San Francisco, Calif.. July 2. - The democratic platform as framed in the resolutions committed, declaring for the peace treaty, expressing sympathy for Ireland and saying nothing at all about prohibition, came unscathed throug fu- rious floor fight today and was adopted without amendment in great avalanche of applause.
 W J. Bryan led the fight for adoption of his bone dry plank, but it was buried after a dramatic day of debate by majority so overwhelming that he did not even ask for roll calls on the four other minority reports which he had prepared.
 cider, wine and beer plank, cham pioned in an emotional speech by ". Bourke Cochran of New York. also was thrown out by the convention along with a plank for recognition of the Irish re- public backed by several organizations of Irish sympathizers.
 In the battle for the platform as framed the administra ton forces were led by Secretary Colby and Senator Glass of Virginia during a debate in which both sides stirred delegates and specta- tors to repeated bursts Of emotional en- thusiasm. Mir. Bryan got a bowling demonstration of 20 minutes after he con- cluded his speech for the bone dry plank, but when the balIoting began it became aparent that much of the enthusiasm was a personal tribute to his past service to the party and not an expression of sym pathy with his present views.
 The Bryan prohibition plank rejected by the convention was as follows:

BRYAN DEMONSTRATION
 ONE OF NoIsIEST YET

Auditorium. San Francisco. Calf. July Civilian Jennings Bryan. with one of his old time speeches in support Of a bone dry plank for the democratic platform. turned the convention almost upside down late this afternoon with the mag netism and force of his oratory and started one of the greatest and noisiest demonstrations the assembly had yet seen. -sai
 When Bryan had concluded his reply to the advocates of a wet plank the dem onstration cut loose on the floor. and wholly unaided by the band or the organ or any of the other instrumentalities which had been effectively used to keep other demonstrations going, it proceeded spontaneously and resisted all efforts to get the convention back to order.
 Bryan, standing smiling in the lime. light at the edge of the speakers plat form, and with tears of emotion coursing down his cheeks, reviewed procession of prohibition enthusiasts who tore ID state standards and started a moving column of delegates about the hall.
