AL SMITH AND BOOZE
AL Smith is nationally known for just
one thing-BOOZE His name is synono-
nous with liquor. Not one person per-
hapS in a thousand could name one
achievement which has distinguished his
four administrations as Governor of New
York other than his championship of the
outlawed liquor traffic.
SMITH IS THE PARTY'S PROHIBI-
TION PLATFORM
The Convention adopted dry law en-
orcement plank which is entirely neutral
lzed by the nomination of their preSiden-
tial candidate Alfred E. Smith, whose
whole public service Is distinguished by
his championship of the liquor traffic.
Al Smith is the Prohibition platform of
the Democratic party. No person who is
DESTROYS of retaining the Prohibition policy
and who believes in the enforcement of
that policy can consistently vote for al
Smith. Smiths record speaks for itself.
II is a record of absolute subSerViency TO
the liquor traffic; 1t is a record of agrees
sive defense of the saloon, before the Sa-
loon was outlawed EDUCATIONAL Prohibition.
This is important in the light of the
message Smith wired to the Convention
thanking the delegates for the nomination
in which he takes occasion to condemn
the saloon but in which he insists there
must be change in the Prohibition pol
icy. In that message he declared that
years ago he held and still holds that the
saloon ought to be a defunct inStitu-
ton"

200 feet of private schools
AS CHOSEN LEADER WOULD POINT
THE WAY
In that message thanking the delegates
for his nomination, he agreed to stand on
the Prohibition platform but made it plain
that he had not changed his views with
reference TO the National Prohibition pol
icy as embodied in the Eighteenth Amend
ment, admitting that he could not change
this policy, that it was for the legislative
department of the Government to do that
Nevertheless. he said:

leader OF the people to point the tDdy
Which, in his opinion, leads TO a sane,
sensible solution OF the condition

satisfactory to the great mass OF our
people.
This statement too Is significant. VIII
ne point the way as he pointed it to the
New York legislature when that body was
celebrating upon the bill which repealed
New York's law enforcement statute en-
acted to make the Eighteenth Amend
ment effective in the empire state, which
bill he signed after the legislature had
passed it and which has left the state at
the mercy of the bootleggers, except so far
as Federal Government can combat them
with a limited number of Federal agents?
HAS NOT CHANGED HIS VIEWS
Al Smiths position on Prohibition and its
enforcement is written in his record and
he has made it plain to all the world that
he has not changed his views. He made
IL plain before the Convention nominated
him; he made it plain before the Conven-
ton wrote the Prohibition plank, in a
statement given the press after Norman

There were all sorts OF
