PLATFORM pledges HONEST LAW ENFORCEMENT AND (t'OVTIM I:i> l-’ltovi I'AGK OIVK> pm-tacie of feeling compelled in its national platform to promise obedience to a provision of the federal constitution. which it has flagrantly dis egarded, ami to apologize to the country for ils failure to enforce laws enacted by the congress of the Culled States. Enforcement Pledged "Speaking for the national democracy, this convention pledges the party ami its nominee to an honest effort to enforce the Eighteenth mu ndnieiit ami all other provisions of the federal constitution and all maws enacted pursuant thereto." Glass succeeded in eliminating from I the report, as presented by the com : miltee, a statement as to how the Eighteenth amendment and the Volsti id act could be ci pealed. Farm Relief Promised Tin- farm relief plank spoke in no >1" ' ilic terms about the McNaryHaii.m ii equalization fee system but il promt - d agriculture nearly everything a Democratic convention could offer without endorsing a Republican bill. It oft.-red a federal farm board system to handle the surplus, development of coopi :ative marketing faeilitii s and every possible effort to diminish the spread between tin- prodmcis’ sale price and the consumers' buying price. But the convention chose "Republican corruption'' as the big issue upon which the party will send Smith to ’ battle in November against Herbert Hoover, the Republican nominee. This plank was second among the 30 ' planks running about 6,000 words. "Shocking thieveries." "sordid corruption and unabashed rascality”. I compounded frauds," and "startling depeavitics” were the terms used by the platform to describe what the Democrats considered Republican in- ' | iqnities such as charged in the oil candals, and campaign expenditures ’ Investigations. Plans For Farm Relief The remedy for agricultural ills must he found in one of the four following things, the platform commit- ’ te ( . told the convention: 1 Credit loans by the government to co-operatives on a basis similar to gove'iimeut aid for the merchant marine. Creation of a federal farm board tu assist the farmer in marketing as 'lu federal reserve board has done 'for Hie banker and business man. S. Reduct ion of the spread between I the price the farmer sells for and the jniei the consumer pays, aimed apenenlly to reduce the profit's of the middlemen and the cost of transpor-
