LEAGUE PLANK


change in the language of a plank
personally approved by the president
and reported on good authority to
have been written by him, was con-
strued by anti-administration commit
teemen as a defeat for the admins
tration. They pointed out that mem
bers of the committee were told by
the presidents spokesman here that
he desired his league plank adopted
without the dotting of an ''i' or the
crossing of a st"
The session at which the fight over
abe league occurred was marked by
unusual efforts by Sen. Glass, chair
man of the resolutions committee, to
keep secret everything concerning the
deliberations and action of the COM
mittee. All persons not members OF
the committee were ordered to remain
fifty feet away from the committee
room doors. Glass pledged the cpm-
mittee to absolute secrecy until the
platform was ready Tor presentation
to the convention.
Labor Plank Accepted.
When the committee met again at
10 a. m. today, the liquor and Irish
questions remained to be decided.
The strong labor plank reported by
a subcommittee which drafted the
outlines of the platform was adopted
without any opposition. Many other
planks also were accepted, commit
tee members said.
Bryan's fight for a dry plank will
reach its climax when the committee
meets again. Committee members
said that the liquor fight and the Irish
question might delay completion of
the platform until late Thursday.
Bryan Demands Silence
AS submitted to the full committee
by the subcommittee on drafting, the
platform was silent upon prohibition.
The~subcommittee preferred to let the
full committee decide for itself wheth-
er it wanted to heed the pleas of the
drys for a plank endorsing the eigh-
teenth amendment and pledging con
tinuation and enforcement of the Vol
stead law or accept those of the vets
who demand a pledge to modify and
make less stringent. the Volstead law,
and to give the separate states the
right to decide what shall be the alco-
holic content of beverages sold
W. j. Bryan was prepared to de-
liver a strong personal appeal for a
dry plank. or at least, for silence on
the question. Congressman SABBATH OF
Illinois and James r. Nugent OF New
Jersey were to argue the wet case.

"Of all the people who have taken
Tanlac, I don't believe there is any
one who feels any more grateful to
it than 1 do was the statement made
recently by Mrs. J. NJ. Craig, of 6741z
East Fortieth street, Los Angeles.
Like so many other families dur
ing the influenza epidemic last year
We all had it, and my own illness, to-
gether with the worry over the rest
of our, family, brought on a case of
genuine nervous prostration.
Fl was so weak I couldn't even
sweep the floor, and during the day 7
would have to lie down four or five
times. 1 tried to walk but found out
half block was all 1 could stand be-
fore gave out. Nervous spells came
on me often.
Every medicine I tried failed to
NFeacf- my case until finally my hus-
band urged me to try Tanlac, and 1
am indeed thankful that he did, for
it proved to be just what I needed.
1.-THE first two bottles didn't seem
to help me. I guess that was because
I was so extremely bad off, but on
the third bottle I could tell 1 was i'm
proving and that gave me more hopes
than ever of getting well.
MY improvement from then on was
rapid and by the time 1 had taken
five bottles of Tanlac 1 was better and
stronger than had been in years. I
was sleeping soundly at night and had
gained twelve pounds in weight.
"That was several months ago and
from then until now have been in as
good health as I ever was in my life
and have been doing all the house
work by himself.

lac has built me up and I have told
everyone of my friends and relatives

Optimistic McAdoo leaders pre-.
dicted his nomination within four

A cloud of gloom hung over the
camp of Governor Edwards of New
Jersey, today. This was partially due
to uncertainty over the ultimate ac-
ton of the convention on the prohibit
ton question, but most to the appar-
emit conviction among the New Jersey
men that the nomination already has
livery to McAdoo. One of the Ed
wards leutenants even went so far as
to say tits all over"
A cabinet member, whose name can
not be revealed, blossomed out with a
story to the effect that the balloting
was certain to go to a deadlock,
whereupon someone would cry, why
not nominate Wilson," According to
this cabinet member the convention
would thus be stampeded-but after
it was all over Wilson would decline
the nomination. The member of the

think it would then be up to the
president to come out in the open and
name his successor

The Palmer people were in claim
ing mood today, and while they were
at it they told the world they had
converted Secretary of State Colby;
that they would get at least IS of Vir-
ginia's "a delegates, and that they had
enough reserve strength to put over
their man any time they decided.
Aside from the three leaders, the
only aspirants who appeared to be
generally regarded today as still in
the running were Ambassador Daxis
and James w. Gerard. But they had
compromise candidates. The most

Vice President Marshall. There was
some conversation about Champ Clark
in that role, however, some of the
ever ready information mongers
spreading a tale that Palmer's follow

strength to the Missouri congressman
in the event the attorney general could
not win.
