11 i AVERTED FIGHTS ABOUT PLATFORN Spirit of Conciliation Marks Meeling 29 (P-—The marked Housten, June spirit ot conciliation the demccratic was strong ¢nough to which has national convention from the first earry through the party platform without a fight over the law en- forcement plank which had leen threatened for several days Both the ultra drys and the wets gave way in the interest of party harmony with the result that the eonvention approved a dry plank pledging the party and its nominees to “an honest effort to enforce the eighteenth amendment and all oth- er provisions of the federal consti tution and all laws enacted pur- suant the This plank was a compromise be- tween that supported at the outset by the Smith forcest and that pro- posed hy such dry leaders as Gov- ernor Dan Moody of Tex: Jo- sephus Daniels, North Carolina pub- lisher, and other outstanding lead- ers of the party in (he solid south The battle between the contend- ing forces was waged for liours he- fore the resolution committer be- fore that body accepted a compro- mise plank offered hy Senator Glass of Virginia, and pledging the de- mocracy to support the rohibition laws if given a grant of power from the electorate in November. Doubt About Moody Even after the committee had a eepted this revised plank, there was doubt as .to the attitude of the vouthful governor of the Lone Star state, but after the convention had heard the reading of the platform he took the speakers’ stand to an- nounce amid cheers that he would not force the issue on the conven- tion floor. Governor Ritchie, of Maryland, who had sponsored a plank pro- posing a return to the states of the power to decide for themselves whether they would be wet or dry. addressed . the convention for 15 minutes and quickly turned a par- tially hostile audience into a cheer- ing throng when he announced that he stood for party harmony. GWss Explains Senator Glass explained that the | plank in the party declaration need- | ed no explanation. Pounding the table in his usual vigorous manner, he declared that the man who took first placa on the democratic ticket must stand on the platform. De- manding an honest and uncomprom- ising enforcement, Glass moved the adoption of the platform and the convention responded with a roar- Ing ehorus of ayes and only a scat- tering of nays. With the prohibition fssuc thus amicably settled, party leaders were prepared to keep to the front al- leged corruption in government un- der the republican rule, which was strongly denounced in a plank re- viewing the ofl, veterans' bureau, slections and other scandals. The declaration for farm relief was &nother paramount pronounwe- ment by the party, which pledged itselt to enact legislation for taking crops, for the cre- co- care of surplus ation of a farm board to assi operative marketing organ and to give agriculture the samc treatment in the tariff that is ac- gorded to other industrice.
