CONVENTION HALL. Houston,
Texas, June 27.-Dcmocrats strobe
firmly today toward nomination of

Today s II o'clock session was
called to hear reports of credentials
and other committees, to name Rob
inson as permanent chairman and
to hear from him n ringing speech,
supplementary to the keynote ap-
peal of Claude Bowers of New York

Bowers had set the tempo of the
campaign with denunciation of al
legged scandals in the Republican ad-
ministration in oil and in campaign
contributions; and for its treatmet
of the farmer.
Nominating speeches may be un-
dertaken TODAY.
It seemed doubtful they would

SHA NJ BATTLE
WILL BE FOUGHT
OVER PLATFORM
BY PAUL X. MALLON
(United Press Staff Correspondent

HOUSTON, Texas, June 81. A
sham battle over prohibition, farm
relief and some other matters was
started today before the platform
committee of the Democratic Ma
tional convention when hearings
were opened on issues to be embod-
led in the statement of party prin-
ciplcs.
1t was a sham battle because
leaders already have agreed tenta-
lively among themselves as to what
will be done about the controversi-
al issues.
Nevertheless eight hours were al
lottcd for the attacks by the vets
and drys, Me Nary Haugenites, wom-
on $ organizations and every one
else with a pet hobby.
Moderate drys already have met
with representatives of Governor
Alfred +. Smith, the prospective
candidate and agreed on plank
which will pledge prohibition en-
forccmcnt by name and denounce
efforts of Republicans to enforce it
and all laws.
just to make the agreement iron
clad, Senator Tydings of Maryland
is going to put in II wet plank to be
pitted against the extremists dry
plank planned by Governor Moody
Of Texas BY providing these two
extremes the moderates believe they
will persuade both the extreme vets
and drys to abandon their planks
and swing into line
Smith in Control
IT matters not whether they do,
because the moderates and Smith
supporters control four fifths of the
convention.
The prohibition settlement is so
satisfactory that Senator Robert r.
Wagner of New York, who has been
appointed by the Tammany delega-
tion to handle all platform matters
for Smith, has turned his exclusive
attention to working out suitable
farm plank.
He has framed tentative plank
which endorses the principle Of gov
crnment aid for handling surplus
farm crops and providing for their
orderly marketing so that the farm
crs price may be protected III times
of plenty.
That is the theory of the Me
Nary Haugen bill for which Wagner
voted at the last session Of congress.
