forces and MT. Bryans forces. If committee a majority of men sympa- thetic with his views on prohibition, the league of nations and other ques- lions. the chances of a fight at the outset will be minimized If the administration men control and in sist on a declaration in favor of the league as brought from Paris by President Wilson, Mir. Bryan may op- pose bringing the issue into the plat form ut all. Of course, if the "wets" attemtp to put in a plank which runs counter to MT. Bryan's declared views on prohibition, MT. Bryan will carry the fight 10 the floor of the con- vention. In such an event MT Bryan will not be unanswered and there are prospects of fireworks which might even eclipse the displaly which ac- companied Mir. Bryan's fight at Bal timore which culminated in the nom mation of Woodrow Wilson.
 Mondays session will be mere Bi li4 .MllCIl AHdIIitldH AuIsl- 1nings will deliver his keynote speech. the caucus designation for various committees, including resolutions ana credentials, will be ratified and the convention will then adjourn so that the committee may work.
 If a fight within the committee de lays the finish of their work beyond Tuesday noon, the session that day may be another routine affair It is undecided whether the nomination speeches fer the nine Or ten men who will be presented to the convention will be delivered before the platform is brought in.' At the Baltimore con vention of 1912, the nominations were made before the platform was adopt ed, but the usual custom is just the reverse
 Nobody professes to know what candidate MT. Bryan favors. No one professes to know with any greater degree of certainty what candidate President Wilson and the administra- ticn forces may favor
 But at every turn of the road. as a seeker after information searches through the delegation in an attempt to assess their preferences and lean ings, the elusive McAdoo movement bobs up.
 The play of politics is expected to show many shifting alignments as tLe convention proceeds in its discus sions of party issues. There are many vets" who, opposing MT Bryan on the prohibition question, are to he found within. battling the administration desires on the League of Nations. Per contra, there are dry who will leave the Bryan camp as soon as that issue is closed and join with the admin istration in what is seeks to do In the making of party platform.
 The Palmer people are working hard to get for the attorney general the heaviest possible showing on the first hallot They have an eye 70 the tradition of the unbroken until 1912-that the man who gets majority gets the necessary two thirds as the logical consequence.

 There is the same talk of deadlock and compromise talk among the gathering delegates and McAdoo gen erally is brought out in the end. His supporters. seeking a majority for neither Palmer or Cox, feel that in such an emergency the former sec retary would be drafted" and could not decline to make the race The 24 hours preceding the assembling Of the convention, however, will pro duce something more definite. Del egates will be caucusing and making their first and second choices. and :here will be indications of which way sentiment is turning.
 At the moment, however. attention is centering largely on Mir. Bryan, and the delegates are wondering now much of an old time rumpus he may kick up. MT. Iryan himself is not oblivious of this speculation and Is saying nothing.
