Of Democrats
Platform and Candidates Of

public Ledger serviee1

(Publie Ledger serviee.)
What the Democratic party will
do at San Francisco depends very
largely on what the Republican
party did three weeks previously in
Chicago. II the Republicans nomi-
nate an Eastern man, the Democrat
ic Presidential nomination is likely
to go to a Westerner. II a Western
er heads the Republican ticket, the
Democrats will go East for their
chief standard bearer On the equal
ly important question of platform
Chicago, too. will not be without It's
influence on San Francisco.
1t may be taken as fairly certain
that the Democrats will stand by
the President" on the treaty ques-
ton. The spirit, IL rot the letter, of
the Presidential veto of the Knox
peace resolution will be written
boldly into the San Francisco plank
on foreign relations. There Is to
be no unnecessarily aggravating In
sfsterice on Mr.. Wilson's undefiled
and unqualified treaty. There may
even be a concession to mild res
ervationists in the form Of acqui-
escence in any reservations that re-
serve without nullifying.
Prohibition Is Issue.
On the other cardinal 1920 issue, if
issue it is to be-prohibition-t
Democrats will only be moved to
moisten their platform by similar
action at Chicago. 1t is the present
intention of the party to stand pat
on the Eighteenth amendment as a
piece of accomplished statutory law.
II the G. .. +. loosens up, party
strategy will require the Democrats
to follow suit, but nothing else will.
The committee on resolutions will
contain ffty-three members. 1t has
already been acertained that thirty
seven of them will be dry. The drys
will include William Jennings

Paris. May 2S-It is more than
likely that President Deschanel will
be unable to resume the duties of
the Presidency. He probably soon
will tender his resignation and a
new chief of state will be chosen.
In the corridors both of the
chamber of deputies and Senate it
is declared the train accident to
NJ. Deschanel had as its main cause
"a state of bodily and mental ia
|tigue that has existed for several
months and which cannot be, ame-
liorated without long repose, that
not before winter at the earliest
can NJ. Deschanel take up the heavy
activities of his office.
In the official encourage of the
President 1t is hoped that a few
weeks will show such decided i'm
provement that the idea of resig-
nation may be abandoned or post
poned.
The only program in France
when a President dies or is unable
to keep the position is to hold a
