It is not the aim of the league, he said, to attempt to take over law- enforcement work, but to encourage ‘the law. Other objects of the league are to present an organized channel through rgenizations interest- ed in prol jan enforcement may present their views on the subject with regard to legislation ‘and to launch a determined campaign de- .
