it was generally expected that the liquor fight would reach the convention itself.
 With both wet and dry factions worG- ing hard through the Sabbath, there also was a strong movement to prevent any mention of the liquor question in the platform, a movement backed by many powerful leaders.
 The Bryan prohibition plank follows:
 We heartily congratulate the demo- cratic party on it's splendid leadership in the submission and ratification of the prohibition amendment to the federal constitution and we pledge the party to the effective enforcement of the Volstead law, honestly and in good faith, without any increase in alcoholic content of per mitted beverages and without any weakening of any other of it's provi- sion"
 q guess there is no doubt about what that means" said Mr. Bryan. We vii give every delegate a chance to go or record for or against it. l expect tC 1 have it adopted by the resolutions com mittee."
 | Mir. Burleson. after reading the BryaI plank gave out his proposals, declaring 1 however, that he had drafted them b! himself and spoke only for himself ant was not to be regarded as the leader 0 the forces favoring modification of tn present laws.
 | The proposed plank which MT Burle son said he believed would meet the sen 1 timent of the great majority of tn 1 American people" reads:
 The open saloon has been general,
 condemned by the American people as
 menace to society and the well bein
 of the people and it's restoration shoul not be tolerated. The validity of tn | eighteenth amendment to the constituto
 having been sustained by the suprem
 court, any law enacted under its au thority must be strictly enforced. How ever, the democratic party pledges 1t utmost endeavors to prevent this ne' grant of federal power from being exer cised in such manner as to become OF pressve or deprive the people of that in dividual librty which it was the purpos cf the union of states to guarantee an preserve through all time. The Volstea | act vetoed by a democratic presiden
 and passed over his veto by a republi can. congress is an extreme exercise . the powers granted by the eighteent amendment and it should be so amend i cd in strict conformity with the spir: l and purpose of the constitution SO as t i eli.nino' -herefrom it's drastic and un
