WASHINGTON, March 6—(P)—
An appeal for all Democrats, wet
or dry, to unite in a movement to
defeat the suggestion of Chairman
Raskob for a party platform pro-
posing State control of liquor was
issued today by Senator Sheppard
of Texas, a dry leader.
Sheppard issued his appeal in a
formal Statement after Senator Car-
away. Democrat, Arkansas, assert-
ed that Raskob had “lined up" on
economic issues "with the extreme
stand pat portion of the Republican
party.’’
The Texan, characterizing the
program which Raskob named "the
home rule plan" as “wet," urged
the Democratic party to devote it-
self to "the overthrow of rapacity,
monopoly and greed.”
"The dissension which occurred
at the recent meeting of the Dem-
ocratic national committee when
Raskob proposed his wet plank is
but a feeble forerunner of what
I will happen- if he succeeds in secur-
ing the recommendations he de- |
sires." Sheppard said.
