New York, July 4.-Norman T..
Mack OF Buffalo, democratic national
committeeman, announced last night
after a conference with Gov. Alfred
Z. Smith. that the governor would
enter the next democratic national
convention as a contender for the
nomination for president. He said he
believed the democratic national plat
form would carry a plank calling for
modification or Hberalizing OF the
Xolstead act.
Mr.. Mack added:
IAN of the powerful eastern sea
board states want the Xolstead law
modified. The greatest opposition to
modification comes from the western
states, which are normally repub-
lean.
"The great industrial states. like
New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania,

Wisconsin and Maryland. are swing

ent national prohibition law is too
