That part of his message refering to the prohibitory law and its enforcement is as follows! "Relatively (and every thing is relative in this world) the prohibi tory policy has been a great success in this st.ite. It has been a great benefit educationally, morally and financially to the people.

The governor can only enforce law with law. I have some matured thoughts as to what you should do in this matter, but will not make specific recommendations at this time. Bills cov.u-ing the subject will be submitted for your approtal having the endorsement of the administration, and I doubt not will receive your careful consideration."
