Virginia Democrats rally behind Smith for presidency
Speaker Ozlin of the Virginia House urges Democrats to back Governor Smith for the presidency, arguing Smith’s record and the Democratic platform offer relief from Republican misrule. He condemns focusing only on prohibition and stresses loyalty to the party and its Southern allies. The piece contrasts Smith’s rise from humble beginnings with Hoover and the GOP. He cites five reasons supporting Smith, including party regularity, democracy for the common man, integrity, and commitment to reform. A humorous baseball aside follows about pitchers.
