 FRAMING PLATFORM
tContinued From Page one)

III ttIhiS lol SuuIiiSStoh No eiiS ~Nh' vention:
 Senator Stone, of Missouri; Senator Hollis, of New Hampshire; Represent ative Fitzgerald. of New York; Form CT Representative A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania: Senator Martin. of Virginia; Governor Stanley of Ken lucky: Senator Pomerene, of Ohio; Representative Rainey. of Illinois Senator Walsh. of Montana, and Senator Pittman, of Nevada.
 One tentative form for the wording of the plank which was being con sidered tonight but which was sub feet to change by the committee was as follows:
 Attention is called to certain or ganizations which have been attempt ing to influence the course of Ameri can lives and policies in the interest of foreign powers. Such organiza- tions are condemned and any political marty which seeks to take advantage of such influences is denounced
 This would be followed by de claration to make it clear that the plank is in no way to be taken as reflection upon the great body oi naturalized citizens, irrespective oi their race or origin. Representative Rainey of Illinois, who is leading the fight in the House TOT the tariff commission bill. will draw the tariff plank. Besides praising the nresent tariff law it is planned to de clare for a protective tariff for the dye stuff industry for a period or nrobably five years. Some of the Democrats expect a contest in the over such a protective feature but it will be pointed but that no dye stuff industry of proportions now exists in America and that the duties are intended solely to protect the new industry from the dumping of European dyes which is expected 10 follow the war and the resumption of acean transportation from the Central Empires,
