Brxan was greeted with applause when he appeared on the platform. Handclap ping lasted half a minute. During the Invocation. Bryan stood with his head bowed devotiltly, and eyes tightly clos ed. Richard P. Hobson and several other celebrated, "drys'1 were on the platform near Bryan. As the commoner stood surveying the crowd there waa a grim look on his face, his Hps were tightly closed. and he nervously tapped the palm of one hand with his eyeglasses.

At 10:45 the long awaited for report of the platform committee waa formally brought before the convention. It waa the opening gun of the days fight and William J. Bryan was waiting to offer minority reports on five planks. Framed after days and nights of de bate In the resolutions committee the draft was laid before the democratic national convention today. The committee platform was silent on prohibition enforcement, it "was a long document, efforts to produce a brief and emphatic statement of its principles having been balked. A wide range of subjects were treat ed, including agriculture, labor and soldier relief and a score or more of domestic questions. The preamble was confined to a tribute to the leadership of President Wilson. Condemns Senate Foremost, among the planks came the endorsement of the League of Na tions, and condemnation of the repub lican senate for haying ; Interposed, "partisan envy and personal hatred" In the way of world peace. The pres. ldenf's stand against "reservations designed to cut to pieces the vital pro- j visions of the -Versailles treat'." was applauded, but coupled with this de claration went a statement, written in after a prolonged committee struggle that the democratic party did not op pose the "reservations making clearer or more specific obligations of the United States to the league associates." Accompanying this was the assertion that the president had "repeatedly" declared- and that the convention now reaffirmed that the American obliga tions as a league member "must be ful filled in strict conformity with the constitution of the United States, em bodied in which is the fundamental requirement of a declaratory action by the congress before this nation may participate in any war." . r r & ' n USES OF FORD LEGION; ONE ELEVATES DIRT FROM NEW BASEMENT The uses of a Ford are many, but it remained for employes in the Simpson Auto Company shop to rig up an Ingenlus and original nevice wnicn makes a Ford en gine the motive power for elevat ing dirt excavated from the base ment of the company's quarters on Water street.

The cable pulls the shovel up and the dirt is emptied into a wagon, greatly increasing the speed of the excavation process.

Sup port was pledged the states where the enforcement of that policy was of par ticular concern. Scores Vli.nncia! Dealings. The financial plank condemned a pernicious attempt of the republican party to create a discontent among the holders of bonds of the govern ment, and to "drag: our public finance and our banking and currency system back into the arena of party politics." Failure to enact tax revision meas ures "through sheer political cowar dice," also was charged against the republicans, congress having made no move, it was asserted, "toward the readjustment of tax laws which it de nounced before the last election and was afraid to revise before the next election." Claims of republican pub- Mo economy were also branded as false pretense." The attack on the re publicans reached its climax in a sepa rate plank devoted to "republican cor ruption." This section discussed "shocking disclosures of the lavish use ot money," by candidates for the repub lican presidential nomination and conviction of a republican senator from Michigan charged with having violated the campaign expenditures laws to draw the inference that there la Indicated the re-entry, under the republican auspices, of money as In influential factory elections.
