Republican Convention Nears Unity with League Pledge
At Chicago the Republican National Convention adopted a platform aimed at preventing a split over the League of Nations. It pledges support for an international agreement compatible with American ideals while preserving US sovereignty. General Wood is favored for the nomination though a dark horse remains possible. Other plank themes include public utility safeguards, denial of strikes against the government, railroad private ownership, and alien registration.
