Chairman Jones Talks About the
Platform TO be Adopted at
Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 29.-Sena or
Jones, of Arkansas. Chairman of the Dem
ocratic National Committee arrived in
Kansas City tonight and in a brief i2-eI-
view stated that he did not think spe-
citic il to / declaration was necessary, If
the Chicago platform was adopted
He was asked the direct question, ii a
specific declaration would be made if the
Chicago platform was adopted and replied
with a question. Mould not the reaffirnIa
ton of the Chicago platform be a declara
rion in favor of I6 to l? / thing il would
be-"
He then added. with deliberat tion:
u don't think anything will be adopted
by this convention that would deviate as
much as the breadth of hair from the prin-
ciples laid down in the Chicago platform.
A reaffirmation of that platform would
be the readoption of every word and letter
in il, including the 16 TO ! declaration. |
do not believe that reiteration of that
plank or any other is necessary to make
plain our position. If ii is necessary to re-
state the l6 to l provision it would be
equally necessary 10 restate that relating
TO government by Injunction. the income
tax and every other provision. If the con
vention adopts the Chicago platform it
will mean that every syllable is endorsed.
/ do not know just what form the endorse
ment will take, but ii will mean everything
it says"
Just at this point some one broke in
with question as 10 whether or not per-
sons who did not support the Chicago
platform could support the Kansas City
platform, if it should reaffirm the former.
I'm not the keeper of censciences OF
such people and cannot tell what they
can do. replied Senator Jones.
When asked concerning the Nice-Presi-
dency he replied that he did not know
who would be nominated and had no in
timation as TO the favorites. The matter
of temporary officers would, he said, be
considered at the meeting of the COM
mittee.
To a question concerning the chairman
ship of the National Committee. he re-
turned an answer that he did not wish
to discuss the matter.
