Texas Dry Plank Favored by Southern Delegates
Southern delegates with ultradry views back a bone-dry Texas plank for the national Democratic platform.

The Beaumont convention plank calls for unit voting and support for strict enforcement of prohibition nationwide. The piece notes Mississippi and others resist a hard-line line, while Smith forces show no stance on the plank.
