Bishop Cannon Predicts Smith Roosevelts Dry Platform Fight
Bishop James Cannon Jr says Alfred E Smith and John J Raskob will push anti prohibition planks in the Democratic platform for 1932 and implies wet delegates would back either Smith or Roosevelt only if the 18th amendment is repealed. He notes Smith may win the nomination and warns dry Democrats would oppose either candidate if they favor repeal.
