plank. calling for a liberal annual in

The first part of the navy plank
was stricken out
Labor and Statehood.
The plank proposed by Ex-Governor
Thomas, of Colorado, regarding LABOR
was adopted by the committee.

as follows:
1--WE favor the admission of the ter
ritOries of oklahoma and Indian Ter

The currency plank offered by Mi
Bryan was referred to a sub-com-
mittee consisting of Williams, Bryan
and Hill, with authority to draft q
financial plank for submission to the
full committee. The opinion was ex-
pressed that these men might agree
upon something and if they should, II
would probably eliminate any t1gh
on the floor of the convention.
When at $3.50 a. m. the last plans
drafted by the subcommittee mac
been read the members of the com
mittec applauded.
Mr.. Bryan said that if his desired
amendment to the trust plank ShoulC
be adopted, he would not press the
plank favoring the imposition OF al

Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Hill remarked tC
Mr.. Bryan that "since you and Mr.
| Hill seem to have become so chummy
think we had better look further
| into the trust plank. Discussion o.
| it thereupon was resumed. Mr.. Bryan
| defended his position on the trus

mount issue and that unless a ques

| settled at all.
Daniel on the Trust.
| Senator Daniel CALLED Mr.. Shively
| to the chair and made speech sup
porting the principle of antitrust leg
islation. He took the position. how
ever. that if enforced the existing in
| ter-State commerce law and anti-trus
statutes are sufficient and he believed
| that Democratic administration
could be depended upon to enforce
; them. Hence he considered it SAT-
| to omit the proposed plank.
The discussion continued at length
and unit! Mr.. Hill presented a sub
stitute for the trust plank. which wa
unanimously accepted and with APP
| Dlause.

Mr. Hill objected, and there was
prolonged discussion, Mr.. Hill taking
leading part in it.
Mr. Hill was opposed to the inser-
| ton of an income tax plank because
he saw no necessity for making this
new issue.
II believe" he said, at will hurt
us. it will weaken our platform, but
| if the members of this committee
think otherwise, it should go in but
the question of gold standard is OF
far more Importance"
Hill Appeals to Dixie.
Speaking directly to the Southern
members of the committee, Mr.. Hi
recalled the time of reconstruction
and said he had always worked foi
Democratic principles along Demo-
cratic lines; that he had been the
friend of the South in that trying pc
riod, and since that time.
Mr.. Hill in the course of his speech
talked eloquently of the personality OF
Judge Parker. He said that i'll the
course of a conversation about ten
DAYS ago with the New York juriSt
the latter said in reply to question
about the kind of platform the Demo
Gratis should adopt:
II am entirely willing to leave that
party"
But while Mr.. Hill did not assume
at any time to speak for Judge Parker
the committee interpreted the infer
ence of his speech to be that Judge
Parker favored the insertion of GOLD
plank.
Mr.. Bryan replied at length to the
argument of Mr.. Hill and insisted
that. in the face of past declarations
of the party, a gold plank would now
ALLEVIATE many thousands of Demo
cratic voters.
Senator Carmack, of Tennessee
made a plea especially for the South
and said that Democratic success wa:
necessary in the face of the Republic
can policy of Imperialism. It's recen
platform was dangerous to the South
He hoped some agreement could bt

paign as disturbing element.
Daniels Attack on Bryan.
| Shortly before O'Clock Senate
| Daniel created a sensation in tn
committee by an attack upon MI
Bryan which soon evoked cries TO
order from several members.
Senator Daniel, who. some time be

| chair, began by saying he questioned

| Democrats had twice honored Will
the Presidential nomination and un
der whose leadership the party ha'

At this point Senator Daniel was
interrupted with cries of order. y
Senator Tillman, who was acting
chairman, demanded order and said:
We'll, let's have order before this
meeting degenerates into a CONVERSE
tional row.
Daniel be allowed to proceed and the
latter resumed his speech by saying
that he had not intended to enter into
personalities. Continuing the Senator
said:

on the verge of a great catastrophe

Senator Daniel favored the gold
plank.
Mr.. Poe, of Maryland, made a brief
but vigorous appeal for the gold
plank, declaring that if the party in

existing fact he feared that Maryland
would be lost to the Democrats in
the fall elections.

The Gold Plank is Splintercd.

The question was demanded and the
gold plank was stricken out by a vote
of 35 to Is. Mr. Bryan got the floor
soon after the adoption of the motion
striking out the gold plank, and in
formally presented for the individual
consideration of members of the COM

his intention later to present as a
substitute for the gold plank.
