WILSON FORCES
TIGHTEN CLAMP
AT CONVENTION
Backers Of President in Com
plete Control After Eliminat-
ing Bryan.
By HUGH BAuLIE.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)
San Francisco, July 3.-The ad-
ministration today remained in con-
troll Of the Democratic convention.
William J. Bryan. who loomed as
the biggest figure in the situation
as he conducted his whirlwind fight
to break President Wilson's plat
form, has been beaten down by the
administration forces. He got the
cheers but not the votes, in his dra-
matte appearance before the con-
vention, where he attempted to
sidetrack the League of Nations is
sue and put dry plank in the plat
form.
Early this morning Bryan, very
tired, scarcely able to keep his
eyes open, but still retaining his
famous smile, stood in his room at
the St. Francis shaking hands with
scores of admirers who crowded the
place, eager to congratulate him on
his great speech.
He murmured a few words to
each but even the effort to talk was
almost too much.
Now Only Delegate.
Bryan said he was not sure
whether he would sit with the Ne
braska delegation today. and he
would not say for whom he would
vote if he did so. There were q
few crumbs of comfort In the fact
that the convention had turned
down the wet plank offered by
Bourke Cochran of New York. Bry-
ans friends professed to believe his
oratory had something to do with
that.
Bryan's speech in support of his
dry plank and his plank fayoring
constitutional amendment to make
possible senate ratification of treat
les by single majority instead OF
two-thirds-which would have
killed the straight-out ratification
issue Wilson wants-was master
piece of eloquence. At the end,
hundreds Of delegates stormed the
platform to cheer him, and many
state standards were massed before
the rostrum in his honor. Tears
glistened on his cheeks as he
proudly held aloft the Nebraska
standard, thrust into his hands by
an enthusiastic delegate, while a
tumult of noise filled the auditor
ium.
Flayed By Sarcasm.
A few minutes later Bainbridge
Colby. administration spokesman,
was convulsing the same crowd
with quiet sarcasm directed at the
Nebraskan. He brushed aside the
dry plank as of no consequence and
treated Bryan's League of Nations
plank just as brusquely, as an am
ateurish, unworkable dream, not
| worth while bothering the delegates
about.
Then Senator Glass, who is very
close to the president, made a
speech of biting sarcasm, discard
ing the commoner's proposals with
contempt. Bryan, crimson to the
ears, looking very stern, sat on the
platform within few feet of Glass,
his lips tightly set as he was ridi-
culed.
| Bryan's dry proposal was
showed under, 929h to 1854. Rich
P. Hobson's dry proposal was bur-
ried beneath an avalanche Of
noes"

FAILS TO SHOW
vAUNTED PUNCH
Begins Third Ballot in Lead After
Taking Two Ballots, But
Rivals See End.
(By Associated Press)

San Francisco. Calf, July g.
The ground cleared Of preliminary
ballots and by rolling -administra-
ton victory in the platform fight,
the Democratic national convention
reassembled this morning at $3.50
to conclude the work Of selecting
q presidential nominee.
Predictions Of a McAdoo victory
on an early ballot filled the air
and they were accompanied by a
desperate stiffening Of resistance
against his nomination.
McAdoo or Cox, and McAdoo and
Cox were the leading predictions
coupled with talk of McAdoo and
Meredith. On the other hand, the
forces pitted against McAdoo point
ed out in answer to the claims Of a
glacial movement" toward Presi-
dent Wilson's son-in-law that he
had failed in the two ballots al
ready taken to make the gains that
were claimed for him: that Cox in
fact made greater accessions in the
one days balloting than did McAdoo
and that so far there had been no
tangible evidence of the McAdoo
landslide his supporters have been
predicting.
Palmer Situation.
The Palmer people made no par
ticular claims, but although in the
one days balloting they gained 10
votes, they lost more than that
from their original delegates and
replenished the loss from their re-
serve.
As the convention went into what
promises to be the final phase OF
the battle, the McAdoo forces re-
iterated their predictions of early
victory and the Cox people appar-
emily confident declared they would
not only hold their lines, but would
make accessions, and demonstrate
that their strength was little short
of the necessary two-thirds vote
for a nomination.
There was much planning OF or

ANXIOUS TO
GO TO ROOT
OF SUBJECT
Frisco Meeting More Like
Deliberative Body Than
Political Convention.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus).

