ASKS BILLION CUT N FEDERAL COSTS U. S. Aid to States for Job- less Relief and More Pub- lic Works Backed. BY FRANCIS M. STEPHENSON. CHICAGO, June 30 (#).—The Demo- eratic party will go to the country this year with a militant platform, sensa- tional in its flat declaration for repeal of the eighteenth amendment, and con- spicuous in a mnever before attained brevity. Only the prohibition plank, which carried also a demand for immediate Volstead act modification to legalize beer and other beverages, had received approval—by more than four to one— of the entire convention in the session which ran past midnight, but adoption of the rest today was assured. Contests still were faced on three planks, favor- ing cash payment of the bonus, be- metallism and protection of depositors in Federal reserve ba The party’s extreme wet declaration came to the convention as majority re- port through the surprising 35 to 17 vote of the Platform Comriitee yester- day afternoon. It swung through.the convention 9343 to 2133, against the minority report calling for submission of a repeal amendment to the States, without party recommendation. Billion-Dollar Economies Demanded. Besides prohibition repeal, the plat- form demands “drastic change in eco- nomic and governmental policies,” and among other things advocates A_billion-dollar cut in Federal ex- penditures with the States making a “gzealous effort to achieve a proportion- ate result,” and a balanced budget. A “competitive tariff for revenue” and repeal of presidential power to change rates. Flat opposition to cancellation of war debts. Federal aid to States for jobless re- lief when States exhaust their relief funds and expansion of “necessary and useful” public construction. Unemployment and old-age pension insurance, under State laws. Refinancing of farm mortgages at low interest rates, co-operatives, control of crop surpluses and “every constitutional measure” to give the farmer “prices in excess of cost.” Would Regulate Exchanges. Maintenance of a sound currency and an international conference to consider the rehabilitation of silver. Federal regulation of security and commodity exchanges, interstate utility company rates, and holding companies selling securities in interstate commerce. Generous treatment of war veterans and their dependents, without men- tioning the bonus Relief of depositors of suspended banks and prohibiting the use of their money for speculation “to the detri- ment of local credits”; also restriction of Pederal Reserve facilities for “specu- | lative purposes.” Armament reduction, adherence to the World Court with the pending res- ervations, and non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations. An adeguate Army and Navy, but one in times of peace which will not burden the people “by an expenditure fast ap- proaching a billion dollars annually.” Free Philippines Favored. Philippine independence and ultimate statehood for Porto Rico. Better protection for labor and the small producer and distributor under the anti-trust laws and “use of the Nation’s wate power in the public in- terest.” i Speeding up of administration of justice through simplification of legal procedure. Strengthening of the corrupt prac- tices act and continuous publicity of campaign expenditures. The 1,400-word platform—shortest in modern political history—condemns in strong terms the Hawley-Smoot tarfl, “improper and excessive” use of cam- paign funds, utterances of high public officials designed to influence stock prices, “extravagance” of the Farm Board, “usurpation” of power by the State Department in passing upon for- eign securities floated in this country and paid lobbyists. o Drjr Woodson to Speak. Dr. Carter G. Woodson will address an open-air mass meeting of the Pleasant Plains Citizens' Association tomorrow night at the Monroe School, Columbia road, between Georgia and Sherman avenues. Music will be furn- ished by the Ross Sacred Concert Band. | = SPECIAL NOTICES. fing_a sweethea ; Swem, Cengennial ne Easy chairs R APT., WILL BE vour -~ couple as assisting, with cost A and frouble ON. phone_Nat 35~ B Directors. at Thursday._June dividend of '$3 per Stock. payable June 30 f record at the close 2 Tile Repairing Call ELLETT, Inc, National 8731 WANTED—LOADS TO NEW YORK TO PHILADELPHIA TO BOSTON 1355 Vou Bt NW o FOR CHAR (‘Rl")‘i?:flw\’éa"”‘r] AR Mor 3 on board.

