WASHINGTON.-"The Democra.

cisco in their dilemma over the wet

digator who can make an oasis look
dry and desert look wet"
This was the declaration Sunday
night of Representative Britten, Re-

statement commenting on the "acro-
batic gymnastics of the Democratic
resolutions committee" The COM
mittee, said Mr.. Britten, sis attempt
ing to frame prohibition plank that

continued:
".It is evident to every politician
that millions of wet votes are out in
the cold awaiting a receptive oppor-
tunity and that they will grasp at
straw or shadow in almost hope
less desperation is ample justifica-
tion for the word moulders at San
Francisco to present a meaningless
declaration which will appeal alike
to the vets and the 'drys'."

Postal Head Claims
Nomination Will Go
to Presidents
Son-in-Law
TO PLEASE WILSON
Says Delegates Cannot
Act independently
of Wilson
By James R. Nourse

Universal Service Staff Correspondent,
SAN FRANCISCO.-"McAdoo is
going to be nominated" Postmaster
General Burleson said Sunday.
The postmaster general is the most
accomplished politician in the presi-
dents cabinet. He can see nothing
to the work of this convention but
absolute control of the convention
by the presidents supporters and the
nomination of the presidents SON.
in-law for the presidency.
McAdoo's supporters claim at least
500 votess on the first ballot, con-
ceding almost 400 to Palmer and
about 200 to Cox. They look to see
the Palmer vote decrease after the
first two or three ballots are taken,
with corresponding increase in Nc
Adoo's vote until the necessary two
thirds are reached.
The Cox men claim much larger
vote on the first ballot than the Nc
Adoo supporters concede to them,
and assert his strength will grow
thruout the balloting until he has
been nominated.
BurlesOn made the most direct
statement that has thus been made
to the effect that the convention ia
absolutely dominated by President
Wilson. Most of the other McAdoo
supporters have been endeavoring to
suppress this idea and have worked
strenously to create the impression
that McAdoo is not favored by the
president and that if he were nom.
mated it would be in opposition to
the presidents wishes.
But here is what Burleson had to
say on the subject after stating that
he was perfectly willing to be quoted
on 1t:
This is Wilson convention.
There is no use trying to deceive our
selves and make it appear that the
delegates are going to act independ.
emily of the presidents views.
THE mantle of Jefferson and
Jackson has fallen upon Woodrow
Wilson, he is the great leader of the
Democratic party: and he will con-
,inue to be until the clods have fall
en- upon his coffin. The convention
s going to do his will"
Mr.. Burleson added that McAdoo
s the only man who can be nom
mated with any chance of winning.
1e declared that a ticket of McAdoo
md Cox or McAdoo and Meredith
would sweep the country and con-
inue the Democratic party in power.

RAILROAD STRIKE

Posts, Claim
(By Universal Service)

WASHINGTON.-The nation wide
railroad strike called by OUTLAW
leaders to begin at mid night Satur-
day night failed to attain serious
proportions anywhere in the country
according to reports received at
headquarters of the railway brother
| hoods here Sunday.
These reports, it was stated, show
that comparatively few left their
posts altho the full strength of the
walkout will not be apparent until
the absentees are checked up at the
hour for their resuming work Mon
day. The most serious reports came
from Baltimore, but brotherhood Of
ficials declared these were exag-
gerated.
Selfish disregard of the public in
terest by the individual railroads,
rather than a walkout of employees
is responsible for traffic congestion
and protracted delays in transporta-
ton, according to P. J.. Mcnamara,
vice-president of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen.
He said Sunday:
"The public may rest assured that
the majority of railroad workers will
remain at their posts until the de-
cision of the railroad labor board is
handed down. The men have had
one experience of OUTLAW" striking
in which number of them lost their
seniority rights, and few care to risk
the experiment again.
