As on other subjects, he stated his no- sition squarely. “We are in a time which calls for straight thinking, straight talking and jstraight acting,” he said. “It is no | time for wobbling.” In position, the league question led the candidate’s address and to it he devoted three thousand’ words of the} 10,000-o0dd ‘total. The prohibition amendment and Vol-| stend law were not specified in the} addgess, but Governor Cox promised| emphatically strict law enforcement. | “The constitution,” he said, “is the license and limitation given to and placed upon the Jawmaking body. The legislative branch of government is {aubiected to the rule of the mafority. ‘he public official who fails to enforce) the law is dn enemy both’ 49 the consti- tution and to the American principle of majority rule. It would seem un- nécessary for any candidate for the presidency to say that he does not in- tend to violate his oath of office.

Hundreds thronged the streets until’ after mid- night expecting further rioting. CALL FOR U. 8. TROOPS FOLLOWS SECOND RIOT.
