POLITICAL PROBLEM
Messages From Washington
Make Kentucky Repeal
Issue More Acute.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FRANKFORT, KY, July 13.-With
the prohibition repeal battle growing
warmer in the South, Gov. Ruby Laf-
foon of Kentucky faces perplexing
political problem.
While the Governor was considering
calling a special session of the Legis-
1ature to act upon a levy upon beer,
two messages from washington have
made the repeal issue more acute.
One, forceful telegram from Post
master General James J. Farley,
called the Governors attention to the
Democratic platform pledging repeal,
and to the vote of the Kentucky dele
cation fer that plank.
Hard upon the heels of the first
was message from President Roose-
welt to party leaders in Alabama, but
also mentioning Kentucky. in which
the platform pledge was quoted.
Kentucky, home of famous d.stillerieS
dry" territory since the war, is one
of the few States whose Legislature did
not meet this year. No regular session
is scheduled until next year.
Conflicting factors in the situation
are the distilling industry, and the
fact that even if national prohibition
were repealed Kentucky's own State
constitutional provision could not be
repealed until 1885.
Repealists and others have urged
upon the Governor that if national
prohibition is repealed this year Ken
tucky distilleries would find their
market pre-empted before they finally
could operate in 1885. Some have
argued that it would be better if re-
peal were delayed until the State pro-
vision also can be erased.
Others have urged that the States
enforcement act merely be repealed,
thereby removing the penalties, and
leaving the State amendment until
later. Prohibition leaders have at
tackled this counsel as notification"
Should enough States be mustered
for immediate repeal anyway, these re-
pealists say. Kentucky will be faced
with possible loss of her disttlleries, re-
gardless of her delay in taking action.
Yet others have cautioned the Gov
ernor against submitting the issue to
the present Legislature. They cite the
fact that the House of Representatives
in 1882, elected that year and un-
changed by any election since, voted,
81 to 9, against repeal of the State
amendment
Gov. Laffoon has let it be known he
is considering a special session to act
on beer levy only on the condition
that the assemblymen limit their Ses-
sion to 10 days and accept actual
transportation expenses in lieu of Gus
tomary nlileago allowances.
