NEW YORK, June 30-The com pleted Democratic platform of half a hundred blanks was submitted to the crvention late Saturday afternoon, when it reassembled, at three o'clock The plank on the ku klux klan adopt ed by the committee in it's majority report, was the Bryan plank which does not name the klan, only by infer ence.
 Other blanks include:
 A national referendum for the League of Nations.
 Future tax reductions and revisions'
 Tariff enactment.
 Legislation designed to restore the farmer again to economic equality with other industriallsts.
 Immediate independence of the Phil ippines.
 Establishment of a full Territorial form of government for Alaska.
 Strict public control and conserva- tion of the Nations resources.
 Recovery of all oil reserves fraud uently leased and the vigorous prose cution fany guilty of wrong-doing in the leasing transactions.
 Government control of the anthra- cite industry ,and all other corpora tions.
 6overnment control of the necessi- ties of life where the public welfare has been subordinated to private in terests.
 The Alaska Plank
 The full text of the Alaska plank in the platform reads:
 '"The maladministration of the af- fairs of Alaska is a matter of concedn to all our people. Under the Republi- can administration development has ceased and the fishing industry has been seriously impaired. We pledge ourselves to correct the evils which have grown up under the administra- tion in that rich domain. An adequate form of local self government for AL aska must be established and to that end we favor the establishment of a full territorial form of government for that Territory similar to that enjoyed by all territories except Alaska during the last century of American history" /"
 Excerpts From Platform
 The Democratic platform started off with an eulogy of President Will son, and a declaration of principles the first of which was, "equal rights to all and special privileges to none," the Republican party being accused of holding that prosperity must origi- nate with special interests and seep down through the channels of trade to the least favored industries and wage earners of all, and that the Re- publican party was chiefly concerned with material things, and the demo- cratic party chiefly with human right. The platform also declares that the Democratic party stands for remedial legislation and the Republican party stands still.
 After this platform urged a con- patison of the Wilson administration and the Harding Coolidge administra- tion. asserting "there is no corruption in the former and their pledges were faithfully fulfilled"
 Ittyas pointed out that "privilege was uprooted and the corrupt lobby ists driven from the National capital,

and 1t was further asserted that Am erica enjoyed an unprecedented period of social and material progress, up to the time the world war was enacted, and Wilson introduced more construc- tive and remedial legislation than the Republican party has done for cen tury. "Under Wilson we had leader ship that carried America to greater heights, honor, power and glory, than she ever knew before in her entire history"
 Republican Inefficiency
 The next heading was Republican inefficiency and corruption. The dec laration was made that the govern ment was never so tainted with cor ruption and never had the admins tration so utterly failed. The Repub- licans were accused of attempting to limit the inquiry into official delin- quencies, the platform declaring it was these investigations that sent former Secretary of the Interior Fall back to Three Rivers in disgrace and dishonor, and revealed the incapacity and indifference to public obligation of the secretary of the navy and con- firmed the general impression as to the unfitness of the attorney general and disclosed the appalling conditions of the Veterans Bureau, and revealed the criminal and fraudulent nature of the oil leases.
 Republicans Had Boasted
 The platform further said that the Republican party had long boasted it was the only party fit to govern, but had proven it's inability to govern even itself. The nation cannot af- ford to entrust it's welfare to an exc | cutive whose policies have been re- jected by his own party, and explain ed that "a vote for Coolidge was a vote for chaos"
 The platform declared under the heading "issues," that "the dishones- ty, discrimination extravaganza and inefficiency that exists in the govern ment and the burdens of taxation have become uncomfortable. Agriculture was asserted to be in distress and the slowing down of industry was causing high costs of living. The tariff was alleged to be destroying foreign mar kets and the high cost of transporta- tion was taking the profit from the mining and other basic industries. The platform then pledged the democracy to drive from public places all who make barter of National power and put nothing but honest men in office and practice economy in expenditures and reverence and respect the rights of all under the constitution, destroy ing government by the spy and black mailer the Republican administration encouraging and practicing both.
 Tariff Denounced
 The platform denounced the Ford ney-McCumber tariff as the most un- just and unscientific and dishonest tariff measure ever enacted in the his- tory of the country.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2.-Advances in the cotton market today carried prices to the highest levels of the week. The opening was higher and the advance still was in progress in the late trading, when it amounted to 35 to 48 points, and March was at 34 40Sc and October was at 27.90c. The close was Il to Al points net higher with the last sale of March at 34.0Sc and of October at 27.s6c.
 Opening gains were partly due to bet ter cables than expected, but probably more buying was caused by the news of Nthe recognition by England of the Russian soviet government, it being considered that this was highly con- structiye for cotton because it would open up a new export outlet for Lancashire. Buying was increased and the market carried to it's highest by reports that mills at one of the most important manufacturers in Georgia YVES going to run day and night. Late in the session the point in question wired that mills there were hardly averaging a full days run, but the telegram was received too late for general circulation. Reports from New York of a much better inquiry of cot ton goods caused more or less buy ing.
 The advance was made in the face of what was generally considered the best weather of the winter. Light rains were reported on the Atlantic. Tenn peratures were moderate and indica- tions were for only slight changes in the weather conditions in the, near fu- ture.

