What the governor Of North Dakota

tion upon learning that Gov. Adam

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

KANSAS CITY, June 1l.-tP-The
tentative draft Of the republican
party platform as ~embodying the ad-
ministration ideas on the questions
Of the day was completed today BY
Senator Smoot Of Utah, who Is 10 be
chairman Of the platform committee,
and those who have been collabor-
atIng with him.
This draft will be presented 70 the
committee after its formal appoint
ment tomorrow by the convention al
the open session. Along with it
there will be offered many other sep
arate planks 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 Idahoan 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 70 adopt and that he
wanted the issues clearly set forth.
with strong announcements 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 m
government and political turmoils IN
recent years would be proposed q
the resolutions committee.
The prohibition plan drafted BY
Borah. and which specifically calls
Tor rigid enforcement OF the eigh-
teenth amendment, was submitted "a
Smoot several days ago and the IN
Outstanding is that 1t was saIisfac-
tory TO the resolution committee
chairman.
This plank has been approved by
four Of the candidates FOR the presi-
Dental nominations and Senator
Borah expects its approval By the
committee. His other planks deal
with the outlawry Of wal and foreign
affairs generally. with disclosures IN
the federal trade commission invcsti-
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-o 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 been denominated as
the more radical" of the leaders still
insist that the equalization fee be re-
ferred to specifically in the platform.
This il strongly opposed By other
farm groups a. we'll as BY the admin
