Wilson On Volstead'
It is somewhat difficult to keep
straight the' record ol our Presidents
on prohibition. What Lincoln thought
?of it is still a matter of controversy,
?and even the views- of a President so
recently passed from the scene as
Wood row Wilson have been disputed
by some persons in the present, cam
paign. However, extracts from the
book written by Mr. Wilson's secre
tary. Mr. Tumulty, entitled "Wood
row Wilson As I Knew Him " leaves
no room for question as to where the
late President whose devotion to mor
al advancement is proverbial, stood on
this question. Referring to Volstead
-ism. Mr. Tumulty wrote:
The President clearly foresaw
the inevitable reaction that would
follow its passage and its en
forcement throughout the country. .
As the days of the San Francisco
convention approached he felt that
It was the duty of the Democrat
ic party frankly to speak out re
garding the matter and Iboldly
avow its attitude toward the un
reasonable features of the Vol
stead enforcement act. * * ? So
deep were his convictions about
this vital matter that it was his
mtention. shortly- atfer the. pas
sage of the Volstead act over his
veto, to sead a special message
to Congress regarding the mat
ter, asking for the Repeal of the
Vdlstead act and the passage of
legislation permitting the irtanu
facture and <ale of light wines, or
-at least modification of the Vol
stead act changing .the alcoholic
content of beef,
The message vas not. sent to Con
gress. it is-explained, because cf the

WILL ROGERS Says:
Well the Campaign is degenerat

It started/out to be honorable. It
was a noble experiment but it just
dident bring home any soup bones.'
At first we was all hearing so many
Whispers that it ? began to look like
everybody that spoke to you had lost
their voice. We layed it to bad colds
for a while, then we discovered that
everybody couldent have Phenomina
