WETS TOO WEAK TO CAUSE ANY CONCERN AT ’FRISCO

BRYAN MISSES FIREWORKS AT SECOND SESSION No Volunteer, or Called Out Speeches, to Stir Visitors’ Enthusiasm. APPLAUDS SIDE MEETING By W LLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. Copyright, 1920, by W. J. Bryan. SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.—'The 6econd day of the convention seldom is exciting. The accumulated enthusiasm expends itself in the first demonstration. The noise the bottle is uncorked, so to speak, the second day is largely a matter of routine. Permanent Chairman Robinson gave in his own language, which is always well chosen, a review of the party’s splendid economic record, following much of the line of Chairman Cummings’ speech. His remarks about the senate elicited one of the most enthusiastic of the outbursts of applause. He disappointed the drys by not making any reference to the subject of prohibition, a matter the more surprising because he comes from a bone dry state and represents a constituency that has grown more and more firm in its opposition to Intoxicants.

The session was entirely formal beyond the delivery of the speech, there being no volunteer or called-out speeches. "The second day is usually employed as a sort of gala day; prominent democrats are called out to stir enthaslasm by a recital of the glorious deeds of the party and by prophecies aa to what we are going to do to the enemy. There Is no time 'ln a politician's life when Tfctory and the oßces that come with it loom larger than they do on the second day of a convention. The set speeches being couched In language more or less cautious, the audience has to rely upoir the extemporaneous speakers to wave the Sag and pull the tall feathers out of the eagle with real abandon. SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY GOES TO WASTE. Too bad that such a splendid opportunity was wasted, for it must be remembered that those present have been fighting for tickets for weeks. They have been writing to everybody they knew that had a push or a pull. The convention gives the man with influence a great opportunity to demonstrate to his friends how near he is to the throne. • It isn’t fair for a convention to have a short session on the second (lay with so many rhetorical flowers bloomink In the prepared speeches that are resdy delivered extemporaneously. While the convention was proceeding In the auditorium the resolutions committee was affording quite a promiscuous group of petitioners an opportunity to lay before the committee in open session the subject on their hearts. Samuel Gompers. the veteran president of the American Federation of Labor, presented the claims of those “for whom he has so long spoken. He spoke earnestly, as he. always does, and made a very favorable impression on the committee. _ _ He will have more reason to rejoice here than he had In* Chicago.

PROHIBITION' SECOND SIPBJECT ON LIST. Prohibition was the second subject liken up, and %o one who wa* present "ill be guided any longer by those who uare been predicting that the subject 11l be ignored It was .vety' apparent Irom the first moment that tide is the question upon which there Is most feeling. T had the honor of apportioning the lime among those who spoke in favor of a dry plank and was satisfied with the showing made. Bishop Cannon of the Methodist Church South, a typical Virginia democrat, dwe't on the party's part in this great moral victory and appealed to the committee to gratify those who had made this long and successful fight by an assurance there would be no return to alcoholic drinks. Mr. Hall spoke for the Presbyterians and other church boards. Mr. Silsby presented an appeal from the bone dry organization and Mr. Needham presented a formidable package of petitions from the prohibition party. Mrs Yost, the national legislative representative of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, spoke earnestly for nearly 1,000,000 women In that organisation. Former Congressman Hobson (Hiehtrond Pearson) made an eloquent arraignment' of alcohol and begged the democratic party to do its duty to the nation and give hope to the world by a strong declaration in favor of the enforcement of the amendment. Hon. Wayne B. Wheeler, representing twenty-two ns&ional prohibition organisations concluded the arguments for our side.

WHEELER MARES MASTERLY TALK. A* general counsel for the Anti-Saloon league he has defended prohibition legislation in all of the higher courts and. if a lawyer's reputation stands upon his success, he has no superior as a constitutional lawyer. He presented a terrific arraignment of the liquor traffic and marshaled such an array of facts to prove the success of prohibition as to overwhelm the opposition. The liquor side was In charge of Congressman Sabnth of Chicago. He Introduced as the first speaker on their side Hon. Theodore Bell, who made she usual argument in favor of personal liberty. As his speech was directed against all prohibitory laws it weakened rather than strengthened the arguments of those who had been trying to make it appear that the wet side accepted the saloon Issue as closed and urged only a modification of the law for the benefit of home drinkers. As the press dispatches probably will carry the colloquy between him and myself I need not dwell upon it further than to express my satisfaction at having an opportunity to answer publicly a misrepresentation that has been circulated privately. GOMPEBS DENIES MONTREAL BCMOBB. Mr. Gompers was called upon to deny a published report to the effect that the labor meeting at Montreal had turned down a wine and beer proposition. The commute* was assured that the subject was not mentioned at Montreal. New York's great orator, Bourke Cockran, closed the debate for the wets by inveighing .with his customary vehemence against any attempt to prraote a temperance law. As did Mr. Bell, he made, bia assault against the amendment, as well as against its enforcement, and thus confirmed the opinion of those who insist that a question can not be dismissed ss settled so long as the opponents of the law srsail it so vigorously. T#ken, all in all, the hearing Tery

