Washington Faces Lawlessness Ahead of Inauguration
A national committee report accuses the Coolidge Mellon administration and Washington authorities of a farcical law enforcement scene seething with illegality and poison liquor. It cites 342 places near the Capitol where liquor is sold, urging reform before March 4. The report links federal patronage and political graft to enforcement failures, with notes over Texas appointments and broader GOP misdeeds. It calls for honest enforcement and points to federal control over the District of Columbia.
