Headed by Charles B. Warren, They Work Throughout Night WILLIAM HUTCHINSON I (I. N. tUff Cori-Mpondonti Cleveland, 0., June U-The Ropub-ilcan platform, on which President Coolldge will go to the poll In No-ember, wa completed early today a "planning committee'' of admin-" titration leader for ratification by national convention during the day. Fifteen Man Frame Platform Laboring all night long, fifteen men drafted the platform In Its final form, and throughout they closely followed the recommendation of Presl-Cent Coolldge.

The dominant issues were federal economy reference to the saving of billions of dollars by the Republican administration In taxes and govern-mental expenditures end endorsement of the Hardlng-Hughes-CoolUlge world court proposal. Among those men who drew up the platform were: Charles B. Warren, Af Michigan, chairman: Representa tive Martin B. Madden of Illinois; Senator Jamos E. Watson, Indiana.

Each plank was written Into the platform by a majority vote of the committee, and throughout the night the discussion was frequently broken by angry debate. Three of the can: dldates created a storm of dissension la the committee room. These were upon agriculture, the adoption of antl-Ku Klug Klan plank and a decision not to recommend the Mellon plan of tax reduction to (he Opening their session at eight o'clock last night the committee first disposed of the economy features of the platform. In this plank, the platform pointed out that the Harding Ooolldge administration vd 11,000,000,000 In two years, reduced taatea and flho national debt 12,500,000,000. An hour later the President's wish-M on a world court plank were adopted without dissension.

The first break In harmony came (when a proposal was made to en-(dorse the Mellon plan. Instead of approving the treasury board's program the committee wrote a plank proposing a commission to study the question of further, tax revisions. As the hours slowlv drifted cast. an Immigration plank without reference to the Japanese exclusion act, a party harmony plank urging election a regular Republican house and senate and a plank condemning misfeasance In office, but Ignoring specific mention of the senate scandals, were adopted. Prohibition Issues vara disposed of with a demand for law enforcement and other planks with equal facility.

The second real' fight came on the ntf-Ku Klnx Klan plank. At one time, the platform builders face.d a deadlock. The plank finally adopted, reaffirmed the racial equalities under the constitution and closed with a "guarantee of religious freedom." Opposition to the proposed plank led by Senator Peter Norbeck of South Dakota, "This plank will irritate th Klan." aid Norbeck. "I propose we either fight them or let them alone." Hit suggestions were voted down. Tb agriculture plank, left to the last, also caused an angry row.

Senator Gooding of Idaho, and Senator Norbeck condemned the Republican party for Indifference to the farrar ou warnea it would lose the west nnless federal aid were promised the farmers. "We'll approve the emergency tariff act," Senator Watson of Indiana, offered as a compromise. "That won't do." Gooding shouted. Tin sick of this dodging." Eventually harmony was restored by adoption of pUnk pledging the Republican party to extend every effort to place agriculture on en equal cenomlo footing with Industry. The meeting broku up Just at dawn.

WOULD CLOSE STORES 5 P.M.

Uniform closing of stores at Ave o'clock every afternoon throughout the summer season was advocated by members of the Mattoon Ad club at its meeting in the Association of Commerce Tuesday night. This was preferred to closing up every Thursday afternoon at one o'clock on account of undue inconvenience to the public, especially the rural trade. Questionnaires are to be jent to every merchant in the city In order to determine the attitude of all relative to the summer half-holiday pro ject, and the club judgment will be officially expressed after these replies have been received. It was decided to hold another "Bargain Day" this month, similar to the one May, and the following committee was named to project it and name the date later: J. E.

Casey, Albert Bower, M. R. Mount and J. W. Cole.

The club went on record as requiring its members and co-operators to carry out the "Truth In Advertising" idea and not to misrepresent goods, prices or other features of merchandising. A board of directors was elected to serve for the ensuing year, the membership being R. A. Owlngs, M. It.

Mount, Louis Katz, H. S. Newgent, C. E. Olmsted, G.
