N. Y. Repeal of Dry Law Worry ~ J J to President Declares It's Likely to Result n Conflict Between State and Federal Au thorities. Newburg, N. Y., May 1G.—"rtepeal of state prohibition enforcement sta tute w ill be likely to result in more or less conflict between state and feder al authorities,'1 in the opinion of President Harding. The views of the president were expressed in a letter to Wesley Wait of this city, made public today. A bill passed by the legislature repealing the act is await ing action by Governor Smith. Mr. AVait wrote to the president urging that If Governor Smith would sign the bill congress should lie con vened and that the governor and mem bers of the legislature who voted for the hill should be suspended. “Every state ofticial who voted for this bill is subject to the law of trea son, having taken the oath to sus tain the constitution of the United titates,11 Mr. AValt's letter said. In reply President Harding wrote: Fully in Accord. 1 Pending the approval of the Cuvil lier bill by Governor Smith this mat ter is hardly to be regarded as hav ing reached the stage where any fed eral authority is called upon for a determination of national policies AA'ith much of what you say I am Clogged-Up Liver Causes Headache It’a foolish to suffer from constipation, sick headache, biliousness, dizziness, indigestion, and kin dred ailments when Conor’s [rADTCDT Little Liver vAK I ELK O mis win end JMITTLE all misery is ^ H j \/ F R a few hours.

Mr. I.incoln said at | the time when slavery was still a recognized, established and accepted in stitution throughout a considerable part of the union that the nation could not exist half slave and half free. That expression has been ac cepted ever since as presenting the obvious and conclusive logic of the situation which then confronted the union. Certainly it would have been still more impressive if (here had been at that, time a constitutional provision against slavery as there Is now a constitutional provision against the liquor traffic. law of Hie l.and. “The nation has deliberately, after litany years of consideration, adopted the present policy which is written into the JSth amendment. It is law of the land and in every state In the union. So long as it remains the national policy there can bo only one course for the national government to pursue. That is to use every means to make effective the law passed in compliance with this constitutional mandate. To do this will be the un questioning policy of the present ad ministration, and I may add that I am firmly convinced that it must be the policy of the administration that shall come hereafter. “The executive of Ihe nation, and equally the executives of the states, are sworn to enforce the constitution. It. is difficult to believe that public approval will ever be given to any other than a policy of fully and liter ally discharging this duty. It does not seem fitting, however, to enter upon a discussion of a situation which has not yet arisen. It Will be ob vious that many complex and ex tremely difficult situations must arise if any of the states shall decline to assume their part of the responsi bility of maintaining the constitution and the laws enacted in pursuance of it. The states are equipped with police organizations and judicial es- j tablishments adequate to deal with j Mich problems. The federal govern ment is not thus equipped. “t venture that if by reason of the j refusal or failure of any state to dis charge its proper duty in such con- | nection the federal government is at | length compelled to enter upon the j territory and jurisdiction of the state, j and to set up those police and judicial j authorities which would be required, j tlie most difficult and trying situa- i tions would inevitably arise. More or [ less conflict between state and federal [ authorities would seem unavoidable in such circumstances. The impres sion would lie created that the fed eral government was assuming to in terfere with the functions of the states, and the distressing results that would ensue readily suggest them selves.” Daugherty to Quit, According to Rumor Atty.

Mr. Daugherty was President Hard , lng’s strongest supporter for the. nomination at the republican national j convention and managed his pre-con vention campaign. 4.000-Barrcl ‘’Gusher'’ Is Brought In on Naval Reserve ; Washington.
