Raskob Urges State
Control for Liquor
Chairman, However, Does Not
Ask Democrat Committee
to Commit Itself
WOULD PREVENT SALOONS
Plan Explained to Group Calls
for Retention Of 18th
Amendment .

Washington, March 5.-R-A call
for the Democratic party to sponsor
state control Of liquor in the next
presidential campaign was sounded
Thursday by Chairman John J. Ras-
kob.
Speaking at thursdays meeting Of
the national committee and party
leaders, he proposed that the 18th
amendment be retained but that q
new amendment be adopted permit
ting any state to direct and control
the manufacture, transportation and
sale of liquor.
II should like to christen this the
home rule plan," he said.
An intensely interested audience,
representing every type Of thought
and opinion In the party, heard him.
The meeting previously had greeted
with cheers his assertion he did not
intend to ask the committee to COM
NIT itself on questions of policy.
Absent at the morning session, Al
fred E. Smith, the party's nominee
for president in 1928, attended after
lunch. He was cheered as he took a
place on the platform. He was &C
companied by James M. Cox, the
presidential nominee in 1920.
The enthusiastic gathering also ap-
plauded a statement by Jouett
Shouse. executive director Of the ma
tional committee, that the party Or
~ganization would sponsor no indi-
vidual candidates. for the presidency.
Without asking the committee it.
self, Raskob urged the Democratic
party to sponsor q substitute for the
prohibition amendment giving the
states full control over sale and man
ufacture Of liquor.
MY recommendation Is" he said
to a tensely interested audience,
that the 18th amendment be not re-
pealed but that q new amendment be
substituted, providing that nothing
In the 18th amendment shall prevent
any state from directing and con-
trolling, without federal interference,
the manufacture and sale Of liquor
within its borders: provided that the
plan first be submitted to the people
of that state and approved by a state
wide referendum.
II also would provide that the
amendment shall not be effective
unless and until it shall have been
ratified not by the legislatures but
by constitutional conventions"
Raskob reiterated his recommended
ton that this committee suggest
and advise that the next political
convention platform contain q plank
to retain the 18th amendment but
with a new amendment which will
permit any state to direct and con-
troll the manufacture, transportation,
and sale Of liquor provided the people
by conventions In three -fourths Of
the states ratify the amendment"
This plan." the chairman said,
prevents the return Of the saloon"

Thursday sent the measure to Gov

attitude was reversed and admins
