DEMOCRAT STATEMENT,
NEW YORK, Juno 22.
A message from Houston, Texas, states —“ Governor Alfred Smith believes that in the event of any State desiring a certain amount of alcoholic content beverage, that State has a right to determine that content,” declared Norman Mack (Democratic National Committeeman) in opening Smith’s headquarters for the Convention which commences on Tuesday next. He characterised the spending of millions of dollars by American citizens in Canada for liquor as “absolutely criminal,” adding “The trouble with American people is they do not appreciate what prohibition has meant, and does mean to-day. If they realised their hardship to business in this country, they would not stand for it.”
The statement is likely to cause a storm at tlio Convention.
