Anti Saloon League Chief
Declares Smith to Aid
Liquor Criminals
NEW CHAIRMAN is WET
Big Business Surprised at
AIS Choice of Raskob
to Lead Drive.
BY CARL d. GROAT
r1nited Press staff CorrespOndent

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Sea-
scned politicians foresaw today that
rohibition-despite all efforts to
class it as non-political-iS to be
one of the raging issues in the
presidential campaign.
Their view was accentuated by
two important political develop
ments in the past twenty-four hours
namely:
F. Scott Mcbride, general super
antendent of the Anti-Saloon League
opened that body's anti-Smith cam
uaign with statement that Smiths
election materially would aid the
liquor criminals of the country"
Mcbride in Statement
John j. Raskob, finance wizard OF
the General Motors Corporation and
anti-prohibitionist, was named
chairman of the Democratic nation
al committee, in which position he
will direct the campaign Of Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smith, acknowledged
modif1cationist.
The Mcbride statement, headed
prohibition Not a Partisan Issue, .
declared the American people have
settled prohibition as a political
issue by writing it into the Consti-
tuition of the Nation"
Smiths election, Mcbride charged,
would bring condition worse than
repeal" of the prohibition amend
ment because, he said, it would
weaken enforcement through zap
pointment CT complaisant judges
and blind tiger officials"
Emphasize Dry Issue
Meantime, many politicians saw
In appointment of Raskob, the anti
prohibitionist, further evidence that
Smith intends, as he indicated re-
Gently, to emphasize the modifica-
ton issue more strongly.
Raskob is director of the As
ISOLATION Against the Prohibition
Amendment, which is an outspoken
foe of prohibiticil md the Anti
Saloon league.

Wall Street so firmly that his opin-
ion on a stock is enough to sway
the market many points.
Last spring when he sailed for
Europe he said General Motors
stock was worth 5000 share, al
though it was selling then for
around $160.
The interview in which Raskob
made that statement started a boom
on the New York Stock Exchange
which carried General Motors
through 5000.
He also is a leader of men and
a genius of organization. For that
reason Smith preferred him to a
regular politician.

In such case, it is understood,
Foreign Minister Stresemann would
go to Paris at the same time to

All Woos Big Business

NEW YORK, July 12.-Democratic
leaders believed today that Gov. AL
fred E. Smith, their presidential
nominee, had smashed the tradi-
ton that big business is afraid of

reaction from that avenue of high

an enthusiastic reception by the few

Millions of Families Depend
on DR.. CaldwelPs Prescription

When DIR. Caldwell started TO prac-
tice medicine, back in 1875, the needs
for a laxative were not as great as
they arc today. People lived normal,
quiet lives. ate plain. wholesome food,
and got plenty of fresh air and sun
shine. But even that early there were
drastic physics and purges for the
relief of constipation which DR.. Cald-
we'll did not believe were good for
human beings TO put into their sys-
tenn. SO he wrote prescription for
a laxative to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice.
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vege-
table remedy. intended for women,
children and elderly people. and they
need just such a mild. safe, gentle
bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions of bottles are used a year
proves that it has won the con-
hdence of people who needed it to
get relief from headaches, bilious
ness, hatulence. indigestion. loss of
appetite and sleep, bad breath.
