Referendum by States and Democratic Nomination Speech
Albany and Washington coverage features Gov. Smith accepting the Democratic nomination with a tough stance on prohibition and reform. The speech advocates revising the Volstead Act, regional water power ownership, farm relief, and a businesslike reorganization of federal departments while rejecting drastic law changes. The piece also notes Pittman of Nevada as a ceremonial signer and a lengthy capitol demonstration.
