161 BROUGHT
BY DEMO SHOUSE
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IS
WARMING UP ALONG
PACIFIC COAST
SAN FRANCISCO, April 20. (&)
—Democratic tongues buzzed in
San Francisco over the religious
issue as they did in 1928 when A1
Smith’s creed was mixed with
prohibition, the tariff and . other
election material. ,
Jouett Shouse, right hand man
of National Chairman Raskob, was
the cause; he brought it up at
the end of his programmed speech
at the dinner of the Democratic
Club at the Elks Club. “Now that
I am no longer on the air,” Shouse
said confidentially to the diners,
“let us look into this talk of
swearing the preident.”
But Shouse was mistaken; the
mike was still broadcasting his re
marks. Then he turned to an ar
ticle on Raskob recently published
! in an Eastern magazine, after as -
i erting that the Republican Na
tional Committee had purchased
110,000,000 copies for nation-wide
distribution.
Shouse said: “Raskob is one
of the most eminent Catholics in
America. If he were a Methodist
for instance, would the Republican
I National Committee have ordered
I these 10,000,000 copies?”
Shouse’s query was received in
a mQment of dead silence, then
the tongues began to wag and
they kept it up until long after
he boarded an airplane for Port
land where he is scheduled to
j speak to the Democratic hosts.
