on such a furious aspect that for the
moment It almost overshadowed the
nomination deadlock
w. Murray Crane, Of Massachu-
sets, former senator and old line
leader in many preceding convsn-
lions, was the central figure in the
Development. Emerging from the
obscurity which hitherto has sur
rounded his presence here, he gath
Oh ed about him group Of mild res
ervation advocates and informed the
platform builders they would make
a mistake unless they declared for
a league OF nations principle as
against the principle of no league at
all.
Because of the position Senator
Crane has occupied in previous party
parleys. the younger leaders mani
tested no PERCEPTIONS desire to an
tagonlze him. They recommended
their plan to adopt plank not con-
tanning such an affirmative declara-
lion.

NO MENTION OF PROHIBITION
Republican Party Has the Ability to
Fulfill World Contracts Without
Sacrificing National Honor.

Chicago.-The republican platform

vention here.
The treaty plank put the republi-
cans on record for "agreomnt among
the nations to presrve the peace OF
the world" ard declared the covenant
for the league "signally failed" to ac.
complish peace.
The treaty plank further declared
that the league covenant "repudiated
to degree wholly unnecessary and
unjustlfable' the policies Of Wash
ington and Monroe.
The foreign relations plank was
the last Of the platform and the per-
Grafton declared that the republican
party had ability ito fulfill our world
obligations without sacrificing our
national honor"
The treaty plank was adopted by
the resolutions committee with only
one vote against 1t.
The vote against adoption of the
treaty plank was cast by ]. Gross,
member from Wisconsin.
Prohibition was not mentioned In
the committee draft. Instead the
committee retained the sub-commit
tees plan of including a general pro-
vision declaring for enforcement Of

decisive part in the actual naming of

very much TO their credit. At least
one woman seconded the nomination
Of each of the candidates for the
nomination for the presidency, and
their speeches appealed to the audi

workers around the headquarters of

AMI strength in the balloting. For the

received demonstration from the au-

and most unusual features Of the con-
