(i'OVKRNOK SMITH MAKKS HIS PI.KA
An this is written vu Imvo just finished rcidiiiK tho c(im-
lotc .speech (if CJoverniir Smith on the occasion of his accept
iineo of tho demociatic presidential nomination at -Alhany,
U. Y., this afternoon. Two things remain in the reader's
mind, two thinjrs on which the demociatic party and its
leader will seek to win or lose the election: First, criticism
( ( the republican record and policies, and second, a stronj;
; nd admittedly logical treatment of the prohibition question
i s an appeal to the wet voters of the country. -
The speech is an able attack on the republican adminis
i;tioi), is obviously the sincere pledge of a forceful and
("iiipetent executive to give his best effort in the nation's
lervice. l!ut it is vague and indefinite on numerous im
i'ortant subjects, adheres closely to the' outline of the demo
cratic platform in practically every respect except prohibi
tion. Smith's discussion of the farm problem will strike the
.igiicultural populate as weak. lie touches the need for
I rttcr marketing in general tonus but offers no specific relief
1-iogram.i Two brief paragraphs stale his belief In inland
valcrways. Hut the various angles of farm relief are not
considered important by Smith managers from a vote-getting
standpoint, and his failure to strike telling blows on this
rubject is not surprising. The campaign is to be won or
I ist in the wet eastern states and Smith's acceptance speech
is carefully styled lo do the most good in the great centers
of population.
The plea for wet support, while still promising law en
foiccmenl, is a masterpiece. What he proposes to do, if
elected president, is definitely and courageously staled after
quoting from the Constitution the duty of the president "To
lecommend to the Congress such measures as he sh'all judge
iicccssary and expedient." Coventor Smith says: '
"Opinion upon prohibition cuts squarely across the two
r.reat political parties. There are thousands of so-called
vcU'and drys' in each. The platform of my party is silent
upon any question of change in the law. I personally believe
(hat there should be change and I shall advise the Congress
in accordance with my constitutional duty of whatever
changes I deem 'necessary or expedient.' It will then be
lor the pec pie and the repi esentatives in the national and
state legislatures to deteimine whclluvr these changes shall
be made.
"In accotdance with this Democratic: principle, some im
mediate relief would come from an amendment to the Vol
stead Law giving a scientific definition of the alcoholic'
content, of an intoxicating beverage. The present definition
is admittedly inaccurate and unscientific. Kach stale would
then be allowed to fix its own standard of alcoholic content,
rubject always to the pioviro that that standard could not
exceed the maximum fixed by the Congress. !
"I believe moicover that, there should be submitted to
the people the question of some change in the piovisions
oi' tl'.e ISth Amendment. I personally believe in an amend
l.'cnt iu the lstli Amendment which would give to each in
dividual State itself only alter approval by a referendum
popular vole of its people (he right wholly within its borders
lo import, ittaiiul'actute or cause to be manufactured and
:e!l alcoholic beveragvs, the sale to b- made only by the
Mate itself and not lor consumption in any public place.
We may well leant from the expenenro of other nations. Our
. Haitian nrighbois have gone far in this manner lo solve
this problem by the method of sale made by the state itself
Mid not by private individuals." j
I here is no hope for the diys in sin li
believes ill modification. I'urthei nuoe
modification, lie will recommend to
constitutional amendments providing for
. out in the open - a staunch wet. One cannot Imt admire
I Is courage and his campaign boldness, With the wet states
in' may win. Without them his chances aie hopeless,
Although taking up loo much time with severe entieism
of the icpuhlicau policies and administ i at ion of the past
tight years (very little of which is convincing as it comes
fiom the lips of a foimer Tammany henchman and the gov
ernor of a heavily taxed stalo), theie is much in the Smith
i IH'ech to excite! admiiation. The subjects w ith which be
hows familiarity are treated squaii'ly, eipeniy; others ,re
ague. In any event, the speech is one that will please and
'iithuse all democrats except the beme-dry element. They
..li; hopelessly mired down for the remainder of the campaign.
