PROPOSAL

on Economic Questions, But
see d Split on Prohibition

The proposal Of Senator Smith
Nv. Bfookhaft, Iowa Insurgent Re
publican, for an alliance Of the
West and South to fight Wall
Street influence In politics and
to defend prohibition. found but
slight support today among
Democratic leaders.
Democratic Spokesmei1 well
coined d national coalition Of all
liberal elements for q war against
the conservative Eastern dornifia-
tion OF the Republican party, but
they shied from involving prohibit
tion in any party battles. It was
apparent that the Democrats
were eager To gain insurgent sup.
port in the coming congressional
elections on all economic ques-
tiOns. but not upon the dry side
Of the prohibltion question.
The diversity Of sentiment to-
ward prohibition In the. ranks Of
both majOt. parties, 1t was plain.
would defeat the phase Of Brook
haft's plan for Joining certain
sections Of the nation under q
dry banner. The South may be
dry politically, ss Is the Middle
west, but Democratic leaders
were adverse to making their
party & national champion Of
the Eighteenth Amendment
through fear Of losing Democratic
stronkf10lds In industrial com
munities, II for no other reason.
The economic side Of the
IowafI's plan met with more
favor. If the Insurgents follow
up Brookhart's suggestion. the
Democrats would extend . hearty
welcome to Insurgent voters on
all economic issues. Their idea
would be to carry the Democratic
Iflsttfgerit coalition, which has
dominated the Senate for many
