BITTER CONTROVERSY
BUILDING PLATFORM
ALL NIGHT SESSION OF PLAT
FORM COMMITTEE OF Ma
TIONAL COMMITTEE

Chicago, June 10.-The bitter con-
troverSy over the treaty plank in the
republican platform appeared almost
certain to be carried to the floor of
the convention today. All night eff
forts to avert the final crash proved
futile. While the platform waited for
the platform to be reported the reso-
, luton committee met an early hour
today to receive from the sub-com-
mittee partial report which covers
everything except the treaty and Mex
lean planks. At the same time in
subcommittee meeting the first for
NAL consideration of these last two
questions was to begin Negotiations
which went on until nearly daybreak
between those demanding a plank for
ratification of the treaty and league
covenant with reservations and those
who threaten to bolt if ratification is
mentioned seemed to have served
only to increase the rancor. The anti
leaguers of the BOrah-J ohnson group
declared with the utmost assurance
that the subcommittee would sustain
them by reporting plank contain
ing these ns-cOndemnation
in strong terms of the treaty and
covenant in the form submitted by
President Wilson, commendation of
republican senators for refusal 10
ratify in that form an approval or
the principle of an international Gov
er of justice to settle international
disputes Pledges that party will up
hold and maintain her promises of
foreign relations enunciated by
Washington and Monroe.

Chicago, June 10.-The republi-
can national convention met for thir-
ty minutes today then recessed until
a o'clock this afternoon to give the
resolutions committee time to go
over the platform draft prepared by
the subcommittee and agree on it.
Senator Mccormick representing tfe
resolutions committee, appeared be-
side Senator Cabot Lodge, chairman,
on the rostrum and delivered the
message from the committee saying
the subcommittee had reached an
agreement including a league OF ma
tions plank He asked adjournment
until o'clock and there was loud
objection to such course. AS the
band played THE Stars and Stripes

from the Coliseum. Even the dele
gates appeared to be in no hurry,

Chicago, June 10.-The sub-com-
mittee of the resolutions committee
unanimously adopted treaty plank
for the republican national platform
shortly before noon today after an all
nights wrangle. The agreement was
reached at a conference of Ogden
Mills, Senator William Borah and
Senator Reed Smoot. There is moth
ing in the treaty plank even intimat-
ing that the republican party even
favors ratification in any form, abso-
lue silence being maintained on that
subject The plank as agreed upon
provides, first, commentator oi

dations of senators who voted to de-
feat pact and covenant as presented
bv President Wilson; third, a state
ment in effect that any treaty must
conform to the the American ideals
of Washington and Monroe.

over the treaty plank and in the
opinion of party leaders greatly re-

tions committee agreed to a plank
which omitted entirely the thing for
which they have been fighting, an af-
firmative declaration for ratification
of the treaty with reservations. The
reservations were given concessions
by the Borah-Jo Johnson group OF bit
ter-enders in the matter of phrase
ology. but Senator Borah declared
after the agreement that the prin-
cipal of no affirmation in favor OF
ratification had been conceded. The

victory slip through their fingers yes

inning and four more in the first half
of the eleventh. Madison made one
the last one, in the second half of
the ninth. The tenth inning was
played with no scores. The final
round of the official score board
stood IL to 8 in favor of Huron.
