Prohibition Speaker Presents New Angle
Dr. D. Leigh CoIvin Claims the 2lst Repeal" Amend ment Is Illegal and Question Should Go to
 Supreme Court for Decision

Niagara Falls, N. Yp May b. (UP)---Charging that repeal had been offered as a "bribe" to voters in the last national elections, pr. D. Leigh Colvin today advised the prohibition party to proceed on the theory that the Fist trepeaD amendment eventually will be de- clarcd unconstitutional. Opening the national prohibition convention here, the keynoter asserted that the people of tho United States have been thrust into an "alcoholized so- ciety" since the last presidential nominating convention. @ !, ,.. {. DiabplleaI Scheme ,,a ,4a "Like detectives can reconstruct a crime following the event." Dr. Colvin said, i've can see the whole diabolical scheme by which the ad- ministration devised . system to of- fer a financial incentive for large numbers of voters to cast their bal- lots for repeal
 "The whole election should Dc thrown out. If after America re- covers her moral standards the rec peal process is put up to the Su- preme court in Q powerful manner, 1t will be set aside as the NTSA and 1t will be the 2ist amendment which will be invalid.
 18th Amendment Exists
 T propose that the prohibition party and all the moral forces of the country proceed upon the the- ory that the 18th amendment iS still rightfully a part of the consti- tution, temporarily in eclipse, but to be yinstated."
 He/ outlined the thesis that pro- hibi(ion had been betrayed by the handling of the major parties rath- or than tho merits of the cause, and that the only solution was a prohibition party ito administer prohibition.
