CLAIMS ROBINSON
EVADED DRY ISSUE
Anti-Saloon Official Says Nominee S
Acceptance Speech "Apologized
for Gov. Smiths Wet Attitude.

The remarks on prohibition in the
acceptance speech of Senator Robinson
of Arkansas. Democratic Vice presi-
Dental nominee. were characterized as
IAN evasion OF the issue and an apol-
ogy for the wet attitude of the head
of his ticket by r. Scott Mcbride
general superintendent Of the Anti-Ss-
loon League of America, in statement
made public today
Mr.. Mcbride declared In his state
ment that Senator Robinson leaves the
public completely In doubt as TO where
he stands on the prohibition issue.
Continuing his comment on the Robin
son speech. Mr. Mcbride said
1T Is interesting to note that Senator
Robinson in his defense of Gov. Smith
Goes not deny the charges that have
been publicly made concerning Smiths
wet record. Senator Robinson's adj
dress leaves the public completely in
doubt relative TO his own stand on the
prohibition issue as vice presidential
candidate.
IF Senator Robinson can honestly
defend Gov Smiths record in support
OF the saloon and the program of modi-
fication and repeal. why did he fail to
do so in his acceptance address? II Is
up to Senator Robinson to unequivocally
declare whether he believes Smith Is
right or wrong on prohibition. If he be-
lieyes him TO be right he should say 50
in unmistaken terms II he believes him
to be wrong he will need more than an
assurance OF Smiths honesty to make
the voters accept Smiths wetnesS. He
cannot hope to win votes by merely
suggesting that Smith Is sincerely
wrong on the chief issue OF the cam
paign."

Gov. Smith and the Houston platform
