LEAGUE FAVORS EXECUTIVE FOR MANAGER POST Bitter Political Battle Foreseen for Nov. 5 City Elections. By ELVIN V. O’NEEL Whether an Indianapolis man or a trained expert from some other city will be chosen city manager in 1930 Is likely to become one of the leading issues in the Nov. 5 election of city commissioners, it appeared today. Selection of a trained governmental expert who is a capable administrator probably will be favored by the Indianapolis City Manager league. Although the league has not gone on record in the matter of selecting a manager under the new form, which becomes effective in January, 1930, it is known that several leaders of the movement favor such a plan. The commission will select the manager. An executive familiar with the business-like principles of city manager government would take the po6t without “strings,” while a local official would “be bound more or less” by local contacts and political associates, the manager leaders point out. Experiences of other cities has proved that selection of a competent official from another city is more satisfactory in carrying out the nonpartisan principles of the manager form, manager advocates believe. In most successfully operated manager governments a competent engineer ! or executive has been chosen. Local party leaders are expected to form a coalition in an effort to put over a bipartisan ticket according to early campaign talk. It is believed that the local bipartisan ticket supporters will use the "home rule” argument as a means of getting votes. Politicians are opposed to the bringing in of an outsider to operate the government and likely will use the “home pride” appeal to draw votes. Early indications are that the Nov. 5 election to choose seven commissioners to inaugurate the manager government, which was adopted by 6-1 popular vote in 1927. will be one of the most bitter political battles in Indianapolis in recent years. 'Manager league leaders have been working quietly for months and have collected a mass of data to be used in combating the propaganda of the political machines.

HAD TERRIBLE GAS AND STOMACH PAINS Says He Eats Anythin? Now, and Has Pep and Health. People who are suffering from the pangs of stomach trouble and Indigestion, will be glad to read how Frank Baker, 625 Keasley St., South Bend, quickly overcame these agonizing afflictions. He writes as follows: “Since over a year ago, I have had a bad case of stomach trouble that just wore me out. I had sick spells that left me weak, dizzy and nervous. My appetite was very poor, sad after meals the food would not digest, but felt like a rock in the pit of my stomach. I had burning pains in my stomach. I could not sleep at night even though I was all tired out. In the morning, I got up feeling weaker and worse than when I went to bed. I lost weight and had no pep at all. The first and only relief came when I started taking Viuna. Almost at once I began to get well. I took it regularly and soon felt like a different man. The bilious attacks and burning pams stopped, my appetite came back, and my digestion improved wonderfully. I can eat heartily again with no gas, and no rock-like sensation in my stomach. My nerves are steady, I sleep splendidly every night, and feel full of pep when I get up. Life sure looks different for me since I got back to health, and I’m mighty thankful to Viuna.” Viuna has worked wonders in thousands of desperate cases of kidney trouble, back-ache, stomach trouble and rheumatism.

Nation Can Enforce Dry Law, Declares Mrs. Willebrandt, Center the Responsibility, Her Remedy; Local Officials Must Co-operate to Make Prohibition Succeed. In this article Mrs. Wlllebrandt, ad mittinc that prohibition is not being effectively enforced at present, states exactlv what she thinks must be done to heal the sores. She handles without gloves the situation as shee sees it. BY MABEL WALKER WILLEBRANDT. (Copyright. 1929. by Current News Features, Inc. All rights for publication reserved throughout the world.) “-Y7-OU admit that liquor is being sold in large quantities throughout JL the country," a Western lawyer said to me recently, “and you do not claim that it is much harder for a man who wants a drink to get it now that it was eight years ago, though millions and millions of dollars have been spent for enforcement. And if you still contend that the law can be enforced, how in h—- do you propose to enforce it?” I think that is a perfectly fair question. Prohibition is NOT being enforced effectively. I have stated some of the reasons. Because the prohibition law is being violated, often with and by connivance and collusion of public officials, we are told by antiprohibition organizations and by many newspapers that anew and alarming threat to our whole system of government has been created by the eighteeth amendment. I will not argue this, other than simply to call attention to the undisputed fact that in the days of the open saloons and local state option, there were countless violations of the laws regulating the liquor traffic.

