estified that he had contributed $65. 600 Of his own
honey in the last five years to the association

director Of the organization. He said he believed
hat the 18th amendment ought to be repealed or
~lodified, giving this as a reason why he is a con-
%Efihutcr to the association against the prohibition
mendment. Republican senator's examined and then
ross-examined this multi-millionaire democrat OF
Delaware. He never lost his poise nor did he lose
pntrol Of his tongue. Speaking as a lay member Of
pc democratic, and not as chairman Of the national
|bmmittee, Raskob said:
Y Il have been quite careful not to mix my personal
teeling In the matter Of this prohibition question with
he affairs of the democratic national committee. 7
|Pel that as chairman Of the committee / certainly
|Eave no right to attempt in any way to commit the
democratic party on either side Of this liquor ques-
hon"
After the hearing was over. Chairman Raskob told
he newspaper men that he did not intend to resign
he Craftsmanship. All this is a reminder that
