DEMOCRAT CONVENTION
ATTACK ON PROHIBITION PARTY VOTE SPLIT ? (Australian Press Association.) (By Cable-Press Assn—Copyright.) (Received June 22, 10 a.m.) NEW YORK, June 21. A message from Houston (Texas) statesi “Governor Alfred Smith believes that in the event of any State . desiring a certain amount of alcoholic content of’beverage. that State has the right to determine that content,” declared Norman Mack, Democratic National Committeeman, opening the Smith headquarters for the Convention, which commences on Tuesday. Mr. Mack characterised the spending of millions of dollars by American citizens in Canada for liquor as “absolutely criminal,” adding, “the trouble with the American' people is that they do not appreciate what Prohibition has meant and does mean to-day. If they realised the hardship to the business of this country, they would not stand for it.”
The statement is likely to cause a storm at the Convention.
