KAW. Okla, June 25.-Reverting to
the regalia and rousing music of pio-
neer days, the Kaw Indians again have
expressed faith in their blood brother
Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas.
To the pulSing throb Of tomtoms and

of the tribe on whose rolls the name of
the Republican vice presidential nomi-
nee appears last night staged their IA
vorite dance IN his honor.
While dusky Indian fiappers added a
touch of the modern with their bobhed
hair and beadless clothing, the braves
and lineal chiefs again expressed the
devotion shown by the Senator's grand
mother, Julie Pappin, when she turned
him from her tepee more than so years
ago with the admonition to return to
his white relatives.

Secter Likely Rear Head Floor of Houston Convention
PLATFORM CHIEFS
S|FT SUGGESTIONS
Seek to Smooth Path for
Prohibition and Farm
Relief.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HOUSTON, June 25-With conven-
ton time approaching speedily, Demo-
cratic platform builders busted them
selves today in an effort to iron out
differences over the two most contro-
versial questionS-prohibition and farm
relief
A variety of views on both subjects
were presented and IL was agreed that
the resolutions committee faced diff
cult task in writing planks which would
harmonic these views. Should 1t fail
III that task, fights on the convention
floor would ensue.
Overnight conferences between party
leaders made IL fairly clear that the
committee would write a strong law
enforcement plank, probably nam
ing the eighteenth amendment, as did
the Republican convention at Kansas
City. Such a plank Is regarded as sc-
ceptable to the supporters of Gov Al
fred E. Smith, but whether this would
satisfy the ultra-drys remained to be
determined.
Farm Planks Prepared.
Several farm planks also have been
prepared by some Of those who will
frame the platform. Senator Key Pitt
man of Nevada, who probably viii be
chairman of the resolutions committee.
has one and others have been drafted
by Senator Bayard of Delaware. Senator
Caraway of Arkansas. Senator Tyson of
Tennessee and former Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska
These plankS differ materially some
declaring for the principle of the eouali-
zation fee of the McNary- Haugen bill
and others pledging the party in =
general way to put agriculture on
parity with other industries OF tn
country.
Most leaders frowned upon the sug-
gestion that the party declared for
specific remedy for the ills Of agricul-
ture They thought the platform should
point to the record of the Wilson adj
ministration in dealing with this sub
iect through the creation Of farm land
banks. and pledge the party to tako
whatever legislative steps that might BE-
necessary to restore prosperity TO tn
country's basic industry.
Corruption Stressed.
Vigorous declarations are planned OF
number of subjects other than pro
hibition and farm relief among them
fraud in elections, alleged corruption
in Government and tariff revision. As
most Democratic leaders view the situa-
ton, fraud and corruption must b.
made the outstanding issue in the COM
ing campaign and they want PLANK
dealing with these subjects as strong
as can be written.
1t is suggested that the tariff plank
call for an economic rather than a po-
litical tariff structure with agriculture
given an equal place with other indus
tries in the operation of the impost.
Tax reduction also will be treated, alonc
with a variety of other subjects. includ
ing foreign affairs. navy merchant ms
rine. veterans, relief. flood control, raj
roads. waterways and power.