Hayes of New York, two personal friends of the former Secretary of War, are in | charge of the Baker office. Both men said they were acting on their own initiative and without fcrmal sanction | by the Ohican. | The Baker headquarters is in a | modest room just upstairs from presi- dential row in the Congress. No signs | or banners are around, but there is a steady stream of delegates going in and | out of the almest secret office. | Ayres made no predictions and said | he was working among no particular group of delegates, but that he was hopeful of a “break” that would open | the way for a Baker nominaticn. He | said the Ohio man would not be placed | in_nomination. | Mississippi’s 20 votes will be cast under the unit rule for Roosevelt on | the first ballot. The delegation voted in caucus - this morning 1075 to 91¢ to support the New | York Governor on the first ballot, and | then poll the delegation to determine | whom to give their vote on the second. | The decision came at about the time | that Roosevelt headquarters was esti- | mating that its candidate would get | 705 votes on the first ballot. | The afternoon session was even slow- er than usual in getting itself under way. The delegates filed sleepily into the stadium, and further troubles over | tickets kept the galleries almost empty until long afternoon the chosen hour of noon had passed. At 12:30 not half of the convention personnel had arrived. and the spectators were just beginning to come in in small groups. The Roosevelt managers, after & con- ference, indicated they would stand against the McAdoo bank guarantee | plank, but whether they would make a real point of it remained to be seen. The plank lost out in committee by a v ; small margin. Convened at 12:40. | The chairman, Senator Waish of M 1tana, seemed bent on getting ahead | with the business of the day in spite of | the absentees.

For several hours yesterday it fiddled along with an impromptu vaudeville | | performance while it waited for the Platform Committee to report. Giving up finally, it went to dinner | |and came back before dark to stage| a repeal demonstration, hear a thunder | of oratory, see three of its presidential dates do their stuff on the speak- | er’s stand. It stamped its startlingly | | hearty approval on an extreme wet plank. And it was too tired, sticky and sleepy to make any fuss at all at the | end. It just gave one shout and headed for bed before it could be formally | adjourned to meet again at noon. Issue Never in Doubt. For one thing, the issue was never in serfous doubt. From the time its dsg-, nified Platform Committee chairman, | former Senator Gilbert Hitchcock of Nebraska, dropped that first eight-word | repeal declaration of the revised plank | into walting ears. anybody with half an eye could see what was coming. The convention got right up and in- dorsed the declaration there and then. With the exception of a few Southern | or Western States, manv of which later | voted heavily for the plank, everybody got into the parade. A few stunts were contributed, like the Michigander who tried to parade a full growler and succeeded in slopping it over delegates from the Philippines and the Virgin Islands during the | jumbling tramp around the hall to the orgen strains of “How Dry I Am.” When the fuss was over, the oratory was turned on in three and a half hours of prohibition debate, despite a loud chorus of protesting *“noes” from the floor. Whole Works for Smith. ‘There were many speakers, but for former Gov. Al Smith of New York, | hailed as leader of the fight so soon to be won, the whole works was turned ‘There could be no doubt of the PLEAFORD.C.VOTE PLANK' REJECTED Fair Play for Citizens Asked by Landreau Is! | should announce really and unequivo- cally whether or not it shall be the | | policy of this body to protect by legis- | |lation the safety of the people who | | place their money in banks.” | “I would remind you that in 1912 | when we committed ourselves to bank- | | ing reform we enunciated as part of the policy of the party in the party platform, tut we did not say we would adopt any particular system, for we had to leave that to Congress. “After months of discussion and ar- gument and negotiation we enacted the Federal Reserve law, and we wish now to enunciate a policy for the party in the next Congress, where we undoubt- edly will have a large majority, which will make safe the deposits in the banks.” | Glass Opposes Plank. | Reserving a part of his time for a concluding argument, he yielded the floor to Senator Carter Glass of Vir-| nia, also a Treasury Secretary under | Wilson and one of the authors of the | law creating the reserve system, chosen | to speak against the plank | “This matter projected by Mr. Mec- Adoo is of such supreme importance to the harmony and success of the Demo- cratic party, and to the integrity of the ng Committee, that I would fecl t to my duty did I not at the ce of the majority of the com- mittee, protest against the minority plank ‘The plank will inevitably be con- rued by the banking community of the nited States, by the business com- munity, as a guarantee of bank de- posits, and that being so, it will create |a spirit of unrest and distrust of the McAdoo proposes to con- proposition to the 7,600 banks of the Federal Reserve Bank- tem. 1 tell this convention that opts this plank it will drive out ederal Reserve System the supporting banks that that in its membership.” n a cheer when he speech, which he de- cteristic vigor and strongest system Glass was gi finished his livered with ct emphatic gesture. Would Mean Votes. McAdoo, replying said there was no man he more respected than Glass, | “but when I hear him say we should not do this because it will arouse the opposition of powerful interests, he isn't talking democracy.” “He talks about banking secession if we do the things the interests of the people demand. In 1913 we had those threats from the most powerful banks in_the country.” If the party refused to take this step. he said, “you'll lose more votes than | you can count in a week.” “The whole West,” he declared, “is in favor of this sound proposal.” As he concluded, McAdoo stopped to shake hands with Glass before he left the platform. Chairman Walsh, post- poning a vote, presented Dr. Rufus A Hagood of Honolulu, who made a speech for a proposed plank to put the party on record for “home rule in Hawaii.” The proposal, he said, “does not mean independence.” “It simply means,” he went on, “that the people of Hawaii will have the right to recommend who shall be put into official position there.” As he left the platform, Hagood amended his proposal so that it pro- posed “home rule” for Alaska as well as Hawalil District Plank Offered. Presenting & brand-new _proposal, Willis E Reed of Madison, Nebr., a for- mer State Attorney General, asked that | the party declare “a moratorium ap home for a reasonable time, thereby | assisting the people in saving their homes and business”; direct the Inter- state Commerce Commission to readjust freignt rates “on the exchange value | basis”; determine upon a uniform rate of interest, and regulate “the value of the dollar.” A plank saying “we favor congres- | sional representation for residents of | the District of Columbia,” Who now have no vote on any subject, was pre- | sented by Norman B. Landreau of the Capital City delegation. Compton 1. White of Clark's Fork, Idaho, argued for a plank for a new | monetary system based on bi-metalism. | | A plank touching on this subject al- |Teady was in the platform, but it did | mot go far enough to suit the Idahoan. |, Caroline O'Day, Rye, N.

