BRYAN CARRIES POINT
IN DRY PLANK ROW

Volstead Act.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, June PA row over
prohibition enforcement broke out
yesterday at a caucus Of the Florida
delegation, with William Jennings
Bryan at one end of the argument
and former Gov. Albert W. Gilchrist
on the other. In the end AR. Bryan
had his way
The tilt was precipitated after
Bryan had been placed on the COM
mittee which will frame the platform.
Mr.. Gilchrist offered a resolution de-
claring it the sense of the delegation
that there should be no prohibition
plank. After twenty minutes dis
cussion. marked by exchanges of per-
sonalities, the resolution was reject
ed. Gilchrist and Thomas ]. Apple
yard, also a delegate at large, were
It's only supporters.
Several members of the delegation
Joined with Bryan in declaring it
would be mistake to tie his hands
with instructions. The former Secre-
tary of State pointed out that the res
olutions committee would be made up
of divergent elements and the draft
ing of platform would be a "give-
and-take" proposition.
His supporters declared they were
willing to trust him to urge adoption
plank. ~ ''f'emeh'
Mr.. Gilchrist, admitting he was out
numbe red, insisted that his resolution
be put to vote. Mr.. Bryan referred
to both him and Appleyard as "wets,"
a term which Mr.. Appleyard resent
ed because, he said, he had not taken
drink of liquor since he was eigh-
cen years old.
Mr.. Bryan told his colleagues that
IL the Democratic convention did not
"go as strong" on law enforcement as
the declaration in the Republican par
ty platform, the Democrats in the
coming campaign, would find them
selves on the wet side of the fence.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun-
sci of the Anti-Saloon League, ad-
dressing a meeting Of Congregational
ministers, today, said that "a dry
plank will not help prohibition en-
forcement laws on the statute books
at Washington"
congressman" he continued, look
to their respective districts rather
than to planks for instruction"

third ticket in the field, because 1t is
satisfied that the Democratic plat
form is progressive and its candi-
dates are progressive. or it may run
Senator La Toilette for the presi-
dency. In either case the Democrats
figure they will attain advantage
from the position taken by the Pro-
gressives. If La Toilette apparently
asSents to the progresiveness of the
Democratic platform and nominee, it
will mean votes for them, they think.
And IL Senator La Toilette runs on a
third ticket it will take votes away
from the Republican party, particu-
larly in the northwest.
A labor leader here for the con-
vention said today that in his opin-
ion the oil scandals had done for Mr..
McAdoo as a candidate for President t
Had 1t not been for the McAdoo con-
nection with Doheny. he said. McAdoo
would have been nominated beyond
doubt.
A representative of a grea. farm
organization. also here for the con-
vention, said. too. that the farmers
had not gotten over the oil episode
in McAdoo's law practice and that
they would not support him if NOM
mated to the extent needed to bring
success
The labor leader, discussing John
W. Davis of West Virginia, expressed
the opinion that Mr.. Davis would
scarcely be acceptable to the pre-
gre ssives in the party because of his
employment by the house of Morgan.
The farmer, on the other hand,
seemed to think that Mr.. Davis
might, after all, make an appeal to
the farming element in the country.
The labor leader said that informa-
tion had come to him from what he
considered a reliable source that
Senator La Toilette would surely run
if the Democrats named a man like
Davis of West Virginia, but that if a
real Progressive were chosen, the
Wisconsin senator would not head a
third ticket, but would content him
self with seeking to aid in the cleo
tion of a Progressive Congress.
Alcohol. not oil, is the fly in the
ointment so far as Gov. AL Smith is
concerned, according to the western
ers here. The southerners do not like
him because he is a Catholic. If it
were not for these matters, Gov.
Smith, in view Of his record, might
well be considered the Progressive
leader who would be satisfactory to
the party generally.
The question is being asked in
many quarters, Just how Progress
sive is John w. Davis of West Vir-
ginia?'
Much that appeals to the delegates
has been said of Mr.. Davis. A new
slogan was heard today, Davis and
decency."

Madden declared, appropriations

year, and while other nations are
struggling with overwhelming debts,
the United States is enjoying the
economic benefits which arise from
