Democratic Prohibition Plank Divides Committee at Chicago
A nine member sub committee split six to three on a repeal or retention plank for the 18th amendment. The majority approved a moderate stance not committing the party either way while the minority urged immediate repeal. Leaders Walsh and others vowed to press the issue on the convention floor. The revised plank calls for repeal and constitutional steps, with a plan to promote temperance and regulate liquor under states. It also urges a 25 percent cut in federal expenditures and a shift to allow beer production pending repeal.
