Tho Anti Saloon league. tho nominee charged. had flooded the country with propasanda. 'in an ef- tort to make God-fearing men and women believe that the 18th amend ment and the Volstead act are dogmas of religion.
 No church that I ever heard of. no church that you eyer heard of." Governor Smith asserted amid loud applause. attempted to make the 18th amendment or the volstead act an set of faith
 "What Is it?" he continued. ''it is nothing more or less than legis- lation passed in the stress of war and lobbied through the congress by the brow-beating methods of the Anti Saloon league"
 The governor contended that every religion taught the value of sobriety and temperance, as we'll as the danger of intolerance. and declared he could not escape the thought that it must be quite . shock to the American people to have the moral power of the churches used to im- press men and women with the idea that in talking against the 18th amendment or Volstead act they are against every church, or that they have sinned against God himself"
