proposals including the bone dry plank
by William j. Bryan and the wet plank
offered by W. Bourke Cochran. The
administration league Of nations plank
as reported by the committee was sus-
tanned against all attacks. The admin
istration supporters were in control by
heavy majorities all along the line.
The official result was 1862 ayes,
92912 noes.
The official total which beat the
Cochran moist plank was 12612 against
it and 356 voting for it. Eleven and a
half votes were absent.
Without a roll call the convention also
voted down Mr. Brsan's plank for the
publication of an official newspaper by
the federal government.
Bryan profiteering plank also was re-
jected by acclamation in quick success
sion The convention then voted down
also the plank offered by Mr.. Bryan
declaring against compulsory military
training in peace time.
The Bryan league of nations plank
shared the same fate. going out in a
great chorus of noes

backed by several organizations of
Irish sympathizers- and several other
planks which were brought upon the
floor after they had been rejected by

dry plank, but when the Ealioting began
ii became evident that most of the en-
thusiasm was personal tribute to his
past service to the party and not an
expression Of sympathy with his pres
ent views.
With the platform adopted the con-

voting on presidential candidates began.

Ado0 got the lions share of ii, nine
votes. In result. too, McAdoo had
a wide edge, taking four of the six
votes. Cox got more than any other
candidate in the Arkansas delegation.
Ten of Californias 26 votes went to
McAdoo
The first state from which Palmer
got a plurality was Colorado.
Connecticut cast her II solidly for
National Chairman Cummings. Della
ware and Florida both scattered their
strength widely and then Georgia cast
her IS all for Palmer aud Idaho fol-
lowed by giving all of her eight to Me-
Adoo.
Palmer got the best of the count in
Illinois, taking 80 of the 81.
When the 20 votes of Kansas were
cast solidly for McAdoo it became ap-
parent that the race for the best show
ing on the first ballot would be between
McAdoo and Palmer unless there was
an upset further down the roll of the
states. Many of the states were distrib-
uting their strength as Il compliment TO
various candidates, however and it
seemed almost certain that there would
be no nomination on that ballot.
Hearst Gets Vote.
There were some Kisses when Massa-

flash of hand clapping followed an

ton but that the Cox candidacy has been
weakened materially in the opinion of
Illinois leaders because of the state
ment of ex-Goyernor Campbell that
tended to make Governor Cox more of a
dry than a wet. Such wet spokesmen
as Anton J. Cormak, head of the United
Societies of Chicago. now say in the
open that they are ..off of Cox" 4
The belief obtains that the state will
vote now consistently and for many bal
lots if many are required, for Attorney
General Palmer. Poll of the delegation
made just before the caucus started
shows at least AZ votes for Palmer on
the first ballot with the chances strong
that this figure will go to 81 out of the
