ALL ILLINOIS STIRRED OVER THREATENED
REPEAL OF PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT LAWS

Because the repeal of the Illinois law
would in itself do nothing to improve con-
ditions but would throw down all local
barriers to bootleggers among boys and
SO would aggravate grave problem, be-
lieve the bill should be vetoed"
MRS. CHARLES w. GuKEY, PRESI-
DENT OF THE NATIONAL Y. W. G. A,
says:
Granted that we have a great problem
7 think that state repeal is very poor
way to solve it. Until we have some posi-
tive suggestion for both federal and state
action it only complexities matters to have
states repeal their prohibition acts"
DIR. r. w CANNON, WESTERN EDI-
TOR OF THE CONGREGATIONAL
CHICAGO, says:
II am heartily for veto of the repeal
bill. 1t would make the problem of en-
forcement very much harder and serve to
discredit prohibition in the country at
large"
MISS MARIA LEONARD, DEAN OF
WOMEN, UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS,
says:
I'VE must give youth the right moral
forces for building society. Illinois should
consider well before repeating any law
affecting the welfare of society"
HON. GEORGE II. WILSON, QUINCY,
FORMER SENATOR, AND PRESIDENT
OF THE STATE BAR ASSOCIATION,
1926-1927, says:
1.-THE second section of the Eighteenth
Amendment to the federal constitution
provides that The congress and the sew
eral states shall have concurrent power
to enforce this article by appropriate
legislation The question involved in the
repeal bill was whether the state of ILL
nois should continue its policy of con-
current enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment which is the supreme law of
the land, or come within the same cate
cory with New York as a notification
state This provision of the constitution,
different from any other, expressly con-
templates that the states shall assist in
the enforcement of prohibition. The i'm
portance of concurrent enforcement of
the Eighteenth Amendment by the states
and the fact that repeal of state enforce
ment acts is an attempt to nullify the
amendment clearly appear when one con-
siders that the federal courts and en-
forcement officers are entirely too few to
adequately cope with the situation. The
states without such constitutional sane
ton have uniformly enacted laws pro-
hibiting and Furnishing offences against
the federal government, such as counter.
feiting and the like, thereby recognizing
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1931-04-01

the duty of cooperating with and sustain
ing the federal government. We hear no
demand for the repeal of such laws.
IF the ACKNOWLEDGMENT bill be-
comes law, it will make Illinois a boot
legger's paradise"
MIR. S. S. ANDERSON, CHARLESTON,
ILLINOIS, sends the following appeal:
your ETcellency: In the name of God,
the home, the church, and all that is
good fine and worthwhile in our ciVilt-
zation; in the name of our children, in
the name of law and order, and in sup
port of the federal constitution, we beg
and plead with you to exercise your right
of veto and nullify the bill just passed by
our legislature repeating the dry enforce
ment law of this state.
MAY God in Heaven, who keeps vigil,
rules over and guides our destiny, give
you vision and courage to SO do =
GEORGE M. POTTER, PRESIDENT
OF SHURTLEFF COLLEGE, ALTON,
says:
"Being interested in the education of
youth and the moral welfare of my COM
munity and state, earnestly desire that
governor Ennnerson veto the prohibition
repeal bill"
JOHN TIAUBERG, LUMBER DEALER
OF ROCK ISLAND, says:
illinois always has stood loyalty by the
government. This is neither the time nor
occasion to quit. Yielding for policy'S sake
is merely counting embarrassment"
B. S. PEARSALh, BUTTER MANU-
FACTURER OF ELGIN, says:
ct believe it would be calamity to our
state and the Republican party and to
the governor himself if he signs the re-
pealer bill"
GEORGE A. HAAG AND A. r. HAAG,
WASHIN G. MACHINE M A N U F A c.
TURERS, PEORIA, ILLINOIS, says:
1--WE are decidedly opposed to the pro-
hibition repeal bill. Illinois ratified the
Eighteenth Amendment, was party to
it's adoption, and in the interest of law
and order should uphold it,"
ARTHUR T. MOREY, FOR YEARS A
PROMINENT OFFICIAL OF THE COM
MONWEALTH ST E Ell COMPANY,
GRANITE CITY, ILLINOIS, says:
Cannot believe you will let the great
state of Illinois take a backward step on
the liquor question Let us stand for hon.
est enforcement and education for better
observance"

THE LIFE SOAP COMPANY, AURORA,
says:

Warn Against Condition of Law
1essness Bound to be Ushered in
by Enactment of O'Grady-
McDermott Bill
Plead That State be Saved From
Disgrace of Failing to Support
the Constitution of the
United States

