I'LATFOKM ADOPT Ell
New York, June 29—The Na
tional Democratic Platform was
adopted at one thirty this morning
by a viva voce vote after the anti
< Ian forces had lost their fight by
a single vote to put a plank in the
platform denouncing the clan by
name. Only the powerful speech
by Bryari prevented the denuncia
tion of the clan in the platform.
The platform carries a general
plank on religious liberty and poli
tical freedom, and endorses the
League of Nations, but leaves the
question of American entrance to
be decided by a popular referendum
tinder a special act of Congress.
In an impassioned but loosing
i ppeal to the Convention. Newton
D. Baker said: ‘‘I served Wood
row Wilson for five years. I say to
him I did my best and am doing it
r.ow. He is still the Captain of my
soul. He is standing there using
n'.e to say these things to you.”
Paker made his plea to have adopt
ed the minority Wilsonian League
of Nations plank.
