DANIELS FAILS TO
SEE RASK0b'S VIEW
Takes Issue With Him on
Prohibition Issue

Raleigh, N. c., July 10 P-Al-
though praising John j. Rask,b, the
new democratic national chairman
as man of bushes, Josephus DAN
iels, secretary of the navy in Will
sons cabinet takes issue with him
on his statement as to prohibition
saying the national chairman had
no right to make or stress issues
not settled in the party platform"
His election insures the leader
ship Of a man of action and sue
cesstul business methods. 1t is an
assurance to big business that a
democratic victory with Smith as
president will not disturb any right
relationship" Mr.. Daniels said.
There will be those who deny the
right OF the national chairman to
make or stress issues not settled in
the platform of the party.
And yet in his first declaration,
Mr.. Raskob undertakes insofar as
he can, to put the democratic party
on record for amendments to ma
tional prohibition. The Houston con-
vention turned down the various
suggestions of amending the ma
tional prohibition laws and repeal
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1928-07-13

ing the 18th amendment and gave 4
mandate and pledge to candidates
and leaders of the party to enforce
the 18th amendment and the Vol
stead act.
ITO be sure, as. Mr.. Raskob feels
any democrat is free as an indi-
vidual to advocate Strengthening or
weakening the prohibition law. but
no person in the position of leader
is commissioned to advocate as a
democratic policy opposition to
either the 18th amendment or to
the Nolstead law.
THE appointment or Raskob is
in line with Smiths letter to the
Houston convention and doubtless
what he said was in accord with
Smiths position. 1t is still further
appeal to attract the republican wet
vote, with no consideration to he
large element in the party which.
while regular, will not sacrifice its
resolve to block any and every at
tempt by Smith, Raskob or anybody
else to beat a retreat on prohl-
bition.

Yale HAS BOUGHT
HIGH ST. HOUSE
Thus Threat Of "Spite' Building
Has Disappeared

New Haven, July 13.-fPeYale
university has secured after long
period Of waiting a brick building
used as private rooming place at
High and Wan streets which bid fair
to become ''spite" house.
Its site was the only one in the
entire block in which the new
Sterling library will stand. which the
university did not own.
Upwards of S1e.O0o,000 will be
laid out on the library and after
plans for it and the surrounding
grounds bad been made the single
building in private ownership could
not be secured less than a reported
S150.00O. or five times estimated
market and assessed value.
Library plans were held up for
months and last winter finally had
to be changed as the university
would not buy the rooming house at
the owners figure. The latter had
begun with an asking price, it was
said of 100000. but crept upward as
the university tried to negotiate.
Finally, James Gamble Rogers.
architect, advised the university to
start building on revised plans.

The owners were Mn. Mary z.

SMITH OPPONENTS
BARRED IN TEXAS
Names Not Allowed on Primary
Ballots Of Party

Dallas. Tex, July 1S up - The
names of Texas democratic candi-
dates for state offices who have re-
fused to work for the election of
Governor Alfred E. Smith, today
were barred from primary ballots in
three counties pending the outcome
OF a test case.
The third reversal for democratic
party boilers came yesterday when
the Galveston county executive COM
mittee refused to place the name of
Thomas b. Love and other anti
Smith democrats on the ballots for
the primary July IS. Love. former
democratic national committeeman
and leader OF the ultra dry fac
ton of the party in Texas. is can
didate for lieutenant governor.
Prior 10 the action OF the Calves
ton county committee, Loves name
was barred from ballots in Cameron
county when district court Judge
denied an application for writ of
mandamus to compel the committee
to recognize his candidacy. His ap-
peal from this decision is pending
before the civil court of appeals at
San Antonio.
The Galveston committee said it
refused to recognize the boilers be
cause they are openly and notori-
ously violating their party obiga-
tons and pledge, and, the integrity
of the party demands that their
names not be printed on the ballot"
A state supreme court decree up
holding the Galveston county COM
mittee in similar case in 1921, was
cited by the committee.
Meanwhile plans for an alliance of
democrats opposed to Governor
Smith with the state republican Or
ganization, We're advanced at San
Antonio. At a meeting of the re-
publican state executive committee
there. a steering committee was ap-
pointed to confer with anti-Smith
democrats. R. B. Creager. national
committeeman said the steering
committee would confer with demo-
Gratis opposed to the New York gov
ernor on a proposal to substitute a
ticket of anti-Smith electors for the
republican electors already selected.

ment to prevent the sale of post
office appointments. Since he took
charge of the department, he said,
So per cent of the appointments In
Georgia have been made after con-
situations with the senators and
representatives from that state.
He told the senator's he had no
doubt that some Georgia postmas ters
had been forced to make contribu-
tons to the republican party. but ex-
pressed at the same time the belief
that the democrats exacted similar
payments when they were in power.
In support Of this assertion, Mr..
New submitted a letter from w. D.
Jamison. formerly connected with
the Georgia Democratic State
organization, asking William F..
Boone, postmaster at Boxley. Ga. to
contribute SIS to the party as quick
ly as possible.

ton it desires Chairman Brookhart

ing majority in contest that saw
seven out OF IS candidates chosen.

PECULIAR PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

In some respects this is peculiar Presi- dential campaign. The editorial columns of the daiy newspapers Republican, Demoratie and in- dependent-seem to be devoting a lot space and energy to specuating on which candidate will win and in smashing sanderers and islanders and bgots and their intolerance, than to the so-called issues of the fracas. The great Re- publican papers-the New York Herald Tribune Chicago Tribune, Seattle Timse and others-seem to realize that the only way to elect Mir. Hoover is to prevent the issue from becoming one inyolv- ing Gov Smiths record for integrity and ability and uprghtness or his religion, and they have turned their guns on the Whites, Stratons, Klans- men and others that have talked out loud, and poured such furious bombardment that they have forced most of the slanderers to the whis pering lip to ear campaign method. Now these papers-Republcan Democratic and Independent are shelling the bushes for the whsperers.
 This general silence the issues of the cam paign is due. probably, to two three things. First of all, of course, both sides are out after the votes of both vets and drys. Next in inn portance probably. is acceptance of the belief that probably never before have the people shown more plainly that they familiar with the situation and expect to vote their own con clusions without the intervention of spe-bnders and special peaders. Most of the newspapers really desire that the decision be based on reason and not passion and prejudice Others fear the reaction upon the average intelligent voters if they come to believe that racial and religious bigots are trying to sway the election on a basis of intolerance, and they, too, fight the bigots.
 Of course. the plain and unequivoeal attitude of Gov. Smith is making issue of Prohibition inspite of the efforts of Senator Noses former Senator Wadsworth and most of the Eastern Republican organizations to prove that the Re- publican Party is not dry,
