against the attack OF Bryan. Cochran
and others who were attempting To
amend it
Colby especially struck precisely
the right note in his defense OF the
league OF nations plank. which was
written into the platform exactly as
President Wilson wanted IL.
There wasn't chance to change
the platform. even to the crossing
of an "a" or dotting OF an a." after
Colby and Glass had done their per-
feet work.
Finally when all the amendments
had been overwhelmingly defeated,
the steam roller went into high gear
and by unanimous vote the platform
was adopted.
Il had been a wonderful day. as
convention days go. when the chair
man, at about o'clock, declared the
platform adopted. with Mr.. Wilson's
league of nations Endorsed to the
limit and utter silence as to booze.
These were the two issues about
