Under the provisions Of the an

Both measures are retroactive to

is thought, however, that the

Telephone calls poured into

Leon Smith, police telephone

have been responsible for the

President Garner is not expected to

One point of agreement here is
that as things stand today the out

All who make the study of such

that the presidential contest in the
long run comes down to the per-

The Democratic platform, adopt

commended for its brevity and
conciseness. There is little side
stepping and as little straddling,
and, if platforms mean anything to
the voter, the ten minutes spent in
reading this one will be worth the
time.
The record of the Democratic
party covering the past four years
is defended and commended in the
"self-evident truths" that form a
prelude to the party. pledges. It
enumerates certain inescapable obi
cations hat government in a mod
ern civilization owes to the people,
and that these obligations shall not
be neglected.
The platform points with pride
to party accomplishments in the
protection of homelife, in the safe
guarding of savings and invest
ments, and the foundations it has
built for the security of those who

are faced with the hazards of un-

1t defends the power rate yard
sticks, and declares that as a result
electricity has been made available
to the people at a lower rate, and
pledges the party to a continuance
of the program of rural electrifi-
cation.
The document declares hat 1--WE
have taken the farmers off the road
to ruin -. and promises a fair
minded administration of agricul-
tural laws and will seek to recognize
and meet new problems and condi-
tions." ~
The labor plank is the broadest
ever written into a party platform
and what is more it is backed by
past performance covering collec-
tive bargaining and self-organiza-
ton, free from the interference of
employers.
Unemployment is looked upon as
a national problem to be dealt with
by the national government, rather
than through conflicting effort of
f~orty-eight state legislatures.
1t promises to maintain the letter
and spirit of the constitution, and
that if problems cannot be effec-
lively solved by legislation within
the constitution, clarifying amend
ments will be bought to S the
proper power to deal with such
problems within the jurisdiction of
state and national governments.
1t endorses the merit system in
government and through the class
flied civil service, promises % en-,
brace the many continuing posi-
tons which, because of emergency
have been exempt from its opera

Again the platform is committed
to a reduction in the expenses of
government, and says: "Our re-
trenchment, tax and recovery pro-
grams thus reflect our firm deter
mination to achieve a balanced bud
get and the reduction of the ma
tional debt at the earliest possible
moment.
Granting that platforms may be-
variously construed and that they

is sufficiently emphatic that if any

and scampers off with it, same can
