Bryan Loses on League And Wilson on Armenia In the Platform Planks
Special to The Washington Post from San Francisco July 1. The reports from the committee on resolutions at the convention show President Wilson’s influence on endorsing his national and international policies. The Irish league plank was defeated while sympathy toward Ireland was adopted. Bryan’s league of nations plank was voted down two to one. The anti sighted prohibition plank lingered without active league support. The Walsh amendment softened the Lodge route, and the Armnia mandate plank was defeated 40 to 10, with Glass’s Virginia plan adopted.
