Bryan Suffers Defeat
A momentary defeat was admin
istered the Bryan dry legislation In
the full platform committee when
a parliamentary battle for position
on the speakers list was decided In
favor OF tho vets by vote of ~ to
as. The general inclination. how
ever. was to discount the signifi-
canoe OF the vote. which was taken
TO decide which side should speak
first.
The clash came as soon as the
committee took up tho prohibition
issue. Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Cochran
wrangled for half an hour on the
point. Chairman Glass finally In
terrupted to say that 10 appeared
that no one "wanted 10 talk. 80 the
question would be passed over"
This IL not tlmo for joking"
shouted Mr.. Bryan.
''Thc chair IN not joking" re-
torted Senator Glass, pounding tho
table, "and resents the suggestion"
In tho skirmish both vets and
drys argued that their opponents
were trying TO reopen the prohibi-
ton Issue and therefore should
present their case first. When the
drys were forced to go ahead, Mr..
Bryan took charge OF the time al
lotted 10 that side but divided all of
II among other speakers represent
ing tho anti-saloon league, church
associations and other prohibition
organizations
For the VETS w. Bourkc Cochran
OF New York was the chief
spokesman Of u debate during
which MIR. Bryan was called upon
20 explain his connection with the
Anti-SnloOn league. He denied
that he had ever received compcn-
sation from the league except for
"four months of last year for Ger.
tain public speeches"
