Bitter Battle Predicted on Floor on Nominations and
 Party Policy
l4ssoeiofcd Press Lease5 HTr,J


 SAN FRANCISCO, June 26. As the rival forces at the Demo cratic national convention move into position for the opening to- day there is apparent no more definite alignment of strength for various candidates that there has been since the delegates be- ban to assemble. William Jen- nings Bryan opitomized the sit uation today in language with which most observers seemed to agree.
 "There will be lot Of tickets put up and down before this cor Vention nominates one" he said.
 The closing hours of the pre- convention period ares mucr .he same as characterized the last minute proceedings of the Re- publican convention at Chicago. There is a marked similarity In many respects.
 otNtU tliu illA -SiA VI NhN 1892 delegates are uuinstructed. Their personal preferences cannot be as- sembled in composite review. There are ten candidates, avowed, unwilling or receptive It seems certain that some balloting on the convention floor will be necessary to disclose the lines of strength and weakness, clear the ground of favorite sons and com plimentary votes and narrow the sit uation down to the real contenders out in the open.
 No Democratic candidate comes 10 San Francisco with any such show ing of pledged strength as was brought to Chicago by Wood. Low den or Johnson. Put. as at Chicago. the situation at the opening revolves about a rivalry on issues for the mo- ment rather than candidates.
 How much influence William J. Bryan will have on the making Of the party's platform and its choice of candidate will be shown soon af' ter the opening of the convention Monday.
 The first evidence of how much of a force Mir. Bryan will be will come in the makeup of the resoiu- tions committed which will draft the platform and in the choice of the permanent organization of the con- ventlon.

Admiral Asserts Secretary Used Underhand Means to
 Break Officers
(Associdted Press Leased Wiro


 WASHINGTON, June 26. - Attacks on Secretary Daniels and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt are made by Rear Admiral Benton C. Decker, comman- dant of the Seventh naval district, Florida. in letters to Chairman Hale of the senate naval investigation com mittee which was published today in the Army and Navy Register, ser vice journal. He charged that the naval secretary in his recent testi- mony before the committee intent ionally and deliberately misrepre- sented certain acts of Rear Admirals Sims. Fullam and Fiske' and that he had determined to break these off cers because they wouldn't follow him to the limit in democratiZing the navy"
 Admiral Decker asserts that in this effort, MT. Daniels had used ! "alI the power of his high office, ] the power of ridcuie, sarcasm and l half truths, the strength of pub 1 ticity secured through bis news l paper connectonS - aii WedPohS
 which Prussia used to destroy it's
 enemies and autocracy has used
 through the ages to maintain it's l power"
 The admiral declared that to him,
 as to other high officials of the
 navy, "it has come that if we bow
 down and do the wishes of MT. Daniels we would receive the re-
 wards therefor-intimation that
 come by circuitous routes and
 nderhanded, sneakng ways, so
 that no one can take hold of them."
 Tn any reorganization of the navy the admiral confines. the best inter ests of the country demanded tha there should be placed in the depart ment an officer "big enough ant broad enough and of sufficient abiiit. to maintain the standards of the nav! against the encroachments of tn civilian secretaries who seek 10 mak' of the navy a political organization. :"

Four Issues Are Fiirebrands That May Start Blaze at
 San Francisco
rAssoeinted Press Leased Wire)


 SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.- Bone dry prohibition, profiteer- ing, industrial relations, the League of Nations and the Irish questions promise to be the head liners in the fight over blanks in the Democratic platform.
 In this category the prohibition question was easily foremost in the minds of leaders and dele gates as the bone drys and the antis began the actual counting iof noses to see where they stood. A convention floor fight seemed almost certain, both sides insist ing that they wanted a verdict on the issue by separate vote of the body of delegates itself.
 Coming rapidly into the lime light ard also threatening fight in the open convention was the Irish question on which a whole scale of recommendations, run ming from Irish recognition to an expression of sympathy, will be laid before the resolutions com- tnittee. The League of Nations row was more or less in the back ground, but opponents of Presi- dent Wilson of various shades of irreconcilabilty were making an effort to get together to block his ratification plank.
 As to the labor problem and prof teering, only the beginnings of disa sreement were in evidence.

