SAN, FRANCISCO. June 25.-The
impression grew along presidential
row today that candidates for the
democratic nomination will find them
selves lined up in a wet" or dry
battle at the outset of baIloting.. The
prohibition question has become so
sharply drawn that factions are APP
parentIy determined to settle the issue
in selection Of a nominee, as wen as in
the adoption of a platform. Some vet=
eran politicians forecast the possible
program thus:
The vets would get behind Cover
nor Cox and the ..drys'f behind Palm
er. Eventually it is believed. one side
will be simply defeated. The as
sumption is that if Cox should fall un-
der these circumstances, Governor
Edwards, Vice President Marshall,
Governor Smith and Senator Hitch
cock would go with him. On the
same basis Palmer's defeat would be-
expected to practically eliminate sem
ator Owen. Bryan, Gerard. Meredith,
