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. -

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
