Big Cities .in in East Chosen i Centers for Move by Democrats, Report,

BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Ty dt NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—Big-city Democrats have a plan to raise the ghost of Carrie Nation against Gov, . Alf M. Landon in “wet” strongholds of the East. Mrs. Nation was the Kansas woman with a hatchet. At the turn of the century she was famous for her saloon, bottle and mirror smashing expladits. She helped make Kansas what it is today—a state in which the sale of intoxicating beverages is illegal. In urban centers of the Northeast and in Chicago the Democrats are planning to put Gov. Landon on the defensive on the liquor question. It will be a localized. radio campaign. It will not be broadcast pon national networks, which would ‘reach almost as many dry voters as wets. Areas tentatively selected for Democratic discussion’ of prohibition and the comparative liquor rT oe of President Roosevelt and Landon are New England and te larger cities of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and ois. “Father of Repeal” Ar. Roosevelt will be presentéd: to voters. in these preponderantly wet areas as the man who broke the 13year prohibition drought; -'Gov. Landon is to be presented as’a dry, mpre by inference than by direct statement. The idea will be conveyed to voters that if Gov. Landon is not a rampant prohibitionist, he certain1y‘was no champion of repeal, which was one of the top issues of national politics in 1932, the first year in which he was elected Governor of Kansas. He ran for re- -election in 1934 and proposed a special session of the Legislature to sponsor a prohibition referendum. Stumping the state of Kansas in that campaign Gov. Landon advocated retaining prohibition in Kansas, but insisted that the people of the state be permitted to:vote whether’it should be retained or discarded. He argued that the people. were entitled to .express their judgment on any matter of public interest. Kansas: finally voted a majority of 90,000 to retain state prohibition and: Kansas was ‘one of the States widyich + did not ratify national repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Eastern big-city Democrats will insist that Gov. Landon take the rap for that omission.

New England Attack ‘Center

1 In New England and New York, particularly, the prohibition issue has been selected by Democratic strategists as the most feasible coun-ter-attack. on Father Charles’ E: Coughlin, who is leading ‘potential Democratic voters away from, Mr. Roosevelt by the. tens of thousands. The: ‘priest's following is’ large in the big, notably Catholic cities of the Northeast. It is likely that the . Coughlinites’ are mostly anti- -prohibitionists, althqugh at the Cleveland (O.) car¥entlon of his’ National Union for Social Justice the two-fisted drinking which often accompanies political gatherings. was conspicuously absent. Chairman .James A. Farley of the Demacratic National Committee believes the prohibition issue will be effective in the areas named and that it will not damage Mr. Roosevelt’s chances even though it might

~ spill over into bordering dry areas.

“We will say to them,” Farley told

me, “that President Roosevelt gave them repeal. We will ask: ‘Are you going to waste a vote on William Lemke, the Coughlin - candi.date, or vote for Gov. Landon who is a dry?'” The Democratic -high command feels that Mr. Roosevelt already has suffered all the defections likely to flow from his unqualified support. of repeal. He not only indorsed repeal for the nation so the issue. could be dealt with by the states, but he favored legalizing liquor in his own state, New York. Furthermore, the District of Columbia, of ‘which the President of the United States is a super-mayor, is legally and enthusiastically wet with Mr. Roosevelt's unquestioned ‘approval. The wsat record was fundamental in turning the Protestant clergy against the New Deal. Months ago a Literary Digest poll showed 70 per cent of the reporting- Protestant’ clergymen opposed to the President.

The theory is that, while the liquor question is dead, so far as making or winning votes for Mr. Roosevelt is concerned, it is alive for Gov. Landon. - His - speeches since 1932 have : been sifted at Democratic headquarters for references to prohibition.. There is nothing very startling in the residue although the Governor has generalized, ‘on occasion, on the. liquor issue by asserting that he favored enforcement of all state laws. The dry law is one of them. Also in his record is the fact that he refused ex-officio membership on the board of the

ta. Officials descended on a roadside spa, suspected of offending the state's - dry spirit. , The raid was widely publicized in the East. There was no suggestion that Gov. Landon had caused the raid. But some of his associates considered it harmful, nevertheles, to his political pros-
