that these figures were those they

Old arty Leaders Declared
Least Capable Since
Franklin Pierce
D. Leigh Colvin, Prohibition
candidate for vice president, totd
u i-'a Imi) audience last niht that
never since the election of Frank
lin Pierce have candidates for
the presidency been as incapable
or as unsatisfactory as are Sena
tor Harding and Ckivernor Cox.
He declared that the candidacies
of Harding and Cox represent the
last effort of the "wets' to retain
power, and asserted that the elec
tion of either would le to nullify
the public will relative to pro
hibition. Harding. Mr. Colvin said. ces
no moral issue in prohibition. He
quoted the senator from the con
gressional record. AIho he said
Harding offered in the senate to
support war time prohibition on
condition that the liquor inter
ests be compensated.
Cox. Colvin declared, is allied
with the wets, and was nominated
by Tammany..
"He belive3 in law enforce
ment with its teeth out," said
the speaker.
Nullification Feared.
Mr. Colvin mentioned four ways
in which he said the prohibition
movement could be nullified. One
was such a definition of "alco
holic content" as would permit
of light wines and beer. Another
was the delegation of power to
the states to decide what should
be alcoholic, content. The fhird
mentioned was withdrawal of ap
propriations for law enforcement,
and the fourth for the liquor in
terests, to gain control of the ad
ministration and dictate the ap
pointment of off iclais. particularly
toe attorney general and the com
missioner of internal revenue.
In analyzing the spirit that pre
dominated the conventions of the
two great parties, Mr. Colvin said
the wet interests ruled supreme
He pointed to the fact that nei
ther party incorporated a dry
lank in its platform. - Bryan was
quoted in support of the asser
tion that liquor interests wielded
a strong hand over the selection
of candidates. Bryan was quoted
as saying:
"The American people are
warned to impeach the incoming
president for failure to uphold
the constitution of the United
States. The American people
have that prerogative. The pres
ident of the United States may
be impeached if he fails to en
force the laws under the consti
tution, or any part of it. And
if the president fails to enforce
the 1 8th amendment, he Is not
upholding the constitution of the
United States and should be im
peached.'
Isue Kept Alive.
And ff William Jennings Bryan
warns the people to impeach an
incoming president, there is real
danger ahead, commented Mr.
Colvin.
Mr. Colvin is of the opinion
that prohibition is not a
dead)
issue, because it is already on the
constitution as an amendment,
that as long as enforcement of
the Volstead act remains as a law
with the people, prohibition wilt
be a live issue. He depNred the
fact that many people consider
prohibition as an issue not worthy
of consideration. . Such a con
dition n the United States be
characterized as aiding the liquor
interests.
Mr. 'Colvin characterized the
Prohibition party as the only
f party in the I'nited States with
a vision. To support his asser
tion he made the claim that the
last four amendments to the con
stitution of the United States
were first sponsored by the Pro
hibition party, and were later
considered worthy by the leading
political lartles.
