ever kind of campaign we may go"
The republicans accept the issue
and admit in conference that they
have no man to suggest except Theo-

said. Another tremendous burst of
applause followed.

Raymond Robins of Illinois, the con-
vention's chairman, were mentioned
prominently for vice president.
1t was 1926 when Chairman Robins
called the convention to order. The
floor was filled, but alternates' places
in the galleries were not.
The opening prayer was given by
Rabbi Joseph Stolz OF Chicago. His
invocation called for divine guidance
for both conventions.
Platform is Taken Up.
Chairman Robins announced that
the report on the peace conference
was not quite ready and brought up
the conventions unfinished business
and the platform, to be read plank by
plank by Dean William Draper Lewis,
chairman OF the resolutions commit
tee.
The chairman ruled that the planks
should be taken up in order and each
plank approved when its reading was
finished. He said final adoption as
whole would be. deferred until after
the entire document had been read,
all amendments made and the peace
conferees report acted upon.
All Of the first paragraphs of the
platform were approved by viva voce
votes; later paragraphs were approved
by unanimous consent, shortening the
routine process.
The planks OH "Americanism" were
approved without dissenting voice and
without applause
Mexican Plank Amended.
| Mr.. Lewis, holding an Indiana
proxy, offered an amendment to the
Mexican plank to include criticism of
the murder" OF Americans on the
high seas.
| The amendment read:
Failure to deal firmly and prompt
ly with the menace OF Mexican dis
order and threatened violations OF
the rights Of our citizens on the high
seas has resulted in the wanton muir
der of OUR citizens and in the tragic
weakening of our national self-re-
spect." The convention by overwhelm-
ing vote approved the amendment.
To'the paragraph relating to peace
efforts Judge w. L. Ransom of New
York. member OF the resolutions
committee, proposed to add to the
declaration for equal rights to all
men in all lands" the following:
1--WE pledge ourselves not to con-
clude treaty in Russia or with any
other country that will not expressly
procure such absolute rights"
Dean Lewis did not object to either
OF the amendments.
Many cries Of No, no." greeted the
Ransom amendment. Chester Rowell
Of California, OF the resolutions com
mittee, opposed writing details into
planks, saying the committee had
framed the platform in broad, general
terms.

som, reading as follows, was substi-

The substitute was approved with
a roar of applause.
/ The peace conference committee
headed by George w. Perkins and
Governor Johnson, arrived at II 80
and the platform was laid aside. Mr.
