BRYAN PLANKs VOTED DOWN
Result Of Prohibition Fight 10 That
Platform 10 Left Without Any Ref
erence to Subject. - Soldier
Bonus investigation Rejected

San Francisco, July 3.-The Demo-
cratic platform as framed in the res.
olutions committee. declaring for the
peace treaty, expressing sympathy for
Ireland and saying nothing at all about
prohibition. came unscathed through
a furious floor fight yesterday and was
adopted without amendment in a great
avalanche Of applause.
W. J. Bryan led the fight for amend-
ment, but his bone dry plank was
buried after dramatic day Of debate
by majority so overwhelming that
he did not even ask for roll call on
the four other minority proposals he
had prepared.
A cider. wine and beer plank cham
rioned in an emotional speech by
Bourke Cochran of New York also
was thrown out by the convention
along with a plank for recognition of
the Irish republic backed by several
organizations of Irish sympathizers.
In the battle for the platform as
framed the administration forces were
led by Secretary Colby and Senator
Glass of Virginia during n debate in
which both sides stirred delegates and
spectators to repeated bursts of emo
tional enthusiasm. Mr.. Bryan got a
bowling demonstration of 20 minutes
after he concluded his speech for the
hone dry plank. but when the ballot
ing began it became apparent thar
much of the enthusiasm was per-
sonal tribute to his past service to the
party, and not an expression Of SYM
pathy with his present views.
The official result was 1857 ayes.
9291 noes that finished Bryan's bone
dry plank. and the convention turned
to the next amendment to the platform
which was the plank offered by Rep.
resentative Hobson of Alabama.
The official total which beat the
Cochran moist plank was 7281k against
it and 356 voting for it. Eleven and a
half votes were absent.
Without roll call the convention
also voted down Mr.. Bryan's plank
for the publication Of an official news.
paper by the federal government.
The Bryan profiteering plank also
was rejected by acclimation in quick
succession. The convention then voted
down also the plank offered by Mr..
Bryan declaring against compulsory
training in peace time.
The Bryan league of nations plank
shared the same fate, going out In a
great chorus of noes.
A plank for commission to in
vestigate the feasibility of soldier
bonus also was rejected without a
roll call. The substitute on the Irish
plank was G75la votes against it with
4O2lR votes for it. The substitute
Irish plank declaring it is the purpose
OF the nation to recognize the indie
pendence Of the Irish republic also was
voted down by the convention.
With the platform adopted. the con-
vention was up with its schedule and
the voting on presidential candidates
began.

Two ballots on presidential candidates

cratic national convention and with
McAdoo. Palmer and Cox running ut

but all long way from the nomina-
ton. A recess was taken until $3.50
O'Clock this morning.
The McAdoo people, claiming that
they were certain to put their candi-
date over on the fourth ballot, opposed
the adjournment. which was taken on
motion Of former Representative Fitz-
gerald of New York. When 1t was
put for vote there was loud chorus
on each side of the question and Chair
man Robinson declared it adopted
while some Of the McAdoo supporters
were clamoring for a roll call.

strength widely and then Georgia cast

Palmer got the best of the count in