Woman Is Continual Surprise at San Francisco Convention • - ' By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD. SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.—A woman “got” Jim Reed! When Mrs. William Woodrow Martin of Cape Girardeau, Mo., a little town in Missouri, got on to a street car in front of the convention hall at 2 o’clock yesterday morning and went to a little room in an inconspicuous hotel to retire for the night, she was due to awaken famous.

Between the hour:) of 1 and 2 she had "polished off” Senator James Reed, had read him out of the Missouri delegation, and practically out of the democratic party. Eight hours later the great convention itself was hissing the very name of the man she had overthrown. The scene was dramatically simple. For many months the democrats of Missouri have disliked Reed because of his stand against Wilson, both during the war and thereafter. The state convention of Missourians on April 22 chose delegates to the convention, but It DID NOT select Reed. Two weeks after the convention, bossridden Kansas City, boss-ridden St. Louis and Httle Knox county chose Reed as a delegate, though they had no right to do so. Reed came to the San Francisco convention to claim a seat and all the Missouri folks outside of the boss-ridden towns execrated his name. BIG SPEAKERS OPEN IP WITH HEAVY GENS. Then the credentials committee, madef up of master democrats, one from each state, got around to hearing the. Reed case In the committee room at the Au--1 ditortum. There are no higher and Imposing gentlemen In the democratic party , than the members of this committee. First, the United States district attor-. ney of Kansas City. Francis Wilson, a distinguished person, spoke on behalf of the United States senator. He expressed surprise that any one should challenge the statesman's right to sit In the convention as a delegate from Missouri. Next came an Impressive Judge, Emii P. Rosenberger, who, while Mrs. Martin is attending to her/housework in Cape Girardeau. la sitting on a bench, dealing out Justice. He thought Reed ought to be seated. After Rosenberger came Joseph B. Shanno, lawyer, hard-headed democratic boss of Kansas City. The committeemen were sleepy and tired; what'a more they were all political acquaintances of the men who were speaking and they were taking things pretty much for granted when Edward Gcltra, national committeeman from Missouri, asked the committee if they would hear Mrs. Martin, an alternate delegate. No one had heard of Mrs. Martin In politics, before, outside of Missouri. Mrs. Martin took the "witness chair’’ and within fl-e minutes she had the sleepy and ponderous comiAltteemen laughing at her sound wit and homely commonsense.

j SHE TOLD HOW REED HAD BEEN ELECTED. i She told tbe wfeoi story of bow Missourians had elected Mr. Reed to the i senate at a time when Reed was supporting Wilson with might and main. | ‘‘But as soon as be was ail safely elected.” she said, "be turned on ua all and began to oppose everything that Wilson did. He waa against food measures in the war; he opposed eouaertptioa; he blocked us lu every way. We mothers of Missouri were giving our sons to the country and Reed was in our parh.” She spoke with ao easy smile: committee members said afterward that they [ felt like boys who were being tolerantly scolded by a wise and common sense mother In speaking of Kansas City and its : bossed clique, she Introduced a picture i of domestic life that won her hearers, i “Kansas City couldn't get what it : wanted in the state convention,” she ! said, “so it tried to get it all by itseif. ! Kansas City waa giveu a chance to name a delegate besides Reed, but it didn't do so. It was like a bad boy." she said drolly. “whose mother gives him a chance to have any number of good things to eat, but who keeps from him one certain thing that will make him sick and perhaps make the whole family nnhappy. The boy says if be ‘•an’t have that oce thing he will starve; be won't take the other things that are offered him. But he doesn't atave. At night, after every one is In bed he goes to the cupboard and tries to steal what was denied him. “There's nothing for that boy,” Mr*. Martin added with a quiet smile, "but a spanking." SHE COMPLETELY DESCRIBED CASE. Mr*. Martin's picture of home life was so true so completely described the Reed case that it over-rode all the eloquent arguments of thA attorneys and the great political leaders on the other side and, still smiling, the committee voted 39 to 0 against seating Scuator Reed. Today Mrs. Martin is the talk of the | convention. One of the honors that came to her, before the day was old, was to be dfflcialiy invited by a representative of the governor of Georgia to speak to the legislature of that state on woman suffrage. Mrs. Martin is a simply dressed woman of middle age. She speaks with a Mls-

