FRIDAY
(TELEGRAPHIC)
CONVENTION BATTLING
' OVER PLATFORM
San Francisco. July 2—The Plat
farm Committee completed Its labors
at 12:25 this morning with a decision
to defer both dry and wet planks from
the completed draft of the platform
which was submitted to the convention
this morning. As a result of this de
cision the platform contains no men
tion of the pn’ohibition amendment
issue. The committee voted 30 to 13
against the acceptance of all. plunks
offered wich attempted to write a de
cision in regard to enforcement of the
Volstead law. The decision of the
committee is a severe defent to Wm.
Jennings Bryan. whose convention ac
tivities have l»een chiefly directed to
securing the insertion of a. plank en
dorsing prohibition. Bryan has no
tified the dry adherents that he would
carry his fight for bone dry to the
convention floor. A battle royal over
tlie pi.*tf wm is being waged in the con-'
vent>on this motrning and it is very un
certain whether balloting will begin
today. Fourteen names are now before
the convention, not counting that af
vice president Marshall, who declined
to permit formal use of his name. But
Marshall will got Indiana's solid vote
of 30 on the first ballot. It is con
ceded that no man before the conven
tion has the fight cinched. McAdoo is
apparently not as formidable a factor
as he appeared yesterday, though many
still believe ho will win.
NUMEROUS CANDIDATES
BEFORE CONVENTION
San Francisco, July 1—Chairman
Robinson called the Democratic Na
tional Convention Into session at 11.25
a. m. today. Tho convention pro
ceeded with the nomination speeches

parent an all night seasicrti would bo
(required to admit presentation or the
numerous names scheduled for nomi
nation. Attracted by the possibility
tliat balloting might commence today,
crowds started filling the hall long be
fore tho usual hour of their arrival.
Robinson ordared a continuation of the
roll call of states for providential nomi
nations. Delegate A. T. Pannett, of
I’altup, New Mexico, in seconding the
nomination of McAdoo said: “I want
to second the motion drafting McAdoo
for nomination." The.first mw name
placed in nomination today was that
of Senator Simmons of North Caro
lina, who was placed in nomination
by \V. C. Newland of that state.
OREGON DELEGATION
FOR McADOO
San Francisco, July 1—As the con
vention proceeds it appeals there is
little likelihood of balloting before to

broke into wild cheers.
