THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE- 29, 1920 3, PLATFORM BUILDERS CLASH OVER ISSUES Prohibition, League and Irish Question Up. LONG JOB IS EXPECTED finished Product Probably Will Xot Be Ready for Conven tion for Three Days. SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S. The fight over prohibition, the league of nations, the Irish question and other subjects which have troubled demo cratic leaders in pre-convention dis cussions was centered tonight in the conference rooms of the committee on resolutions. As the committee ses sions began, some of the most ex perienced in the ways of platform building predicted it might bo three days before finished product would bo ready for submission to the con vention and that even then there probably would be minority reports bringing the prohibition issue, at least, into a fight on the convention floor. All elements were represented on the committee, which had one mem ber from each state. There were ultra wets and ultra drys. league advocates and league opponents and representatives of nearly every other shade of opinion on many other pub lic questions. Bryan Fight for IManW. "W. J. Bryan was there to lead the fight for a bone-dry plank and James TL. Nugent of New Jersey, was the field marshal of the wets. In the treaty fight, the administration rep resentatives Included Senator Glass of Virginia, and Secretary Colby of the state department, while in oppo sition to the administration stand were Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, with several others who voted in the senate to take the republican reser vations. W. Bourke Cochran of New .York, was the leading advocate on the com mittee of an Irish independence plank. lesides these, the committee's riler, included ice-President Mar nielli and ex-national Chairman Vance 21Cormick. Many SuRsestiona Received. One complete platform, many par tial platforms, and enough loose p. links to last the party for many years to come were on file as sug gestions when the committee met. The platform submitted in its en tirety was the one adopted by the Virginia democrats. Indorsed by Pres ident Wilson and brought to San Francisco by Senator Glass. The other suggestions came from many sources within and without the party. There was so much material de manding use in some form that the platform fashioners soon abandoned hope of following the advice of Vice President Marshall and writing the platform on a postal card. It was re garded as likely that belore final ttecsions were reached on any issue the committee would give Interested Individuals and organizations an op Bortunity to present their cases in public hearings. TENNESSEE DELEGATION WILL, BE CALLED UPON. SIX CONVENTIONS LISTED VANCOUVER TO BE MECCA FOR CROWDS FROM WAS1IINGTON Navy Daniels, Secretary of Agricul ture Meredith and Postmaster-General Burleson and approximately 1000 fed eral office holders are here working to nominate McAdoo. Public !' for Seaalon. Another 1000 federal office holders are here trying to nominate Attorney General Palmer, and don't overlook the fact that while these government servants are here devoting themselves to Keeping a member of the Wilson family or administration in office, the public is paying their salaries and some of their traveling expenses. Sec retary Daniels is understood to be hanging his expense account on an inspection of the navy-yard at Mare Island. Well, it would be a shame if Mare Island were not inspected right now. A few days ago some of the disap pointed supporters of Hiram Johnson were threatening to bolt the repub lican party. They came down and looked in on the preliminaries of this convention and got over it. Senator Johnson himself is understood to be getting ready to come out for Hard ing and Coolidge. He spent one day around the Palace hotel, where delegates and politicians congregate, and it is said that he has gone into a quiet retreat to do pen ance for some of the unkind things he said about certain men in this re publican party. YET IN FIGHT 'Wanton Delay" of Vermont and Connecticut Governors Cause of Some Criticism. SAN FRANCISCO, June 28. Woman suffrage advocates, at a luncheon given today to democratic women by the San Francisco branch of the civic center, were warned against over confidence by Mrs. Abbey Scott Baker of the national woman's parjy. Although elated over the action of Tennessee's governor in calling a special session of the legislature for August 9, Mrs. Baker warned her audience that the fight for ratifica tion of the woman suffrage amend ment could not be counted won until the final vote is taken. Women workers arranged to call next Thurs day upon the Tennessee delegation here and urge necessity for favorable action in Tennessee. Mrs. Baker also scored "wanton delay" of governors of Vermont and Connecticut in calling special sessions of their legislatures to consider the women's amendment. - REFUND ORDER APPEALED Power Company Objects to Paying $5600 to Centralia.

BOSSES RUN CONVENTION (Continued From First Page.) publican national committee, is a far seeing public man, who recognizes that times have changed. He ad vocated having the republican con vention do its work in the open and so it was run. Newspaper men were admitted to the conferences of the state delegations and to all of the important committee hearings. At this convention the old-fashioned caucus, designed to conceal from the folks back home what their dele gates are doing, is in full swing. The Idaho delegation this morning fur nished one of the examples of the archaic caucus which always worked in the dark. Idaho Caucus Exclusive. When the delegation waa called to order by Senator John F. Nugent there was a visible nervousness on the part of several delegates. Beecher S. Hitchcock of Sand Point. Idaho, prominently made a motion to ex clude "everybody but Idaho demo crats" from the room. Delegates ceen after the secret session said they could not reveal what went on inside, but the story is that one of the big bosses had a message to com municate to the delegations. Tho Washington delegation held the same kind of caucus Saturday after noon and everywhere somebody is whispering to somebody else. Secre try pf State Colby, Secretary of the School Teacher Weds.
