Here is the thrill of the subterranean haunts of a great city, the crooks, the cops, the up- right and the mean. The subject {s the spectacular areer of a southern girl who comes to the great city to free her brother from the clutch of an underworld gang who lave caused his sentence to death.

He declared it was a local issue. Gov. Smith pointed out the Antl- Saloon league planned to raise $5,- 000,000 for their work during the coming five years. He raised the question why the forces opposed to {prohibition did not have just as {much right to organize. The governor discussed point for point a resolution that the Nassau county branch of the league plan- ned to submit for a vote of the con- vention today. Discussir section on respect for law and enforcement, the governor said, “enforcement of law and obedience fo law are the very cor- nerstone of the governmental struc- ture.” Gov. Smith read a ion*of the lution saying that the Volstead and the was “openly attucked.” “What's wrong about that?" asked the speaker. “Is there any reason why the opposition to these acte should not organize? 1s there any question about the solidity, or the force or the effectiveness of the or- nization in their favor?” “In all my years as a public of- ial, I have taken oaths to sustain the constitution of this state, and there arve parts of it that I hate. But L promised to sustain it and I will sustain it. But I do not promise to | give up the right to oppose the parts of it 1 do not like." | Tn reply to r tion of “nullifica- tion,” the governor said, “I have no | inowledge of anyone in publie life who is preaching that. 1f there is ny such case, 1 should like to ha some specifications from the Nassau | lelegation of the League of Women | Voters. Certainly T have not preach- | ed nullification.” s P The governor said that the enact- | ment of a state prohibition enfore ment law simply was putting an- other duplication in the statute | books. He said that since the Mul- | lan-( act became ineffective, liquor violators hiad been prosecuted | in the federal courts and had re- ceived more severe sentences than previously. Smith told how hie attended a con- ference in the White House in 1922, at which- prohibition was discyssed by the governors as- sembled. He said he was one of only {two men at the conference who had gone home and conferred with their | enforcement official | “Ior Volstead act as a sub- | jeet for discussion to be carried on | at the state capitol,”” Smith said. hat discussion was ended as far the people of this state are con- cerned in 1920 when the government said ‘Keep your hands off’." The governor said all the laws necded were now on the statute books and that there was no need for cnactment of a new state prohi- bition enforcement law, as some of the women had suggested.
