DEMOCRATS WILL

Bryan Will Ask Convention
to Endorse National

VETS WANT STATE
POWERS RETURNED
Believe They Have the Right to Fix
Alcoholic Content of All Beverages
Then Approve Prohibition Amend


WASHINGTON, Feb 5.-Prohibition /
may be made live issue in the Demo
cratic national convention at San Fran
cisco in June. In the opinion of some
prominent Democrats, Bryan's efforts to
bring back his old support within the
party is designed to enable him to OBJ
tain an Endorsement of the prohibition
amendment in the platform Such an in
dorsement, it is said, would be construed
| by Mr.. Bryan as party approval of his
| fight for national prohibition and at the
same time would give him renewed
strength as party leader.
The chances are, however, that the eff
fort of Mr.. Bryan to have the national
convention give an out and out indorse-
ment to his construction of the prohibit
ton amendment will find opposition.
There is already evidence that proposals
will be advanced for approving it with
the Interpretation that each individual
state shall have the right to determine
the alcoholic contents of beverages sold
legally within the limits of that state.
This suggested qualification of the plat
form declaration, which Mr.. Bryan is
respected to oppose, will be backed by the
contention that it was the intention of
some, at least, of the trainers of the CON
stitutional amendment that each state
should have co-equal authority with the
federal government in enforcing the pro
visions OF the amendment.
: The word in the amendment defining
the Joint authority of the federal and
state governments is concurrent" II
is claimed, however, that this word was
used by its proponents in the sense OF
&c equal which was the term employed
in judicial decisions defining the joint ju-
risdiction of the federal government and
individual states where disputes arose as
to the rights of each in certain contin
gencies.
> The congressional resolution proposing
the amendment to the states was adopted
largely, it is claimed in some quarters
:, on account of war sentiment for the con
4 troll of the liquor traffic and it is ex
! lpected that the advocates of giving thu
. states the right to determine in their owl
way what constitutes all Intoxicating

tional convention that the party plat
form should take into account the cur

MANY CLOTH MILLS

Great Advance In Price of Their Stocks

IOudS.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Search for the
profiteer in the clothes that men and
Women wear leads clear back to the
manufacturer of the cloth, as the facts
are viewed by Z. A. O'Connell of Bos-
ton, first vice president of the Nation
al Garment Retailers Association. Mr..
O'Connell was a speaker at the third
annual convention of the association in
the Waldorf Astoria.
''The retailer has been blamed for
almost every sin on the calender he
said 1.-The fact is he has little or no
control over prices. Everybody in the
trade knows that the retailer has to go
to the manufacturer hat in hand and
beg for merchandise and that prices
are advancing so rapidly it is hard to
keep up with them
He gave figures showing how the
price of clothing materials had boun
ded in the last few years, one of them
from S3.S7 to $l4 yard, and said that
as rule an advance of 81 yard must
mean an advance of 81 in the price of
suit He said that many jobbing con-
Germs were really manufacturers sub
diaries The mill charged its profit
! and the johber another profit, and they
really were the same establishment.
/ Mr. O'Connell also read list of
mills (without mentioning names)
which declared quarterly stock div
idend Of 10 per cent on February ,
II wonder, = he remarked chow
many retailers are able to pay a div
idcnd of 40 per cent. yearly or even q

mills of profiteering but when | fine

body and l wonder who's getting it.
He said he was reliably informed that
more than 100000 pounds of raw silk
worth S. pound in 1913, is being hello
in this city for a price Of $2l a pound
He asked :-What chance have we re
tailers under such conditions?'
