formed that the republican national
committee had made public a letter
quoting him as saying the nominal
ton OF Gov. Smith would be "a ia
tai mistake" Josephus Daniels re-
calls the fight he made against the
New York governor prior to the
Houston convention, but declared he
was bound to support him now by
the arbitrament of the majority of
my party" because he had partici-
pated a. a delegate In the nominat-
Ing convention.
At the same time the former navy
secretary reiterated his opposition to
the prohibition modification pro-
gram OF the presidential nominee
and announced his intention to sup
port dry democratic congressman,
while challenging the prohibition
record of the republican party.
Mr.. Daniels expressed the hope
that the republican national COM
mittee would give as wide publicity
to his statement as it gave to the
Root letter, and will give a pledge,
II the republican candidate is elect
ed, that neither "Mr. Mellon or any
other ex-distiller will be continued
In charge OF enforcement"
