Party's Bill of Particulars
Has Attention With Virginia
Platf0rm---AlsO Bryan's Dry
and Treaty Approval Planks

San Francisco, June 2S-The fight
over prohibition, the League of Nations,
the Irish question, and other subjects
which have troubled Democratic leaders
in pre- convention discussions, was CEN
tered Monday night in the conference
room Of the committee on resolutions.
As the committee sessions began some
of the most experienced in the ways OF
platform building predicted that it might
be three days before the finished product
would be ready for submission to the
convention and that even then there
probably would be a minority report
bringing the prohibition issue, at least,
into fight on the convention floor.
All elements were represented on the
committee, which had one member from
each state. There were ultra vets and
ultra drys, league advocates and league
opponents and representatives of near
ly every other shade of opinion on many
other public questions.
Leaders of Issues.
W. J. Bryan was there to lead the
fight for bone dry plank and James X.
Nugeut was the field marshal of the
vets. In the treaty fight the admins
tration representatives included Senator
Glass of Virginia and Secretary Colby of
the state department. while in opposition
to the administration stand was Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts with several
others who voted in the senate to take
the Republican reservations.
w. Bourke Cochran, of New York,
was the leading advocate on the com
mittee of an Irish independence plank.
Besides these. the committees roster
included Vice President Marshall and
former National Chairman Vance Nc
Cormick.
Virginia Platform Submitted.
One complete platform, many partial
platforms, and enough loose planks to
last the party for many years to come,
were on file as suggestions when the
committee met. The platform submitted
in it's entirety was the one adopted by
the Virginia Democrats, endorsed by
President Wilson and brought to San
Francisco by Senator Glass The other
suggestions came from many sources
within and without the party.
There was so much material demand
ing use in some form that the platform
fa shioners soon abandoned hope of fol-
lowing the advice Of Vice President
Marshall and writing the platform on
postal card. 1t was regarded as likely
that before final decisions were reached
on any issue, the committee would give

San Francisco. June 2S-There is
more McAdoo talk in the air, but there
is apparently no change in the real stu
alton among the various candidates.
Monday night shows the first signs of
a movement among the leaders and
managers to round up sentiment among
the uninstructed delegations and COM
pute the possibilities of nominating
somebody.
Principally, the time was given over
to meetings of the four big committees
in the great building which also houses
the convention auditorium. The leaders
and candidate managers are all under
one roof and although they are prin-
cipally engaged in committee business,
they are not losing the opportunity to
confer and possibly get together on the
makings of slate of their own or pos
sbIy decide to accept one which the
drift among the delegations may be
forcing on them.
McAdoo boomers hoped all day that
their candidate would make some state
ment amplifying the declaration of Ma
tional Committeeman Love of Texas,
that the nomination would not be re-
jected Some were disappointed and
others thought Mr.. McAdoo in view
of repeated previous declarations of
declination was pursuing a wise course
in remaining silent.
Palmer and Cox
Palmer people continued their eff
forts to make strong showing on the
opening ballots and the Cox people were
doing the same. About the only point
the three forces would agree upon was
that there would be no nomination on
the first ballot and most of them SEEM
ed to agree that there would be no
nomination in less than three to five
ballots.
The McAdoo people today agreed upon
Sam E. Amidon Of Wichita, kas.. as
their floor leader and at the same time
began picking out representative on
each of the state delegations. His Sc
lection was made at conferences of Nc
Adoo supporters who described them
selves as bitter er ders." Cone Johnson
of Texas, former solicitor Of the state
department.; Representative Haley Of
South Carolina and Mrs. Peter Oleson
Of Minnesota were among the assistants
selected for Amidon.
Most of the Meade boomers are saying
they DO not expect any support from
the Tammany delegation of New York
Mess it becomes apparent that the for
n,er secretary will be nominated. Talk
of Secretary Meredith for second place
as McAdoos running mate. continued te
be heard in the convention gossip.
The talk of the candidates on the whole
tonight is almost where it was last week
without any appearance of strength
of the triangle.

New York. June 29.-The cotton market showed renewed weakness to- day. The more urgent demand from shorts had evidently been supplied on the rally of yesterday and when the buying tapered off this morning, sell ing became active owing to continued favorable weather in the belt and un- favorable trade advices.

 Already some twent-five processes for utilizing the oil-bearing ingredients whicl are found in shale have been experi- mentally used. Science has demonstrated that petroleum or what may be made into petroleum exists iH the shaleain me form of carbon and hydrogen. Science has also discovered what the formula or nature is whereby this carbon and hy- drogen in these proportonate parts were so united ages ago as to produce oil.
 AN ALARMING SITUATION
 Dean Victor c. Alderson of the Colo rada School of Mines felt justified re- gently in calling attention to the danger that our crude oil may be exhausted m the next twenty years. Nevertheless he is persuaded that science and capital working in cooperation will perfect methods by which the hydrogen and car bon that are in shale rock can be united, the union resulting in the equivalent of petroleum.
 The momentary demonstration which was made yesterday in the New York laboratory of one of our men of science | 1urn1SneS COnNlTCluS pfol liidl tii" is needed in order to bring about union of the carbon and hydrogen in the shale rock is heat. In fact already in Scotland where there is considerable shale oil is obtained from the shale by a sort of baking process and it is made of some use commercially.
 Sometimes it has been said that the cost of transportation of shale rock to the refineries. also the cost of the railroad construction which would be necessary. might make the petroleum obtained from shale so expensive as to be prohiibtive. So the possibil- itiy is in the minds of men of science that any formula whereby the petro- leum ingredients can be secured from shale may be so expensive to operate as also to make the cost prohibitiye But the best opinion now seems to be that if the emergency arises transpor tation vii be easily secured for the shale rock of Colorado and further more that a formula will soon be. if it has not already been, perfected which will enable the manufacturers to secure this petroleum at even less cost than is now entailed in operating the drills and in drilling wells in the oil fields of the United States.
