Gov. Pincnot »as rov intimated that he has any Iintention of contesting the nomination with President Coolidge. But at the same time he has not taken advantage-of opportunities pre- sented to him to declare himself out of the running. The first impulse of politicians will be to construe his ac- tion of yesterday as indicative of the probability that he may soon be an avowed candidate. Tn political circles today it was suggested that he will be forced to say something pretty on on account of the speculation to his course vhich wiil inevitably follow his d reet drive upon President Coolldge in holding him personally responsible for better enforcement of the prohi- bition law by fgderal authorities. was argued that he will flu1 himseif in an equivoca) position until he de- ares hims y or another. The politic say steps Into the ring the way will be open for other potential candidates to follow suit, and that it may be ex- pected they will promptly start a back-fire against the Keystone state candidate. Senator Johnson, Senator Borah, Senator Watson of Indiana, former Gov. Lowden of Illinols and any other aspiring statesmen may el relieved of the tacit understand- ng that President Coolidge should be allowed “to make good,” which has prevailed. and put themselves into the running. So_the possibilities are considered ample for interesting developments in the political world if Gov. Pinchot “smoked out” as a.result of the stand he took yesterday and forced to declare himself as a candidate for the nomination. L Right to Dry Issue. It was pointed out today that if Gov. Pinchot is in fact intent upon becoming a cahdidate for the nomina- tion he has not necessarily “made a killing” in his pronouncement for en- forcement of the prohibition law. He has no monopoly upon that as 2 cam- palgn issue. Every other potentlal candidate,~immediately upon entering the field, would declare himself as a stanch upholder of law enforcement and would thereby make a grab for Gov. Pinchot's candy. He could not do anything else and would at once be entitled to claim that he had as good a right to that issue as Gov. Pinchot. The suggestion was heard that Gov. Pinchot is foredoomed- to fail to real- ize on his pronouncement as a per- sonal and private monopoly, and that even if he could it would mot offset the liability he is bound to carrygs being a citizen of Pennsylvania. The republican party, it was said, does not have to solicit Pennsylvanla's vote by glving that state the presi- dential nomination. The party already has it totted down in its own column in the electoral college. When the republican national con- vention comes to the nomination of a candldate for the presidenoy it will listen to words of political wisdom from a group of hard-headed elder statesmen of the party who will take into account all 'political considera- tions, it was sald. To be sure, there will be in the convention delegates elected in the primaries and Gov. Pinchot may be counting on making his campaign in the primary states, but even at that, it was suggested, how can he expect to claim their vote on the ground of law enforcement? The principal consideration of in- terest at this hour is that the Penn- sylvanla governor in his address of yesterday may be sald to have “start- ed something” in presidential can- didatorial polities.

Presentation of a plan for a na- tion-wide educational campaign in the interests of law enforcement and prohibition was made to the Citizen- |ship Conference, meeting in the Raleigh ballroom this morning, by Rey, Samuel Z. Batten, chairman of the educational policy committee of the conference. This report will be discussed, and it is expected adopted later today. It gives definite assurance that the movement for law enforcement, ini- tiated in the Citizenship Conference, will be continued actively. The delegates to the conference were recefved by President Coolidge at the White House at noon - The delegates were introduced the President by Fred B. Smith of New York, chairman of the confer- ence, and the President expressed t. executive committee his interest in the conference and the purpose for which it was called. He mentionel the governors' conference next Satur- day at which the subject of law en- forcement will. be consldered. The work of the citizenship conference, the President said, would be made use of in the coming governors' confer- ence. Chairman Smith told the President that the conference beliaved in him and his desire to enforce the Jaw. “Radical changes in court pro- cedure and method are necessary to enforcement of the law,” the com- mitte on educational policy declared in its report today. Urges Famfly Discipline. “Beyond this,” the report added, “there must be some thoroughgoing changes in family life and discipline. Too often family discipline has sadly relaxed.” Asserting that for many months moving picture films have contained many flings at prohibition, the com- mittee suggested that there conference with the moving picture producers in an effort to obtain the elimination of “all scoffing at pro- hibition as bad form and unpatriotic; the creation of films of scenes de- picting the benefits of total ab- stinence and the importance of re- specting all laws.” “It is vitally important.” the report continues, “that there be a compre- hensive and persistent campaign to change the ideas and customs of so- | cloty with reference to the use of | alcoholic liquors. In some groups it is regarded as 5ood form or even as half-heroic to circumvent the law and to use alcoholie liguors; and this even among those who pride themselves on their culture and soclal standing.

Oyster Promises Action. Commissioner Oyster declared this afternoon that he would thoroughly inquire into any charges made against members of the police depart- ment by prohibition enforcement of- ficers. The Commissioner has not received any such counter-charges since he filed complaint more than two weeks agp against certain prohibition offi- cers. He let it be known, however, that if any complaints are made against his men they will be care- fully sifted to the bottom. The regular procedure in the po- lice department is to try before a board, composed of an assistant cor- poration counsel and two police cap tains any member of the force against whom sworn charages are filed. Whether this procedure will be followed or whether a special board would be called upon in case counter- charges are recelved is not likely to be decided until the situation comes up. U. S.
