Harold Hughes, newly elected Iowa governor, asserts a popular mandate to reform the liquor system and says he can enforce current liquor laws without legislative cooperation. He plans to coordinate a plan after inauguration, giving the legislature time to address the issue while noting that elements of the present system may be retained in any new setup. He warns lawmakers they must act, or he will proceed to implement changes.
