one Of the probabilities is that the
Democrats assembling in San Fran
cisco will straddle the prohibition
question by adopting dry" platform
and nominating a man like Cox, who
is alleged to be a wet" They will
hardly write a wet platform while
Bryan is on the job and his voice holds
out, but he may not be able to control
the nomination. A similar course was
pursued in St. Louis in 1904. The
nomination of Parker had been ar
ranged in advance, and being unable
to prevent it Bryan set about captur-
ing the platform and he did 1t but 1t
was necessary to talk almost unceas-
ingly for twenty-four hours. When 1t
was all over it was found that the
party's declared principles and the
candidate were entirely out of har-
mony. What followed, therefore, was
inevitable from the start.