The difference is that regulation was attempted with utter failure over a period of more than a century, while enforcement of the national prohibition act had less than ten years’ trial. Another anti-prohibitionist said to me recently: “You are retiring from office after eight years' futile attempt to enforce an unenforceable law. Why not be honest and admit enforcement is impossible?” My answer to that was and is that all my experience tends to strengthen the belief that the prohibition law is enforceable. It is an enforceable as any other law was in its early stages. I know of no law that is not violated frequently. A law is a failure not when there are frequent violations, but when it fails tp protect society as a whole against destructive forces. The mere fact that prohibition closed 178,000 saloons is the outstanding proof of prohibition worth. Even if proof could be adduced that for these saloons were substituted 178.000 bootleggers, or even 278,000 bootleggers, there would in my estimation still be justification for prohibition. No one seriously will contend that bootleggers are selling as much liquor as the saloons. No one will seriously contend that the majority of people approve or fail to condemn the business of bootlegging. The sale of intoxicating liquor not only has been outlawed by law, but in the hearts and minds of the majority of the people of America.

That one fact makes it possible to say with assurance that prohibition can be enforced. But how? I shall now state as definitely and precisely as possible some of the measures necessary to make prohibition enforcement really effective. In the first place, let me deny that there is anything very complicated or intricate about the problem of enforcement of the prohibition law. The task of enforcing that law is in its essentials as simple as that of enforcing any other law. There is just one way to bring about enforcement. That way is to definitely establish personal responsibility for enforcement. The failure of prohibition enforce-

ment, its lack of effectiveness so far, is due very largely to failure definitely to center personal responsibility. Every law, whether applying to a single village or the whole nation, must be locally enforced to be effective. I am not seeking by this statement to relieve the federal government of any responsibility for enforcement. of the prohibition law. Every speech I made in the last presidential campaign was directed to driving home to the people the realization that the President of the United States almost can “make or break” the Constitution, not only with respect to prohibition enforcement, but enforcement of the other laws enacted under federal authority, the anti-trust laws, the pure fcx>d laws, the laws for the protection of men employed by railroads in interstate commerce, etc. If the President (and I am speaking in general terms now and not of any particular President) is of such a disposition or temperament that he avoids conflict, or endeavors to assure his own re-election by incurring the favor of politicians controlling state delegations, he can make prohibition enforcement difficult or ineffective. He can appoint unfit federal judges, district attorneys, marshals, and other officers of the law. He can fail to remove from office men who deliberately have violated their pledge to enforce all laws, including the prohibition law. He can appoint to or retain in office men only half-hearted or incompetent in the administration of the prohibition law. The President appoints the heads of the various principal departments of the government, including the secretary of the treasury, who has general supervision over the prohibition unit. Furthermore, the President appoints the attorney general, who supervises the United States district attorneys through the country in prosecutions under the prohibition law and other federal statutes. An indefinite or hostile or incompetent attorney general can prevent effective enforcement of

the prohibition or anti-trust law, or any other federal law of importance. The responsibility goes back to the President, in the final analysis. No official in Washington, however, not even the President, can enforce the prohibition law or any other law throughout the United States, without local co-operation. The President, acting through his attorney general, may appoint an honest, sober, competent district attorney in one of the larger cities of the country, but if the people in that city are indifferent to thenobligations to vote, to keep or make the municipal and state governments honest and efficient, the United States attorney will be hampered and thwarted in his efforts to enforce the law. It is impossible for a comparatively small force of federal prohibition agents to do the work of local police in small bootlegging cases, and when all such cases are diverted to the limited number of federal courts, with only one or two judges in a large district, jury trials can not be had for months or even years. This enables bootleggers to continue operations even while under indictment.

HULL REGARDED LOGICAL CHOICE FORJENATOR Rumor Tennessee Governor May Appoint Self for Position. Bn Scripps-Howard .Vet cspaper Allianci WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—Representative Cordell Hull, former chairman of. the Democratic national committee and candidate for president last year, was looked upon as the most logical successor to Senator Lawrence D. Tyson, who died unexpectedly Saturday. Hull’s name was the most frequently mentioned among the congressmen speculating as to who, might be appointed by Governor Horton of Tennessee in Tyson's place. In some quarters it was said that

Horton might appoint himself and then resign the governorship, a move for which there are several precedents in other states. Tyson's term does not expire until March 4, 1931 and whoever is named to fill out his unexpired term must seek re-election next year if he hopes to retain the office. Two other congressmen are given prominent mention as possibilities. Representatives Joseph Byms and Gordon Browning. Byms was said to have considered announcing as an opponent of Tyson, who had already stated he would seek re-elec-tion when death intervened. Luke Lea, former senator and Tennessee publisher, is being boomed by friends, although It is said here that he will not accept if tendered the position. Tyson’s death will have no effect