CHICAGO, June 30.—The right of the people of the District of Columbia | to have representation in their govern- | ment was presented today to the Demo- | cratic National Convention by Norman | B.

The overwhelming voice of the convention was in the negative, and Walsh declared the plank defeated.

Conservation development and use of interest. We favor the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. To effect such repeal, we demand that the Congress immediately propose a Constitutional amendment to purely representative conventions in the States called to act solely on that proposal. We urge the enactment of such measures by the several States as will actually promote temperance, effective- ly prevent the return of the saloon and bring the liquor traffic into the open under complete supervision and con- trol by the States. Would Protect States. We demand that the Federal Gov-| ernment_effectively exercise its power to enable the States to effectually pro- tect themselves against importation of intoxicating liquors in violation of their | laws. Pendng repeal, we favor immediate modification of the Volstead act to legalize the manufacture and sale of beer and other beverages of such alco- holic_content as is permissible under | the Constitution and to provide there- from a proper and needed revenue. 10.

Regulation to ths full extent of the Federal power of: (a) Holding companies which sell se- curities in interstate commerce. (b) Rates of utility companies oper- ating across State lines. (c) Exchange trading in securities | and commodities. Bank Depositors Aid. 11. Quicker methods of realizing on assets for the relief of depositors of sus- pended banks and a more rigid supervi- | sion of national banks for the protec- tion of depositors and the prevention of the use of their moneys in speculation to the detriment of local credits. The severance of affiliated securities companies and the divorce of the in- vestment banking from _commercial banks; and further restriction of Fed- eral Reserve banks in permitting the use of Federal Reserve facilities for speculative purposes. 12. The full measure of justice and generosity have suffered disability or disease caused by or resulting from actual serv- ice in time of war, and for their de- pendents. 13. A firm foreign policy including: Peace with all the world and the settle- | ment of international disputes by arbi- | tration; no interference in the interna- tional affairs of other nations; the sanc- tity of treatles, and the maintenance of geod faith and of good will in financial obligations; - adherence to the World Court with the pending: reservations; the pact of Paris abolishing war as an instrument of national policy, to be made effective by provisions for consul- tation and conference in case of threat- ened violation of treaties; international agreement for reduction of armaments; and co-operation with nations of the Western hemisphere to maintain the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine.
