and the delegates stood and cut loose
with another crash of applause. Then
there were some more cries for Bryan
and clamoring for the fight over adop-
tion to begin
Bryan Presents Report.
Senator Glass moved that the plat
form be adopted as read and w. J.
platform to begin his fight for his mi
nority planks. He was greeted with a
minute Of cheering in which some del
egates took prominet part. Opening
his speech automatically with praise
for the platform, he declared it one Of
the strongest ever adopted by a political
party. He added that whatever differ
ences Of opinion there had been in the
platform committee had been over the
means and not the end accomplished,
but it was one Of the prerogatives Of
a Democrat to speak his own views.
Il am glad to come to you and say that
! am ready to endorse almost all that
is written there he continued, and an
uproar of approval and disapproval in
terrupted him.
Make it all, make it all" yelled sew
eral Of the delegates.
Under the rules Mr. Bryan was re-
quired to read all of his proposed planks
before the discussion Of any Of them
could begin The bone-dry proposition
he presented first and then followed the
declarations he had drafted for publica
tion of government bulletin, for deal
ing with profiteers and to put the party
on record as opposing compulsory mill
tary training in times of peace.
When he came to the last Of his five
planks, which dealt with the league Of
nations. AR Bryan prefaced its reading
by saying that nothing contained in It
was intended TO conflict with the ma
iority platforms words of praise for the
president The peace treaty, he added,
was better than any one had right
to expect considering the circumstances
with which the president had to deal:
Some noes interrupted the reading
of the Bryan league plank, but its pro-
visions got some applause.
It demanded an amendment to the
constitution for ratification Of treaties
by majority vote Of the senate.
Bryan confined his argument largely to
contending that any weakening of the
prohibition law was dangerous step
which opened the door to a breakdown
Of the whole prohibition law. Quoting
freely from the Bible Bryan captivated
his audience with flashes Of old time or
atory.
States Ratifying Amendment
Beginning his argument in support of
Great Falls daily tribune., 1920-07-03

the 18th amendment Mr. Bryan soon got
the convention to cheering. Every Dem
ocratic state, he said had ratified the
amendment and every one favoring
Tight and not darkness" Many OF the
newspapers he argued, were controlled
by predatory interests while many 9TH
ers erred unintentionally through the
influence Of advertisers, but every one
recognized that the liquor traffic is
dead, never to be resurrected.'
The only question is whether We
shall recognize it as dead he continued,
''or allow it to lie out on the ground un-
covered Decency requires that a corpse
be put out of sight"
The liquor interests, said, Mr. bryan
were not trying TO reopen the question,
but now had come down to advocating
wine and beer for home consumption
only He argued that to remain silent
on the subject would leave open the pos
sbiiity Of change in the law to lnereas-
ing the alcoholic content.
Il want to leave no opening for mis-
understanding or quibble," he said. $50
l have put into my plank the provision
that there shall be no relaxation OF the
| law What we hate is alcohol and We
hate it whether We find it in whisky,
in wine or beer.
seThey tell you that wine is a harm
less drink but you will find that
through the ages it has been wine that
cursed mankind.
"If you can't get enough alcohol to
make you drunk. why do you want
alcohol at all? Some tell you that if
you pass my plank some people will
leave the party. That is true; But
while you may lose some, you'll bring
in a number infinitely greater and when
they come they'll come out of love for
the principles for which we have de
| cLared."
When he prepared to turn to the
other plank he had presented there
were protests from the galleries and
demands that he go on.
.No he replied, while the crowd
cheered. but I'll come back to that
after awhile.

Satisfied That Oil
Prevails In Montana
Is Standard Oil Mar,
perial to the Daily Tribune.

SPECIAL to the DalIV tribune.
Billings, July Herbert L. Pratt,
vice president of the Standard Oil COM
pany, believes that oil in paying guam
titles will be found in Montana if drills
go deep enough. He spoke here before
members Of the Billings Commercial
club MIR. Pratt, with a party of friends
is on his way east after a tour Of the
Yellowstone park.
I'VE believe Montana is an oil pro-
ducing field,'' he said. "Oil is being
found in paying quantities in many
fields of the west, and if this supply
can be increased. as we hope it will
it will mean much for our large trade
i'll the Orient"
It is useless, in Mr.. Pratt's opinion,
to spend money on shale development,
as the cost is disproportionate to the
returns He also declared it imprac-
tical to seek oil where there are fis-
sures in the earth's surface, for the
reason that the oil gases pass off into
the atmosphere through these openings.
Mr.. Pratt spoke optimistically Of the
Wyoming oil fields and predicted in
creasing development there. He said
the Standard Oil company and other
large organizations must ultimately look
to the western fields to meet the short
age.

CARTER COUNTY POULTRY

MEMBERSHIP CAMPA| |GN

The Carter County Poultry Asso-
citation held an important business
at the office of the county superin-
tendent, Thursday. night, and many
important matters relative to a cam
paign for better poultry in the coun-
ty were fully discussed.
The association proposes to inau-
gurate membership campaign and
enlist every poultry raiser in the
county in the work. In this man
ner they hope to improve the breeds
and mako poultry raising a paying
proposition instead Of a diversion.
President Rees Evans made brief
talk, explaining the object Of the
organization to several prospective
new members who were present.
The work has been of great benefit
to raisers of poultry In the past, more
especially those residing in Ardmore,
but President Evans wants the coun-
try people to become interested and
enter heartily into competition at the
annual show with their friends of
Ardmore.
People living in the country Mr..
Evans stated are in better position
TO raise high grace poultry than those
in town, and for this reason he said
there is no reason why they should
not take advantage Of their oppor-
tunity, and also take a big share
of the prizes offered at the annual
show.
The association proposes to make the
poultry exhibit at the coming Carter
County Free Fair one Of its most at
tractive features, and every fancier
is beginning to get his flocks in
readiness for the event.
