A HAWKEYE TRADITION Overturned in Iowa Demo-
 cratic Convention THE HIGH LICENSE PLANK
Though Vigorously Fought By Veteran General John B. Weaver Was Inserted in Platform-Other Fea- lures of the Document

Ottumway, July 27.-Such townships and municipalities in Iowa as are will ing to pay high license for the sake of trafficking in liquor may do so in the event of democratic success at the coming election At least the plat form adopted by the convention today says so, but the pledge was not made without a fight, both in the commit tee and on the floor
 Former Congressman Martin Wade. chairman of the resolutions committee. defended the plank against a vigorous assault on the part of General J. B. Weaver.
 ''I am tired of belonging to a party known as a liquor party" said Wade. Where majority of a community desires liquor it should have it. and vice versa. That is personal liberty gentlemen, and democracy
 General Weaver was vehement in his reply "I don't know what would more make the democratic party liquor party than this plank"
 The platform as reported was then adopted with a shout and Weaver demanded a roll call on the liquor plank. so. as he said. that the people of the state would know exactly where the party stands. He made a motion to strike out the vital parts of the plank. but it was overwhelm- ingly defeated.
 Claude R. Porter, candidate for governor, made a ringing speech Frank HOlme, recorder of Scott county. was overcome by heat, but revived Many delegates were forced to leave the hall.
 The platform denOunces the tariff revision. endorses the regulation or railroads. telephone. telegraph and eX- press companies. an income tax. con servatiOn. the initiative and referen- dunn and recall, and the improvement of roads.
 It opposes the central bank idea, condemnes the postal savings bank law in allowing the withdrawal of savings from the communities where they are deposited. and accuses the republican administration of reckless expenditures.
