Notwithstanding condemnation the
Democratic Philippine policy received
during the convention. the platform
dismissed that question as follows:
I'VE venture to hope that the action
of President Wilson In placing the up-
per house OF the Legislature (The
Philippine Commission) in control OF
the Filipinos will be found by its
practical results to have been wise and
that an occasion for It's revocation will
not arise"
The conference recommended that no
date be set for the withdrawal of our
supervision over the Philippines and
