Copeland Boosts Smith
in Charlotte Speech,
Says New York Governor Staaa, for]
18th Amendment and Places O^tH .
v Above Religious Power
(aliarlotte, Feb. XI.-?A1 Smith!
steads, for the IStli amendment arid j
would place his oath of office above]
any religious power, asserted Senator
Royal S. Copeland of New York [
in an address here tonight advocat-1
ing the New York governor for the
Democratic nomination for president.
"Governor Smith is as much a believer
in the eighteenth amendment
as .Mr. Coolidge and I can assure you
he won't appoint any big brewer in
bis cabinet if nominated and elected."
declared the senator.
"Everybody knows the eighteenth!
amendment is in the constitution to
stay," he continued, "and it prohibits
the sale of intoxicating drinks
or hevcrages.''
With the exclamation that he
could remain calm in discussing any
question except when Smith was
?3 .. u:e:- .. if
viv'igt-'" as > iiuiiitlgr 01 ilie COUSW7
tution. Mr. Copelar.d declared that
the state police officers in New York
arc doing more to enforce the Vol,
stead act than Federal agents, there. J
A Explaining- that the New York state
prohibition law was repealed by a
Republican legislature, the speaker
said Governor Smith had threatened
to fire any state officer who neglected
to enforce the Volstead act.
"Smith stands for enforcement of
the Volstead act as it is, 'but be says
'how much better it would be if we
could hove scientists and doctors
terming what is an intoxicating beverage.
whether it is two, three or
five per cent, and then allow the
various states to determine what per j
cent they shall permit the sale of as
long as it conies within the law of
the content fixed by congress.' =
Turning to the so-called religious ~r
issue. Senator Copeiana said: "If
Governor Smith were speaking to!
you here tonight the words of Judge'
Gaston, North Carolina jurist, v. hcuj
he was speaking in the state legislature
against a bill debarring Catholics
from office could no better _
picture his beliefs."
Speaking at a luncheon given in |
his honor earlier in the day, Senator! y.
Copelaml said relief of western | ,j
farmers is essential to the prosperity \>
of North Carolina. New York ami p
ail the rest of the country. Touching ^
upon the taxation problem of the
nation, the speaker asserted that the!
United States is suffering with an' ^
iinlinlnnror! nr/vcmn-it'.
something must be done to remedy
the situation.
Fully 100 persons, the group ilt- f]
eluding bankers, merchants, phy- j
sic t uns, political leaders and others []
heard Senator Copelan-.l speak, at the. e
luncheon in his honor, and the
Mecklenburg county courthouse was ,]
filled for the political address in (j
the evening. \i
Dwelling upon his theme of "un- - .,
balanced prosperity," the speaker 5,
said that the whole national structure
was affected, declaring that
while manufacturers must depend
upon the farms as a market for a
large hullc of their goods, farmers
are not in a position to buy.
The great industrial centers of n
New York, Cincinnati, Cleveland, e
Detroit, Pittsburgh and other sections
including the textile area of g
the Carolines an- vitally affected by e
the condition of the western farm- ;
ers, he said. Farmers of this see- \
tion who produce raw products for a
the mills, tobacco and other comnio- ?
dities that find a market in the west _
should fir.u ground for concern over I ~
western conditions, he added.
