today but as a fight Is in prospect in
the committee on the prohibition and
Irish questions with another battle on
the floor of the convention over these
planks and the league of nations, lead
ers in control of the convention have
stopped figuring as to when the first
ballot will be taken. Voting for presi-
dent will not begin until the platform
has been adopted.
Blunt frankness and spirited clashes
marked the debate in the platform com
mittee in which Senator Glass, the
chairman, William Jennings Bryan,
Senators Walsh of Massachusetts,
Walsh of Montana, Pomerene of Ohio,
and Vice President Marshall took part.
THE action of the committee was not
officially announced, but, according to
authoritative sources, the plank adopt
ed recommends ratification of the
treaty and the league covenant without
reservations which would impair its
pSSenIldl integrity ~ tIiS was "N'NNN
an amendment by Senator Walsh of
Massachusetts, that the Democrats do
not oppose reservations which make
more clear or specific the obligations Of
the United States to the associated ma
tions in the World war.
The convention proceedings today
called for the final nominating
speeches. Ten candidates We're placed
before the delegates yesterday in an
eight hour session that was full of ora
tory and stirring demonstrations. In
addition to the name of Ambassador
Davis which was not reached yesterday
it was thought possible that the name
of Champ Clark might be placed before
the convention today as possible dark
horse in the event that the convention
finds itself in a deadlock.

Platform Silent
On Prohibition

SAN FRANCISCO, July l (Associ-
ated Press) The Democratic platform
az drafted by the subcommittee of
nine and submitted to the full com
mittee declares for ratification of the
peace treaty as requisite to preserve
the order and integrity of the nation,
suggests that the Irish question can be
brought legitimately before the league
of nations for settlement and is 81
lent on the subject of prohibition.
1t advocates collective bargaining
for farmers, opposes compulsory arbi-
tration of labor disputes, declares for
recognition of the new Mexican gov
ernment when it has established order
and calls on the legislatures of Ten
nessee. Florida and North Carolina to
ratifv the suffrage amendment.
In many respects the platform fol
lows that adopted by the Virginia
Democrats and publicly approved by
President Wilson. The league of ma
tions plank in particular was taken
virtually as a whole from the Virgins
platform though in other respects there
have been notifications and many ne"
subjects have been added.
Other planks praise the administra
tion's conduct of the war, condemn Re
publicans for extravaganza, criticized
the Republican congress for failure tt
revise war time tax schedules and dc
MES Republican claims of economy

A long, bitter fight so delayed the

erick L. Osgood of Saxtons River, in
the township of Rockingham, which al
so includes Bellows Falls. announces
today his candidacy for the office of
senator from Windham county in the
coming session of the state legislature
as Republican.
Not since the state primary law went
into effect has a state senator been
chosen from the north district of the
county, and while DR.. OsgoOd is not
urging that as a reason why he should
be elected he does feel that the north
district is entitled to consideration,
and in this opinion he is not alone.
DR. Osgood has had legislative ex-
perience having served as representa-
tive from Rockingham in 1917. His
ability was recognized by his appoint
ment as chairman of the public health
committee and as a member of the
committee on appropriations, which
committee had to do with the appro-
priation for the state house addition.
He is native Vermonter, having
been born in Chittenden, and was AZ
wears old Sept. 27. He graduated from
the state normal school in Castleton
and then entered the University of
New York, medical department, COM
pleting his medical course in the Uni
versity of Vermont, where he gradu
ated in 1894. He located in Saxtons
River in 1896 and a few years later did
post graduate work in medicine and
surgery in hospitals in London and vi
emma
Dr. Osgood is widely and favorably
known throughout the north part of
the county, as he has a large practice
in the northern towns, and he is a man
of pleasing personality. He is inter-
csted in farming and fruit growing and
owns number of farms.
For the past three years DIR. Osgood
has been a member of the school board
of the town of Rockingham, which i'm

Quite as important and interesting TO
the people of Brattleboro as the various
announcements of senatorial candidates.
Is Mr.. BARRIERS announcement of his can
didacy for town representative. For
some time he has had an ambition to
represent the town in the legislature,
and it is worthy of note that he makes
a straightforward statement and does not
say, as often is done, that he is yielding
to the solicitation of friends.
In all the public positions in which he
has been placed thus far Mr.. Barber has
made an excellent record. which augurs
wen for his future responsibilities to the
public.
He has been a resident of Brattleboro
ever since 1881, coming here from his
native town of Wardsboro at the age of
three years with his parents, the late Mr..
and Mrs. Daniel NJ Barber, and he has
been successful legal practitioner ever
since his admission to the Vermont bar
in October, 1908.
He attended the Brattleboro public
schools and the North street private
school before studying law and through
out most of his life he has had important
farming experience. The law firm of
which he is a member was for long time
Fl. G.. & F. +. Barber, the name being
changed to Barber, Barber & Miller on
the admission to the firm a short time
ago of c. Menzies Miller. The senior
member, H. G. Barber, served as attorney
general of the state next before the pres
ent incumbent of that Office
In September, 1910, Frank +. Barber
was elected states attorney for Wind
ham county, serving two years in an es-
pecially efficient manner, and in May
1913, the governor appointed him Judge
of the Brattleboro municipal court, which
position he held four years, being reap
pointed in 1918 Here also he acquitted
himself with credit.

and fraternal affairs, and he is mem
