SkOOT MAKES
FIRST DRAFT
OF PLATFORM
Farm-Aid and Prohibi-
ton Included; Cor
ruption Plank Is
Without Names

KANSAS CITY, June 1i.-R-The
tentative draft OF the republican
party platform as embodying the adj
m%inistration ideas on | hequestions
Of the day was completed today BY
senator Smoot Of Utah, who IL TO be
chairman Of the platform committee,
n those who have been. collabor-
ating with him.
This draft will be presented to the
committee after its formal appoint
ment tomorrow By the convention at
the open session. Along with it
there Will be offered many other sep
arate pianks for consideration by the
committee, including half a dozen
drawn by Senator Borah Of Idaho,
chairman of the senate foreign rela-
tons committee.
While the ldahoan may get the
vote OF his delegation for the presi-
dency, he stated today that his sole
interest was in the platform which
the party is TO adopt and that he
wanted the issues clearly set forth,
with strong pro-nouncements on pro-
hibition and corruption in govern
ment and politics.
Senator Borah's corruption plank
carries no names but il was under
stood that the question Of naming
some Of those who have figured in
government and political turmoils in
recent years would be proposed %
the resolutions committee.
The prohibition plan drafted BY
Borah. and which specifically calls
for rigid enforcement of the eigh-
teenth amendment, was submitted 10
Smoot several days ago and the un-
Outstanding is that it vas satisfac-
tory TO the resolution committee
chairman.
This plang has been approved by
four of the candidates for the presi-
Dental nomination and Senator
Borah expects its approval by the
committee. His other planks deal
with the outlawry Of war and foreign
affairs geenrally, with disclosures in
the federal trade commission %investi-
cation OF the utilities industry and
the equalization Of the tariff as be-
tween agriculture and industry.
While party leaders still are hope
full Of setting all controversies over
the platform in the committee, II was
conceded that there was a possibility
of several Of the questions coming
before the convention through the We
hicles of minority reports.
Efforts TO compose the views of the
farm leaders on the agricultural
plank still went forward today but
with no immediate prospect Of sue
cess. What has beer denominated as
the more radical" of the leaders still
insist that the equalization fee be re-
ferred TO specifically in the platform.
This is strongly opposed by other
farm groups as well as By the admin
istration forces.

Our Party, the Party of class-con-
scious workers and poorest peasants
is therefore aiming at different kind
Of democratic republic. We aim at
a republic in which there is no police
hostile to the people, in which all
officials from the highest to the low
est, are elected and are liable to be
dismissed at any time if the people
demand it, their salary not being
higher than the wages of a skilled
worker. We demand that even the
officers in the army be elected and
that the standing army which is alien
to the people and is commanded by
a class which is hostile to the people
should be replaced by general arm
ing of the people, by a peoples
militia.
We aim at republic in which the
whole power of the state, from top
to bottom, belongs exclusively and
entirely to the Soviets of the Depu-
ties of the Workers, Soldiers and
Peasants.
The workers and peasants from the
majority of the population The pow
err must belong to them but not to
the landowners and capitalists.
The workers and peasants from the
majority of the population. The exer-
else of power and the administration
must be entrusted to their Soviets
and not to the officials.
These are our views, comrades.
peasant delegates! We are firmly
convinced that experience will soon
show the broad masses how wrong is
the policy of the Narodniki and Men
shevil1i. The masses will soon lear
from experience that the salvation Of
Russia, which is on the edge of 2
preclpice just as are Germany anc
the other belligerent countries, that
the rescue of the peoples tortured by
the war cannot be achieved by work
ing in common with the canita'ist-
but only when in the power of the
state is transferred into tn hands of
the majority of the population.
