Wets are divided as to the advisability of including in their program the Volstead modification advocated by former Governor Alfred E. Smith. The tentativelyagreed upon plank states: “Pending repeal, we favor immediate modification of the Vol i stead act to legalize the manufacture and sale of beer and other beverages of such alcoholic content as is permissible under the constitution and to provide therefrom a proper and needed revenue.” The revenue phase of the modification plank arouses considerable enthusiasm b.ut opposed to it

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT

I are those who contend that the prohibition problem should be attacked in the constitution without raising sideshow disputes over questions which might have to lie carried to the supreme court before they could be decided. The nine-man sub-committee has , the 1.300 word platform almost in its final draft. The prohibition plank caused some misgivings and committeemen decided last night to sleep on it before finally ap* proving the final text. Farm leaders appeared before the full committee last night in executive session and presented the claims of agriculture , for a living wage. The farm leaders expressed it as "production costs." The farm plank does not specify! the procedure, but promises to' cope with the problem of crop surpluses. It pledges the party io | improved rural credits and aid iu re-financing farm debts. HOOSIERS ARE STILL MYSTERY CONTINI ED FROM PAGE ONE posing. As indicated in the vote on the permanent chairman, victoryin the nomination may lie to no small extent with any one state. 1 As a result of the policy set out by R. Earl Peters, chairman, and car- i ried out by McHale, the delegation I has no instructions. Whether it : will caucus and attempt to decide I on a nomination choice is problem-1 atical. Adding to Indiana's prominence)' in the convention are numerous I signs in the Congress Hotel lobby I pointing out the Hoosier head- ' quarters and caucus room. In the ! convention hall. Indiana is seated directly in front of the rostrum I rear the mid-seetion of the floor.

DELEGATES ARE READY TO VOTE FOR PLATFORM CONTINUED FROM FAGB ONE I • forces and other anti-Rooseveh Democrats were continuing. James M. Cox. of Ohio, party candidate in 1920. here secretly, is laboring with various anti-Roosevelt leaders including the Smith group. These developments overshadowed the program today which was mainly confined to consideration of the party platform. The resolutions committee worked almost until the convention met. «- Roosevelt moderates appeared to have won out for a simple prohibition restibmission plank. Hut i vigorous extreme wets declared they would carry the battle fori outright repeal to the convention! floor. There was a prospect that some nominating speeches would be read late in the day. (Copyright, 1932, by UP.) CoTitetition Headquarters, Chicago. June 29. — (U.R) — The last ; frantic effort to stop Governor j Roosevelt is on. Hut it is a fight waged against | heavy odds. ■Just one crack was needed in the I opposition ranks to start a band-' I wagon stampede for Roosevelt. The opposing forces have only: 124 hours in which to work. Meantime the Democratic convention was to stage its prohibi-1 tion fight today in connection with adoption of the 1932 platform. Balloting on the presidential i nomination was scheduled for tomorrow yat the anti-Roosevelt | groups were far from united as the , decisive hour approached. Conferences in a certain pent-i house apartment out 1n the residen t tial district may decide whether! they can pool votes. Thus far they have been unable! to agree on a compromise candi- ■ date. Each one wants to hold on for the first ballot or two to make an initial showing for himself hop- 1 ing that the lightning will strike ( him later. Negotiations thus far have been based on Governor Ritchie of Maryland and Newton 1 D. Baker of Ohio as compromise choices. Roosevelt is more than 139 votes' short of having the necessary two-i thirds, according to test votes al--, ready taken in the convention dur ing the fight over permanent organization. De-legates assembled for the third session of the convention set for noon today much more concerned over this situation than over the party platform which was

the first order of business. The resolutions committee was called to meet at 10 a. in. to receive the final draft of the platform. Prohibition was the chief issue which remained in dispute. The issue is whether the party shall declare merely that a repeal amend ment should be submitted to the people, or whether it shall advocate repeal outright, with immediate modification of tbe Volstead act. Roosevelt forces prefer to stop with submission. They claimed to have a majority on the platform committee'. However, extreme wels held a midnight caucus and when it broke lup early today, leaders said they | had close to half of the platform 'committee lined up and believed ithere was a chance of the platform , being reported with a repeal <>*♦( vision. In any event a floor fight was certain. Alfred E. Smith was expected to take the platform to urge a definite repeal committment plus immediate modification of t*he Volstead act. Smith took no part in convention proceedings. He sat through most of the first days' sessions, in! the section reserved for the New l [ York delegation. The platform draft was held short this year. It ran about l.Strn; I words. The z Republican platform 1 i was almost ten times as long. After adoption of the platform at I today’s session, arrangements con

t.-mplated several hours of nominating speeches but no balloting. Probably about ten presidential candidates will be placed in nomination. The nominating speeches have been limited to 30 minutes each. Seconding speeches will be held to five minutes each. Roosevelt managers expected to put on close to two score of seconding speeches. Candidates lined up in the paddock include: Governor Roosevelt of New York; Governor Ritchie of Maryland; Governor White of Ohio; Governor Murray of Oklahoma; Siieaker Garner of Texas; former Governor Byrd of Virginia: former Governor Smith of New York; former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri. and banker Melvin T. Traylor of Illinois. Newton D. Baker, 'a leading dark horse, probably will i not be placed in nomination as ;Ohio is eommittecd temporarily to its favorite son governor. “I am more than ever confident tint Governor Roosevelt will be nominated on the first ballot." said his manager. Janies A. Farley, in commenting on the test votes over the permanent organization of the convention. Roosevelt won all three tests. The highest pro-Roose- ! velt vote was 658>£ in the Minnesota contest. This was lllSs short of two-thirds. On tbe Walsh-Shouse ; tight, the pro-Roosevelt vote was 98 more than a simple majority but 114 short of two-thirds. None of these ballots was an absolute index of Roosevelt strength. It is doubtful if Farley himself knows

exactly what he has. The game of the anti-Roosevelt forces is to hold on like bull-dogs to wear Roosevelt down They have been attempting to organise but without success. Conferences have been held in the quarters of a prominent Democrat who has remained out of sight and out of public discussion throughout the convention. Ille came here secretly. His role is that of a harm onixer. He has beeu visited by representatives of several candidates. Theae eonterancea have taken place late at night. They were suspended last night (tartly out of sheer weariness but also a lack of progress. Jouett Shouse, defeated by Roosevelt forces for the permanent chairmanship. has been interested in these negotiations. He sought to arrange a conference on behalf of Ritchie's manager, Howard Bruce of Marylan ' late last night but was unsuccessful. Smith himself participated in these conferences Monday night. His manager. Frank Hague of New Jersey, Bernard M Baruch, one of Ritchie's backers, and several others have working with this prominent Democrat in the interests of the compromise arrangement. These conferences are not quite of the “smokefi'led'' hotel rosm variety. They are being held in a Penthouse apartment som<’ distance from the loop. o Get the Habit — Trad.j at Home
