ure to repudiate such conspiracy re- ceivcs the benefit of it at the ballot box, was telegraphed here tonight from Washington and placed before Democratic leaders. As the resolu- tlons committee was engaged late to- night in continuing public hearings of persons urging various declarations, the plank, which promises to be the sensation of the Democratic platform, was not formally considered, and prob ably will not be until tomorrow when the subcommittee, which makes the final draft of the platform. has it's session. One tentative form for the wording was being considered tonight. It was as follows:
 "Attention is called to certain or ganizations which have been attempt ing to influence the course of Amer ican lives and policies in the interest of foreign powers. Such organiza- tions are condemned, and any political party which seeks to take advantage of such influences is denounced.'
 This will be followed by a declara- tion to make it clear that the plank is in no way to be taken as reflection upon the great body eff naturalized citizens, irrespective of their race or origin.
 Representative Raney of Illinois, who is leading the administration 5 fight for the tariff commission bill, will draw the tariff plank. Besides praising the present law, it is planned to declare for protective tariff for the dyestuff industry for period of rrnho hly fiuN Snp1o of Ihn Democrats expect contest over such protective feature, but it will be pointed out that no dyestuff industry of proportions now exists in this country, and that duties are intended solely to protect a new industry from the dumping of European dyes with tion with the central powers.

 In defense of American neutrality as strict and honest, one of the provisions would make an apparent, although not specific, reference to charges of partiality to the entente allies. and | would point out that questions lnvolv- ing not life, but only property, can be settled by indemnity and reparatior when the passions of war have sub- sided
 ] A permanent peace tribunal would I be advocated in one of the blanks, as court of arbitral justice to whicE all disputes between nations could be referred
 While the platform would dea' peaceful settlement of disputes be tween nations. it would declare that the navy should be sufficient of pro- l portions ana eIIlClency to make eIIec' tive the Monroe doctrine, and that ; the army should be of sufficient strength to secure the country against unexpected aggression.
