BRYAN DUE TODAY
WITH OWN PLANKS
Scrap to Gust Wilson From
Frisco Control Seen.
By HUGH BAILLIE,
Staff Correspondent United Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, June Civilian
Jennings Bryan. upon arrival here today,
will face one of the hardest fights of
his career to wrest from the administra-
ton control of the democratic national
convention.
The convention as at present organized
IS practically solidly in charge Of the
friends of President Wilson, and the
program is to put it on record as in
dorsing the executives policies, particu-
larry the league of nations, and to go
into the campaign on that issue.
Bryan is believed to be determined to
bresk up this control, prevent the con-
vention from fatty indorsing the league
and to inject a number OF new issues
into the situation.
When he steps from the train in San
Francisco this afternoon. however, he
will find his opponents. who have been
on the ground for two weeks, apparently
sitting pretty" and confident that the
commOner's eleventh hour arrival will not
seriously annoy them.
The convention situation is this:
The temporary chairman will be HON.
er S. Cummings, chairman OF the ma
tional committee, whose resignation
Bryan demanded several months ago.
Cummins has prepared a keynote
speech applauding the record Of the ad-
ministration, 1t is understood, and put
ling forward the league issue.
The permanent craftsmanship is ex-
"ected TO go to cambridge Colby, Sec
ctary of state.
One craftsmanship of the important
committee on resolutions is conceded to
Carter Glass of Virginia, who is on the
ground with the league of nations plank
adopted by the Virginia state conven-
ton and approved by the president as a
model for the one he wants to go into
the national platform.
The Commoner is expected to get into
speedy touch with leaders who are
against the present program and en-
deavor to organize an effective opposi-
ton.
1t is understood that Bryan has some
platform planks Of his own, including
one for government control Of railroads
and for a national network of good
roads, and while not desiring the conven-
ton to go on record against the league Of
nations. he probably will advocate a
middle course" plank that would push
that issue into the background.
