PAGE FOUR DRY Ll® ifflUlHl® Democratic Nominee Has Con sistent Record On Issue of National Prohibition WASHINGTON, July 16. -i'ro bibition leaders have annoit . ■■■] they are satisfied with th r> -..rd of John W. Davis ano approve hi? nomination. In the early days of the fig'it for national legislation to stop the' liquor traffic Mr. Davis refused to swallow ey.-ry ' recommendation made by the Anti-Saloon League. For this independ nee of action he was denounced by fanatics, but in resisting the dry program, as written by Dr. E. C. Dinwiddle and Wayne B. Wheeler and pointing out the dangers of too much feder al law on that subject, he won tne admiration of many members <f congress, some of whom did not 1 have the courage to stand with him I Mr. Davis’ first pronounced p-'-i --tion on this subject was made | known when he refused to sign tile majority report on the bill “d'- vesting intoxicating liquors of their interstate character in certain ' cases,” which became- the Webb-i K'-nyon act. Mr. Davis stoutly opposed any action that would interfere w.tb personal liberty. In the' minority report which he wrote, he said “We are not content with the bill I in its present form.” Mr. Davis regarded the constitu tionality of the bill as ‘by no means free from doubt,’ but agreed - to give tiie ‘house an opportunity. to resolve the doubt in favor of the policy of the 'proposed law.'j ‘and did not try to block a report from the judiciary committee. It is not the professed object of this bill to interfered with the pur- 1 chase and the consumption of iic uors for personal use,” said hi.s minority report, “but since the un lawful intent mentioned in the mil is predicated upon the law of the various states, we think the bill should bear an intepretative clause touching this phase of the matter. 1 ' Mr. Davis warned that the en actment of the proposed law would interfere, with the movenim '. of trains, and such was the result. In states passenger and Pullman cars were searched. “We are npk to sue that the passage of this, act qijii be ex■■ ■ pec ted to gWI guiles' any.- ptore pow< r ‘riyef com-j merce than they..'flfe/jipw enjoy,’', said he. “Its 'pasdiFget# lias b -cn urged upon the ground that it in creases the scope of the search and seizure laws of prohibition' states and yould render possible the en tering of railroad trains and other vehicles in which the forbidden liquors might.be tpaHspixrieJ. eiUier ■‘done or ip; with, iwh-,.- articles of commerce. i “If such need is- tile effect of AWf'j law, we pr<‘3unrt'-nb ope would <!<--] sire to invest ’lociil state officer.?; charged with the enforcement of local laws with the right to halt; .rains carrying United State: mail.' or laden with legitimate articles of commerce.
