Election After thirty years of belief in the virtue of prohibition and labor for the establishment and enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment and Volstead act, Dr. Katherine Be ment "Davis, New Jersey's foremost sociologist, has denounced prohibition as vicious and unenforceable and to-day is a volunteer in. the ranks of those who will back Dwlght W. Morrow for the U. S.

Senate from New Jersey. Regarding her change of attitude toward prohibition, Dr. Davis said: "I would have been happy if federal prohibition had succeeded as its friends hoped. But I have de cided that It has not worked and never will work. It would require a veritable army of men and billions of dollars to enforce it.

Even then, I believe, it would not be successful without the co-operation of the various States, municipalities and citizenry. "Therefore I now believe that the cause of temperance can best be advanced by a change In the prohibition laws, and I am heartily in favor of the views proclaimed by Dwlght W. Morrow."
