For Rules Committee

San Francisco, June 27-The polit-
ical activity of Sunday that has
aroused the most interest, aside from
the manuvers in the candidates
camps, has been the progress of the
struggle for the chairmanship of the
committee on resolutions between
Senator Carter Glass. representing
the administration. and Senator
Walsh, Of Massachusetts,. who may
be said to represent the opposition.
Senator Walsh holds that a blanket
endorsement of the attitude on the
treaty of the administration would
be suicidal. In this opinion he is

clinstiop to do all the President
may want short of renominating is
so great that it is possible his plank
may be adopted.
At present neither of the warring
factions will make public its plat
form.
The platform of anti-administra-
tion forces is based upon one pre-
pared originally by Bryan, and to
which Senators Walsh and Reed
have made later contributions. The
Presidents plank is based on the
Virginia platform with some
changes, the nature of which Sena-

Chairman Hinshaw's letter read
as follows:
Recognizing that seven-eighths

the men of the United States favor

hibition; and a large majority of
the women and the overwhelming
sentiment of the moral forces of the

Indicated by the recent actions of

And recognizing that the Repub-

And recognizing that in your
convention there is one large group
of delegates holding one of these
issues as paramount; and another
large group holding the other as
paramount:
Therefore 1 earnestly urge upon

My contention is that the party
should do for the poor what the
rich can do for themselves. That

Burleson was in conference with
Senator Glass. Secretary Colby and
other Administration leaders during
the day.
Despite BurlesOn's frank avowal
of the control exercised over the
convention by the President, Nc
AdoO's supporters made another
move to avert the suspicion that the
Administration is behind McAdoo's
candidacy.
They decided to withdraw SeCre-
tary of State Colby as candidate
for the permanent Craftsmanship Of
the convention and permit the place
Ito go to Senator Joe Robinson,
of Arkansas. 1t is practically set
tied that Robinson will get the
chairmanship without opposition.
McAdOo's supporters felt that it
would look as if the White House
were actually in control if they per-
sisted in backing Colby's fight for
the chairmanship.
