 Calls Bryan Wilson's Enemy
 Our quarrel is not with MT. Bryan r for what he proposes, but for the I method that he proposes and because he joins forces with those enemies of Woodrow Wilson who were so relent- l less that they were willing to go to his sick chamber and take witness of his body as to the qualities of his great mind.
 Talk about amend the constitution when women and children are dying and half the world is aflame? Why. Susan E. Anthony and her assistants and successors have tried for more than 30 years 10 amend the constitu tion.'
 Senator Glass protested against what he said was an attempt to take the credit for the league of nations away from the president and give it to Henry Cabot Lodge
 Turning to Mr. Bryau's prohibition argument, the speaker referred to MT Bryan's statement that there was an attempt to leave the corpse of the liquor traffic unburied.
 Not at all." he continued. but what we do propose is that we shall not drag that corpse from one end of the country to the other
 MT. Bryan assumes to speak for the home, but I challenge his right to be any more representative of the home than I am. I voted for prohibi- | tion long before MT. Bryan ever did" Senator Glass said he saw no req son to put into the platform any dec laration on either side of the prohi- bition question, though if he were to say anything on the subject he would declare that the saloon was gone for i ever. It was left out by the commit tee. he said. because it was not desired l to becloud the issue of peace. i "The question of Ireland" continued 1 the committee chairman, lis a complex and perpleXing question. The Demo- 1 cratic party has been long in sympathy l with the Irish people. But we are obliged to recognize our international 1 obligations and say what we say with 1 in the comity that exists between na- Etions. And with that in mind what we have written in the platform was ] the best that we could do
 As to the bonus, which I very care | fully and gravely considered as secre- ! tary of the treasury, l became inti- 1 mately enough acquainted with the i finances of the country to realize that ' if ever we embarked upon this thing it would bring us into such a serious situation as to jeopardize our securi- ties.
 GIorifies American Soldier
 'I glorify the American soldier. and it is because glorify him that l shrink from the idea of trying to compensate his sacrifices in dollars and cents The Republican convention said nothing on the subject; they don't challenge our affection for the American soldier" Senator Glass reverted to the league issue to say that he could not agree with Bryans declaration that he was willing to remit. the ten billions owed this nation abroad if that would estap- fish universal peace.
 We purchased peace with the blood of our soldiers" the speaker continued. and I am not willing that a single dollar of what other nations owe us shall be given up"
 He added that while he was secre- tary of the treasury that proposition came to him, and he wrote a letter which left no doubts of where this country would stand as long as he was in charge of the treasury. Because some newspaper men are liars, he continued, Mir Bryan wanted to insult all newspaper men by putting I into the platform a declaration for ar official government newspaper. Taking up Mir. Bryan's profiteerine argument, Senator Glass said he could not see why the profiteering plank was I presented unless one man thinks h, can write into the platform by himself a provision which the committee re- jected.
 He wants to drive the profiteer, into the Republican party" continued K the committee chairman. ''I want tt put them in jail"
 The crowd applauded the speecl many times and gave the speaker ; special rising demonstration of ap proval when he wound up a discussion of the committee proceedings by shout
 ing:
 4 The only thing approaching intiml
 dation in that committee was tn
 threat of Mir. Bryan to meet me III
 here on this speakers stand. and her am.
 Compulsory military training" sai \ Senator Glass, was not an issue, an,
 the committee had felt it was not tn X time to make it an issue. and serve no
 tice on our enemies that even befor N the war is over we are willing to g N into state of demoralization. T am opposed to compulsory mili h tarY training in time of peace" h \ continued. "but I am in favor of com a pulsory training in time of war" When the senator asked what els \ the opponents of the platform had pro \ posed. there were yells of Vote. Vote
 and Senator Glass replied: All righ \ if you want it that way" and picke up his notes and retired among ap N plause.
 Rejoice at Bryan's Defeat
 That ended the debate and Senate Robinson ordered q roll call on tn
 Bryan dry plank.
 As state after state announced a ms
 
 N repeated cheering and announcenel \ of the result of the ballot was the sis E nal for a renewed jollification by a of those who had hoped to see il Nebraskan turned down by the cor ventiOn.
 The next minority plank to come | for action was the dry pror~sals 1 Richard Pearson HobsOn. He askt for a roll call. but the request was m sufficiently seconded and the nlar
 was voted down in q great roar of di! approval.
 For the wine and beer plank prt posed by MT. Cochran. however. the
 seemed to be an almost unanimous d.
 mand for the ayes and noes. and rC
 call on it began.
