I'VE discussed several platform
planks, principally the treaty and

not been drafted but our general
purpose is to oppose committing the
party to unreservcd ratification
of the present covenant"
If the substitute planks should
be rcpccted, Senator Walsh said.
the next move would be for preSen-
tation Of the issue TO the covenant
itself. Senator Reed declined to

CBy The Associated Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, Cali, June 26.
-"Wets" and 'drys" today continu-
ed their pre-convention battle, but
left the outcome still in doubt.
W. J. Bryan formally opened his
fight for prohibition platform plank
and after his election by the Neb-
raska delegation TO the resolutions
committee he made long and Wig
orous address at luncheon Of the
Commonwealth Club on prohibition
and other platform questions. He
declared the democratic party must

state delegations. Several claimed
large aecessions to wet or at least
damp declarations. Other leaders,
however, declared the platform would
be silent on prohibition and were
working toward that end
Mr.. Bryan asserts there will be no
compromise on the prohibition ques-
ton. He said that while an open
fight might be avoided. he would
force q record vote, both Of the states
and delegates. if the liquor question
were brought up in the convention.
Ii is the paramount issue before the
democrats. he said. declaring his spe-

The ''wets" were encouraged by re-
ports from southern delegations that
hopes of the prohibitionists for a
solid" south for a prohibition declar-
alton were unfounded They declar-
ed that the unit rule could not be in

and that many southerners were rea-
dy to vote against the prohibitionists.
Mr.. Bryan told his audience today

The Greek movements in Asia Min

There was no discussion Of the
Georgia contest prior to the taking

cd that they will take his case to the

time his seat will be held by James

Before the vote was taken Commit

Senator Glass. Virginia, made the
principal speech against Reed, and
was supported by Committeeman

RIVAL FORCES MOVE INTO
POSITION FOR THE OPENING
Definite Alignment of Strength for Candidates Missing

Establish Into Composite Reuiew

tion. There is n marked similarity
in many respects.
Seven hundred and fifty-six of the
1902 delegates are uninstructed
Their personal preferences cannot be
assembled in composite review. 1t
seems certain some balloting on the
convention floor will be necessary to
disclose the lines of strength and of
weakness. clear the ground of fav-
orite sons and complimentary votes,
and narrow the situation down to the
real contenders.
No democratic candidate comes
with any such showing of pledged
strength as was brought to Chicago
by Wood, Lowden or Johnson. But
as al Chicago, the situation at the
opening revolves about rivalry on
issues rather than for the moment on
candidates.
How much influence w. J. Bryan
will have on the making of the par
tvs platform and its choice Of can
didate will be shown soon after the
opening session Of the convention
Monday.
The first evidence of how much
force he will be. will come in the
makeup Of the resolutions commit
tee. which will draft the platform
and in the choice Of the permanent
organization Of the convention.
These issues will bring about di
rect contest between the administra
ton and Mr.. Bryan's forces. If Mr.
Bryan finds on the resolutions com
mittee a majority Of men sympathet
ic with his views on prohibition, the
League of Nations and other ques
tions, the chances of a fight at tin

tion from the fifth Missouri district

asserting that the action Of the COM

than an effort TO exclude from the

The senator said he will carry the

he said. and felt | could do nothing
less than respond TO the request Of

A third term for any president is
