San Francisco, July 2.-Framed af
ter day and night session, following
long struggle with clashing inter
ests, the resolutions committees draft
of the platform was laid before the
national democratic convention today
for adoption. Further conflict in the
forum of the convention is regarded is
certain. Nrish sympathizers among
the delegates have served notice OF
their purpose to seek to have reWrlt-
ten plank which shall include nat
declaration for diplomatic recognition
of the Irish republic. ..
William J. Bryan has announced his
purpose 10 renew the battle for pre-
hibition on the floor and has stated
that he has several amendments to
committee planks which he will pre-
sent a. the convention He didn't
state the purpose of these additions.
The platform as submitted by the
committee is silent on the prohibition
Question. A wide range OF subjects
lis trea ed including agriculture, sol
der relief and a score or more of do
nestle questions The brief preamble
of the report is confined to tribute
to the leadership of President Wilson,
Foremost among the planks came
an endorsement Of the league OF ma
Itions and a condemnation of the re-
publican senate for having interposed
partisan envy and personal hatred"
in the way of world peace The
Irish plank is brief The specific ref.
erence is followed by general assert
ion re.aflirming the principal of ma
Itional self determination as a war aim
which victory established The
Armenian plank expressed sympathy
with the oppressed people but is
silent on the question of acceptance
