Coprrisbtv.1920. by United News.
San Francisco, CaL, June 29. It's my
belief that if you can sell a bill of gooda
before breakfast you're Just that much
ahead of the day. It peed to work pretty
well on the road with Featherbloom pet
ticoats. I don't see why it should'nt ap
ply in covering a national democratic
convention, i Most people are more com
pletely themselves at a. m. than at any
other time during the day. They may
have donned .all their clothes at that
hour, but they ha vent had time 1 to
assume their disguise. And that's the
moment for catching them. I 'claim no
originality for this theory It's Just a
clumsy version of the bird-and-worm
proverb. . .
I woke up at 7 o'clock this morning,
(due to a life-long habit and the noisy
ones whoee t bedroom is Just across the
court from ' mine at the St Francis.)
"Emma McChesney," said I. "here's
your enhance for what they used to call
a scoop. What's the use of being a news
paper correspondent if you can't get an
exclusive story..
MOSTLY 8ILEHT ABOUT IT .
Now. there's just one topic that is be
ing bushed up in the hotel lobbies. They
slide over it- carefully at committee meet
ings. If it serves to pipe a feeble cheep
in any of the state headquarters (Ne
braska excepted; it is choked and hurled
out into the hall, and the door is slammed
after 1C ;
That topic is the wet-or-dry plank.
Everybody in and out of San Francisco
knows that William Jennings Bryan is
the foremost champion of the dry plank
and that he has announced his intention
of nailing it to the platform even if be
has to put on overhalls and do the Job
himself.
But everyone doesn't seem ' to know
that the wettest and most determined
delegate in opposition to the great Ne
braskan is Elizabeth Marbury of New
York, Paris, and the well-known world.
BETH STILL IS BED
She's a delegate-at-large from New
York. She used to be publicity manager!
for the Vernon Castlesremember? She;
used to be a dramatic agent. She's the
concentrated essence of Fifth avenue and
Fifty-ninth street. And' in all San Fran
cisco, the city of contrasts and extremes,
you couldn't find two human beings more
sharply contrasted than Elizabeth Mar
bury, wet ! delegate-at-large from New
York; and William Jennings Bryan, dry
delegate-at-large from Nebraska. .
The rest was simple. . - .
You wouldn't think, would you, that
they'd talk to me? But they did. And
there's where the plot begins. Because
at a. m. Elisabeth Marbury was having
breakfast in bed. And William Jennings
Bryan was having his down in the main
public , dining room along o' Brother
Charley and the rest of the folks from
Llncoln.Nebraska.
BATHES LARGE' WOMAIT
You're met at the door of Elizabeth
Marbury's room at the St. Francis hotel
by a French . maid in black and white,
and with a regular first-act accent. It
is she who answers the telephone and
tidies madame's room I chose Elisa
beth Marbury first because I wanted to
get contrast. I got It. It's hard to ex
plain how any woman could look milit
ant while sitting up in bed in a pale
blue breakfast Jacket and a white lace
cap with a quivering blue satin bow,;
the whole propped up against a nest'
of lingeried pillows such as are not fur
nished by any hotels, 'even the accom-
w i n . f cr . i .t , . ... f

- jnow, jmizaoetn. juamury is nuut on
the general lines of well," " say. Amy
Lowell. And of a photograph of the
last named lady it is always said. "Reading-
from left to right Amy Lowell."
Therefore, In spite of the pale blue bows
and the French maid, and the breakfast
in bed, it was an imposing figure that
sat up 'among the pillows and .burled
defiance (second band) at William Jen
nings Bryant. -:...-.
DECIDEDLY ACCUSES HIM -
Said Elisabeth Marbury (and the blue
satin ribbons of her cap Jxembled like
a sapling before the storm) : ' .t ; ;
T accuse William Jennings Bryan,
his followers and associates of having
utterly failed to enforce -the eighteenth
amendment. I accuse-thextty of having
encouraged liars, hypocrites, profiteers
and law-breakera. I accuse them of be
ing responsible for the . general present
debasing of our moral currency. I ac
cuse them of having made a law which
in . its operation ia only prohibition for
the poor man, while admitting license
for the rich, J accuse them of breed
ing discontent among those who labor,
while fostering contempt of, the law
amongst those who toil not. . Z ac
cuse " .
It had to be stopped .somewhere. "Just
a minute. Miss Marbury. ' Do you mean
you think the Volstead act discriminates
against the poor man? Then why are
you interested? You're an aristocrat,
aren't you?" ' .' -
SAYS POOR ME3T SUPEER
Elizabeth Marbury bounced among the
pillows. "I, an aristocrat t Ha. I'm a
friend of the common people. Nanette,
close that door, will you? The laboring
man is my friend.. Ask the head waiter
at the Palace if he doesn't know me. 1
"My audiences in New York are made
up of the common people. Now don't
say I'm a friend of Elsie De Wolfe's and
Anna Morgan's. What's that got to do
with it?,-I tell you. it's wrong that the
man who digs in the street can't -have
his beer, . while the man with money
can buy what he likes. . in whatever J
quantity he chooses. The poor man is
denied his glass ef beer in his home,
while wine and liquor flow freely within
the houses of the rich.
"I demand that unless the eighteenth
amendment is at once" drastically en
forced this hypocrisy shall cease. I'm
not for the saloon. -No 1 But why
should the rich have privileges .that the
poor cannot enjoy ! Nanette, answer
the telephone. Who? No, tell him I
can't see him now, I'm busy."
SMUGGLERS NEXT - y
Well, new as I am to this newspaper
interviewing business, X knew that a
speech like that has to be interrupted
with an occasional question. The tele
phone gave me my chance. "But don't
you think. Misa Marbury. that this ah
discrimination will cease just as soon
as the rich man's supply of oases, casks
and bottles .gives out?"
"Girl." replied Elizabeth Barbury,
"don't -you know there are 70 miles of
unguarded coast right here in Cali
fornia? (I didn't. I can't even bound
Illinois.) ' Why can't they land all the
lipuor they Want right here along these
miles and miles of shore?" ,
She paused for a reply and I answered
feebly that their boats would be dashed
to pieces against the rocks. Miss Mar
bury said, "Fiddlesticks. There's plenty
of sandy beach to te reached in small
boats." . . - - j

