OF Virginia, as chairman OF the res
oluttons committee which will draft

tional convention and the election OF
Senator Joseph T. Robinson OF Arkan-
sas, for permanent chairman OF the
convention, administration forces DEM
onBtratsd tonight that they were In
complete control Of the convention
machinery.
Any planis which William J. Bry-
An may desire to have inserted IN the
platform, and which fau TO pass ap-
proval Of the resolutions committee,
viii, therefore, have to be brought
INFO tne convention with the endorse
ment Of only q minority report.
Senator Robinson IS accounted
thorou2h-going administration man,
and he win be welding the gavel
whom any attacks are made on the
administrator program.
These two developments, demon
strating the control OF the admins
tration forces, while not lesseninS the
chances Of fght on the floor OF the
convention, wG4o pointed out by the
administration forces as evidence
that they had the convention in hand,
and in support Of their predictions
they would carry It through to the end
Senator Glass was not prepared TO
name tho subcommittee to work on
the platform at once, and plans went
forward for tho full committee TO
hear some Of those who had suggest
ed plAnks to offer.
The sub-comnittee appointed later
by Chairman Glass to draft the plat
form follows:
Senator Glass, chairman: Senator
Walsh, Montana; vance Mccormick,
Pennsylvania; Secretary Colby; NJ. II.
Crane, Texas: Senator Mcxsnar, Ten
nessee: Horace Hawkins, Colorado;

Tho fact that Secretary Colby, an
Acknowledged administration spokes-
man, got place on the sue-eomnit-
tee of nine which Will draft the plat
form, while william ]. Bryan did not
get a place on tho drafting commit
tee, was pointed out as additional rVi-
dence that the administration forces
wero In full control. SECRETARY Colby,
admittedly, will represent President
wilson's views on tho League OF Ma
tions plank.
