Following Short Session Democrats
Recess to Draft 1920 Party Platform

San Francisco June 2S.-tBy AS
sociated Press Special Night Wire(-
During its one brief session today
the democratic national convention
heard the keynote speech delivered by
National Chairman Cummings, and
delivered several prolonged demonstra.
tions for President Wilson.
When adjournment was taken un.
til tomorrow after a three hour ses-
sion the real work of the convention
began among the committees delegated
to write the platform, decide appeals
of contesting delegates ana select per
manent convention officers.
Still Man of the Hour
Demonstrations for President Wilson
began as soon as the session opened
and every mention of his name there.
after was received with cheers Dis
plays Of a portrait of him at the
back of the platform, stirred up II
45.minute uproar, during which nearly
all of the state standards were car
ried about the floor in the first pa,
rade of the convention. Mention of the
league of nations also aroused pro-
longed outbursts of applause and the
convention adopted unanimously Il
message of congratulation and adj
miration of the president.
Aside from the keynote speech to.
days meeting was given over to rou.
tine, the convention going through
the motions Of an approving committee
selections already made by the states.
Virtually no further business will be
done until the committees are ready
to report. All of them held meetings
today and all except the resolutions
committee expected to finish their
work by tomorrow.
Fights over prohibition, the league
Of nations and Ireland, however, prom.
sed to prolong the task of writing the
platform IN the resolutions committee
and some of the members thought 1t
might not be able to report for three
days. None of these questions came
sharply to surface during today's
convention session although Chairman
Cummings arugment for the league of
nations was interrupted by a woman
at the back of the hall, who wanted
to know something about Ireland 1t
made only a momentary stir.
When the convention adjourned Il
was on motion of Gavin McNab
of San Francisco. who moved that the
adjournment be as mark of respect
and appreciation of the late Senator
James of Kentucky, who presided over
the Baltimore and st. Louis conven-
tions which nominated President VII.

San Francisco June 2s.-(By Asso.
ciated Press Special Night Wire)-Rat-
ification of the treaty of Versailles
with such reservations as senate ma
jority approves is approved in the
plank Of William ]. Bryan dealing
with the treaty and the league OF
nations.
The Nebraskan tonight made public
his plank which is to go before the
resolutions committee. 1t follows:
The Bryan League Of Nations Plank
THE democratic party demands an
amendment to the federal constitution
providing for ratification of treaties
by majority vote so that it will be as
easy to end a war as It is to de-
clare war. Planting ourselves upon
the most fundamental principle or
popular government. namely, the right
of the people to rule---a doctrine in
support of which we have recently
spent over s25 900. 900 900 and for
which we have sacrificed 10000 pre-.
cious lives, we favor an immediate
convening Of the senate that this
principle may be applied to treaty
controversy and ratification secured
with such reservations as a majority Of
the senators may agree upon, reserving
for the future the making of such
changes as we may deem necessary.
1--WE favor a poirt made by the
president, with the consent Of the
senate Of delegates to represent this
nation in the league until regularly
chosen delegates are elected and qua
lifted.
1--WE favor the selection of the ma
tion's delegates in the league Of ma
tions by popular vote in districts in
order that the people may speak
through representatives of their own
choice in the August tribunal which
will consider the welfare of the worlG
"These delegates should be instructed
not to vote for war without specific
instructions from congress or from
the people, given by referendum vote.
"Our nations delegates should also
be instructed to insist upon the dis
armament of the world in order that
the burden of militarism may be lifted
from the shoulders Of those who toll
and the foundation of an enduring
peace laid in friendship ond co-opera'
ton"
The plank follows Mr. Bryan's de
mands for majority rule and was re-
garded as fundamentally opposed to
the Administration desires for dec
laration for ratification without de-
structive reservations.

world in the interest Of humanity, and
the advancement Of civilization. Long
may you live to serve America and the
world"

to cheer at They were in the mood
for II and they were not disappointed
Mr.. Cummings began in a quiet
voice, few shouts of louder" came
| from far back in the hal, but he had
not proceeded far before the great
throng was so still that every syllable
was carried to the highest galleries
II was a long speech. Mr.. Cummings
suggested that to his hearers. but
cries of go on" take your time"
met him. He drove his points home
hard and his audience was alert to
cap them with shouted approval At
one point, he chided the Chicago plat
fern of the republicans because it
contained, ne said, no word of hope
for ireland. no mercy for Armenia,
ard because it concealed sword
for Mexico"
Back among the alternates, a woman
leapcd to her feet at the mention Of
ireland, shouting hysterically some
thing about British tyrrany in Ire
land"
That's the answer; were not mem
bers of the league" Chairman Cum
mings called back at her but even
ds he spoke the sergoants at arms
were moving down to prevent further
interrurtion and delegates, intent on
their chairmans arraignment. of re-
publican policies shouted sit down.
A Masterpiece of Evasion
When Mr.. Cummings characterized
the Chicago platform as a master
piece Of evasion shout greeted the
attack and moment later when he
declared that the "old guard" had
sold the honor of the nation at Chi
cngo to name a ''Ieactonary candi-
date, it grew into a roar punctuated
with cries of go to it," hit 'eni
| again" That's the stuff.
The chairman went through tha
history of the league from the first
mention of it in diplomatic correspond.
ence before the United States entered
the war to the second refusal of the
senate to ratify the treaty that con
tains ii. He quoted utterances of
Senator Lodge and the late President
Roosevelt as saying that some con-
cert OF powers must be formed. He

enunciated by President Wilson had

Article Ten of the covenant and that
no word had been raised then against
it.
The real trouble with the treaty.
Mr. Cummings said. "is that it was
negotiated by a democrat" Uproarious
applause welcomed the jab.
The Nations Outside
When the chairman called the roll
Of nations already in the league and
asked the delegates If they wanted
to fear also of neutral states that had
or were about to join, shouts OF Tell
u.s." answered him. Nation by nation,
he named them and then asked If
the delegates wished to know what
nations had not Joined the league.
Cries of ''yes, yes, tell US" came from
all parts OF the floor,
Revolutionary Mexico, Bolshevist
Russia, Unspeakable Turkey. and
the United States OF America" he
answered.
A roar swept the hall that took
minutes to quiet.
When Mr.. Cummings concluded,
there remained but routine business
! to be done and II was rushed through
without incident. and adjournment
taken until tomorrow afternoon.
