The subcommittee was to submit - Its

this afternoon. ' Leaders hoped, they
said, that it - would be accepted by the

When . he learned of the action taken
' by the subcommittee. Senator Johnson,
r who had threatened to take .the ques
tion to the convention if defeated. by
i the resolutions committee, said:
I It has been an all-night fight con
i cerhing this platform and my under
i standing is there will be no declaration
f in this platform in favor of the League
I of Nations, but that the platform wilt
declara for foreign policies in -harmony
with those of Washington" and
Monroe, and there is no Intimation, even
in the platform, of a ratification of the
league. This is a victory ,Xor American-
ism. It is- a signal and overwhelming
(defeat for internationalism and for in
! ternatlonal bankers, s Of course, I re-
allse there are : certain international

to write the platform of the Republican
' party, but determined also to nominate

defeat on " the . floor of the " converi-
tion before the balloting starts.' The
California senator telephoned his ap
proval of the plank on ; the treaty
just before the; convention assem
bled for its Thursday session.
The text of the paragraph in the plat
form on the treaty was not made public,
but it contains these two principles r

inow, xne important thing Is -that - a
change has been made from an affirma
tive statement favoring ratification of
the treaty to Ta negative statement which
leaves .the same' inference. The i new
plank originated ( out of the platform.
drafted for the Virginia Republican con
vention by. Representative S. Lemp. To
day's agreement on the platform makes
it possible for the candidate of this con
vention to make any statement about
ratification of the peace treaty that he
pleases.- Fears that Senator Johnson, by
carrying the fight to the floor, might
split the Republican party, caused .'the
old line leaders to accept-a compromise.
But they : have not . prevented Hiram
from taking the floor, r He-is going to
make a speech to this convention on
some plank, probably: that, relating' to
taxation or legislation effecting busi
ness. He wants to prove he is not dan
gerous. . i . . , .4- --; ;

think there will be ample opportunity to
come out strongly for . ratification of
the peace treaty when, a candidate has
been chosen and Johnson Is out of the
way. Anyway, speeches and balloting

has- weathered a big storm.

(Joaraal St&ff Correspondent.
Chicago, June 10.- Johnson man
agers, after conferring over the sit
uation ; in the Oregon delegation.
have decided ; to carry before the
convention the question of Wallace
McCamant's right to vote for any-'
body but' Hiram Johnson.
It is understood that either Johnson
himself 'or Senator . Borah will take the
floor on McCamant . and denounce all
delegates who fail to follow the pref
erence vote of their states. A foretaste
of the bitterness felt by Johnson and his
leaders appeared last night in a state-
men by. Johnson in which he said :
COS DEMI S BBOKE2T FAITH.
"If any man breaks his faith, betrays
his people and , betrays me, whether he
does it for coin or whether -he does it
for some other reason, I will take his
case to the people.- Make "that plain.".
In- the face of the gathering storm
clouds, other members of the ' Oregon
delegation are, reported to be trying to
persuade McCamant to stay away from
the -convention -when -the voting begins
or -to remain mute, permitting the vete
to be cast by the first alternate, San-

to such a course is considered doubtful.

would be sustained. - ...

.The plan of the Johnson forces con
cerning McCamant is said to be to de
mand a poll of the delegation if he votes
for Wood. This demand is to be- made by
Delegate Hamilton Johnstone of Portland.
After this poll ' officially discloses who
voted for- Wood, a motion will be .made
that the, convention decline to receive
his vote and the battle will be on. This
situation can be averted only. If Mc

the "compromise" treaty plank, as re

packed, every inch of standing and sit
ting space on the floor being occupied.
There was the usual delay in rtartin?
and ths hour of 4 p. m. passed without
any . sign of Chairman Lodge.
The faithful band was in its place, tut
the air in its perch up under the r'.r.i.-rs
must have been rather thick. It failed
to manifest its customary enthusiasm.
As the crowd thickened and the heat
steadily mounted, some of the delegates
removed their collars and prepared to
make the best of It.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, for whom the
convention so insistently called yester
day, sat in the center of the platform
and was expected to make a speech if
the report of the resolutions committee
delayed.
