4 | DRYS WOULD IMPEACH U. S. JUDGES VIOLATORS ‘CODDLED’ IS CHAR OF LEAGUE Threats Are Voiced at Conference of| Leaders Held in Washington, D. C.; i (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—A committee was appointed at the. Anti-Sdloon League conference here today to draft a resolution warning federal judges that unless) they “‘sacredly perform _ their sacred duties” In enforcing the prohibi- tion laws, the league will seek their impeachment. The committee was named by Rev. Pp, A. Baker, general superintendent of the league, after the speakers’ confer- ence had vigorously criticised federal judges for alleged laxity in meting out punishment to those convicted for via lation of the prohibition amendment and enforcement of the law. Charges were made that some federal judges had “‘coddled bootleggers and moon- shiners” and that the prohibition laws were being made a “farce’’ in some sections by light punishment. 2 5 Raa SOC COX TO SWING INTO UTAH ON | WESTERN TRIP (By Associated Press.) POCATELLO, Sept. 15.—Governor James M, Cox has opened his campaign here. today with an. 8 o'clock {speech preliminary tor» pekiood 2 in “Utah. “Arriving” here from Boise, where he spoke last night, the presiden- tial candidate addressed another early | present from ail over southern ment and has been so for years. Senator Borah was in good voice and fine physical condition and made an earnest appeal, His address was con- fined largely to a discussion of the deague of Nations covenant. In part he said: “The position of the two old parties upon the most vital issue of the cam- paign is now plain and unmistakable; and apne is as to the principle upon which a League of Nations is. to be built. Both candidates may be, for all I know, in fayor of some kind of a league. As to that, I do not assume to-speak for anyone but myself, But as to the basis upon which the league, if we are to have one, is to rest there is a fundamental and frreconcilable dif- ference between the candidates. “The president has said, and with resolution maintained, that Article XxX is the heart of the proposed league. In this it seems to me he is entirely cor- rect. Without Articles X and XI the Present league would fall apart or be- come merely an incoherent combination of ‘impracticable suggestions. Gover- nor Cox has declared himself to be in complete accord with the president ani to Article X. Senator Harding de- clares his unalterable objection to Ar- ticle X—for the reason that it repre- sents not justice but force, not liberty. but oppression, not peace but war. If Governor Cox is elected he will use all his great powers as president to commit us to Article X. If Harding is elected, whatever else happens or does not hap- pen as to a league, Article X is to be eliminated. ‘The issuo is plain, clear eut and stupendous. No graver ques- tion has been submitted to the Ameri- can electorate since thé organization of the government. Beside this question all other auestions in the campaign are subordinate and incidental. ————»—_——$—.
