Convention gridlock at Republican National Convention in Chicago
June 10 reports say a 15 minute morning session ended with delays as the League of Nations debate stalled business. Senator McCormick helped broker peace treaty hearing progress, with a 4 p.m. recess and plans for a platform decision. Delegates debated, a standing vote was proposed, and the crowd dispersed to the streets as the session closed. The convention resumes at 4 p.m. with hopes for a longer night session and full day of oratory tomorrow.
