Convention Adopts
Platform After An
Eight Hour Debate
SAN FRANCISCO. July 2 William Jennings Bryan lost his fight
today to have a bone dry plank included in the Democratic platform
the convention snowing him under a roll call which followed a dra
matic debate.
The official result was a hundred and fifty-five and a half ayes,
nine hundred and twenty-nine and a half noes This finished Bry
an's bone dry plan1, and the convention turned tc the next amend
ment to the platform, which was the plank offered by Kepresentatr
Hobson of Alabama.
Declining to include in its platform any reference to the prohibi
tion issue, the Democratic convention rejected both the bone dry
plank fathered by Wiiiiam Jennings Bryan and the cider, wine and
berr plank presented by the New York delegation.

planks pending and offered for inclu
sion in ihe platform. Tho vote on the
prohibition amendments was first.

AUDITORIUM, San Frannon July!
2. William Jennings Hryan. with one
of his old-time speeches in support of
a bone dry plank for the Domocraticl
platform turned the convention al-j
mo4t upelde down late today and
started one of the groateat and nolsest
demonstrations the assembly hud .een
When Bryan had concluded his re-'
ply to the advocates of a wet plank
the demonstration cut loy.re on th!
floor, and. wholly ur.alded by the hand
or the organ or any of the other In
strumentalities which had been used
effectively to keep other demonstra
tions golns. It proceeded spontaneous
ly ana resisted all efforts to get the
convention back to order.
Bryan. standing, smiling in the
limelight at tne edge of the speakers')
platfoim. and with tears of emotion
coursing down Ml .heek., reviewed a
procession of prohibition enthusiasts,
who tore up state standards and start
ed a moving column of delegates
about the hall There was more than
one fight over whether a state stand-1
ard should go into the demonstration.
A nart lcularl v aucrtai ul.ir battle
raged around po.-wcysion of the Cali
fornia sBandard, where, when Mrs.)
Georgia C Ormaby of Oakland at
tempted to carry the standard into'
the demonstration, a number of rm-n
attempted to to prevent it. Among'
them was an assistant sergeant-at-'
arms. Francis J. Meney pounced on
the man and threw him Into the
crowd. All that remained of thel
standard when the wreckage was.
learcd away waa a tattered part of I
the pasteboard top which had once
borne the lettetsi ot the state's name !
Alabama a standard suffered a slmllari
fate and the bits were borne triumph
antly about the hall by the prohibition i
forces. I
During the demonstration, someone
bore the standard of Bryan's home
state to the platform, and, reaching'
out. Bryan lifted it high above the
rest, while the crowd roared.
Finally, after the crowd had been'
quieted, Chairman Robinson recog
nized Senator Glass.

proposal He was allotted an hour
unoor th convention's agreement, but
said he would yield a largo part ol
that time to others supporting him.
Beginning his argument In support
of the eighteenth amendment. Mi
Bryan soon got the convention to
cheering. Every Democratic state,
said, had ratified the amendment, and
every one recognized that tho 'liquor
.rafru Is dead, never to be resurrect
ed." The only question it whether we
shall recognize it as dead," ho con
tinued, or allow it to lie out on tho
ground uncovered. Decency requires
that a corpse be put out of sight.''
The liquor interests were not trying
to reopen the question, but now had
come down to advocating wine and
beer for home consumption only. He
argued that to remain silent on the
suDjeci would leave open the possibili
ty of change In the law to Increase the
alcoholic content.
"I want to leave no opening for mis
understanding or quibble," he aald.
So I have put into my plank the pro
vision that there shall be no relaxa
tion of the law What we hat is alco
hol, and wo hate It whether we find it
in whisky. In wine or In beer. They
tell you that wine Is a harmless drink,
but you will find thmt through the
agea if has been wine that cursed
mankind.
If you can't get enough alcohol to
make ou drunk, why do you want
alcohol at all 1 .Some tell you that If
you pass my plank some- people will
leave the party. That's true. But
while you may lose some you'll bring
In a number Inf.nitely greater, and
when they come they'll come out of
iove for the principles for which we
have declared."
