Although it was known that Governor Smith was elected on a “‘wet’” platform, it was not generally believed that the state would go to the extremity of re- fusing to uphold the constitution. At prombition headquarters in Washington plans are already made to rush extra | enforceinent officers to deal with the | New York situation. It is predicted | that a larece number of the previous state enforcement officers will be taken | into the national force and continue their work under new masters. The 18th | amendment provides that the national | .government and the several states shall | have concurrent power to carry out its | provisions. But in a city like New York | it wiil be very difficult forthe national | enforcement officers to prevent the cireu- | lation of liquor if a large part of the | popuiation are backed by the legislature in opposing the law. - The Pathfinder, dlay 19th. VOLSTEAD FAVORS STRICT EN- ‘ FORCEMENT. ? Andrew Volstead, the former con- 7 gressman {rom Minnesota, thinks that | the probibition amendment would have | been functioning perieetly long ago if | d:wbreakers had not been dealt with too !
