July 2-The Democratic platform as framed In tbe resolutions committee, declaring for the peace treaty, expressing sym pathy for Ireland and saying nothing ft-all about prohibition, came un scathed through a furious floor fight today and was adopted wltLout amendment In a great avalanche of applause. - ?

Rryan Jed the fight for am endment, but bis bone-dry plank was burled after a dramatic day of de bate by a majority so overwhelming that he did not even ask for roll calls on the four other minority pro posals be had prepared.' t A cider," wine and beer plank. championed in an emotional speech by W. Dourke Cochran of New York also was thrown out by tbe conven tion along with a plank fof recog nition of the Irish, republic backed by several- organisations of Irish sympathizers. . . - In the' battle for the platform as framed the administration forces were led by Secretary Colby and Sen ator Glass of Virginia, during a de bate In which both sides stirred del egates and spectators to repeated bursts of emotional enthusiasm. Mr, Bryan got a howling demonstration of 20 minutes after he concluded his speech for tbe bone-dry plank, but when tbe balloting began it became apparent that much of the enthusl asm was a personal tribu(e to his past service to the party, and not an expression of sympathy with his present views.- The platform fol lows: .- League Is Endorsed. Foremost among the planks came endorsement of the league of nations and condemnation of the Republican senate for having interposed "parti isan envy and personal hatred" in tbe (way of world peace. The president's I stand against "reservations designed to cut to pieces the vital provisions of the Versailles treaty" was ap plauded, but coupled with this dec laration with tbe statement, written In after a prolonged committee strug gle that the Democratic party did not oppose ''reservations making clearer or more specific the obligations of the United States to the league asso ciates." Accompanying this was an asser tion that the president bad "repeat edly" declared and the 'convention now reaffirmed that American obli gations aa a league member "must be fulfilled In strict conformity with the constitution of tbe United States, embodied In which is the fundamen tal requirement of declaratory action by tbe congress before this 'nation may become a participant In any war." . r ; Irish Plank Brief. The Irish plank, center of hours of committee dispute, was brief. The specific reference followed a general assertion reaffirming tbe principle of national self determination as a war aim which "victory established." It merely renewed "within the. limita tions, of International comity and Usage" previous . expressions of the Democratic party of sympathy with Irish . aspirations for self govern ment, t The Armenian plank also expresses sympathy, but wss silent on tbe ques tion of acceptance by tbe United Btates of a mandate for wbict the president asked authority of con cress. Consistent with the constitu tion and American principles, the committee plank said, the govern ment should lend "every possible and proper" aid to the Armenians effort to set up a government of their own. Asiatics Kxrluded. ' jAmong other .international sub jects touched .upon was non-admission of Asiatic Immigrants, declared to be a national policy "a true. ex pression of tbe Judgment of our peo ple." Support was pledged to states where enforcement of that policy was of particular concern. , The Mexican plank asserted that the administration remembering In 1 all circumstances that Mexico was an Tbe BtitMman receives the leased wire' report of the Associated Pre, tbe greatest and sroit rellabla pretty Association In tbe world.

Or der was "gradually reappearing" there as a result. It added, and "at no time In many years have Ameri can Uvea and Interests been ao safe as they are now." The . new Mexican . government should be recognized when It bad proved Its ability to maintain order. signified Its willingness to meet Inter- . national obligations . and bad given foreigners in Mexico "rlghraa well as duties" the plank . continued. It served notice, however, that until, that time "Mexico must realise tbe propriety of a policy that asserts tbe right of tbe United States to demand full protection for Its citizens." . - Republicans Indicted. ' " .The platform sharply indicted the Repablican congress and the Repub lican party on many counts. Including warning of "well defined Indica tions" of an Impending assault upon vital principles" of the federal re serve system in the event of a Re publican victory in November. Tbe financial plank condemned the per nicious attempt of the republican party to create discontent among tbe holders of the bonds of the govern ment" and to "drag our public fi nance and our banking and currency system back into the arena of party politics." f Failure to enact tax revision meas ures, "through sheer political coward ice" also was charged against the Republicans, congress having made no move. It was asserted, "toward readjustment of tax laws which it de nounced before tbe last election and was afraid to revise, before tbe next erection." Claims of Republic public economy were branded as "false pretense;" but the attack on tbe Re publicans reached Its climax In a sep arate plank devoted 'to "Republican corruption." - Tb platform as submitted follows in part: ; J Th IUllroaJs. IThe railroada were subjected to federal control as a war measure without other idea than tbe swift transport of troops, munitions asl supplies. When human life and na tional hopes were at stake, profits could not be considered and were not Federal operation,' however, was marked by an Intelligence and effi ciency that minimized loss and re sulted In many and marked, reforms.

Economies ' enabled operation without tbe rate ralaea that private control' would have found necessary, and labor was treated with an exact justice that secured the en thusiastic co-operation that victory demanded.
