should adopt such a course in regard to
their platform, they would not be able
to hold the dry Democratic States Of
the South and the dry Democrats of

Dry leaders said the last six months
of prohibition enforcement in this coun-
try had been the brightest spot for
prohibition. DR.. F. Scott Mcbride,
general superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, was frankly elated over
the manner in which the Government
is dealing with AL Capone in Chicago.
The dry leaders here are taking
satisfaction, too from the speech made
by President Hoover at the rededica-
ton of Abraham Lincoln's Tomb in
Springfield Ill. They point to it as a
restatement of Mr.. Hoover's determi-
nation to enforce the laws, including
the dry laws. They. look for more
and more effective measures by the
Federal Government along the line CT
law enforcement and more and more
results.
The Hoover administration because Of
these developments in the matter of law
enforcement, in the opinion of some Of
the dry leaders, is bound to benefit.
