The campaign embarrassment
referred to by Mr.. Taft was the
publication of letters in which he
opposed the adoption of ConsCi-
tutional prohibition and predicted
that the law could not be en-
forced.
Supreme Court Dry
During his eight years as Chief
Justice the Supreme Court be-
came known as dry" because of
its repeated decisions upholding
the Government in its construc.
ton Of enforcement laws.
The apparent conclusion of Mr..
Taft that President Hoover owes
his election to the drys in his
contest with former Governor
Smith is expected to claim the
attention Of politicians.
Prof. Taft referred to the
views Of his brother during his
defense of prohibition. He said
he was not particularly i'm.
pressed" by the use of we'll known
names but quoted his brother
because he had been misrepre-
Sented.
My brother was opposed to the
adoption of prohibition. The
reasons he gave for it in one or
two articles and speeches are
much the same as those used by
other men," he said.
Must Observe Law
when, however, the amend.
ment was adopted and the law
passed he became convinced that
both of them were beyond repeal,
that the policy was here to stay
and that all good citizens must
observe the law and do all in
their power to help in its enforce
ment. There is no excuse what
ever for misunderstanding this.
"If the mere authority of his
name is sought no one on the
wet side ought to claim it. Ore
lady, for instance, in a newspaper
controversy with a dry remarked,
I prefer the wisdom of Chief
Justice Taft If that does not
mean that he was on her side
