I5: if ;- as. i St' ft 1 i i v 1 I Pi v - PROHIBITION VIEWS - Democrats Get Platform Drafted for Adoption Last Night HOUSTON, Texas, June 28. (AF). Toe democratic conven tion' platform making committee sent word tale afternoon to Chair man Robinson that It would not be ready to present the platform to the convention before 7:30 o'clock tonight. The Information was that the committee was virtually through with Its drafting of the document bat that the mechanical process of printing and binding would re tjalre considerable time. Members of the committee said the drafting sub-cemmittee had been sustained on virtually every point by the full committee, but there were Indications that Got Dan Moody of Texas would file s minority report en the prohibition plank and endeavor to hare the conrentlon adopt his proposal for a bone dry declaration in place of the committee' proposed enforce neat stipulation. During the discussions on in ternatlonal affairs, the commit tee was asked to adopt a plank endorsing the League of Nations and the world court, but it was aid. no serious effort was made to lncludde these proposals and no planks to thle end were adopt ed. Mr. Waybright announced also that the following speakers were enlisted for the floor fight for a "bone dry" plank; Governor Moo dy. Senator Glass of Virginia; Josephus Daniels of North Caro lina, and Cone Johnson of Texas. Any attempt to starting ballot ing for the nominees before the platform is adopted by the con vention also will be resisted. Un animous concent is required for such a course, it Is believed, and one state can prevent it. While rumors spread about of such a program. Chairman Robinson de clared he knew of no plan for tlVs procedure. Bishop Cannon, who believes he represents the dry sentiment of the country, said that If the platform specifically mentioned enforcement of the - eighteenth amendment and the constiutlon it would be satisfactory to the pro hibitionists. . "It Is not necessary to specific ally mention prohibition," he ad ded. "We did not make the re publicans do It and since prohibi tion already is a law. its enforce ment is all we want."
