A near stampede developed when J an attempt was made to forestall in-: troduction of the majority platform! report by the submission zo the con-' vention of a report that was reputed to be acceptable to Senator Robt. M. La Follette. The Senator's friends launched the attack with a declara-i lion 111211 Lilt; UUUVCIitlUll nao UVM-| ridden and clique-controlled and that| the Senator's own platform ideas had been buried in secret committee meeting. The storm broke with all the fury of a riot and LaFollette delegates' were quick to seize the psychological i moment to spring their Presidential' boom. A big photograph or the Senator, flag draped and a huge red banner inscribed with his name were swung before the convention and the demonstration was on. It lasted about three-quarters of an hour. Then a move was made to read the Senator's platform, but it was blocked by the decision of the chairman, who ruled that the majority report of the committee on resolutions was be-, fore the convention and must be dealt with first. The Laollette platform was never brought up again, hut the minority report, which was later defeated, was said by its sponsors to be acceptable to the Wisconsin solon.
