BURIFSON ASKS AMENDMENT
oF vOISTEAD LAW

Tuesday, Potriaster General
Burleson's statement at San Antonio
regarding Democratic platform issues
drew particular attention among
party leaders here for the national
convention next week because of its
frank declaration for modification OF
the yolstead prohibition enforcement
act says a San Francisco dispatch.
Mr.. Burleson's demand for repeal
Of drastic and absurd" provisions
of the act expressed in more direct
fashion views which some of the
party leaders now here previously
had voiced privately. Coming from
a member of President Wilson's cab
met. the statement was regarded as
"A possible intimation OF the admin
ist%ration's attitude on the prohibition
issue before the convention.
Senator Glass of Virginia, Is under
stood to have been ~intrusted with a
formal expression of President Will
sons views as to the platform. On
other occasions. however. the post
master general has been the direct
spokesman Of the president on i'm
portant issues and Democrats here
were inclined to take his expression
as to the prohibition plank as ore
Than n statement of his own Vows.
The preliminary convention dis
cussion IN progress while wholly in
formal in character has shown a
striking unanimity of opinion on two
points thus far. The first of these
is that the platform struggle Will be
the real fight of the convention; the
second IL that the prohibition plank
will be the chief issue in that fight,

former secretary of state stood just
as strongly for acceptance of the
Republican senate reservations as q
basis for ratification and in order TO
keep the league covenant ont of the
campaign.

dents views on prohibition. delegates
said, It now was evident that Bryan
and the administration forces were
to clash also over that plank in the
party platform. Mr.. organs views