much encouraged the drys and increnses the probability of a dry plank in the platform. There are probably 200 delegates in the convention who would trade their views on every other question for a wet plank and go home happy in the belief that the democratic party can carry the election by an appeal to the throts of tl/e drinkers and the pockets of those who want to go into the business rather than by arguments that appeal to the heart and the conscience. x But with woman suffrage In sight the delegates know hat a wet plank would be suicidal. The real contest is between the drys and the dodgers. MAXI OTHER SUBJECTS TOUCHED AT HEARING. A number of other subjects were presented, among them agriculture, education and the Irish question. And I might add in this connection that here, as at Chicago, the women have surely justified their claim to equal consideration. The league of women voters presented a battery of speakers that would '.e hard to match. Senator Phelan and Mr. McClatchy of Sacramento appeared before the committee in behalf of more rigid Japanese exclusion, the latter with statistics and the former with a masterful digeßt of the situation. Those who have heard the- senator before say this is the most powerful address he has made on the subject. It showed him to be an effective speaker, as well as acquainted with the subject. The greatest personal victory yet won in I this convention was scored by a young Filipino by the name of Jose T. Melencia. * He has charge of the Philippine publicity bureau at Washington. He is onij\ 28 years old and received his education in the public schools of the Philippines—under American teachers, as he prondly boasted, and at Georgetown, D. C. \ He is a remarkably promising youug iSpeaktng with grace, using the best language and without a trace of embarrksament, he presented the claim of the wllplnos to independence The\audiepcd was astonished at tjc

souri drawl and gives on© an impression of extreme commou sense, with no frills. “My husband is a professor in the Missouri state teachers' college,” she told me; “lie's splendid. "He believes juat as I do about things and he helps me to do things. Reed got so bad In our state that he didn't represent the folks any longer, and when I was asked to tell the credentials committee about him I agreed to do so.” “Didn't the big moguls embarrass you, "I asked her. She smiled benignly. I her fleeting thought. "Did they really seem like boys to you?" I asked. "Well, I felt sort of maternal with ; them," she answered. Then she gave me a little touch of the homely common sense with which she won over the credentials committee la the wee hours. BHOILD BE LIKE FAMILY COUNCIL. "Yon know,” she said, “when men and women get together In politics it ought to be just like pa and ma talking over family affairs." State Chairman Goltra, who was responsible for Introducing Mrs. Martin to the credentials committee, and also to sudden fame, said: "I knew Mrs. Martin would win them. We heard her talk at the state convention about Reed. She licked him there and we knew she could lick him here, too.” Mrs. Martin has a son In Chicago university and a daughter in the Cape Girardeau High school. From the time you get up In the morning until the time you go to bed these women folks are around mixing up things and surprising you. Just take an Incident In the life of A. Mitchell Palmer, for Instance. Palmer likes to mix up with the men delegates; they're the ones he expects to get his votes from, but the women insist upon having him to luncheon and be has to go. This time It was breakfast in the rose room at the Palace. Os course, not all the women at the convention went. But the breakfast went off nicely. Palmer was simply immersed, sunk, surrounded by feminine besuty and in- : tellect. And then came the jolt. After breakfast he went upstairs to Carter Glass’ room to get his overcoat. The room was locked. Palmer found the chambermaid In the ballway. U’i’lease unlock this door,” he said. "I want to get my overcoat." . “I'm sorry, but It's against the rules,'*’ she answered. “But I must go in there 1 am th . attorney-general of the United States,” 1 said Palmer. BEST ROSE ROOM SMILE HASN’T SLIGHTEST EFFECT. “I'm very sorry, sir, but I can't opeu Mr. Glass’ room without sn order from j the office or from Mr. Glass. Tt would lie nil nr Joh Is worth." “Pshaw," said Palmer, with his best rose room smile, *TH take the responri- : tdlity. Let me have the key." "I can't do It, sir." said the chamber- j maid.

