Harris enter prises, Kaolin King, of Western North Carolina, Republican leader, and former Republican candidate for Coverncr of X:.rth Carolina, recently ) turned from a European trip, i throwing th: weight of his voiee and his inf lout nee in favor of the rtpen1 of the 18th Amendment. CjI. Hani, has us svirpnthy w'th what h" fc'ts as an effort to alllisn th.' Repuh'ioan party with the prohibitionists. "I inn confiditu Mint Xc^-th Caro'ina wi'l ?? wot", sail Col. Hams, in an r.nter veiw. Cal. Harris is not n ace.rd with the seht:ment of the diy iw.mbors of his party. He has no quarrel with his fellow Republicans, who are sepp<v* ing the drv cause but is somewhat as tounded that Republieans anywhere can support what is known ns pro hihition. "The Wehb-Kenyon an endinent' h a most unfortunate pieee. of legisla tion. If has changed the United States as a by-prrdue* of its influence, into the most eriininnl country in the world", d'clared Co'onel Harris. "In eomparing it with Italy a f w yearn ag? if", Col. HniVif continued, "I found that our homicide rate was 10 times wors" than theirs, and Ita'y used to b:? the \vo:?t cmntrv in K i > ' rope for homicides. 4,But it is a waste of time to dis cuss the meiits of prohibition; the I country has dec:ded by enormous ma- J jorities thai it is a failu'iv. " I have been surprised to learn that soni.' of o;iv Republican loaders are trying: lo tutu tin: Republican j>a? ty into a /'prohibition party'*, just what their idea may be I cr.n not understand lor it would: be the dead est issue that could possibly be s.'t leetrt!. It tvou'd plac.' the State *n the most awkward position possible. "There will doubtless be a minor prohibition party holding one or two percent of the total national vote a-.d thp r Ktuublicans. ncfeq. fesl way had better join it because they will be out ot line with the great No tional Republican organization. '*1 hope that all our broad ninded and thinking citizens cf both parties, both Republican and Democrat, will turn out in strength to see that repeal is carried through", said Col. Harris.
