Prominence will be given to the plank advocating downward revision of the tariff, while the Payne AlGrich law will be condemned Begis- lation which had it's origin in the demo- cratic House of Representatives in Wash ington will be commended, and the lead ership of Representative Oscar ". Under wood of Alabama, chairman of the com mittee on ways and means, will be in- dorsed."