Palnier went away and sent a military man up to the room. “Let rae-tave that key." the lieutenant said to the chambermaid. "i can’t without an order from th* ofilce." said the matd. "But the attorney-general must bar* his coat,” said the lieutenant. “If yon'll telephone down to tho office and get permission I'll let you ln,‘* su'd the chambermaid. Just at this point a superior officer, member of Palmers suite, came along the hallway to see what the delay wa* about. The lieutenant saluted the officer and said, "This maid. sir. refuses to give me the key.” "Not without an order from the office, sir." said the maid, as militarily as could be. “It happened that the superior officer was a white man. He patted me on the shoulder." snid the maid, afterward, “and said to me. ‘That's right. You'd make a good soldier.’ And so they went downstairs uaul got nu order from the office " 1 have told this story at some length to Illustrate the fact that we men folk here can’t Judge women by their looks or their actions. Palmer didn't stand a chance with this chambermaid from the very first. She Is a gray-haired little English woman from Southampton. She has a •on who Is an officer in the British army In Egypt, and because the war cut off her patrimony she took a place in t?ie Palace hotel. Her name is Mabel Cheesoraan and, after fire years of war in England, she knows that orders ate orders. By 1324 a man won’t dare go into politics. From delegates to chambermaids these democratic women sre sll dangerous surprises.

strength of his argument, the skill with which he marshaled his facts and the high tone of bis speech. He captivated every one and committeemen and visitors paid him the compliment of rising and cheering when he concluded his pica. EQUALLY ASSURED UNDER QUESTIONING. When one of the committee asked him some questions he returned to the platform and answered them with as much logic and precision ns If he had taken weeks to prepare his answer. It was a remarkable triumph As one who began twenty-two years ago to fight for the promise of Independence, I was proud of this illustration of what the Filipino is capable. One of the committeemen expressed some irritation at the amount of time that had been devoted to the hearings. I explained to him that ,wc, who were not on the subcommittee charged with the preparation, or at least with the reportlng qn the formal draft of the platform, had nothing else to do for the , present and could gather a good deal of information while awaiting the action |of our superiors, adding that our position was Illustrated by a story. An agricultural college instructor was enlightening a rural audience as to scientific farming. In the course of his remarks he explained that corn, boiled before being fed, could be digested by the hog in half the time it took to digest raw corn. When this important fact had beenmade clear the professor was somewhat disconcerted by a question put to him by a farmer in the front row, "What’s a hog’s time worth, anyhow?” 1 Mrs. Bass Retains Leadership of Women SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.—Mrs. George J. M. Bass remains today the leader of democratic women. Women delegates and alternates, in caucus, gave Mrs. Bass what amounted to a vote of confidence. For several days the word had been passed about that with the admission of women to the democratic national committee, Mrs. Baas would pass ont as the leader of democratic women.

JORDAN HINTS AT COMBINE TO FIGHT MADOO Says Fading Booms of Others May Give Birth to Powerful Opposition. WILSON STILL AT WHEEL By DAVII> STARR JORDAN, (Republican). Copyright, 1020 by International News Service. SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.—As I write the presidential will controls the democratic convention, though facing the certainty of some degree of revolt. Mr. Robinson's impnssioned address recalls our early idealism and forestalls an unqualified Indorsement of tho administration. To have w-on war to end war” and to have Inaugurated the league of nations are emphasised as crowning achievements. The signs still point toward the nomination of McAdoo. His force, capacity and independence of character genuerally are recognized and It Is believed he will draw a large part of that liberal vote which may determine the election. The Cox boom Is subsiding, for the moment at least, and the Palmer boom, with its noisy clique of rooters, seems to make no progress within or without the convention. That Palmer, If nominated, conld not be elected, appear* evident. Indeed, to defend his activities one of the hardest tasks which confronts the Wilson forces. PEW OBJECTIONS ARK HEARD. To the nomination of McAdoo I -bear but few direct objections. Natnraliy tho epithet 'crown prince” is burled at him by the press, but He appears to have taken no advantage of his relationship to Mr. Wilson. It la conceded generally, however, that he lacks the “glad hand” ordinarily thought a democratic asset. Some of t|l* rivals complain that he ought to have made his position clear, one way or the other. Hut the very fact that McAdoo is taking the lead may cause the others to combine against him and the powerful opposition of Bryan must be faced by any artfiunisfration candidate. Mr Bryan Is, in fact, Ukeiy to be In the center of a three cornered tight, against the wet group on the one hand and the Wilson group on the other. To the former he will doubtless never yield and for this reason perhaps, the platform seem* to him more important than the candidate. On the surface the convention atmosphere seems wholly placid. Nobody appears much excited over the outcome. The steamroller is well oiled and works with precision, yet Its operations arouse scant Indignation. An unpleasant senator from Missouri is thrown out, a bit arbitrarily perhaps, j but protests barely reach the public ears. It !• part of the game. A few warm-hearted Georgian*, stung by alleged unfairness, threaten to rote for Harding, but when they think over the matter they will not inflict on themselves such cruel punishment. The absence of personal bitterness In American contests Is a most hopeful feature. Our people are good losers. If we fail to get what we want we fry again next time The defeated faction raise* no physical banner of revolt. The struggle once over esch one go#* back to his business confident that j though a world opportunity may be lost. It will come bsds again and no world j calamity meanwhile Impends.

