appeared that he had got himself in
deep by his delay to act( but now‘ he
has signed the bill. He stands on
good ground and the whole show
was well staged. '
Whether this decision is of national
importance to the future of prohibi-
tion remains to be seen. What eifect
it will have on the sentiment for or
against prohibition throughout the
country is problematical.
on the enforcement 'of‘ the Eight-
eenth Amendment and‘the Volstead
act in the state of New York is
not so involved. The enforcement
is now up to the government itself.
Governor Smith's strongest justifi-
cation for his action is that it will
prevent New York citizens from
twice being sent to jail for the one
and same identical oflense.

Dry Law Repealer
Governor A. N. Smith at five
afternoon announced
that he had signed the bill pro-
yesterday
viding for the repeal of the New
York state dry law.
This is one of the most mo-
mentous moves in the direction
of state rights since the CiViI
Law. Of course, it may be de-
clared unconstitutional by. a
federal court, but until such time
the old question of state sov-
ereignty comes to the forefront
with the standard of the state
apparently ahead of that of the
nation.
It will be remembered that the
legislature of Connecticut never
endorsed the Eighteenth Amend-
ment. So, perhaps some of its
members may at this time have a
brotherly feeling for Al. Smith.
In neighboring New York dur-
ing the past few weeks the whole
wet-dry battle was refought in
miniature. There was a marshal-
ing of forces. Both sides flung
their final waves of argument at
the Government on Thursday. The
women argued that Smith during
his campaign for election prom-
ised them a dry state Administra-
tion, representatives of the
Attorney General's office pleaded
against the measure because of
its negating force in respect to
the Volstead Law. Labor and the
wet campaigners in a body asked
for the Governor’s signature.
After listening carefully and
fully to both sides and studying
. the law as it applied to the
measure, the Governor aflixed his
signature to the Bill.
If he has followed his honest
convictions, Al. Smith is a brave
man, for such a storm of protest
as will descend upon him will
have fallen to the lot of few in
public life in this country.
Those who know Smith always
have spoken highly of his fear-
lessricss and honesty. He is a
typical product of New York.
Born on the lower East Side, he
fought his way up from the
humblest beginnings. After a
schooling in various municipal
offices, he graduated into the
service of the State.
During his first term as Gov-
ernor, Smith had hosts of friends
and an equal number of enemies.
Openly a Tammany man, he has
never been coated with any of
the mud of that organization.
Defeated for re-election, he calm-
ly went into business in New
York. Nominated a third time,
in the last e1ection,,lie swept the
state.
Some believe it inevitable now
that Smith will be the Democratic
candidate for the presidency in
the next national election. It is
still far too early to state this
with certainty. There are many
silent prospective nominees in
the field, all quietly gathering
their strength. .
A national convention is some-
thing _in the nature‘of a'four-
rug circus. There is no telling
what surprises it may hold in
store for, its country-wide audi-
ences. Usually far from the noise
of the bands and the shouting,
the serious work of the comma-
tion 18 done, and when the leaders
"have come to a decision, the
delegates are let in on it and
balloting settles the claims of the
rival candidates. There was no

HARDING LEADS
1N SM von:
Moves Ahead of Henry Ford
in Ballot Being Taken by-
Colliers Among Readers.
NEW YORK. June 2.—-President
Harding moved out in front of Henry
Ford this week in the Presidential
straw vote which “Collier's” is taking
among its readers.
53.703 votes have been cast. The
President now has 13.080 voles
against Ford's 21.379. McAdoo is
third with 5.002; Cox has 4.233 votes:
Johnson. 3.753. and Hughes. 3.453.
Governor Smith was brought out of
the shadows by 2,972 votes.
Three votes have been counted for
a woman—Judge Florence E. Allen of
Ohio. She is the only woman to have
been voted for thus far.
Mr. Taft still has one vote. It
came from Michigan.
“\Wiat it all means." says "Col-
ller's." "is as much a mystery as ever.
Harding's lead over Ford comes main-
ly from New England. New York.
New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He
has also won back his home state.
Ohio. and leads in Illinois and Color-
ado. Outside of Michigan (Ford 1,-
362; Harding. 8:4). Ford's biggest
pluralitics are in the Southern
States. He is still not far behind
Johnson plus Harding in California.
and is so far ahead or his rivals in
so many doubtful states that politi—
cians will have plenty to worry about.
He is the favorite. for instance. in In-
diana. Maryland. Michigan and Ken-
tucky.
"What do the Ford votes mean?
Are they Democratic votes. as the re-
turns from the South might indicate.
or are they just as apt to be Repub-
lican votes? Or do they come from
voters who are not only disgusted
with both parties. but with our politi-
cal system generally? Rock-ribbed

gave Ford 49 to 9 for Harding.
"One of the big surprises of the
canvass is the apparent lndorsement
of President Harding and the rela-
tive weakness of the Republican in-
surgents. Does this mean that there
is loss 'Progrcsslve' sentiment than
was supposed or that the Progressives
have stampeded. not to La Foliette and
Borah but to Ford?
“About half of the 63,703. it seems.
have voted for known Republicans.
including the insurgents. and the oth-
er half are about equally divided be.
tween known Democrats and Mr.
Ford. One might guess from this
that Mr. Ford's votes are Democratic
and that there is little danger of the
Republicans losing Republican votes
in the event of his nomination by the
other party. One might guess this.
but it would be only a guess.
“However inexplicable the other
features are. there is one result of tho
canvass to date which no one can fail
to notice. A surprisingly large num-
ber of our readers want one particu-
lar man for President. An equally
surprising number want a man who
is in every way as diiferent from him
as any American could be. Mr. Hard-
ing fairly symbolizes normalcy. Mr.
Ford symbolises innovation. Mr.
Harding is political by nature and by
training: he is regular and parliamen-
tary in thought. word and deed. Mr.
Ford is probably the greatest anni-
hilator of tradition and red tape
which modern civilization has pro-
duced.
"Harding and Ford ran neck and
neck last week. They are neck and
neck today. If it should happen that
