: No man knows what action the con

BEGINS FIGHT
FOR CONTROL
First Effect Disclosed by Nebras
, kan's Effort at San, Francisco
Is Trend to Make Walsh
Chairman of Resolution Group.
By Hugh BalUle
San Francisco June 26. (U. P.)
-William Jennings ; Bryan today
started his fight to shake adminis
tration control " of the Democratic
convention.
One of the first results was a marked
increase In the strength of the move
ment to make Senator Walsh of Mon
tana chairman of the resolutions com
mittee instead of Sen at of Carter Glass
of Virginia. President Wilson's choice.
Bryan said today be expected to be
the Nebraska member of the resolutions
committee, which frames the platform,
and: it follows that he will make a
vigorous fight to prevent Glass getting
the chairmanship and' will- battle for
a dry " plank and will oppose a League
of . Nations plank modeled on the Vir
ginia state platform, whlch Wilson
wants. "
BBTAU PREDICTS DBXWESS
T have no dry " plank drawn, but 1
expect a dry plank to go into the plat-
form,'' Bryan told the United Press to
day. "I cannot say whether the dry
issue will go to the floor of the con
vention. I expect, the majority of the
resolutions to be- dry. The wets will
take it before the convention, if it is
taken to the floor. .
In this connection, it was learned to
day that wet advocates who have looked
over the convention personnel claim that
587 delegates are wet. They plan to
get a : minority resolutions committee
report favoring a light wine and beer
plank onto the floor - and argue it ex
tensively, making a strong fight for its
adoption. "
"Light wine and beer is a sham issue,'
Bryan continued. "A straight whiskey
issue would be stronger." - c
. : He cited results of previous wet sod
dry elections to show- that light wine
and beer had been heavily voted down
when, their restoration in prohibition
communities was attempted. ., :
COJTTBOLS 3?EBBASXA GBOTJP ,
Bryan Is now in control of the Ne
braska delegation; claiming 11 of its 16
votes . and, while he would - not talk on
the subject,' it is expected he will be
elected chairman of the delegation. That
will put him in the position where he
will poll the delegation's vote on each
ballot and announce it. -
"I have no plans -whatever, he as
serted. . "Of course, it's a safe assump
tion that I'm likely to meet Democrats
from time to time."
' With, regard to profiteering and the
possibility of a plank pledging the party
to suppress it, Bryan said he "took it
for granted" there .would be a "strong
plank on that subject."
WANTS STBOKO PLATFOBM
He said he Intended to work for a
strong platform, one that would appeal
to the . country, and for a ticket that
would win. He would not discuss the
various candidates, as he said the plat
form would have a bearing on . what
candidate would be selected. Indicating
it should be disposed of first. - --
The commoner traveled with the Ne
braska delegation, and got his first wel
come to California at Sacramento, where
a crowd had gathered. Bryan looked
rather tired. . He wore the familiar black
alpaca and a high crowned straw hat
with a wide black band.

Prices May Go Up,
Not Down, Declares
Labor Commissioner
Washington,' June 26.-XJ. P.) There
is little prospect from a decline in food

creased exports may actually cause an

"Inasmuch as the food budget consti
tutes about 40 per cent of the entire
budget of the average famlry. there can
be scarcely any appreciable lowering in
the level of prices until the cost of food

San 'Francisco, Tune 26.- (U. P.)
Democrats demanding a' wet plank
in the party platform and counting
on the support ot Governor Cox In
their fight for it suffered a disap
pointment todajf wnen they learned
that Cox'tUnd pis chief supporters
are against ay reference to the
liquor question In the platform. .
Former Governjor t James E Campbell
of Ohio, who heads the Ohio, delegation
COX
ATTTUDE
here, today said that Governor Cox
stands for rigid enforcement of the pro
hibition, laws. ,
COX JSITFOBCES LIQUOR LAWS
- "The only., election which Governor
Cox ever'-lost was lost to him because
of his strict:enfojrcementof liquor laws
and Sunday laws in the big cities of
the state," said Campbell. "Cox Is not
"the dupe elthef of the : Anti-Saloon
league or of th- liquor interests. lie
has enforced the4 laws as he found them
and that's what he stands for."
Campbell said that speaking for him
self, he could see ; no reason why the
Democratic platform should say any
thing about either side ' of the prohibi
tion controversy.
"Is that Governor Cox's view also V
Campbell was auked '
"I know that be is not hostile to that
view, was the feply. "i-". "
Others of CoxJs supporters here were
more emphatic fin declaring that the
governor - is definitely' opposed to in
eluding in the (platform any mention
Of the question. j 1 :
In this he Is In .line with the position
of President Wilson, who has sent word
to the Democrats here that he considers
any mention of prohibition in, the plat
form unnecessary. Though the admin
istration forces "plan to have the plat
form Bilent as J between the wets and
drys, they alsoj. intend ' to ' mention, in
reciting the ' accomplishments of -- the
Wilson administration, the veto of the
Volstead act, passed to provide for en
forcement of na$ion-wide prohibition.
IKDIBECT 4PBAL TO WETS
On the hlgtbest authority ; it was
learned that thl indirect appeal to wet
voters will be Included. - The platform
framera can legitimately mention the
Volstead veto, it was pointed out, and
show at the same time that it was a
Republican congress that passed the law
over the president's objections.
The wet andj dry - issue continued to
'absorb most off the attention of dele
gates vtoday, th arrival of William J.

subject. ,

Palmer and McAdoo Likely to Da
Found in deadlock, in Which
Event Cox May Emerge as Nom
inee, Asserts David Lawrence.
By David Lawrence
. (Copjright. 1920)
San Francisco, June 26. Plenty
of ballots will be taken before the
Democratic national convention
chooses Its candidates for president
and vice president. It looks like a
prolonged fight, not, perhaps, . as
long as the tedious struggle at Baltl
tlmore in. 1912, sbut with many of
the very same characteristics and
alignments. , T .
'Cuitwardly, the. Wilson forces, mean
ing thereby a coalition of the Talmef
and McAdoo delegates and a goodly pro.
portion of the Cox delegates, are in con
trol of this convention.' There is a more
or less influential,. but hardly powerful
enough, minority which differs with ths
Wilson administration. '. This minor liy
fluctuates between interest in the can
didacy of Vice President Marshall, For
mer Speaker Champ Clark, Robert 1.
Owen and a pronounced sentiment for
wetness in the platform, no matter who
the candidate may be.
In a class by himself is William Jen
nings Bryan, who can control a big vote
on platform planks on the prohibition
question, but who cannot dictate a nom
ination either for himself or anybody
else. He can veto any candidate whoso
record on the, wet and dry Issue Is In.
consistent with such platform planks ss
may be adopted ; that Is as far as ho
can go ! and, assuming that the plat form
will have been adopted waen the ballot
ing for candidates begins. Bryan's capa
city for fnischlef really ends there.
Now the Wig delegations from New
York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Il
linois are far more Interested in a wet
plank than In candidates, chiefly became
they believe their state tickets can thu
be led to victory. There is. moreover,
considerable atitl-WUson sentiment it
some of those delegations. . The Cox
managers have very shrewdly made a
.bid for this support on the ground that
