Senator Glass’s 1927 warning on Smith and prohibition

Smith on a platform opposing the 18th Amendment or the Volstead Act would wreck the Democratic Party, especially in the South. He argued Smith’s Catholicism wouldn’t doom him if aligned with enforceable prohibition, but a pro repeal stance would spell disaster.
