Platform Draft Attacks Republicans Over Corruption Funds
In San Francisco on July 3 the platform committee's draft denounces Republicans for corruption and money in politics. It attacks upbraiding the party on the League of Nations, taxation, profiteers, farmer aid, and living costs, while urging a Democratic win to curb money influence. It endorses the League with reservations, defends farm loans, and calls for strong anti profiteer laws, with a broad Irish sympathy and cautious Armenian and Mexican stances.
