Mr. Griffin. - Yesterday H.:t-huavi
rate was mentioned, consisting.of the
gentleman from Maryland, the . gen
tleman from Massachusetts, "orrather
the two- gentlemen from Massachu
setts. Now, let us see what the fig-,
ures were, for the seizure of illicit dis
tilling machinery in Massachusetts.
There were no distilleries whatever
seized. (Applause.) There were 565
stills, as against 1,472 .in Georgia.
There weTe 277 still worms, as against
549 in Georgia. There were 436 fer
menters, as against 36)389 in Georgia.
(Applause.) But wait till you see the
figures for the fiscal year: ended June
30, 1925. In these Georgia surpasses
herself. Her bootlegging distilling
places ran up 3r,03I, as'against 1,658
in New -York and 443 in Massachu

wet States arc really dry, while the
dry States seem to be dripping wet.
Mr. Blanton. The gentleman is
surel yin favors of the. antinarcotic
law, which, according to-his interpre
tation, interferes with the personal
liberty:—
Mr. Griffin, THe-lirnritations on per
sonal liberty are clearly defined, and
ought to be keot in -the gentleman’s
mind, but I have noxtime to go into
that. In brief,, however, I will say
that the drug traffic is .regulated by
a nact of Congress, and so could the
liquor traffic have been regulated if
we had only given Congress the
power. It was.not necessary to tack <*■
sumptuary amendment on the Consti
tution to effect your object.
The. Chairman. The time of the
gentleman has again expired.
