Kentucky is overwhelmingly Protestant. is overwhelmingly dry. has the smallest per cent of aliens. and even her wets are opposed to wines and beer. As the leaders of Smiths national campaign foolishly emphasized these false issues. it took no prophet to foretell what was in store for us. The Democratic platformn was very generally approved. It advocated both prohibition enforcement and immigration restriction. Frequen: statements of Chairman Raskob. however. could not be reconciled with the obvious purpose of the platform and Governor Smiths interpretations were not reassuring. It would be difficult to find one with less political judgment or one with so little national vision or one in every way so unfitted for the situation as Chairman Raskob.
