Fisher of Yale University ! this morning appeared before the , platform committee of the democratic ! national convention and spoke at l length in favor Of mailing a proposed l tuberculosis plank in the party plat ] form. At the conclusion of Profes- l sor Fishers remarks Committeeman Tyler immediately moved for the adoption of this plank.
