 Chairman Stone delegated the reading to Senator Walsh of New Hampshire and Senator Hollis of Montana. Senator Walsh of New Hampshire began read ing at 12.36 o'clock.
 The first applause given the plat form was for the indorsement of the administration. Before Senator Walsh had finished the preamble spectators began to leave and the noise made it difficult for delegates to hear.
 APPLAUSE FOR TARIFF
 Endorsement of the Underwood tariff act was given general applause The delegates seemed too wear1ed to in- terrupt with lengthy applause.
 The plank on Americanism drawn by President Wilson was next read. It was interrupted by handclapping. Its de- nunciation of conspirators for the ad- vancement of foreign influence in this country was roundly applauded.
 The plank was intently followed. Its criticism of disloyalty by some Ameri- cans was loudly applauded. Excoration of a political party that should receive such support, received similar ap- Drroyal.usyg 4n gfr
 Declarations for military prepared ness were also uniformly applauded.
 Close attention wes given the plank relating to foreign policies There was occasional scattering applause and cheers.
 The Latin American policy plank got some applause but more greeted the Mexican plank and frequently inter- rupted it's reading. especially the re- affirmation of the Monroe doctrine. The assertion that American troops should be kept in Mexico until danger of raids subsided was loudly applauded. The as- sertion that intervention "is a last

 erous approval was given to the tn- dorsement of the Presidents attempt to prevent intervention.
 After concluding the Mexican plank
 Senator Walsh was spelled" as Sem ator Stone characterized it in the read
 ing of the platform by Senator Hollis. The reading of the blanks went on to scattered applause but when the plank declaring for an eight-hour day for federal employees. civil service pen
 sion, child labor and the general well fare blanks were read, there were loud yells of "hooray" SUFFRAGE DEMONSTRATION When the woman suffrage plank was reached the galleries started 8 demon stration. Prolonged cheers, applause and whistling followed it's reading, empha-
 sized by Senator Hollis. The suffrage plank got more of a demonstration from the men than 1t did from the women. The peace plank was moderately ap- plauded so was that upon prison re- forms.
 The reading of the platform was fin- ished at 1:20. There were cheers and the band struck up again. Chairman Stone then moved the adoption of the platform as read There were some cries of "vote it down." there were other cries of shut up."
 Martin Lomasney, Massachusetts delegate objected to the adoption.
 After wrangle Senator Stone yielded
 to Lomasney 10 minutes of his time. Tt turned out that Lomasney wanted

CT, however. when Governor Ferguson of Texas. who headed the minority report against the administration plank, was given 30 minutes in which to present it.
 The plank offered by the minority was:
 "The democratic party always has stood for the sovereignty of tie sev- eral states in the control and -egula- tion of elections. We reaffirm the his- toric position of our party in .his re- sard and favor the continuance of that wise provision of the federal consti- tuition which vests in the several states of the union the power to prescribe the qualifications of their electors
 Besides Governor Ferguson, the re. port was signed by former Re7resen- tative Bartlett of Georgia, James R. Nugent of New Jersey and Stephen B. Fleming of Fort Wayne, Ind.
 The burden of Governor Ferguson s argument was that suffrage being purely a states right question, the wording of the majority plank was a presumptuous recommendation to the states on how to conduct their elector- ateS

OPPOSE MAJORITY PLANK

ocicS dlcS Ol lHe LOOT piled the governor with questions which brought out fresh argnme dts against the administration plank. Vixen Ferguson had finished the convention was in confusion and the tone of the uproar of the delegate sections was ir- dcative of sympathy with the oppon- ents of the majority plank
 When Seantor Stone took the speak er's place to defend the plank he was bombarded with a running fire of ques- tions and argument from delegates on the floor which eventually exhausted the time allotted to him.
 Anti suffrage delegates loudly chal- lcnged his references to Ferg usons statements with cries of That's not what he said" and That's no, fair" Many delegates openly took the posi- ton that the question was becoming much confused by the manner of it's presentation. Finally Senator Stone yielded to Senator Putnam of Nevada, one of the suffrage champions
 The crowd wanted to howl Putnam down and cried, vote, vote"
 Yes, I know you want to vote,' Pitt mann shouted at his opponents. You'd rather do anything else than hear the truth"
 Are you men who are willing to hear women denounced afraid to hear man say something in their behalf? I want to appeal to you to give your sisters and daughters and mothers the right to vote"
 Whats that got to do with this,'' cho- rused the delegates.
 Finally, ignoring lesser outbreaks and shouting above the din and confusion Putnam managed to get through with his speech.
 Senator Walsh of Montana then took the platform and in an impa ssioned ST eech swept aside the smaller questions

Hampshire and Walsh of Montana, mem- bers of the resolutions committee, came into the convention hall and proceeded to the rostrum. They said the platform had not been released with authority and that no one but Senator Stone, the chair man. could release the document for pub lication.
 RELEASE IS VIOLATED
 While Senator Reed was speaking Sem ator Stone of the platform committee, entered the hall, and although the plat form had not yet been presented to the convention, he authorized its immediate publication, because it had been pub- lished without authority and in violation of pledges of confidence in some parts of the country
