AUSTIN, Tex., May 12.-(AP)-The opinion that the business depres- sion and not prohibition will be the paramount issue of the 1932 presidential campaign was express- ed tonight by Jouett Shouse, chair- man of the Democratic national executive committee. Addressing the legislature in a state which left the Democratic fold to vote for Herbert Hoover in 1928, Shouse defended the prohibi- tion proposal of Chairman Raskob and said his party, when it regains power, will "do the obvious things for the relief of unemployment in- stea d of merely talking about them." He pledged the 'support of hith- self and of Raskob to the presidens- tial candidate selected by the Dem- ocratic convention "whether he is wet or dry." "It would be deplorable," Shouse said, "if the selection of our chief' magistrates and the directors of legislation who must guide the des- tinies of the United States should hinge forever on the question of prohibition however grave and far- reaching that question may be." Shouse said he did not see how any Democrat could find fault withl the suggestion of Chairman Ras- kob which calls for retention of the1 Eighteenth Amendment with an additional amendment under which any state might . determine by pop- ular vote whether it, desires prohi- bition.
