AL’ SMITH FAVORS MODIFIED DRY LAW, Would Legalize Light Wines and Beer New York IFor the first time since June 9. he became an avowed can- didate for the democratic nomination for Alfred $mith yesterday expressed I f in pressident, Governor favor of revision of the Volstead act to allow states that were so disposed to legalize the sale of light wines and He also said-he believed the Ku “contrary to the very which this country beer. Kiux Klan to be principles upon was founded.” The governor a letter to D, New York, chairman of tk termination League of Liberty, Mr. Browne had written to ask the gov- ernor where he stood on the prohibi- tion gquestion and what he thought of the reported efforts of the governor's friends to prevent the insertion of an Anti-Ku Kilux Klan plan in the dem- ocratic platform, The governor said he favored hav ing congress fix a minimum of alco- holic content *“based upon science and round reasoning,” allowing each state to establish for itself whatever alco- holic content it chose so long as it did not overstep the Iimit set in the Bational law, e clause making one-half of one per cent the legal maximum of alco- helic content, the governor said, “was written into the Volstead act by the Anti-Saloon league agents, to whom 1 referred as ‘fanatical drys' 1 have not changed my attitude towards them any more than I have towards the ‘fanatical wets'.” Present Attitude Hypocritical “I maintain that the present hypo- critical attitude towards the whole question of prohibition woul§ be greatly relieved,” wrate the governor, “by having congress fix a maximum alcoholic content based upon science and sound reasoning, thereafter leav- ing every state to enact any statute it pleases with regard to regulation of the traffic in light wines and beer with that alcoholic content, so that the state that desires strict prohibition may have it, and the state that de- sires light wines and beer within the aleoholic content prescribed by con- gress may also have what it desires, “A reasonable and practicable change in the Volstead law which would honestly serve the cause of temperance would make a valuable contribution to public action against hard liquor, which is undoubtedly put under the ban by the language of the eighteenth amendment, “Of course you undarstand that this In the expression of my individual opinfon, any amendment to the sta. tutes ean he made only by the people themselves through their elected rep- resentatives in the congress of the United States, By the People “The amount of light wines and heer to be sold in states that chose to legalize the traffic, as well as the manner and media of their ey'e, should be left to the states them- selves,” sald the governor, ““The state might well say that it could be sold only for consumption in the home, or it might well say it would be sold only in properly regulated hotels and res. taurants, The New York state act of 1920 (which permitted the sale of beverages of 2 per eent, of alco- holic content) was very strong In its Janguage as to the places where wine and beer could be sold and made im possible the opening of the saloon,” Saloon Has Gone Forever Whatever alcoholie strength s made legal in future, the saloon has gone for good, the governor belleves, He referred to a memorandum that he issued when he signed the bill re- pealing the “Mullan-Gage act,” the New York state prohibition law which followed the lines of the Volstead act, and added: “T repeat the declaration I therein made that the saloon is and ought to be a defunct Institution in this country. I never expect to see it again.” Always FPor Law Enforcement The governor asserted he had al ways favered strict enforcement of all laws, and that he had obtained last winter a substantial increase state police foree to suppress viola Hons of the Volstead act.