fONTR IST TO EUROPE DRAWN. This mood contrast* happily with the fierce animosities which so often pervade the left, the right and even the center In the parliaments of the continent. In these antagonisms there Is more at stake than In America with less certainty of either tolerance or Justice. The majority In each party will go on voting the regular ticket whatever the platform or the nominee The thick and-thln vote is broroldic and unrritU-a). Therein lies the Opportunity of the party boss--the leader of the unthinking. Thnee who discriminate arc independent largely of political parties, regarding such organizations ns useful mainly as a menus to attain idealistic ends. But a soild partisan vote also has Its advantages; it la a safeguard against ill-considered action. if it checks reform it also blocks retrogression. Were the whole body of the people quickly responsive, even to each pinusi ble/ proposition, the upshot might be not progress but anarchy. The fact that no important difference separates the two historic parties need not be a reproach. Both stand. In the main, for the stability of society. The distinction largely concern* the rewards of office. Clarify and condense the republican platform and cut out the perfunctory denunciation or turn It about and it would serve fairly _wcll for the democrats. Platforms aro ns a rule—and by necessity—not very distinctive, for real iasuej rarely divide on party lines The same kinds of people, wet and dry, rich and poor, bond and free, are found in both partiea, and In much the same proposition. That their differences arouse Utile excitement indicates that they are not dangerous. Our practical unanimity when great matters are at stake is a sign of tho vitality of democracy.

Doctor Tells How to Strengthen Eyesight 50 Per Cent in One Week’s Time in Many Instances

A Free Prescription To* Cu H*ve Filled and Use at Home Philadelphia, Pa. Do you wear glasses? Are you a victim of eye strain or other eye weaknesses? If so, he glad to know that according toNDr. Lewis there is real hope for you. Many whose eyes were falling say they hare had their yes restored through the principle of this wonderful free prescription. One man saya, after trying it: "I was almost blind; could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without -any glasses and my eyes do not water any more. At night they would pain me dreadfully; now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me.” A lady who used it says;*"The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after uaing this prescription for fifteen days everything seems clear I can even read fine print without glasses." It is believed that thousands whe wear glasses can now discard them VP a reasonable time and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. Bye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by following the simple rulea. Here la the prescription: Go to any active drug stora and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets.

He may show equally with McAdoo on the first ballot and the tendency will he to grow, but whether he can leap the 728 gap is the question. 4. Thomas Riley Marshall of Indiana is somewhat stunned by the rising tide of popular talk about his presidential candidacy, but it is not likely that he will have much more than a native son vote on the first ballot. Maybe it will grow to sizeable proportions. LONG LIST OF FAVORITE SONS. Then will come the long list of favorifl? son*, with an aggregate of some 300 pledged vote* among them. Gov. Edward I.

