W. Tippett’s ser mons on Law Enforcement and his statement yesterday clarifying his postion. As his statement said vesterday, Dr. Tippett is still for the 38th Amendment and wi'l op any charge in the Constitu tion %on that score. When he was preaghing his law entvorcement sermons s large part of the public misunderstood them as Anti-Smith . He contends that they m. He stiil opposes Smith’s stand for a change in the 18th amendment on moral grounds, but he recognizes that from a political standpoint, Prohibition has been removed as an issue into today’s :qin by recent developments brought on by the attitude of th- Rept:slican leaders and the an nouncement that Andrew Mellon weuld succeed himself in charge of prahibition in event of Hoover's electiéh, Therefore, Prohibition as n nolfiesl issue is removed in D, Tippett’s judgment. However, D: Tppetd, pointed out. tbbw;rau contmye 10 Gppose any change in the Volstead Act or Prohibition Amendment, no matter who i elected. He is being “cussed” by extrem ist of both sides tor lus ‘“flop’ which wasn’t a “fiop” ac all. His sermons may have crealed (he impression ihat he was ior Hoo ver and:against Smith, because a. that time prohibition was consid ered a politica! issue. Now that it is removed and he has the frank ness to- assert that it is removed and says so publicly, he is criticiz. ed by those who can’t seem to un derstand his attitude. As for my self, 1 admire his courage and sin cerity, and so do mauy others who have heretofore misunderstood his attitude, and I want to make this public assertion of the fact. MR. £.l. SMITH. 5.
