Contrasts Democratic Stand

Let us take a look at the demo- cratic platform. The democratic national convention Is speaking to the people of the United States and no political party during my time on any particular issue spoke more plainly and more definitely than | the democratic party spoke from than conventoin in Chicago when it said: "We favor the repeal of the 18th amendment and to effect such repeal we demand that
 congress immediately propose a constitutional amendment to truly representative conventions in the states called to act solely on that
 proposal. We urge the enactment of such measures by the several states as will ' actually promote temperance, effectively prevent
 the saloon and bling the liquor traffic into the open under com
 plete supervision and control of the states"
 "We demand that the federal government effectively exercise its
 power to enable tie states to pro- tect themselves against importa- tions of intoxicating liquors in vio- lation of their own law. Pending repeal, we favor immediate modi- fication of the Volstead act to legal ize the. manufacture and sale of beer and other beverages of such alcoholic content is as permissible under the constitution, and to pro- vide therefrom q proper and need- ed revenue" 1 wrote that plank.
 (Applause). No man on the com- mittee on d resolutions worke harder or put more energy into the platform than the commissioner of public safety of this city who was talking on the platform here to- night. There he is.
 Well, it is the old story of his- tory repeating itself; ducking and lodging. I remember funny little story connected with the 1928 cam paign: When little Willie is go- ing to bed at night, he has little bedtime conversation with his fath- CT, and he says, Papa, see that Senator Borah was out west and he says that prohibition was the paramount issue of the campaign, and Judge Hughes was talking in New York and Judge Hughes said that prohibition was a sham battle. Now, papa, which of them is TlSHC! AHQ ulS ldtHeT SdyS' Willie. they are both right. Sem ator Borah was talking out in dry territory and Judge Hughes was talking in wet territory (Laugh- ter). And little Willie looked up at his father and he says, Papa, what is the meaning of political honesty?" And his father says, "Go to bed, Willie. Don't be ask ing so many questions" (Laugh-, ter)
