Democrats Scrap Rule And Approve Platform In Harmonious Session I Convention Thus Clears The Way For Renorai nation Of President Roosevelt and Vice President Garner; Fa mous Two-thirds Rule Thrown Aside With out Fireworks Convention Hall, Philadelphia* June J 25.?In swift-order, the Democratic national convention tonight abrogat ed its traditional two-thirds role and adopted a Roosevelt platform de claring frankly for an amendment of the Constitution "if necessary.". Without even a semblance of a floor battle, the convention thus cleared its decks for a noise-marked double session tomorrow?to end in the renomination of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The party's new platform, phased for the most part in general terms, and seldom going beyond a wide ' statement of objectives, called for "sound currency, government cen tralized relief, continued soil con servation, and agricultural produc tion of all the market will absorb." mn- -^ nn a I ine Diauunu rr 1U voice vote. There were a few "noes," ' but they were disregarded by the permanent chairman, Senator Robin son of Arkansas, who pronounced ac- ' ceptanee unanimous. The death blow was delivered to the rule requiring two-thirds to name a candidate, long a party cen terpiece, without any major dis turbance. Abrogation of the old rule was preceded by a fist fight in the gal leries before, a pro-<U Smith group was thrown-'out. :<~-Local Democratic officials ;lold the convention the distqfbance ^iraa caused by Re publican .^hoodlums." ' Is booming tones, Senator Wagner afr'New York, chairman of the reso lutitos committee read the plat form. It called for "sound currency so stabilized as to preVent the. form er wide fluctuations in value." Ott relief as on many other points, the platform referred directly to and took issue with the Repub lican declaration of principles adopt ed in Cleveland. 1 ? ? ? -.v;_ -1?ia "The issue IH UII9 Mr | plain," the platform concluded. "The American people are called upon to choose between a Republican ad ministration that has and would again regiment them in the service of privileged groups, and a Demo cratic administration dedicated to the establishment of equal economic opportunity for all our people." The convention adjourned at 11:29 p. m., Eastern daylight time, tonight, until 12:30 p. m. tomorrow, Eastern daylight time. The advance agreement to toss aside the 104-year-old two-thirds rule stirred wide surprise. Not that its repeal was unexpected; but the call for a reappointment of voting strength in future conventions had not been widely anticipated. * *"? - <4i?mute_ in Alter a uecjros???i J , which the almost solid South sud-j denly drew strength from ' New York, Massachusetts, New Hamp shire and Indiana, the abrogation - was voted by the rules committee, 36 to 13.

But then, apparently in an effort directing the national committee of the part/ to work out a formula for the change. But instead of being put into effect at the next conven tion, it will be submitted to the next ??^convention for action. ' > As the result of the convention's 'action tonight, President Franklin D. Roosevelt will tomorrow become K->the first nominee of the party in 104 years whose nomination requir > ed simply a hare majority. In fact, > he will receive all the votes, a circumstance which made . the -*ehaage in* rules possible, thq^pro-' > posal heretofore having always be come- entangled in rival candidacies. > But it is far from certain that the "ventioc, the earliest time it could go y? mm ine rules committee and its sub committee were unable to work oat Uf* definite formula because of the complexities which presented ? ? ? ??? .11, n BROOgJLTlf > ?' 11 ??

Senator Harrison submitted the report in support of his claim that , because of unequal ability of the ' States to pay for educational op- ' portunities for their citizens, Con- , gress should pass Harrison's bill providing a hundred million dollars annually in Federal aid for edu- j cation. nnmnor oK!TT_ ^ l^urui V^iUUUIia 9 UCU-)N?;ui5 ai/ia ty is $26.75 per capita, Harrison's 1 report shows. States having lower tax-paying ability are listed as Mississippi, $18.39; Alabama, $19.81; - South Carolina, $23.60, and Arkan- " sas, $23.88. At the top of the list stands Nevada, with a per capita ' tax-paying ability of $109.33. On opportunity offered its stu- 1 dents, North Carolina ranks eighth ' lowest in the country, according to Harrison's report. North Carolina expends $33.17 per year p?r pupil for public schools, the report shows, i The State spending least per pupil is Arkansas, where the expenditure ' is $24.08. The greatest expenditure l is $133.60, in New York. 1 Other tables in Harrison's report < show North Carolina is sixth lowest ] in per capita wealth, with $1,140 < per capita; third lowest in per copita income, set at $172 per year, fourth lowest in retail sales, at $114.50 per capita per year, and seventh lowest in total State and < local taxes per capita, the figures '? being $28.38. 1 Under Harrison's bill, as intro- < duced, North Carolina would get 1 $3,154,615 the first year in educa- i tional aid from the Federal govern- ' ment, with the amount increasing i each year up to $9,463,845 the fifth 1 and each subsequent year. 1 j Potatoes Bring Handsome Prsfit Pasquotank Farm e r s Estimated To Have, Earned Half Million < Dollars Elizabeth City, June 25.?Pasquo tank farmers today relaxed in their chairs, puffed contently on their 1 pipes and peacefully surveyed ram , soaked fielda?fields that have al- . ready poured $648,875 into the county , and bid fair to bring in an added $200,000 before tbfe "end of the potato digging season. S. G. Scott, produce dealer, esti mated yesterday that three-fourths of the potato crop had been dug, 650 j cars having been shipped from here, as nearly as could be determined. Of that number 556 went by rail, an additional 75 by truck and the remainder by boat. A well known produce merchant said that the total would probably run around $900,000 before the end of the digging. Camden, he said would clear $300,000 and Currituck $600,000, Discounting expenses, farmers have cleared in this county $483,715. To get these figures, Mr. Scott set an average of 190 barrels for each car, or a totalgpf 123,500 barrels. The average price for each barrel of potatoes sold this season was $5.25. *' One of . the ? largest individual growers in this section, the owner of several farms, stands to* clear more than $20,000.

These places are being used for testing grounds this year and if the plan proves workable and popular, it will probably be establish ed at all markets.

Tobacco growers of eastern Caro lina who may sell any or all of their cured leaf on the markets at Farm ville, Goldsboro and Smithfield will hold a referendum during the eight days of June 23 to SO as to whether they favor the inspection at govern ment cost of all tobacco sold at auc tion on these markets. The Agricultural Extension Ser vice of State College is cooperating with the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the United States De partment of Agriculture in assisting growers to vote on the matter. Any grower who sold tobacco at auction on one of these" three markets in 1935, according to Internal Revenue reords, will have the privilege of voting in the referendum. For any market, two thirds of the growers voting must be favorable before the Department of Agricul ture is authorized to furnioh the ser vice without cost. Ballots may be secured from the county farm agents and voting may be done by mail or at meetings called by the county agent. Any ballot mailed or deliver ed after June 30 will not count.

These grades will ?e written in a space provided for he purpose on warehouse tickets, hiring the auction, the grades will e announced by government em iloyees so that buyers and other per ons interested will know the quality f each lot.
