Mayor Dover, of Chicago, again testified licfore the Senate Committee and criticised some judges who do not believe in prohibition. He said in some, sections of the country which do not believe in the law even the judges refuse to enforce it. If that is the case in certain sections of Chicago, there are wards in which no man can be elected 'if he favours the Volstead Act.
Mr Dover complained that prohibition was too absorbing a topic, and said: "Our attention is engrossed in it from morning until night. It is almost impossible to give good government when we arc immersed in this question, ft takes up too much of our time." General Lincoln Andrews, prohibition chief, again testified. He stated the satisfactory application of the law cannot be fully effective until Congress adopts the legislation which he has proposed. General Andrews claimed that the coastguard made liquor running unprofitable, and he hoped to make illicit manufacture the same.
