011bt And when it caiae to National Prohibition, you were 

 for that too. 



Cogglnss Wilson was for that too* 



dllbt I nsan wh»n it came to supporting it* 



Cogginst It didn't need any support. It Just forced throu^. 

 I don't recall any— It was Jtxst a lot of— the 

 aiddle*elsss people were resentful of it. 



OilbJ Because it was dictatorial? 



Coggins: Voodrow Wilson put it over. I don't know Just what 

 was the force that let him do it. 



011b: Were you in favor of it? Aside from how it was 

 put over? 



Coggins: Well, I'm not sure. It doesn't mean very much to 

 me, so it isn't fair for me to say that people 

 shouldn't have it. But I would be willing to 

 dl spense with it entirely. On accoiint of the waste 

 and damage It does. Unless it vould be better 

 controlled than it is at pz*esent. 



Candidate for Office 



Cilb: You mentioned a while back that you were a 



candidate for mayor one time against Stltt Wilson 

 end that you almost unseated him, almost got more 

 votes. Didn't you say that?
