The Republican platform denounced the New Deal activities as "insufferable" in contrast with the Democratic endorsement of the Rooseveltian administration and a sweeping pledge for continuance of its program. Chief Points of Friction The 2000-word Democratic platform was turned out along the lines approved by the President after almost two days maneuvering by the resolutions committee under chairmanship of Senator Robert F. Wagner, of New York. The chief points of friction were over the farm program and the proposal for a Constitutional Amendment. On the farm plank, the President's original ideas suffered little change in the hands of the platform drafters, the demand of Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.

Wallace for a Federal crop insurance pledge being discarded except for a vague statement to aid disaster victims. The platform contained a monopoly plank calling for "fearless enforcement" of the anti-trust laws and pledged a balanced budget at the "earliest possible moment."
