Wet vs.. Dry Battle Expected
to Rage in The San Fran
cisco Convention

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. June @i.-
With the opening Of the Democratic
national convention week away. q
stir Of activity was noticeable about
hotel headquarters today III ADDITION
to the preliminary work AZ the audi
torium where the delegates will gather.
1t took the form Of informal discus
sion between national committee mem
hers and state leaders already on the
ground. devoted chiefly to anticipated
struggles with platform building
There was virtually no talk as to presi-
Dental candidates.
A plain intimation ran through this
undercurrcnt Of platform talk that
proposals to modify the federal prohi,
bition enforcement act were expected
by some Of the Democratic warehouses;
to share honors with. II not to eclipSr,
the League Of Nations issue. NOBODY
had any direct statement to make. nor
would anybody talk for publication
Some of the men who will have hand
in shaping the party'H declaration OF
principles. however, talked much pri-
vately of a >upular demand that thN
doctrine Of states rights should appI!
to beer restrictions.
Look for Fierce Battle.
Taken in connection with I'll" an
nounced purpose Of W. j. Bryan 10 re-
sist any weakening Of prohibition en-
forccment measures, the talk brought
10 the surface the feeling Of promi J.
ncnt Democrats already here. that
ucrce battle on the point In tho rcSo-
lutions committee was not 10 be
avoided They believed, also. that Tl-
timately the question would be fought
out ON the convention floor.
Discussion of the league plank ap-
parently awaited tn" arrival or S.na-
tor Glass OF FirEInia, slated 10 neaa ca q

direct from conference with PrcSi-
dent Wilson. The contest over the
league issue already has been SHARPLY
defined in the conflicting views OF the
President and MIR. Bryan, and talk
about the hotel Hobbies today did not
disclose great immediate interest III
the question as involved.
The name Of Senator Walsh Of Mon
tana Was injected into the discussion
today of the probable permanent CHAR
man OF tho convention. The Montana
senator was mentioned by number of
leaders in tentative way. although
others said that they believed Secre-
tary Colby Of the State Department
would be the man urged by adequate
forces, despite his statement that ne
was not a candidat" for the post.
