SIGNAL DEFEAT FOR
WILLIAM j. BRYAN.
Bourke Cochran Of New York who
conducted the fight for inclusion Of such
plank. said the fight may be taken to
the floor.
The platform. as submitted to the con-
vantion, represents sigral defeat for
William J. Bryan, three times the
partys nominee for the presidency. He
differed with the president on the league
Of nations issue aad he fought tooth and
nail for inclusion in the plntform Of
bone dry plank
rndaucted and stin full Of battle.
Bryan was expected TO carry his fight
70 the floor and by offering amendments
seek to change the platform by direct
vote Of the full convention.
Only one OF President Wilson's foreign
policies went down TO defeat Ia the plat
form.
This vas his proposal that the United
States assume mandate for Armenia.
The Armenian plank in the platform
merely expresses our deep and earnest
sympathy" for the unfortunate people Of
Armenia, snd ignores the mandate asked
by the president.
One small concession was granted the
opponents of the league OF nations.
They succeeded in taking an amend
ment on the plank in the final hours.
which declared that the democratic party
does not oppose the acceptance Of any
reservations making clear or more spe-
cidc the obligations cf the United States
TO the league of nations.
This amendment was written in by Sen
ator David L Walsh of Massachusetts.

cheap and entertaining.
After two or more ballots have been
taken, probably late this afternoon. SEN
sible estimates can he made of the re-
spective strength of the candidates
William Gibbs McAdoo's position is
about the same as during yesterday. He
doesn't possess a two thirds majority,
but he is the leader.
He will begin to show his actual
strength on the third ballot.
The Palmer and Cox booms are run
ming under forced draught.
The Ohio governor is unquestionably
the more popular.
HALF DOZEN
ARE POSSIBILITIES.
Palmer seems to have in no substantial
way cashed in on his supposed Wilson
o. KID candidacy.
He will show well on the first ballot.
Palmer and Cox men may get to-
gether 10 hold McAdoo back but there $
no love lost twist these forces and trad.
ing is irksome
John W. Davis, ambassador to Great
Britain. remains in the background.
There is sentiment for him.
He continues to be worthy of Sharp
glances.
The lightning might strike Thomas R,
Marshall or even Champ Clark.
1t seems improbable. but anything is
possible.
Senator Robert L. owen of oklahoma
is not without warm friends
Homer Cummings Of Connecticut has a
look in"
Indeed, if McAdoo or Cox lack the
vitality to go over the top by the fifth
or sixth ballot the convention may
swarm to any one or naI dozen men
Those who see this performance as
an out and out Wilson dictation profess
that the gentleman in the background
might be Secretary of State Bainbridge
Colby.
They also have E T Meredith of Iowa,
the secretary of agriculture, we'll in
mind as a vice presidential candidate.
Joseph E. Davies of Wisconsin,
former chairman of the federal trade
commission, is mentioned considerably
today as a running mate possibility.
If they nominate here today the
democrats will, for the first time, ae-
cept all of the direct responsibilities of
running IN the face of the proverbial
