VETS AND DRYS.
Line UP FOR
CONTEST
Bryan, Wheeler, and Others
on Ground Charge Rum
Plots Against Law
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH,
international News Service.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June TO-
Out of the peaceful, dreary con-
vention skies rolled a few wispy
clouds today, and then the war ru-
mors began to zoom.
High hopes surged in the hUsoms
Of those who love an old fashioned
political row, as whisperings Of war
to death between the "wets" and
the "drys" echoed down hotel cor
ridors.
II this war comes off as scheduled
there will be no unpreparedness, for
there are shock troops on both
sides ready for battle, and the
women are going to be among the
first over the top. In fact The first
war signs came from the women
dry advocates.
Mrs. Henry w. Peabody, Of Bos-
ton, chairman Of the Woman's Ma
tional Committee for Law Enforce.
ment, charged that widespread eff.
forts are being made to secure re-
peal or annulment, thus increasing
disrespect for the law"
Hints By Bryan.
This shot brought no reply from
the opposition camp, but Italph
Strassburger, Of Pennsylvania, went
steadfastly on his way girding his
loins for a battle in behalf Of his
light wines and beer plank.
The clouds that thickened and
were famed by gossip waves, while
Wayne B. Wheeler Of the Anti
Saloon League rushed hither and
thither, comforting, urging, demand.
ing and insisting upon strongly
worded dry plank in the platform.
William Jennings Bryan, whose
tendencies towards aridity need no
mention, limited that there might
be some excitement in this conven;
ton yet. ~
Just wait until the platform
comes out" counselled this sage
veteran Of many conventions.
Queried whether he expected q
wet and dry fight" the Commoner
acted more mysterious than ever.
isn't Nicholas Murray Butler q
delegate?" was his parting shot.
Test For Women.
!. If this rumored row develops &C.
cording to the schedule laid out By
the lobby gossiperS IT'S pretty apt
to prove a test of the strength Of
women in the ranks Of the Repub-
lican party. for the women's organi-
cations seem solidly in favor Of a
plank drier than finder.
/ I'VE ask no new legislation" ex.
planned Mrs. Peabody, who seems
! to be the general staff of the female
dry legions. I'VE merely urge
emphasis on the prohibition laws as
they now stand, based on the
| Eighteenth amendment and the Vol
stead act. This would not be neces
sary except that widespread efforts
are being made to secure repeal OF
annulment, thus increasing disre
spect for law. At least SO per cent
Of the women in the Woman's Ma
tional Committee for Law Enforce
ment are in the Republican party
and are eager to stand behind
President Coolidge, whom they fee
they can trust for the enforcement
OF all law, with special stress on
the prohibition law, the one most
openly defied.''
The wet" camp is not announcing
Its plan of campaign, but the
lovers Of political warfare are full
! OF hope that William Jennings
Bryan may know whereof he speaks
when he hints Of trouble.

CONVENTION IS
'DRYEST IN
HISTORY
Wheeler and Other Prohibition
I Men So Assert Women's /
influence, They Say

CLEVELAND, June 1o.-This con.
vention is the dryest in history, II
Wayne B. Wheeler, Anti.Saloon
League leader, has the situation
sized UP rightly.
Wheeler has been giving the con.
vention a pretty thorough inspec.
ton and opines that there Is less
evidence Of bibbling than he has
ever seen before.
George c. Southwell, secretary Of
the Dry Maintenance League, con-
firms what Wheeler says, and gives
the credit to the feminine influence
in politics
$50 far, it's the driest convention
we ever heard Of" Southwell said
today. II think perhaps the In.
creasing influence OF women in
politics may have something to do
with 1t.
"Of course some delegates prob
ably brought a bottle or 80 with
them, but liquor is not being served
up over the bars. Where a car
load Of liquor was consumed at
other conventions there won't be q
flivver load at this convention"
All Of this optimism isn't causing
the dry agents to lessen their
