PLATFORM NOT
YET FORMED
democratic Sub Committee
Will Meet Again To-day
to Continue Work
LITTLE HOPE OF
COMPLETION TO-DAY
Senator Glass Brought Vir-
tually Complete Draft
from Washington

San Francisco June 30.--The Demo
cratic sub platform committee ad
journed without completing its worl
early this morning, and will meet agar
by Chairman Glass.
The subcommittee Of nine actually
framing the platform worked through
the night, although without promise of
bringing out the document to-day, but
with hope of being able to get into
position to pursue its work to final
ity with the full membership of the
resolutions committee.
The first snag was struck when Sen
ator Walsh of Montana, who was gen.
orally regarded as Bryan's choice for
the committee craftsmanship but who
withdrew without contest in favor
of Senator Glass, the administration
selection, opposed the plan of having
the drafting committee go ahead be
fore obtaining the views of the full
committee.
It was no secret that Senator Glass
brought from Washington virtually
complete draft of such platform as
President Wilson would prefer to see
written and that Secretary Colby, an
other member of the drafting commit
tee, brought with him league of ma
tions plank embodying the ideas, if
not actually the language of President
Wilson.
The drafting committee started out
with plan to go ahead with the
planks brought by Senator Glass and
Secretary Colby and build up the plat
form. Senator Walsh it was under
stood delayed that program by insist
ing that before the drafting commit
tee could go ahead with its work, it
would necessarily have to gather the
views of the membership of the entire
committee, formed in the light of the
public hearings. Mr.. Walsh contended
that the drafting committee was mere
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-06-30

ly an instrument to reduce to writ
ing the views of the full committee
That slowed down the proceedings con
siderably until to-day when the indi-
vidual members could be called in.
Meanwhile the Subcommittee contin-
ued to work in secret on other phases
leading up to the drafting and it was
announced with definite finality that
nothing was being decided and that
therefore, nothing could be announced.
The situation was reduced to ques
ton of whether the resolutions COM
mittee would accept the prepared
planks as brought from Washington by
Senator Glass and Secretary Colby or
insist on making platform of its
own,
Before the work of the drafting COM
mittee had progressed far, George
Creel, who was chairman of President
Wilson's committee on public informa-
ton during the war, joined the con-
ference. Mr.. Creel, who came to San
Francisco with Secretary Daniels, is
acting, it was said, as literary ad-
wiser to the drafting committee, to
polish up the phrases of the platform
as Colonel George Harvey did for the
Republicans at Chicago
Mr. Bryan, who had declined to pre-
sent his planks to the sub committee,
held aloof from the deliberations and
worked alone preparing for his fight
before the full committee membership
and later the convention itself.

BENNINGTON MAN DROWNED.
Boat on Lake Lauderdale Overturned,
Throwing Three into Water.

Bennington, June 30.-The funeral
was held to-day of Andrew Hummer,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. George Hummer
of this place, who was drowned in Lake
Lauderdale Sunday by the overturning
of a row boat.
Hummer, Wallace Madison and Os-
car Tetrault went out in boat which
they hired and in attempting to replace
an oar in the oar lock the boat was
overturned. Madison was the only one
of the three able to swim and he
reached land. Tetrault climbed back in
to the boat, but Hummer was unable
to do so and went down. His body was
found two hours later.
