The platform was adopted with a yell and a vote of thanks given the committee. Then the two congreaionaI conven tions got into a snarl by trying to hold separate meetings under the same chair man. Two or three times a motion to adjourn was lout on a deviaion of the houae Once the second district re solved to adjourn anyway but it gave up the idea when it found that there was a lot of general hiiincHS still to be trans acted.
