SAN FRANCISCO. June 26.-The bat
tie is on.
To-day. with nearly all the principal
adversaries face 20 face for the first
time in the convention city, the real
fight began-the clan Of President VII
son on one side, the clan Of William Jen-
nings Bryan Oh the other.
Both sides admit the choice Of O demo-
cratic nominee for president depends
very largely upon the platform, so tha
, invisible struggle which reached full
swing here today centerel about the
shaping Of that document
Chief of the points in dispute, Of
course. is the treaty, the wet and dry
running it a close second.
Bryan arrived here last night.
Today bright and early lie got down
to business at his headquarters on the
second floor of the st. Francis hotel.
lie at once took of hlr' coat and in his
shirt sleeves received the callers who
came through the door OF No go in q
never-ending stream.
CoAIMoNER TO BE
NEBRASKA MEMBER.
The commoner It is known, will lead
the fight for a treaty plank calling for
whatever reservations necessary to secure
immediate ratification.
He will he the member Of the resolu-
tions comrlittee from Nebraska and will
open up with his guns there.
II he fails to get what he wants in
committee it is understood he will carry
the light to the floor Of the convention,
where spectacular things may happen.
The opposition to a treaty plank In
dorsing the league" without reserva-
lions" declared, is so strong that an ef-
fort is being made to find some middle
ground.
But the success of the effort is not
lattering.
If your efforts in the committee on
resolutions are not as successful as you
would wish viii you carry the fight to
the floor Of the auditorium" he was
asked.
I'D rather not discuss that nOw," he
said.
The commoner could not be persuaded
to reveal his method of attack, particu-
larly where the treaty was concerned.
MORE fALKATIVE
ON PROHIBITION.
On prohibition, however, he was more
conversational.
AT the present" he said, 1.-The inter
est centers In the platform rather than
in the candidate, every one recognizing
that the availability of the candidate
will be materially affected by the plat
form announcements.
THE vets recognize that they can not
possibly secure majority Of the resolu-
tions committee or a majority of the
delegates and the disposition is not to
risk the effect of an adverse votes
"They are now discussing dry planks
for use If they fail in their effort to keep
the subject out of the platform. But
the subject can not be kept out of the
platform, unless 1t is done by yea and
nay vote in the convention and a roll
call will be much more disastrous to the
vets than q viva voce vote"

Cadillac Demand
May Be Greatly in
Excess Of Supply

1T has been matter Of keen re-
greet to US that many person who
wanted to buy a Cadillac last year
was disappointed, because there were
not enough to go round" says
Lynn McNaughton, general sales
manager of the Cadillac Motor Car
Co.
Neither the Cadillac company nor
its distributors want to be placed
in the position of DISAPPOINTING so
many people as were unable to pro-
vide themselves with our cars last
year.
1T appears now to be reason
ably certain that orders now being
placed will absorb the company's
1920 output. Undoubtedly the, Cad
illac's war record has measurably
heightened the public's appreciation
Of the car. which means that the
Cadillac, market is much wider than
heretofore-and even before the war
it never was fully supplied. +.
1T is probably safe to predict
that those who were disappointed
last year will take due precautions
this year. along with thousands of
others who have learned. from ex-
perience. to anticipate their wants
and needs as far in advance as pos
sihle"