Smith of New York can lay claim to New York’s ninety votes, as the unit rule may be broken even on the first ballot. John W. Davis of West Virginia may have a few more than the sixteen vote* of hi* state delegation. Homer S. Cummings will get Connecticut's fourteen votes and may show more strength. Carter Glass gets twenty-fogr Virginia votes and Is in the running .^trifle. Senator Robert L. Owen m Oklahoma has his state's twenty-two vote* as a ne*t egg. Others with pledged home state delegations are Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, sixteen votes; former Ambassador to Germany Gerard, with South Dakota's ten votes; Senator Simmons of South Carolina with eighteen votes. In the session former Ambassador Gerard probably will be honored by the first nominating speech, as Arkansas will yield to South Dakota when the roll of states Is called. But three candidate racers come up I to tho wire with the nervousness o| thoroughbred* and ®o one care* to "beat the barrier." lest the finish be bad. U. S. G. Cherry of Sioux Falls, S.

WOMEN EAGERLY STUDYING MOVES Mrs. Bass Says They Take to Work Earnestly. By MRS. GEORGE BASS. SAN FRANCISCO. June 30.—A good many women are having their first Insight into the may I say conventional —ways of man for the first time, and they are dazed, amazed, amused, confused and interested all the time. Some of the women here were at the recent biennial, so they have an excellent chance to compare this convention v-lth that one this with its brief. Indefinite day-to-day spontaneous program so different from the long, carefully worked out, sometimes exhaustive and always exhausting mental hill of fare that gives everj- good clubwoman brain fag biennially. However, there are certain points of agreement. Most of the delegates to both club and political conventions are in dead earnest, burning with zeal for some great cause and with no little ax of their own to grind, and if we are all acquainted with the occasional woman delegate whose main idea x is to wear as many changes of raiment as possible she has her counterpart in the man'who'thinks his one, solemn, urgent duty is to make 33 muen noise as possible on every possible occasion. Men are used to going to convention* and letting the committees do the work, but in women’s conventions we all of us have a great deal to do right along, and i am willing to predict that within the next dozen years the meetings of the platform and resolutions committee, and they should be separate commltees—will make up a far more Important and Integral rart of the convention than they now do. All these women are eager and interested and they want to know what is going on and hear the discussions that precede the recommendations of the committees. The sinister Jest that platforms are meant to get in on, rather than to stand on, has gone into the discard forever, and If women bad done only this in the year of their great advent into politics they would have more than Justified their prcsenW.

Tentative Draft of Planks fbr ’Frisco Platform (Continued From Page One.) program of the woman’s party having to do with such as old age pensions, nonemployment Insurance, maternity benefits, improvement of conditions among workers has been met favorably, It Is said. The use of the Injunction In labor disputes was the subject of long dlscu sion, but condemnation of It may be omitted. IRELAND —An effort has been made to put Into the platform an Irish' plank which will declare the futility of passing resolutions In favor of the Irish republic or even recognizing the republic, but the importance of turning the question over to the league of nations is favored. It is not clear at this time what form this plank will take. MEXICO —The sentiment of the committee Is for a plank which will withhold recognition from any government of Mexico that’ does not comply with such responsibilities as maintenance of effective border patrol, honest government, enactment of laws fit to protect foreign Investments and legitimate enterprises, fair taxation of foreigners and payment of international oblig>Mo:>. SOLDIERS’ BONCES- It is doubtful if the platform will favor the flat payment of soldiers’ bonuses, but will provide for proper assistance for maimed, crippled or sick soldiers as a government duty through an efficient hoard. The draft '•anres that ablebodied men who fought for America expect financial rewards, but Insists that a scheme for putting veterans in possession of land for agricultural pursuits, when desired, should be effected without delay. The entire platform, It is reported, will make about 5,000 or 0,000 words, if the tentative sub-committee draft is accepted and indeed reaches the committee on resolutions and platform in about the same form that It was In this morning. Senator Carter Glass is the chief voice In the document.

Bryan Fighting for Political Existence | SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.—Bryan is waging the fight of his life. On the 1 prohibition issue, it is apparent, he has : a chance to win, but on the league issue j it look* as if he has his back j wall. I Administration forces are not considering a compromise with the Nebraskan, firmly believing they can beat him in the committee and on the floor. Bryan's direct challenge to Wilson on the league issue, delivered in his speech i at the Jackson Day banquet in Washington last January, has not been forgotten. The Wilson leaders evidently want to eliminate him from polities and are determined to annihilate \im In the present encounter. i If Bryan 1* decisively beaten In the liquor fight, his opponents will feel he J has been definitely crushed politically. This they hold would obliterate all j chance* of Bryat influencing the presi- • dentlal nomination or holding a veto power over any candidate.
