By Thomas L. Stokes, United Press Staff Correspondent
ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 22. Governor Alfred E. Smith
i of New York accepted the democratic presidential nomi
nation tonight in a speech laying down a definite pro
gram for prohibition modification and urging Its adoption
. on moral grounds.
First, he proposed changing the Volstead Act by in
creasing the legal limit of acloholic content of beverages
and by permitting individual states to set lower limits or
' prohibit all liquors at their discretion. .
Second, he advocated amendment of the 18th amend
ment to permit states, by popular vote, to adopt a sys
' tern of state sale of liquor similar to the system used in
; Canada. JHe pledged himself to strict enforcement of the
j Volstead Act and the 18th amendment as long, as they
remain on the statute books and reiterated previous state
; ments that he would not countenance return of the saloon.
