Democratic leader who received 78 votes for the presidential nomination in 1924, reasserted in his speech of April 5 at Asheville that “prohibition is not a party issue.” The speech was of interest both for its comments on the candidacy of Governor Smith of New York and as a disclosure of the reasoning that prevailed in the Democratic conference.
“Prohibition was not passed by the Democrats or by the Republicans,” Senator Glass said, “but by men of both parties and with no regard for party lines. It was a moral issue, So why in heaven's name should the Democrats make the eighteenth amendment a party issue in the next national campaign, as though electing a wet President would affect the prohibition law? If they do they might just as well take the presidency to the Republicans on a silver platter…They might just as well take their party out and dump it on the scrap heap.”If the Democratic party nominated Governor Smith as “an avowed exponent of the movement to repeal or modify the eighteenth amendment” or should it make prohibition an issue by platform declaration, Senator Glass said, the Democratic candidate would be “badly beaten” and the party “irretrievably wrecked.” He explained at the same time that “the presidency means nothing in the fight for modification,” that the President could not change the Constitution, and that his influence with Congress on such an issue “would be negligible,” In view of these facts Senator Glass believed the modification issue had no place in a presidential platform or a presidential campaign.
