and he runs new york state during the new deal. and he is, by all accounts, somebody that implements his programs. so he's not a rock republican in the sense of a conservative, kind of like a nelson rockefeller republican. dewey wanted to be president and made it known. i think there was rumors he was going to run for president, a possible presidential candidate when he was still, i think, new york district attorney. he had it in the cards that he wanted to do this for a long time. smith's campaign in 1928 had always been troubled from the start. he did get the nomination, and he did his whirlwind campaign from july onwards. dewey had more of the modern campaign. in fact, fdr did this in 1932. he knew he'd run early on and traveled the country lining up delegates, getting his campaign in order. so i think the biggest differences between dewey and smith were probably that dewey was out there with this campaign and this preparation a lot more than al smith ever was. >> we have a question here in our audience. if you would, if you fee

he did not like how new york state ratified it anyway. they did it by simple resolution through the legislature, he felt it should be a referendum, and i believe it was in 1924, so they had a referendum in new york state about what you think about prohibition, do you change the percentage of alcohol, i think in the federal it was 1.5, they wanted beer and white wines to be allowed and it passed in new york state, but it was just a memorialization of congress, it did not mean anything, smith himself was elected the president of the convention in new york state, 1933 to repeal the prohibition amendment in this chamber. the 150 delegates voted, and they voted for al smith to be president. he got the last laugh on that. they brought out the secretary of state to second the nomination and pat him on the back. it shaped him because he thought it was ridiculous to say, that you could use the constitution to control individual behavior. it actually took a right away from people, rather than the amendments giving rights to people in the bill of ri
