Show Many Things
 It asserted that these investigations showed the immoral nature of the na- val oil leases; the unfitness of the At torney General to hold office, and cor. ruption in the Veterans bureau. Ref erence is made also to charges against republican members of Congress grow ing out of the Chicago grand jury in- quiry into the Veterans bureau.
 ''If only three cabinet officers are disgraced the democratic party asks how many more men are guilty" the platform draft adds This nation can not afford to have in office men of this character"
 :.A vote for Coolidge iA, vote for lcliaos, the plnnk concindes .Disbons esty, extrayagance and inefficieney now exist in the government"
 This and some 30-odd blanks in the platform were uncontroverted in the subcommittee, the only issues in dispute for the settlement by the entire com mittee being the declarations with ref erence to the Ku Klux Klan and the League of Nations. Five or six alternative proposals with reference to both the klan and the league were submitted and the commit tee settled down for what promised to be another all-night session. The sub committee was overwhelmingly opposed to naming the klan and against reaf- firmation of the 1920 plank regarding the league.
 Farm Aid Pledged
 The plank dealing with farm aid pledges the party to stimulate by ev- cry governmental activity the creation of cooperative marketing associations on a national scale; the establishment of an export marketing corporation or commission; the placing of agriculture on an equality with other industries development of internal waterways as an aid in reducing transportation costs of farm products; revision of the tar if and reconstruction of both rail and water transportation charges.
 The agricultural plank asserts that the republican policy with respect to Europe has been such as to retard the economic rehabilitation of that conti- nent with a result that that market has not been reopened to the American farmer.
 A pledge also is given of the adop- IlOn OI dn luLeFudJIOldl pO1ACJ OL SuSA cooperation by direct official negotia- tion instead of indirect unofficial nego- tiation as will restore a normal flow to Europe of the products of the Amer ican farms and factory.
 Reframe Dry Plank

 "The republican administration has failed in the enforcement of the pro hibition law" the plank declared. "The democratic party pledges itself to the enforcement of this law"
 Declaring that the transportation act has failed of it's purpose the platform draft declares for readjustment of rail tariff charges, abolition of the railroad

GASOLINE CUTS
 DUE TO FOLLOW
 ANTITRUST SUIT
Officials Expect Reduc- ton Of More Than
 Cent A Gallon
NEWTON D. BAKER

WASHINGTON, June 26,-The fed eral government, having aimed a ainaahing blow at the alleged gasoline mofopoiy iii it's antitrust suit against 90 oil companies, filed in Chicago We'd nesday, will follow throughH vigorous ly in an effort to bring gas prices down at once.
 An early hearing on the governments petition to restrain the 50 companies from allegedly illegal practices, which are blamed for holding gasoline prices up, will be asked by the department of porary injunction.
 If this is obtained and the alleged combination is set aside, government officials believe it's effect will be felt immediately by gasoline consumers. The relief felt directly would approxi- mate one to one and a half cents gall lon, the amount now paid by the prin- cipal defendant producing companies as royalties to big companies on distilla- tion patents, which the government claims are invalid.
 Long Wrangle Probable
 Whether or not this relief becomes permanent depends upon the success of the governments drive in the courts to abolish permantly the practices at tackled. This may involve years of court wrangling, revolving around the validity of the patents.
 Evidence of the earnestness with which the government is going into the fight is given in the staff of federal counsel engaged in the suit. Headed by Attorney General Stone himself, it includes Augustus T. Seymour, assist ant to the Attorney General, in general charge of all antitrust prosecutions for the governments drive in the courts F. Myers and Stanley W. Finch, spe- cial assistants to the Attorney General
 Stone FOregOes Vacation
 Seymour and Fowler probably will be principally responsible for the gov ernment's fight, it is understood here. Both are specialists in antitrust prose- cution work. Stone, however, will be ready in the background to step in If necessary. He intends to forego a va cation this summer and stay in WaSh- ington.
 There was some speculation here about the political effect of the suit, particularly in view of the inclusion of the Pure Oil company in the list of defendants. This company is largely controlled by the Dawes family. Its president, is Henry Dawes, brother of General Dawes, republican vice presi- dential nominee, who is also a large stockholder.

M'ADOO DECLINES
 TO MAKE SPEECH
Rockwell Reports Great Day For California
 Candidate
LRx Associated Press ]

NEW YORK, June 26.-Proposals by his adherents that he deliver a pub lie speech some place in New York to- night further outlining his policies and answering questions raised by his op- ponents was vetoed late today by Will liam G. McAdoo.
 The candidate spent most of the day in his hotel rooms receiving friends and delegations.
 David l.. Rockwell of Ohio, his cam paign manager, announced tonight that this had been very decided "McAdoo day" and that quite a number of dele gates heretofore counted as, belonging in opposition camps had called to de- clare their allegiance to the candidate from California.
 Although they opposed the motion for the convention to recess until to- morrow morning said McAdoo ad- herents tonight declared that the first roll call vote of the convention was very pleasing to them. They said their while it did not show their full strength. it gave the convention some idea of the number of votes behind the McAdoo boom.

Indianian's Position Most Secure Of All, Declares

 MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. June 26.-Moving rapidly into the fore casted deadlock, the democratic conven- tion has revived the hopes of score of favorite sons and dafk horses-hopes which had languished in the days inn mediately preceding the convention when conservation and prophecy cen tered about the then towering leaders, Smith and McAdoo.
 The most remote contender now feels that he has chance. The involved is- sue of the Ku Klux .Klan ,has forced from the subcommittee on resolutions an alternate pair of blanks. And this inability upon the part of the lesser body to select and determine upon a declaration of demoeracy's principles regarding the klan is but the isolated symptom which bears witness to the deep seated misunderstanding underly- ing the convention, both as to platform and candidate.
 Refuse to Admit Defeat
 New York refuses to admit she is licked. With the screaming tumult that was loosed with the mention of Smiths name when the governor was put into nomination by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Empire state bore wit ness to it's inability properly to inter- pret the signs aud portenta which tell tlle tor Of d def ~ kesl s50oHas ss s8s
 Judge Rockwell continues to beam with satisfied contentment. But to think that such an experienced cam paigner as he could fail to sense the undercurrent of feeling against McAdoo is preposterous.
 Tom Taggart, leader of the hopes of former Governor Ralston, continues on his quiet, friendly way. Taggart re- peatedly has declared that he is not against anyone. He sticks to his con tention that RalstOn will be the final choice of the delegates, and the peculiar three-cornered deal into which he en- tered with the Smith boosters is the most concrete evidence of confidence any candidates manager has exhibited to date.
 DOubIy Fortified
 Taggart has agreed with George Brennan, of Illinois, and with Smith, that if at any time during the balloting the New York governor can be nominat- ed with the aid of Indiana's votes they will be delivered. Thus Taggart is in a doubly fortified position. If Smith goes over it would be only by Taggart's conspicuous assistance, and if Smith fails, as he will, and the convention se- lects either Robinson, Davis or Ralston, as it appears it must do, then the Indi- ana boss still will have a one in three chances of winning.
 Of all the positions on the floor and in council rooms. Taggart's is most secure.

ATHENS, June 26.-One hundred and sixty-five of the POO officers in the Greek navy have mutinied, and are demanding the resignation of minister of Marine Hadjikyriacos.

 All naval aviators have joined the mutiny. Premier Papanastassiou re- fuses to comply with the demand to oust Hadjikyriacos, and the govern ment declares that all guilty parties will be punishd sternly. There is talk of executing the ring leaders of the movement
