WHITEHOUSE IS
SILENT ON NEWS
Feeling of Elation Is Appar-
ent Among Officials.

WASHINGTON. July Maintaining
silence on all questions affecting the
chances OF various democratic presiden-
tlal aspirants. the whitehouse today was
keenIy interested in all convention facts
and rumors.
Following adoption of the democratic
platform last night, a feeling of elatiOn
was very apparent among whitehouse Of
ficlals. although they refused comment
on the convention action.
President Wilson went TO bed when it
became apparent the platform framed
by administration supporters was going
through unchanged. 1t was generally
taken for granted that the platform is
acceptable to him IN every way.
Throughout the day United Press dis
patches from the special wire in the
whitehouse were carried TO Wilson, but
no direct word came from him as to his
thoughts on the convention doingS

COLBY, GLASS
HURL SARCASM
AFTER SPEECH
Delegates Give COmmoner
Cheers, but Withhold
Their Votes.
PRESIDENT IN CONTROL
HUGH BAILLIE.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-The ad-
ministration today remained in con-
troll of the democratic convention
William Jennings Bryan, who
doomed as the biggest figure in the
situation as he conducted his whirl-
wind fight to amend the platform,
has been beaten down by the admin
Istration forces.
He got the cheers, but not the
votes, in his dramatic appearance be-
fore the convention, where he at
tempted to sidetrack the league Of
nations issue and put a dry plank in
the platform.
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
There were a few crumbs Of comfort
in the fact that the convention had
turned down the wet plank offered by
Bourke Cochran OF New York. Bryans
friends professed to believe his oratory
had something 10 do with that.
Bryans speech in support OF his dry
plank and his plank favoring a cOnsti-
tutiOnal amendment to make possible
senate ratification of treaties by simple
majority instead Of two-thirds-which
would have killed the straight-out rati-
fcation issue Wilson wants-was mas
terpiece Of eloquence.
At the end, hundreds Of delegates
stormed the platform to cheer him and
many state standards were massed be-
fore the rostrum in his honor. Tears
glistened on his cheeks as ne proudly
held aloft the Nebraska standard. thrust
into his hands by an enthusiastic dele
gate, while a tumult Of noise filed the
auditorium.
A few minutes later Bsimbridge Colby,
administration spokesman, was con-
vuising the sane crowd with quiet sar-
casm directed at the Nebraskan.
. He brushed aside the dry platform as
NO cure and treated Bryan's league OF
nations plan just as brusquely as an
amateurish. unworkable dream - not
worth while bothering the delegates
about.
Then senator Carter Glass, who is
very close TO the president, made a
speech OF biting sarcasm, discarding the
Commoners proposals with contempt.
Bryan. crimson looking, very stern. sat
on the platform within A few feet Of
Glass His lips frightened as he was ridi-
culed.
Bryan's dry proposal was showed
under, 929ia to bob. Richmond r
Hobson's dry proposal was buried be-
meath an avalanche Of noes" and the
same chorus OF noes" sounded the
doom OF Bryan's league plank, his prof.
teering amendment, his plaaks declaring
against compulsory military training
and in favor Of q government published
newspaper.
The amendment to the Irish plank, the
wet proposal and a soldier bonus dec
laration, all went the same way.
Fhe platform itself went over on an
irresistible tide OF ayes" and the dove
Of peace and harmony futtered over the
debris Of Bryan's hopes far beneath
which the peerless leader" himself lay
buried, at least in the estimation OF the
administration men.

