The fact that the secretary con-
ferred with the President before
leaving Washington for San Fran
cisco added significance to his stand
Some committeeman were of the
opinion that the volstead act should
be amended so as to make it's en-
forcement less stringent.
A wide variety of suggestions
ranging from the strictest enforce
ment Of the law to Colby's sugges-
tions were offered. Senator Nc
Keliar.( brought in the Bryan
proposal.
The platform drafters planned 10
work until the document Is complet-

If the assemblyman does not run
