Neither Party Likely To Haze
LiquOr Plank In Campaign

leountry on a light wine and beer plat
form.
About e month ago the enthusi-
lasm for this idea reached its peak.
lIf the platform had been written Their
there IS some ground for the belleI
that a light wine and beer plank
would have been In II.
But each day since then has made
this less Likely.
Brysn's Position
The victory of Bryan In MS con-
test for a seat in the convention as
a deIeeate-at-large from Nebraska
greatly dampened the ardor of those
who were urging hat the party
come out for light wine n beer.
1t Is generally understood that
BRYAN will be a member of the COM
| mittce on resolutions and probably
of the ub-Committee which VIII crait
the platform.
Of his powerful influence not only IN
the committee. but later on In the
! convention, IL that Is necessary,
against "a declaration of policy giving
the slightest encouragement TO any
phase of the liquor traffic.
| am told by a close personal friend
Of Bryan who talked with him re-
! Gently that the cOmmoner feels more
| strongly on this subject thar he has
ever tclt dDOuI dDyAtthb az ht A~
| been IN public life. He is much more
interested in keeping the nation bone
dry thar he Is in the success OF the
! Democratic party.
He would like to force the party
! to take a positive position against any
attempt to revise the prohibition law.
But he will be willing to compromise
on n silence program on the theory
that when the states ratified tho pro-
| hibition constitutional amendment,
the hquor question was settled and Is
no longer an issue.
1t is a pretty safe guess that the
liquor question will occupy tho same
| space in the Democratic platform
adopted at San Francisco as 1t will
occupy in tho Republican platform
| adopted three weeks earlier at Chi
cage.

TOWARD AN AUTOMOBILE CODE.

THE August Grand Jury appointed by Judge
i Mcintyre TO investigate traffic conditions in
the Borough Of Manhattan has brought in its
report.
Il is authoritative and convincing and gives evil
dence OF careful study Of the problem.
In brief, the report is a tentative outline OF such
an Automobile Code as the Evening World has
advocated
The Jury recommends the creation of the office
OF Commissioner Of Motor Vehicles separate from
and with greater power than the Secretary Of State
now has more traffic policemen; restriction and
examination of lbensesS provision for suspension
and revocation Of licenses prohibition Of 'iay-walk
ing" more and larger Traffic Courts, and other
pertinent regulations
The Grand Jury is to he congratulated on 50
admirable a report But before it finishes its work
and dsbanis II might well do one more service.
The Jury might properly daft and present to the
public a proposed Automobile Code modelled on
the lines Of its report but in language suitable for
presentation to the Legislature next winter.
Probably not even Jury which has made a
painstakng study Of the situation could formulate
a perfect code which could be passed. II could,
however, make the first proposal and present il for
scrutiny and criticism by the public, the traffic
magistrates and BY automotive experts.
The jury has done good job Of constructive
criticism WIN Il moi favor New York with an