PLATFORM is ONE OF
BEST EYER ADVANCED

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-yeteran
politicians today declared the platform
adopted yesterday by the democratic ma
tional convention one Of the best in the
party's history, from a vote getting
standpoint
Satisfaction with the platform was gen
eral among democracy's hosts, except for
those who were defeated in their efforts
TO amend # after the resolutions COM
mittee had it completed.
The overw Relming defeat by the con
vendon Of all proposed amendments and
Tie equally emphatic approval of the com
>mittee's report was clear evidence, party
leaders said, that the democrats are lined
up strongly behind the Wilson admins
tratiOn.
So pleased art party leaders that they
intend to take every opportunity of com
pairing the platform with the republican
platform. declaring IL viii inevitably be
to the advantage OF the democrats.
That President Wilson's influence was
paramount in the framing Of the platform
was disclosed today by Senator Glass
when he explained why he and other ad-
ministration leaders counseIed silence on
the liquor question. That was done,
Glass said, so that nothing should be
permitted 10 cloud the issue nearest VII
sons heart-the league OF nations
Now that the league issue is clear
and unmistakable, the election will con-
stitute the solemn referendum which
President Wilson, in his Jackson day
dinner, demanded, party leaders said.
They declared treaty pIanks adopted by
the republicans at Chicago and the dem
Oerats here put 1t squarely up to the
American people whom they will follow
Senator Lodge or Woodrow Wilson.
Much comment was caused by a change
made in the platform after Senator Glass
read it to the convention. The change
was made In the plank relating to dis
abled soldiers, which reads in part:
THE final patriotism exhibited by
American soldiers, sailors and marines
constitute sacred heritage Of pos
terity, the worth Of which can never DO
recompensed from the treasury and the
glory Of which must not be diminished
by any such expedients."
The change consisted In elimination OF
the words 'by any such expedients. -
Senator Glass explained that the words
had been left in by mistake in copying
the platform. Some delegates, however,
construed the change as a precautiOn to
prevent the party being TOO boldly com
mitted against a cash bonus for soldiers.
Defeated advocates Of an Irish plank
declaring for the recognition of the
Irish republic were openly swearing ven
geance today on both the republican and
democratic parties
Woman suhragists, the Leauge Of
Women Voters and other organizations
Of women We're frankly pleased with the
treatment accorded them.

SUFFRAGE ACTION
PLEASES WOMEN
Mrs. Bass Says Democrats
Went Beyond Their Hopes.
BY MRS. GEORGE BASS.
Chairman Women's Bureau, Democratic
National Committee.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-The adOp-
ton of practically every recommendation
made by the women and their incorpora-
ton in the democratic platform is the
greatest achievement Of the women citi-
zens of this country, and I fully ex-
pected that the women in the convention
would show their appreciation.
But the real outburst came before the
social welfare plank was read, and it had
to do with votes for women, votes for all
women, and votes before the November
election.
Some of the women hardly dared be-
lieve the convention would make more
than a perfunctory statement concerning
woman suffrage, but they have learned
now that the democratic party does not
believe in platitudes or halfway measures.
The suffrage plank not only Endorses
the passage Of the nineteenth amend
ment and its speedy ratification, but spe-
cifcally calls on North Carolina, Tonnes
see and Florida and other states that
have not already done so to ratify.
The women applauded, Of course, but
feminine lungs and hands combined
never made such a noise, never sent up
such shouts Of approval as when the
state banners began TO waver ana then
to get into line and crowd up and circle
around.
They were glad, too, although they
know little Of the long, Notwithstanding
struggle, IN which hope seemed always
to be indefinitely deferred.
Last winter at the suffrage victory
convention, something of the kind was
elaborately staged and carried OF with
laughter and music and noise-such
noise as can be made without the aid
Of bass and tenor voices. and the women
were very happy and proud, but to-
day the demon stration was spontane-
Gus and unexpected.
Women who have worked for suffra ge
all their lives looked at each other in
dazed surprise, and then at this won
derfpl spectacle Of a great national con
vention swept OF its feet, carried away
with enthusiasm over the enfranchise-
ment OF half a nation. for the conven-
ton believes the states It has called upon
will heed that call.
II is inconceivable that they should
refuse to do so. Just now, the women
who are attending this convention really
believe that IL Carter Glass would get
in touch with the governor Of Virginia
that his state would also keep step with
the new and splendid stride that has been
made by this convention.

Among these were f. H. Moore, leader
of the Ohio delegation, Gov. Cox's SON
in-law, and others regarded as wheel

The applause that followed this climax
continued for several minutes. 1t was

brought down the convention.
The climax came unexpectedly.
Bryan's time had been limited. He had
tweaty minutes In which to dispose Of
five subjects. He had been heckled
from the door by several persons and
had delivered two witty retoiners that
brought immense applause from the
floor when someone shouted, your time

Several other persons shouted to
Bryan. Go ahead; go ahead"
Now, my friends. my time Is up"
said Bryan. He stepped forward TO
rest his arms for moment on the heavy
ropes which were draped along the plat
form. Il want to warn you" he said,