MT. Bryan asserted that therec would be no compromise on the pro- hibition question. He said that while an open fight might be avoided, he would force q record vote, both of states and individual delegates, if the liquor question were brought up in the convention. It is tle paramount is sue before the Democrats, MT. Bryan said, declaring his special purpose here was to have dry" plank in- corporated into the platform essen tial to party victory in November" he declared
 The ''wets" were encouraged by reports from southern delegations that hopes for prohibition for a "solid south" for a prohibition declaration were unfounded. They declared that the unit rule could not be invoked on all southern delegations and that many of the tsoutherners were ready to vote against the prohibitlonists.

 Mir. Bryan said he would welcome minority report from the resolution: committee if necessary, to bring tn, is sue squarely before the convention.
 'When we're through" he con tinued, "the country will know whether the Democratic party will be the chattel property of the brewers or whether they'll be out of business never to raise their black flag again. There will be no lodging the issue, no sNukine around as there was at Chicago. If the Democratic party isn't will ing to speak out after the supreme court has withered every argu- ment of the vets, it ought to dis. solve."
 Assailing the Republican conven tion for it's silence on prohibition, MT Bryan said that if the Democrat. wished to secure support from 26,000 900 women voters they must declar for continued prohibition. Any breal in the prohibition wall, he said, woul' result eventually in re-estabishmen of saloons, gambling halls and dives Individual candidates were not dis cussed by MT.

Oyster N0lU Placed On the HonorabN
 Retired List

The little oyster once such an es sential money-making factor in church circles. is henceforth to be taboo. II will be regarded by the Ladies' Aid Society as thing to be summed. Its help to pay the preachers salary or to plug the hole in the church roof or to send missionary to India or. Africa will no longer be needed.
 Of course the oyster will get an honorable discharge from the service for it did not desert, but was the standby of the Ladies' Aid Society un til the women found better way oi financing their obligations for promot ing church work That better way is now being studied in practically all the womens church societies in the United States, according to Miss Laura J. Wright, superintendent of the Wom ans Division of ihe Stewardship De partment of the Inferchurch Work Movement.
 There will no longer be any neee for the women of our churches to re sort to all sorts of cervicS@ for raising money for church purpose when they have learned of the better w4s s>which the stewardship plan provides" said Miss Wright. "The acknowledgment of the principle that God is the owner of all things and that men and womer are the stewards makes church financ ing easy. Wherever the stewardship plan is put into operation, oyster sup pers, bazaars, rummage sales and the like in churches become thing of the past"

STEWARDSHIP PLAN
 PROVES GREAT BOON
 ID ALL PAsT0RATEt

Examples of how churches attain financial strength by the adoption the Stewardship Plan for financing and thus are enabled to assume larger responsibilities for the forwarding the Gospel of Christ in all the world while at the same time increasing their own pastors salaries, are showl on slides and other materia1~tc he uset in lectures prepared by the Stewardl ship Department of the Interchurct World Movement. Different types q churches are used as examples. 2 One country church with an annua budget of $500 increased it's budge to $1,120. A city church with 2OtI members gave $1S.6O per member tt the work of promoting Christianity There were "A lifo work decisions ii that field and five of the workers ar, now in the field. The church has II: tithers.
 Before one church of 26O member put on it's stewardship educationa campaign it was giving $1OO annual! for missions and $500 for current ex penses. After the members "acknowl edged that God was the owner of al things and man was the steward" ant set aside proportion of their incom, their budget called for $3,O0O for nnis sions and $3,400 for current expenses The pastors salary was increases $500.
 In one church of 400 members, 6t tithing families in the church are pay ing S3 per cent of the budget of tn, church, which, with the building fun. of their own church, calls for the ex penditure of $157.O0O in five years.
 In another church, with a recorde, membership of 404 persons, the pas tor was being paid salary of $90 in 1917, which in 1920 will be $2,O0O The increased sense of the obliga tions resting upon the members brought about oy the stewardship edu cational campaign in that denomina ton, quickened the zeal of the churcl along evangelistic lines, according t, the report.
 "The first requisite for successful stewardship beginning is righ motive," said Dr. Ralph S. Cushman director of the Stewardship Depar ment "The acknowledgment of th ownership of all things by God by tn setting aside of a definite proportion the income is not, first of all, matte of raising money tc pay the church. debts or to solve it's financial troubles The acknowledgement is spiritual an, is the test of conservation The funda mental need is not money, but th consecration which systematically an, proportionately places money upG the altar"
