Lodge and Crane clash over league in Republican platform
A heated Republican convention battle turns on the league of nations. Senator Lodge backs a compromise plank against a strong league position, while Senator Crane presses for a clear pro league stance. The resulting platform avoids naming the league and the Versailles treaty, signaling a cautious campaign posture amid factional tension and business interests.
