Reed says Volstead statement misunderstood by papers
United States Senator James A. Reed told reporters his remark on the Volstead act at the Democratic National Convention was misinterpreted and that newspapers gave it a peculiar construction. He noted Governor Alfred E. Smith’s Houston telegram urging repeal of the 18th Amendment and the Volstead law injected the prohibition issue into the campaign. Reed said he had urged the party to drop party disputes and focus on honest government and punishment of Republican rascality rather than making prohibition a campaign issue. He reaffirmed his Houston remark that he opposes the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act and voted to sustain President Wilson’s veto.
