FORD WOUL ENTER RACE Thanks Savannah People for Circulating’ Presidential Petition in His Behalf; Raises no SAVANNAH, Ga., ing been forwarded to Ford has r tition: “In view of the interest displayed, Mr. objection to their in this direction.” The letter follows: Mr. BP. 8. Fuller, 106 West Julian, Savanah, Ga. “Dear Sir: “Your. letter of June 12, together with petition bearing various names of your citizens urging Mr. Ford to permit his name to be used in the 1924 candidacy for president, re- ceived. “In view of the interest displayed, Mr, Ford can have no objection to their further activities in this direc- tion. Thanking you for your inter- est, we are, “ Your very truly, E. G. Liebold, “General Secretary to Henry Ford." PRESIDENT SAYS U.S. WILLBE DRY (Continued from Page One.) very sure also, so far as concerns the very gréat majority of tne state gov- ernments and the local governments, it will be enforced. And gratifying, in- deed it may fairly be said, an amaz- ing progress has been made in the last few years toward better enforce- ment.” ‘While Mr. Harding made no direct @eference to the situation in New Work state, he did say that “the spectacle” of a state nullifying its own authority, and asking the nation- al sovereignty to take over an im- portant part of its powers, is new.” He added that “when the implication of this strange proposal are fully un- derstood by people and parties de- voted to preserving the rights of the states, the new nullificationists, venture to say, will discover that they have perpetrated what is likely to prove one of the historic blunders in political management.” The president disclosed that a good deal of testimony !s reaching Wash- ington that some states having pro- hibition enforcement codes and even some awhich successfully enforced “dry” laws before national prohibition are “disposed to abdicate their own police authority in this matter and to turn over the burden of prohibition enforcement to the federal author- ities.” i “Doubtless,” he said, “this is largely due to a misconceived notion, too, widely entertained, that the federal government has actually taken over the real responsibility. The fact is Guite the contrary. The federal gov. ernment is not equipped with the in- strumentalities to make enforcement locally effective. It does not maintain either a police or a judicial establish- ment adequate to or designed for such a task. If the burden of enforcement shall continue to be increasingly thrown upon the federal government, it will be necessary, at large expense, to create a federal police authority which in time will inevitably come to be regarded as an instrusion upon and interference with the right of local authority to manage local con- cerns. The possibilities of disaster in guch a situation hardly need to be suggested. Yet it {s something that we must recognize as among the Mmenaces in this situation. “The, federal government ought to perform, in connection with the en- forcement of this policy, those func- tions which are obviously within its Proper province. These are compll- ence in all its aspects as it relates to international commerce, the tmporta- tion @ exportation of liquors, the collection of federal revenue, the Prevention of smuggling, and in gen- eral the enforcement of the law within the proper realm of federal author- ity. But the business of local enforce- ment by states and cities, ought to be An the hands of the state and local ‘authorities, and it should be executed n_ all sincerity and good faith, as other laws are presumed to be exoe- cuted. “What I am saying must not be construed as indicating any re!axation of the national government’ to do its full duty in t further activities 4 RURAL RESIDENTS ENTITLED TO HIGHER STANDARDS OF LIVING CHICAGO, June 25.—(By The Asso- ciated Press)—The American farmer should lve according to the same standards of life as prevail for city workers and should receive the same monetary compensation for his day's work as the urban worker, Governor J, A. O. Prous of Minnesota, ald in opening the National Wheat confer- ence here, composed of representa- tives of aj! branches of the industry. Manufacturers, millers, elevator men and allied industries, in addition to numerous farmers’ organization, were Tepresented at the gathering.

But I am pointing out that this.| Ought not to be made necessary. ‘The | national policy ought to be supported by the public opinion and the admin. istrative machinery of the whole country. For myself, I am confident that we are passing now through the most difficult stage of this matter, nd ‘that as time passes there will be @ more and more willing acceptance by authorities everywhere of the un- alterable obligation of law enforce ment. The country and the nation will not permit the law of the land to be made a byword. “Tt is @ curious illustration of loose thinking, that some people have pro- posed, as a means to protecting the fullest rights of the states, that the states should abandon their part in enforcing the prohibitory policy. That means simply an invitation to the federal government to exercise powers | which should be exercised by the! states. Instead of being an assertion | of state rights, it is an abandonment of them; it is an abdication; it amounts to a confession by the state that it doesn’t choose to govern it. mons today that there was no waters by officials of the U statement was in answer to recognized America's right to break the seals of liquor aboard ships. | Mr. Baldwin said it was the practice fix their seals as a matter of routine| on dutiable ship stores taken from England in bond, to prevent cosump- tion of the stores in territorial waters The seals must not be broken in British territorial waters but other:| wise they are in no way inviolable were habitually broken when nece: sity arose, in British territorial waters. MORE WET LINERS DOCK AT GOTHAM. NEW YORK, June Associated Pre: Miners steamed into port today while the United States government offi-| clals were preparing to move on six other vessels which had docked over the week end with liquor transported over the three mile limit in deflance of the treasury department's dry rul- ing. The latest arrivals were the Anchor liner Tuscania and the French liner Suffren. The schedule today called for re- moval of liquor from the Cunarder Berengaria, which arrived Fride and whose seals were smashed late Saturday afternoon. Then dry agents planned to take up the case of the | other week-enders, the Paris, Cedric.
