets to which smugglers dash. In
some places the islands serving as liquor
bases are not more than sixty miles dis
tant. 1t is virtually impossible to patrol
the entire coast with men and the guard
boats could not cope without wireless
with the fast and smaller liquor vessels.
So the customs guard base with its cen
trail radio station has as many eyes as
it has boats stationed off the lanes of
travel. alert and ready to move in any
direction the commander may direct to
intercept runners reported by radio.