San Francisco, Cal. July 81
William Jennings Bryan, as usual.
got a plethora of applause, but q
paucity of votes.
Five times the commoner was
voted down overwhelmingly, some
times by record ballots Of each
state and sometimes by a noisy
chorus Of noes"
It was a day of impassioned or
atory, outbursts Of fanatical en-
thusiasm and cogent arguments in
rebuttal. While the battle Of wits
was intense, good nature prevailed.
Speaker after speaker who argued
for changes in the platform said
in advance that the judgment Of the
would be accepted.
There were no threats of a bolt.
It was a lively, dramatic, all-day
session in which the effort to Sc
cure a recognition of the Irish re-
public was fought out in the open
and defeated. Similarly. the wet
and dry question was debated at
length and both the moist position
taken by New York and New Jersey
lend the bone-dry attitude Of VIII
liam Jennings Bryan were rejected.
The overwhelming majority of the
convention favored the view Of the
Atni-Saloon league that the subject
be not mentioned.
No Test of Strength.
1t is significant, however. that
out of 1904 Bryan mustered only
1851 votes for his dry plank while
New York managed to roll up 1856
votes for light wines and beer out
of a total of 1894.
Neither ballot, however, was
true test Of strength because many
delegations voted against both the
wet and dry planks, preferring to
keep the prohibition issue out of the
campaign just as the Republican
convention decided to do.
Perhaps the most surprising
strength was shown by the friends
of Ireland. They mustered 4021s
votes in favor Of recognizing the
Irish republic as against 676.
The Republican convention had
omitted all reference to the Irish
question.
Senator Hiram johnson was an
interested spectator. He had moth
ing to say for publication, but many
a newspaperman would have been
glad to get his comparison of this
convention with that Of Chicago in
point of enthusiasm. Perhaps the
cool climate had something to do
with it, but there was more time
and disposition to debate questions
here than at Chicago. 1t was DIFF
ficult indeed to refrain the commit
tee on platform from entering into
discussion OF details and the as
sembly resembled deliberative
body rather than a convention.
Delegates for Wilson Views.
Throughout the day the sympathy
of the convention with the aims
and policies Of President Wilson
was unmistakably emphatic.
It was nearly 8 o'clock, Pacific
time, when the platform was final
ly agreed to by unanimous vote.
Without giving a recess for dinner
in fact there was none for lunch
con either-the convention proceed
ed to the balloting. As was antici-
pated, the early votes were largely
complimentary and cast for favorite
sons who have no chance Of win
ming.
On the first ballot the differences
between the three leaders-Palmer,
Cox and McAdoo-were SO slight AZ
to carry no significance, Each
manager was saving votes for the
finish.

His victory not only brought him
the greatest credit as a player but
stamped him as a very courageous
star. He aggravated an old injury
to his knee sustained in football
days during the last stages Of the
tournament and was so lame yes

PLATFORM SAFE
after DEBATES
ON SUB ISSUES
Held Best Vote Getter In History
After Defeat Of Wet DRY,
Irish and Other Planks.
RY II. d. MARTN.

UNITED Press Stan Correspondent
San Francisco, July 3.-veteran
politicians today declared the plat
form adopted yesterday by the
Democratic national convention one
Of the best in the party's history.
from a vote-getting standpoint.
Satisfaction with the platform
was general among Democracy's
hosts. except for those who were
defeated in their efforts to amend
it after the resolutions committee
completed it.
The overwhelming defeat by the
convention Of all proposed amend
ments and the equally emphatic
approval Of the committees report
was clear evidence, party leaders
said, that the Democrats are lined
up strongly behind the Wilson ad-
ministration. The platform, lead
ers insisted, is in all its essentials
q Wilson platform.
To Compare With G. o. p.
So pleased are leaders they in
tend to take every opportunity OF
comparing the platform with the
Republican platform, declaring it
will inevitably be to the advantage
Of the Democrats.
That the presidents influence
was paramount In the framing Of
the platform was disclosed today
by Senator Glass. when he explain
ed why he and other administra-
ton leaders maintained silence on
the liquor question. That was
done, Glass said, so that nothing
should be permitted to cloud the is
sue nearest President Wilson's
heart-the League of Nations.
That the league issue Is now
clear and unmistakable the elec-
tion will constitute the solemn
referendum" which President VIII
son, in his Jackson day dinner let
ter demanded, there is no longer
any doubt, party leaders said.
They declared treaty planks adopt
cd by the Republicans at Chicago
and the Democrats here put it
squarely up to the American peo-
pie whom they will follow-Senator
Lodge or Woodrow Wilson.
Glass Changes . Plank.
Much comment was caused to-
day by a change made in the plat
form after Senator Glass read 1t
to the convention. The change
was made in the plank relating to
disabled soldiers, which reads in
part:
'The fine patriotism exhibited
by American soldiers, sailors and
marines-constitute a sacred herit-
age of posterity. the worth Of which
can never be recompensed from
the treasury, and the glory Of
which must not be diminished by
any such expedients."
The change consisted in elimina-
tion of the words "by any such ex-
pedients." Senator Glass explain
ed that the words had been left in
by mistake in copying the plat
form. Some delegates, however,
construed the change as a precau-
ton to prevent the party being toe
badly committed against a cash
bonus for soldiers.
Irish Swear Revenge.
| Defeated advocates OF an Irish
plank declaring for the recogni.
tion Of the Irish republic were
openly swearing vengeance today
on both the Republican and Demo.
cratic parties.
Woman suffragists, the League Of
Women Voters and other organiza.
tions of women. were frankly pleas.
ed with the treatment accorded
them.
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1920-07-03
No Change In Sighf.

There was cOnIerence aIter con-
ference on the floor as leaders and
delegates came in but they appar-
emily were fruitless and to all out
ward evidences the convention
stood exactly where it did at the
close Of the second ballot last night.
There was not man On the door
who could show any evidence to
support his prediction Of what was
going to happen today.
