made a child again for a week or
so. Yesterday feeling more swell
than usual, Mr.. Cheek, upon o1edi-
cal investigation, found that he had

he that he really did not have such
a childish trouble that he tried
some chow-chow pickle. After one
spoonful he put aside his Baptist

PARTY RESCUED
BY COMPROMISE
CONVENTION ADOPTS PLAT.
FORM AND THEN ADJouRNs
TO MEET roDAY-voTING
WILL BEGIN EARLY THIS
MORNING NOMINATING
SPEECHES EXPECTED SHORT.
LY AFTER BREAKFAST

Chicago, June 1o.-Rescuing the
party by eleventh hour compromise
from threatened split on the
league of nations issue the Repub-
lican national convention today
adopted platform and then ad-
journed to nominate a candidate
tomorrow.
Harmony on the league issue was
reached after many hours of/heated
negotiations evolving about the
subcommittee on resolutions but
bringing into consultation first and
last virtually all the big men of the
party. In the end the irrecon-
cilables and mild reservationists ac-
cepted a treaty plank drafted by
Elihu Root before his departure for
Europe several weeks ago but re-
vised in some details to meet the
views of the contending elements.
It condemns President Wilson'S
league covenant, upholds the senate
in it's rejection Of the treaty, and
indorses the principle of an inter-
national peace concedt in harmony
with American traditions. p.
The relative chance of the presi-
Dental candidates apparently was
little affected by the platform
agreement and on convention eve
there was no evidence no develop
ments which changed the situation
with Wood, Johnson and Lowden
leading, but without any one Of
them having delegates to nominate.
So far as the talk of these on the
inside revealed, the attainment Of
harmony over the treaty plank had
no reflex on any of the candidates
except possibly in the case of Sena-
tor Johnson. He will not now ap-
pear on the convention floor and
that is a disappointment to his sup
porters who had believed that the
appearance of their leader in
treaty fight would help his fight for
the nomination.
In accord with the plan to finish
up the conventions work on a skip
stop schedule, it was agreed to con-
vene at 9 a. m. and to hurry
through the nomination speeches
and remain in continuous session
until a candidate is nominated. The
plan seemed acceptable to most of
the campaign managers and it suit
ed the delegates because they are
worn out and anxious for the big
show to end.
The convention held two sessions
today. Meeting first at II a. m. it
quickly adjourned when word was
brought that the work of the reso-
lut.:ons committee still was uncom-
pleted. The second session began at
p. m. and then two hours were
whiled away in music, speeches and
cheering before Senator Watson
brought in the platform.
