DEMOCRAT PARTY
LEADERS DISCUSS
PROPOSED PLANKS
BurlesOn's Declaration for
Modification of Nolstead
Law Draws Interest.

By associated Press:
SAN FRANCISCO. June 22-Post-
master Gen. Burleson's statement,
Tuesday, at San Antonio regarding
democratic platform issues drew
particular attention among party
leaders here for the national con
vention next week because of it's
frank declaration for modification of
the Volstead prohibition enforcement
act
Mr.. Burleson's demand for repeal
of the drastic and absurd" pro
visions of the act expressing in more
direct fashion views which some of
the party leaders now here previous
ly had voiced privately. Coming from
a member of Pres't wilson's cabinet.
the statement was regarded as a
possible intimation Of the admins
tration's attitude on the prohibition
issue before the convention.
Glass to Arrive.
Sen. Glass, who is due Wednesday,
is understood TO have been trusted
of "a formal expression Of Pres't
Wilson's views as to the platform.
ON other occasions. however, the
postmaster general has been the di-
rect spokesman Of the president on
important issues.
The preliminary convention dis
cusSion in progress here, while Who'll
IS informal in character, has shown
a striking unanumity OF opinion on
two points thus far. The first of
these IS that the platform struggle
will be the real fight of the conyen-
tion; the second, that the prohibition
plank will be the chief issue in that
fight, outrivaling the League of Ma
tiCns declaration N interest among
the delegates.
Opposes Wilson.
In the league issue, W. J. Bryan
already is standing directly opposed
to Pres't Wilson'S views as TO the
party attitude. That dates back to
the Jackson day dinner when Mr.
Wilson urged that the democrats en-
ter the campaign on the issue Of rati-
cation Of the league covenant with
out material reservations. The for
mer secretary Of state stood just as
strongly for acceptance Of the re-
publican senate reservations as a ba-
sis for ratification.
Mr.. Eurleson's statement is 10 be
accepted as representing the presi-
dents views on prohibition, delegates
said, it now was evident that Bryan
and the administration forces were
10 clash also over that plank.
Pending arrival Of Sen. Glass. Mr..
Burleson and Mr.. Bryan, all Of whom
Will reach the convention city dur
ing the week, the few party leaders
and delegates already on the ground
have been exchanging only gossipy
comment and expressions Of person
al opinion on issues TO come up.
There have been no conferences as
yet and there is still little activity
among workers for various candi-
| dates for the presidential nomina-
ton
