Decisively Defeated Before
Platform Committee in His
Efforts to Force Adoption

PLATFORM SILENT

Wide Range of Subjects
Treated in the Platform.
(By the AsaAclated Preaa.)
M.finn Francisco, July 2. Framed nf-
1 V.Jr days and nlglita of struggle Willi
clashing -Interests and opinion, the
resolution committee's drnft of the
l platform wna lulil before the Demo
cratic iiotlunal convention today for
adoption.
Further conflicts In thp firniu of the
ronventinir trsclf wasr regarded as tw
tain. Irish sympathlr.ers anions the
delegates have served notice of their
purpose lo Kilt.to luive that plank re
written to iiM'lnile a'Tthl'tlfrlnratioit:
for diplomatic recognition of the Irish
V republic.
Dea'-vdvely defeated in his effort to
?oree a Hoiip dry declaration Into the
I ii (form William .T. B;"i!nn announced
.Mils purpose nffyvighut the hattlp on
the floor. IBvXihd also "several"
amendments to Hip committee' planks
to offer, Iip salil, hut did not disclose
the.?
committee s platform was silent
rohihitlon enforcement. It Is a
document, effort to produce a
ffet emphatic statement of principles
vlng lieen linlked from the outset.
A wldp range of subjects la treateil,
ncluiling, agriculture, labor, soldier
relief and score of more domestic snli-
Jeets. The preamble was brief. It. was
coiiflned to a trilme to the leadership
of President Wilson.
Foremost came the endorsement of
I Via lnninm of tinllmiu uliil mnilnmlin
IT tlon to the Republican congress for
41 having interposed "partisan envy and
II personal hatred" in the way of worth
' 2) tienee. The President's stnnd against
ii 41 'KHuirrntlnn. tlpsliriwwl tn flit tn ninceej
'I the vltul provisions of the" Versailles
treaty" was applauded, hut coupled
with tills declaration rnr th tattv
menf, written In after the prolonged
committee struggle, that the Democrat
ic party did not oppose "reservations
making clearer or more speeilte the ob
ligations of the I'nlted States."
Acompaiiying this was an assertion
that the President had repeatedly
declared and the convention now re
affirmed, that America's obligation as
a league member, "must be fulfilled In
strict conformity with the constitution
of the United States, emlHidied in
which is a fundamental requirement of
the declaratory action by Congress be
fore this nation can become a par
ticipant in any war."
The Irish plank, the center of hours
of committee dispute, was brief, and
specific reference followed the general
assertion reaffirming the principle of
national determination, as a war aim
"which victory established."
The Armenian plank, also expressed
sympathy but was' sHcnt on the ac
ceptance of the United .States of a
mandate over that country for which
the President asked the authority of
Congress.
. Among, other international subjects
touched on was the non-admission of
Asiatic Immigrants declared to be as a
-national policy "a true expression of
the judgment of our people."
The Mexican plank asserted that the
administration remembering: in an cir
cumstances that Mexico was an inde
pendent state, had been "unwilling
either to profit by the misfortunes of
the peoples of Mexico or to enfeeble
r t future by Imposing from the ottt-
-e a ruie upon meir mtiuihm nr.? cm-
V-i1 nrruoted councils.? Order; was "grad-
r i , uallv appearing there" as a result. It
added, and "at no time In many yean
have American' lives and interests

on many iicoounts. Including a warn
ing; of "well defined indications" of an
Impending assault on "vital princi
ples" of the Federal Reserve System
in event of a Republican success in
November. The financial plank 'ou-
demned the "pernicious attempt of the
Republican party to create discontent
among holders of the bonds of the gov
ernment" and "to drag uut public fi
nance and our banking and currency
system back into the urcnu of poli
tics." '
Failure to enact tax revision meas
ures "through sheer political coward
ice," 'also was vhnrged against the He
piildlfuins, Congress having made no
move. It was asserted, "toward a read
justment of tax laws which it denounc
ed before the Inst election and was
afraid to revise before the next elec

had been lieatcii by a decisive vote and
the ipiestioii wns brought to the con
vention floor.
Lust night's disappointed crowds
which had packed the big auditorium,
keen on the spectacle of William J.
Bryan setting off the fireworks, trail
ed to the convention again today de
termined not to lie created out of the
Ushow.
Cutler a program agreed upon Mr.
Ttrynn will present his. side of the ques
tlon In n speech limited to :t0 minutes,
and ltaiuliridge Colby will present the
other side in another .'0 minutes.
That arrangement, however, by no
means contincs the matter to one hour.
Any number of persons who may be
recognized bv Chairninn Robinson also
may he beard for .'!! minutes. In view
of Mr. Itrvan's well known fighting
spirit and his demonstrated staying
qualities, no one is bold enough to
predict that the light will lie a short
one. RwuiL reiieatcdly bus niioune-
eii hisr iletcrniitiatliift- for a platform
"no wet can run on" and his uiiiiounce
lucut last night assured a prolonged ,
struggle, and though the prediction of
the adinluislrutloii forces that they
would be able to "choke Bryan off"
were to be fullillcd there wns no pros- .
pect that would be carried out quick
ly. Exactly what took place in the meet- .'
iugs of the resolution committee last
night bus not been fully disclosed, but
it is known at the close of the after
noon session when all prohibition
planks had been voted out of theplat
forui, Mr. Bryan in n long und fiery
speech told the committee men tlitif
while he realized that the admiulstra-
t ion, forces had the votes .to put, over
. their program they would do so ut the
peril of bis opposition, whatever was
the full import of what Mr. Bryan
threatened it was sufficient to cause
the committee, ufter being till ready
to make its reporl, to reconsider Its
decision, and it decided to hear Mr.
Bryan nt a further session while the
convention waited. At this session
Mr. Bryan continued his attack on
tlie administration forces who pleaded
with him not to cause party discord.
Mr. Bryan, however, reports from the
inside committee room snld, " was
adamant, and the majority finally
gave up all hopes of conciliating him
nnd decided to face the proiiosition of
nn open fight on the floor.
With those prospects before it, the
convention when It resumed today,
faced the possibility ... of a program
that might curry it far into n night
session, after probably a short recess
for dinner. Whether the floor battles
could be ended in time to take up the
balloting for nomination before the
convention would have to quit from
sheer exhaustion, was a question.
Hon, Clyde R. Hoey, congressman
from the ninth district, will sneak in :
the court house tonight at S o'clock .
on the political issues of the day. KV
erylsnly is cordially invited to go out
and hear him.
