Western States Plot Large Political Pact At Convention
San Francisco June 17. Senator James D. Phelan announced two western labor and oil planks for the Democratic platform. One seeks exclusion of Asiatic laborers and limits on native-born Asiatics, the other grants embargo power to the president to protect U S oil lands. Delegates from Iowa and Washington discussed nominating Meredith and Owen. Western states plan a preconvention association to press westward issues like public land laws and Pacific coast resource development while denying any candidacy motive.