JUDGE ROBERT McNIURDY, FOUND
Err AND FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE
HAMILTON CLUB OF CHICAGO, AND
A FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE
STATE BAR ASSOCIATION, says:
"A prolonged experience as attorney for
organizations which opposed the liquor
traffic has taught me that those engaged
in that traffic would not respect any law,
ordinance, or regulation except under
compulsion. That part Of human nature
remains the same.
we still need every ounce OF enforce
ment, particularly while we have the
automobile, and it is essential that we
have the benefit of state enforcement In
deed, the object of the effort to repeal the
statute has been to cripple enforcement
and thereby to render the prohibition law
odious, and thus open the way to repeal,
which means eventually, in one form or
another, the return of the saloon"
BRIGADIER GEN Err A L NATHAN
MACCHESNEY, PRESIDENT OF THE
NATIONAL HOOVER LAW
YERS' ASSOCIATION IN 1928 AND
JUDGE ADVOCATE AT G.. H. @. OF
THE A. E. F. IN FRANCE, says
st am not in favor of any weakening
of the prohibition enforcement macllin-
cry at any point at the present time and
shall not be until constructive plan has
been worked out which is assured of being
adopted by congress and of giving us
greater temperance than we have today"
DIR. WALTER DILL SCOTT, PRESI-
DENT OF NORTHWESTERN UNIVER-
STTY, says:
II think repeal of the state prohibition
law would be a step backward. If the
governor can prevent it by veto, he will
be doing a service to the state"
MIR. A A. stage, ATHLETIC COACH
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, says:
For the sake of the boys and girls
growing up, the governor ought to veto
the bill Tt would be terrible mistake for
it to become law It requires an effort now
to get liquor. If the repeal goes through
there will be great relaxation of en-
forcement, and as result drink will be
obtainable much more freely. My plea is
for the children, not SO much for the col
lege students who have already ap-
preached maturity. Give the children a
chance to mature without having liquor
pressed on them and without having it
surround them in every way. They eS-
pecially need protection in this age. I
strongly feel Governor Enlmerson should
veto this bill It will take courage and
backbone to do it, and now is the time for
a show of backbone"

r. B. BENJAMIN, HEAD OF THE BEN
JAAIIN ELECTRIC MANUFACTURING
COMPANY OF CHICAGO AND DES-
PLAINS, says:
civ i c-minded, law-abiding citizens
greatly fear results if the prohibition re-
peal bill is not vetoed The constitution
and federal laws should be supported by
Illinois"
CLEMENT HEY, ICE CREAM MANU-
FACTURER OF STERLING, says:
81 urge that the governor take coura-
geouS stand and veto the prohibition re-
peal bill He owes it to the women and
CHILDREN of Illinois"
HENRY w. AUSTIN, CHAIRMAN OF
THE BOARD OF THE OAK PARK
TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK, says:
Qualification of state prohibition will
give the underworld more money than in
the past and enable it to operate easier.
The repeal bill should be vetoed. That is
the substance of a letter 1 have written
to Governor Emmerson."
MISS JESSIE f. BINFORD, DIREC-
TOR OF THE JUVENILE PROTECTIVE
ASSOCIATION, says:
I'VE are opposed to the repeal of the
prohibition laws, federal as well as state.
We therefore would favor veto by the
governor of the act to repeal the state
prohibition code"
MISS HARRIET E. VITTUM, HEAD
RESIDENT OF THE NORTHWESTERN
UNIVERSITIES SETTLEMENT, says:
ST wish very much that the governor
would veto. A veto would make people
stop and think about what they are al
lowing to happen. For Illinois to abolish
its enforcement act is like secession. Tt is
taking action against the constitution
While I respect the opinion of people who
honestly oppose prohibition, it is, I believe,
a very great mistake for any state to take
action against its prohibition law when
the United States congress has taken no
action"
MISS LEA D. TAYLOR, PRESIDENT
OF THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF
SETTLEMENTS, says:
''The governor would be justified, I
think in vetoing the bill. Every state Of
icer takes an oath to uphold the federal
laws when he takes Office. For Illinois to
decide not to help enforce the federal pro-
hibition law is simply to ask its officials
to abrogate their oath. We don't vote to
refuse to uphold any other federal law.
can see no reason why this single eXcep-
ton should be made"
BISHOP EDWIN H. HUGHES, OF THE
CHICAGO AREA OF THE METHODIST
EPISCOPAL CHURCH, says:
Governor Emmerson should veto the
repeal passed because of hostility to a
provision of the national constitution.
Lincoln's state cannot afford to indulge in
even fragmentary secession. My assured
judgment is that vetoing the measure is
both good politics and good morals"
DIR. w. CLYDE HOWARD, PASTOR
OF THE SECOND P RES BYT ERIAN
CHURCH AND MODERATOR OF THE
CHICAGO PRESBYTERY, says:
illinois is a sovereign state, but Is sub
ject to the constitution of the United
States and its amendments. Therefore,
there remains nothing for Governor EN-
merson to do but to exercise his privilege
of the veto, first because he is servant
of the commonwealth, but more especial
ly because Illinois is under federal juriS-
diction in constitutional matters"
