Roosevelt Forces Plan Nomination Strategy After Wet Repeal Vote
In Chicago on June 39, Roosevelt forces press for a bold move to nominate Franklin D. Roosevelt as the Democratic candidate, claiming about 700 first-ballot votes and Alabama could yield to Mack of New York to place Roosevelt in nomination. The convention then votes two thirds for a wet repeal plank, supporting repeal of the 18th Amendment and amending the Volstead Act to restore beer, a peak demand by wets. Governor Albert C. Ritchie and Newton D. Baxer remain front in the effort for possible compromise candidates, with note of page references for continuation.
