DEMOCRATS IN MARYLAND WANT 1924 WET PLANK Declare Volstead Act Is ‘Departure’ From State’s' Rights, By WHENCE MARTIN. -i'lht. /.'*?.?. bit United Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.—The Democrats of Maryland, in convention assembled, have taken the lead and sounded the keynote for those elements in the Democratic party that will insist in 1924 that Volsteadism is a major issue upon which the Democratic party should take a bold and open stand in its national platform. They have thrown a heavy wet blanket upon the hopes of President Ccolidge and some of his advisers that Nation-wide State co-operation for prohibition enforcement can be attained through acceptance by all the States of full responsibility for local enforcement of the Volstead law. They have made Governor Ritchie of Maryland the spokesman of the "moderate wets.” who do not go so far as those of the A1 Smith school in New York in declaring against State participation in prohibition, but who demand full recognition of States’ rights. The Maryland Democrats did all this by writing into their State platform a plank which says: “The provisions of the Volstead act constitute a clear departure from this principle of government (State rights) and we believe appropriate steps should be taken by Congress to turn the subject back to the States/so that each State, within constitutional limitations, may have tije opportunity of settling it in accordance with the wishes of its own people: and until that time we believe that the Volstead act should be amended to permit the manufacture and sale of beer and light wines where permitted by local law.” This is an amplification of the position taken by the New York Legislature in its repeal of the State enforcement act. By its statement that Congress should act to turn the question back to the States, the Maryland platform seeks to make the question a direct and definiet issue in the 1924 congressional elections.

Has Crossed Rubicon The Governor made it plain he was in the fight until the finish. "I have crossed the Rubicon,” he said, “and it is a fight to the finish and this invisible empire ’shall not pass' in this State.” The Governor said every effort was being made to hamper his progress in the Klan fight. "I call upon ail the good people w T ho believe in the representative form of government immediately to assist us financially and make all remittances to Mrs. Aldrich Blake, Oklahoma City.” v Officials Alleged Members The testimony offered by the doctor included the ryunes of some following county officlaJs who were members of the Klan: J.