 IN WHEAT PRICE.
September Delivery Touches New High, Lifting July To
 Previous Record Price

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.--Anxiety overthe unprotected condition of winter wheat had much to do today with a price ad- vance which carried September delivery to new high record for the season and lifted July up equal to the previous high point. The market closed unset tied at a shade to 3sQAc net gain: May, $l.11 < 91.i1% to S1.11%, and July, $1 1.10h to $1.10T @1.11. Corn finished a shade to i4c down; oats at 14c off to hc up, and provisions varying from 7c decline ts a rise. of cents.
 With cold wave starting from Alaska and with nearly total absence of snow covering in the domestic wins ter crop belt, buying of future deliy- cries of wheat took place on fairly broad scale. The fact that the market had been on the upgrade for four sue cessive days led numerous traders to assume that something of setback was to be looked for, but throughout the board of trade session the major part of the selling was of a profit-tak- ing character. The chief exception was during temporary drop, due to gossip that imports of Canadian wheat had bearishly affected values at Minneap- oils. S1fs 8a @
 Bulls in the wheat market were on the alert for stimulating effects from the coming conference at Washington Monday to deal with plans for agricul- tural relief in the northwest. In this connection, talk was current about probable reduction of spring wheat acreage as well as about possibilities of tariff raise.
 Corn and oats sympathized at times with the wheat advance, but had to contend with reports that country of eerings of corn to arrive were some what more liberal. t
 Provisions were easier, with big pack CTS persistent sellers of lard.

ALL MARkETS SHOW
 GROWING STRENGTH
Stock Prices In General Are At
 Their Highest Levels

NEW YORK. Feb, 2.-Indications of underlying strength were furnished. this week the securities, comnedities and exchange markets.
 Stock prices in general were at their highest levels since last summer and had regained about 30 per cent of the. ground lost since last March, the peak of the bull movement which started in the fall of 1921. Bond prices improved in reflection of relativel% easy money rates. Cotton futures moved to higher ground on the settlement of thes British railroad strike and increased foreign demand. Wheat prices were bid up in speculative expectation of some sort of government aid foriShe northwest.
 The foreign exchange market was featured by remarkable Recent rally in sterling exchange which reflected heavy covering by Europeart specula. tors who apparently had looked for . disturbances in business and economic conditions in Great Britain when the labor party assumed control. Other European rates improved.
 Temporary firmness in money rates was due entirely to commercial de- mand for funds in order to meet month. end requirements, the feder6l reserve bank statements indicating that tAere was plenty of money available for legitimate commercial and stock mar. ket purposes.
