JAN. 16, 1930. URGES DRIVE TO PASS DRY LAWS IN EVERY TOWN Mass Enforcement Is Only Solution. Anti-Saloon League Told. Km Tjnifrtf Prt n- DETROIT. Jan. 16.—A nation •vide drive to pass municipal and village prohibition laws was urged by James K. Shields, in an address before the Anti-Saloon League's biennial national convention here today. Shields, superintendent of the New Jersey state league, spoke be fore the second session of the con vention, which opened Wednesday night. Prohibition can be enforced only, he said, by making enforcement agitation a movement of the masses. “For ten years,” he said, ‘‘we have been attempting to enforce the law by a method which begins at the top of the pyramid and works to vard the base. The great masses of the people, instead of operating themselves to enforce the law. have been operated upon. “Power eom r \s from the many, and from the standpoint of numbers alone, the weakness of the present ystem is apparent. The local po lice. whose beats cover our cities and villages like a network, feel but slightly, if at all, any responsibility for the enforcement of prohibition. “The federal courts and officials have been left practically alone to bear the burden of enforcement. Under such conditions the success of prohibition has been little short of marvelous. "Let each city and village pass an ordinance prohibiting the manu facture, sale and transportation of liquor, w T ith prompt penalties. “More will thus be accomplished In one year to make the 'noble ex periment,’ a success than all the in vestigating commissions of congress ran do in ten.” Shields said. Shields urged formation of dry organizations of “law enforcement leagues” in every city and village of the country, to demand that legis lative bodies pass prohibition ordi nances.

The record of 247 conventions, with a total attendance of 96,840 and an estimated direct revenue of $5,398,830 is expected to be increased this year, Henry 7 T. Davis, bureau manager, announced.
