of Former Governor

ST. PAUL, July 27.-With the open
ing of the Democratic state conven-
tion at Minneapolis tomorrow, only a
few hours away, the selection of a

efforts of those party leaders who fear
his alleged county option tendencies.
Among those mentioned as second
choices of the convention are Con-
gressman w. S. Hammond of St.
jones, Mayor James C. Haynes of
Minneapolis, Judge c. w. Stanton of
Bemidji and John J. Enswold of Du-

IOWA DEMOCRATS
ADOPT PLATFORM
Pledge High License in Event oil
Success in. Forthcoming
GubernatoriaI Election
ASSOCIATED Press)


OTTUMWA Iowa, July 27-Such
townships and municipalities of Iowa
as are willing to pay a high license
for the sake of trafficking in liquor
may do so in the event of Democratic
success at the forthcoming guberna-
torial election. AT least the platform
adopted at the convention of that
party here today says so, but the
pledge was not made without a fight,
both in committee and on the floor
Former Congressman Martin Wade,
chairman of the resolutions committee,
defended the plank against vigorous
assault on the part of Gen. j. b.
Weaver.
II am tired of belonging to a party
which is known as the liquor party"
declared Mr.. Wade. Where a major
ity of a community desire liquor they
should have it, and vice versa. That
is personal liberty, gentlemen, and it
is Democracy"
Gen. Weaver grew vehement in reply
81 don't know what will do more to
make the Democratic party the liquor
party than the plank he declared.
The platform as reported was then
adopted with a shout and General
Weaver demanded a roll call on the
liquor plans, so that, as he said, the
people of the state would know ex-
actly where the party stands. He
made a motion to strike out the vital
parts of the plank, but was over
whelmingly defeated.
p. B. Wolfe of Clinton received the
long term and H. @. Van Wagenan
the short term nomination for the su-
preme court bench.
MAKES KEYNOTE SPEECH
Jerry B. Sullivan of Des Moines, the
temporary chairman, delivered the
keynote speech, c. J. Sternger of To-
ledo presided over the permanent or
ganization.
A ringing speech was delivered by
Claude r. Porter, the Democratic can
didate for governor.
Frank Holme, recorder of Scott coun-
ty, was overcome by the heat as he
sat among his delegation but was re-
vived. Many delegates were forced to
leave the hall.
The platform denounces recent tariff
revision as a masterpiece of injus-
tice," declares trusts and monopolles
to be intolerable, opposes the Central
bank idea, condemns the postal saw
ings bank law in allowing the with
drawl of savings from the communities
in which they are deposited and ac-
cuses the Republican national admin
istration of making reckless expendi-
lures.
1t endorses, the regulation of rail-
ways, telephone, telegraph and express
companies, an income tax, the conserv-
alton of national resources, the initia-
tive, referendum and recall, and I'M
prOvement of roads. 1t urges a modi-
fication of the state primary law to re-
duce expenses and declares for the
oregon plan of electing senator's until
such time as it shall be possible to
do so by direct vote of the people.

Philadelphia. Pa, April 3o.-The ma

no definite action had yet been taken.
During the afternoon subcommit-

take the rules on which the committee
had agreed and codify them. The only
definite action which the committee
announced was the report of the sub
