CONVENTION HALL, Kansas
City, Mo, June IA party plat
form embodying the Coolidge doc
trlnes regarding farm relief, inter
national relations and economy,
WAS presented to the Republican
national convention today by the
resolutions committee.
The presidential campaign dacu-
ment condemned corruption of gov
ernment officials and citizens in
both parties, promised there would
be no deficit in this campaign and
offered the strongest prohibition
enforcement plank yet submitted to
a national convention by its com
mittce.
The McNary-Haugcn bill theory
of farm relief, including the equal
ization fee, was ignored as a result
Of the administration forces vic
tory over the farm bloc in commit
tee, after a sensational battle last
ing since Tuesday night.
Promises We're made for promo
tion of farm marketing lcgislation;
for increased tariff on agricultural
products affected by foreign compe-
tition; for government loans to en-
courage diversification and for
measures which will place the agri-
cultural interests of America on a
basis of economic equality with
other industry to insure its prosper
ity and success
Farmer aid Emphasized
All through the 5000 word docu-
mcnt the drafterS pointed to what
the party had done for the farmer.
There were eight outstanding
planks, on prohibition, honesty in
government, campaign expenses, ag
rieulture, the tariff, foreign poll
cics, labor injmctions and public
utilities. They may be summarized
with the following excerpts:
ProhiblticA-''T The people through
the method provided by the consti-
tuition have written the Eighteenth
amendment into the constitution.
The Republican party pledges itself
and its nominees to the Observance
and vigorous enforcement of this
provision OF the constitution.

dcplorc the fact that any official
has ever fallen from high standards
and that certain American citizens

Much Interest
Among Growers
In Bright Case

Judge Fin"4y S superior court
room was turned over 20 Judge
Mayfield this morning for the pur-
pose Of the holding of a jury trial
in the case of the people against
Fred r. Brign c.,arged with the
unlawful packing of cantaloupes.
Much interest was centercd in the
case and the courtroom was half
filled while the jury was being Sc
lected. Twelve mon had been ap
proved shortly before noon and the
trial was begun.
j. \. Sinclair, deputy horticultur.
al commissioner, was the first wit
ness to take the stand. He was
questioned by Edward b. Patterson,
prosecuting attorney.
The witness told Of having stop
ped a truck load Of cantaloupes be-
longing to the defendant at a point
near Seeley. He said that inves-
tigation of the load showed that the
melons did not come up to the re-
quirements of the state standardiza
tion law; that the melons were over
ripe and sunburned.
After stopping the truck, Sinclair
said that the melons were taken
back to the Bright shed in FL Cen.
tro by the driver but that he had
gone to another shed in Seeley to in
spect the repacking of some other
melons. Later, he said, two other
inspectors came to him and told him
that there was some trouble relative
to the melons and he returned with
them to the Bright shed here.
Sinclair said that he told the
workers at the Bright shed, that the
melons would have to be unloaded
and repacked and that after some
argument this was done.
Noon recess was then called.
Horton and Perkins are appearing
as attorneys for the defendant.

CONVENTION HALL, Kansas
City, Mo, June 14.=-Republiean
party leaders have narrowed the
vice presidential fight down to six
candidates-three from the mid
west and three from the east.
They Will confer tonight and
reach a decision which they will at
tempt to put through the convention
tomorrow.
The six candidates in the field
now are:
From the middle-west: Hanford
MacNider, Of Iowa; Senator Deneen,
of Illinois; Senator Curtis of Kan
sas.
From the east: Representative
Tilson of Connecticut; Senator
Moses of New Hampshire; Senator
Edge, of New jersey.
Vice President Dawes has been
virtually eliminated as the Hoover
forces did not want him, it was
authoritatively reported this morn
ing.
Before the leaders agree upon the
whether they will go to the east or
take a candidate from the west.
Disagree on Strategy
Two fundamental differences of
strategy are involved. One group
wants to pick the vice president
from the farm belt to offset
Hoover's S alleged weakness there.
That group feels that Governor
Smith, if nominated, is fairly cer-
tain of carrying the big Atlantic
seaboard states, and that the Repub-
licans should concentrate their drive
ON holding the middlewest for the
Republican ticket.
The other group takes the view
that the farm belt, being at heart
Republican from the time of the
Civil War, will rally to Hoover as
soon as the wounds of the conven-
tion heal and that the party should
mass its forces with a view of ear
rying the fight to Governor Smith
in the east.
Summarizing the advantages of
the respective potential vice presi-
Dental candidates, we find:
Hanford MacNider, of Iowa, for
mer assistant secretary of war and
past national commander of the
American Legion. He comes from
the heart of the corn belt, appeals to
younger voters.
Senator Deneen of Illinois
comes from Lowden 5 state and has
just defeated Mayor William Hale
Thompson and Governor Len Small
for control of Illinois. Illinois not
only is the leader in the fal~~ belt
movement, but is the third largest
state in electoral votes and will be
Il pivotal fighting ground.

\ discussion of the plan to ship
"A carload of melons to Houston,
turned down by the Imperial lrri-
CATION District and County Super
visor boards at joint meeting
Tuesday, was brought up at the
meeting last night. The previous
plan had been for the county and
district to assist in financing the
project.
Fred Ncbel-Thau, chairman of
the publicity committee, in report
ing to the board last night said
that he still believed it was feas-
ible publicity plan and that while
the plan would not be acked by the
county and district, there were a
number of shippers interested and
he believed they were anxious to
carry out the idea.
The directors agreed to continue
to sponsor the plan with the pub
licity committee to work with the
shippers of the valley in carrying
out the project While it may not
be carried out as extensively as
first planned, it will be done.

Postmaster Jenkins asking that the

The matter of the Laguna road
