REPEAL "OF LAW
HISTORIC BLUNDER
Issue Not Between ‘Wets’
and ‘Drys’ But Whether
Laws of Country Will

(By A»oclat«d Proto.) •-
DENVER. — President Harding;
served notice in an address here
Monday that the federal jeovem-
ment was determined to enforce
tho prohibition law even should the
burden of enforcement continue to
be increasingly thrown upon it by
the state-v
Moreover, the executive voiced
tho conviction not only that the
prohibition amendment will not be
repealed, but that whatever
changes may be made in the Vol
stead act “wilf represent the sin
cere purpose of eltective enforce
ment, rather than moderation of
tne general policy."
Striking straight out at those
who violato the law, the president
said the issue is fast coming to be
recognized not as one between the
wets” and "drys," but as une of
wnetner the laws of "this country
can and will be enforced."

and for the first timo in hUtoryl While Mr. Harding made no di-

New York state, he did say that
"tho xpectacle of a state nullifying
Hh own authority, and asking the
national Sovereignty to take over

implications of thia strange pro
posal are fully understood by peo-

new nulliiicationi&ts, I venture to
say, will discover that they have
perpetrated -what is likely to prove
one of the historic blunders in po

The president disclosed that a
good deal of testimony is reaching
Washington that xome states hav
