COMPROMISE REACHED
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TO THE BANNER)
COLISEUM, Chicago, June 10 A League of Nations
plank, drafted by Elihu Root, was accepted as a basis for a
compromise today by the irreconcilable of the resolution
sub-committee.
Omitting all indorsements of thecovenant, the Root
resolution provides for a new agreement with other na
tions which shall include a tribunal for internatipnal dis
putes. It was prepared by Senator Root before, his departure
for Europe. It had been modified, however, by the sub
committee. ,
After the agreement Senator Borah said the compro
mise Avould be submitted iu full to the -convention at, 4:00
o'clock this afternoon. ' ' ' '

The members of the sub-committee declined tp give

ceedings of the big convention. - tt
The development came as a sensation soon after the
sub-committee had begun what was likely to be a long and
desperat'et struggle.
BOLT WAS FEARED
(BY THE ASSOCIATED, PRESS TO THE BANNER)
CHICAGO, June 10 The third day of the Republic
an national convention opened with the party -machinery,
for the moment at lpast, in complete deadlock.',
,l There has emerged information from behind the
scenes that no agreement has been reached cither as to a
presidential', candidate or even a tentative draft of vital
planks in the platform on which the party will stand.
Over night the League of Nations issue has been
swept suddenly upward to apposition of the greatest im
portance, almost of-ineuace to party councils.
(. It -was the rock on which the special sub-committee qu
platform split after hours of fruitless labor towards a com
promise. As the -platform makers resumed work this morning
they stated the prospect for an agreement was "pretty
bad."
.The irreconcilables on the League of Nations contin
ued their threats to leave the party if the platform affirm
ed it in any way.
Uiiublo to' agree on uny dcclara-T
lion proposed to bo incorporated In
tho plattorm, the sub-committee ad
journod ong after midnight.
Meanwhllo, the convention Itself
must mark time. No real progress
could bo made with Its work and an
other early adjournment seemed like
ly today.
Wlym the, mass of more than 1,000
footsoro delegates arose today and
started on their rounds of campaign
camps and other headquarters, the
air about thorn was tense with ru
mors of Impending events.
, Many rumors of serious ruptures
between faction loaders were abroad.
There was talk of bolting and of
what delcgatiops would walk out in
Uiat case, but no one would say from
-yyhore this talk came.
' And underneath this dispute on Is
sues still lay tho unsolved riddle of
tho candidato Wood, Johnson, Low
don, or who?
Tho convention program also was
not known in advance. Under it had
been suggested that the nomination
of tho candidato might bo proceeded
with, leaving platform issues to un
fllnlshod buBlnosa, lator.
