MURRAY URGES
LIQUOR CONTROL
BY The STATES
Alfalfa Bills Surprise Pro-
posaI Ignored by Anti
Saloon League.
BIZ Unafed Press


WASHINGTON, Jan. l9.-Ohi-
ciais Of the Anti-Saloon League de-
cioed today to ignore the startling
speech of Governor William H. CAL
falfa Bid Murray, who went before
the dry organizations convention
Monday night with the suggestion
that a retreat from prohibition
might be necessary.
Murray's plan for regional liquor
control among the states was de-
scribed by F. Scott Mcbride, super
lntendent Of the league, as an old
wet argument with no new phase
except the method of controlling
the liquor within states. Mcbride
said the Oklahoma Governor, in
troduced as a dry leader, had re-
pudiated his own convictions by
deyiating from his prepared speech.
Heralded as a dry champion,
with the God bless you Bill" of
William David Upshaw of Georgia.
resounding in his ears, Murray pro-
posed a system of treaties between
states or groups of states and the
federal government. These treaties
would regulate interstate commerce
In liquor, barring it from such
states as chose to retain prohibition
AS soon as Murray had finished
his speech the leagues executive
committee met in excited session to
draft reply. This was to be made
public today.
FrOwns on Repeal
The frock-coated Governor made
1t clear he was not advocating i'm
mediate change. His plan, he said,
is a possible plan" well within the
Constitution. He would not repeal
the eighteenth amendment.
The speech was a total surprise
to the delegates, but apparently not
to the dry leaders. There was evil
dence that they had advance infor-
nation on what Murray was going
to say, since virtually every speaker
preceding him denounced the gen.
eral ideas he was to put forward
later.
AS speech after speech attacked
the regional control idea, Murray
grew redder and redder above his
unwonted starched collar, and fidg-
eted about in his chair. DR.. Ernest
H. Cherrington then summed them
all up. Referring to the half slave,
half-free" days before the Civil war,
he said:
IF the government today pro-
vided a group of liquor and non
liquor states we should have that
identical situation-only worse"
For State Treaties"
AS result of the attempts to
knock down his speech in advance,
Murray depressed from the prepared
text. He toned down many parts
of it, but told newspaper men aft
erward that he personally stood by
every word of the original
He said he wanted nothing done
now, nor until the economic situa-
ton returns to normal and people
are able to discuss prohibition with
out prejudice or passion. His plan
provides:
A series of treaties among the
states by groups. Under federal
supervision, adjacent states desiring
wine and beer would sign treaty;
states legalizing only beer would
have another; bone dry states would
have their own treaties.
Interstate commerce in alcoholic
beverages would be forbidden ex-
cept among those groups sanction
ing the particular beverage involved.
