Platform Makers Begin Their Work For Democratic Platform
San Francisco June 29 Actual work on the Democratic platform began tonight by the subcommittee of nine after a day of public hearings and last minute suggestions. The main issues Irish question prohibition and League of Nations loom large with potential fights in committee and on the floor. W J Bryan and Senator Walsh declined subcommittee proposals preferring to press their planks later. The Virginia platform written by Senator Glass and approved by President Wilson opened the deliberations as testimony flowed and tempers rose. The full Platform Committee adjourned to 10 tomorrow with a likely night session to report and expedite the platform before Thursday’s convention.
