Notwithstanding the plank. patching
OF yesterday. the platform presented as
the work Of the Democratic convention at
National Guard Hall was imperfect.
The imperisction was not noticed until
after the post.prandial meal had been
taken and then a diligent search was
made for q lost resolution. It was n
Of those presented by DR.. Bergstsin and
was after much search found among the
papers on the Secretary's table. II Is
a. follows:
MORE PLATFORM.
Tenth Resolved. That We instruct and
hereby pledge our candidates for the
Legislature not to interfere with the bul.
lion iaX as 1t now stands on the statute
book Of our State.
1t had been previously adopted and
was incorporated into the ''wishy.
washy' platform. The addition u DR..
Bergstein's planks to the platform Gre
ated no little excitement especially a. II
was understood that the plank against
breaking pledges was aimed directly at
certain delegates who had been notorious
pledsc-breaksrs and who were seated In
the Convention. They were. however,
In q minority and were powerlsss to dc.
fend themselves against the open a..
sault OF DIR. Bergstein's keen blade. II
was a clear case OF "Pertrdnsiuit gladi1."
