"1 am oppossd to the word prohibi tion. I abhor it It is the word you will find chalked up In all the peniten tiaries. If It is necessary te have pro hibition and to force the people to do what they do not want to do, then I say they are not tit tor self govern ment aad are ready tor submission t a monarchy.". All. Amendments Fall. Seoretary Colby and Senator Glass defended the platform as framed by the resolutions committee, ' In quick and -successive votes .the convention voted down by heavy ma jorities all attempts to amend the re port of the platform committee aad threw out all substitute proposals, in cluding the bone dry plank by William J. Bryan and the wet plank offered by W. Bourke Cookran. The administration's league of na tion's plank as reported by the com mittee was sustained against all at tacks. The administration supporters ware In control by heavy majorities all along the line.
