TROUBLE FOR DEMOCRATS GOVERNOR SMITH'S BELIEF '" Australian Press Association. (Received 22nd June, 9 a.m.) HOUSTON, Texas, 21st June. "Governor Alfred Smith believes that if any State desires a certain amount of alcoholic content in a beverage, then that State has a right to determine that content," declared Mr. Norman Mack, a Democratic .National Committeeman, in opening Governor Smith's headquarters for the Democratic Convention, which commences on Tuesday. . ' Mr. Mack characterised the spending of millions of dollars by American citizens in Canada for liquor as- "absolutely criminal. Tho trouble with American peoplo is that they do not appreciate what Prohibition meant, and does mean to-day. If they realised tho hardship to business in. this country they would not stand for it.'' The statement is likely to cause a storm at the Convention.