out of Treasure Island, but she was in

no mood to be told so. She handed to
Nanette and Nanette handed to me
a sheaf of hand -written statement. One
glance at it showed that it bristled with
phrases i like "individual rights" and
"the poor aa well as the rich." i i s
I took it and fled, leaving the friend
of the down-trodden laborer reclining ex
hausted among the Madeira embroidered
pillows. . -- -f
Down in room 230 Charlie Bryan.7 of
Lincoln, Nebraska, was doing the Nanet
ting for Brother Bill. The home folks
were all milling- around In the front room
eating , California . cherries and spitting
the seeds sociably and impartially into
the- Wastebasket, the nearest straw' hat
or the vase of California Oowere. - -The
women : at . the Nebraska headquarters
were wearing the wrong kind of blouse.
And the hands of the men were brown,
and" the tan of their faces was the brown
that , comes , from work in the . fields
during sun and rain. -BBYA2TS

But. " "come in," says .Brother Charley.
"He's talking to somebody Just now, but
he'll see you in a minute. Oh land. yes.
He's been up hours. Six o'clock every
morning."
- The door of the adjoining room opened.
In I whisked. There were 20 people be
hind me,; waiting their turn. There
probably -had been a hundred ahead.
"I'm going- to ask you some questions
about your dry plank." . -
"That's all right," said William Jen-
nlgs Bryan, and beamed genially 0 me.
Wet or dry, you can't deny there's some
thing warm and friendly about that Lin
coln, Nebraska, smile.
, 'TJo you know Elizabeth Marbury 7"
BR YAK COHFLDEST
The smile and the genial look vanished
simultaneously. "I don't know the lady.
I don't want, to know; her." : J -
"How important do, you think the dry
plank is in this convention platform?''
"I ? think it is so important mat it
must be included in the platform. . It
will be included." - - ' -
"But excuse my mentioning- her again
but Elizabeth Marbury says that a law
unenforced is no law at all. '
The Commoner folded his hands across
his waistcoat. . The smile returned. "X
was in Detroit a few. weeks ago.? X was
Informed that one thousand automobiles
had been stolen in the last year. But
that's no reason for abolishing- the law
against stealing automobiles. ,
: "No, but you could let everybody have
an automobile and then they wouldn't
want ." But that was no argument for
an "Interviewer f to present to a -distinguished
; statesman, of . course. X
glanced at the roomful of cherry-eaters
Just' behind me. Brother Charlie was
using all his Lincoln, Nebraska, tact to
keep from saying, "This way out." And
it wasn't until I found myself Irrevocably
in the corrider that Z remembered that
the Great Commoner hadn't once men
tioned the common people with which
Miss Marbury, among her pillows, had
been so chummy.

Y0U1L GET BIT,
IV. J. BRYAtJ TOLD
BY BURLESON
1 By Fred S. Fterguson . , ..
. (CniUd Ken 8taff Corrrapandwt)' :
San Francisco; CaL, June 29. It
was In a room - In the St.. Francis
hoteL Time Monday. Present were
William Jennings Bryan, Postmaster
General' Burleson and; one or two
others. T Burleson had . just ' been
creditBd with a statement favoring
light wines and beers. Bryan; the
grim old fighter, opened up a dis
cussion of the subject nearest his
heart the adoption of his strong
"dry"' plank in the Democratic plat
form. r ' -
"I have -Just been reading my Bible."
said Bryan, "as X read it, more and
more X V am; convinced of , the necessity
of "our-party taking this stand against
alcofaoL -DUE
TO GET Brr
"I feel as Daniel must have felt as
he entered the den of Hons. I know
that in stepping- into the convention with
this fight I will be entering the lion's
den."
"Yes," Burleson commented slowly,
"and you're going; to get- hell bit out of
you." v.,,,, .te- -
And this sums up the "wet" and "dry"
when the resolutions . committee . con
vened to draw the platform upon which
Democracy's candidate for the presi
dency will stand in the campaign against
Senator Harding. . : ' i
COMPROMISE LIKELY (
Bryan stands again in his famous role
of idealist . and crusader, . His reference
to; how he .is .drawing inspiration,' for
his fight' by reading his Bible, pictures
in a sentence the mental attitude of the
famous leader and the religious fervor
which urges, him on with almost fanati
cal seal. I
All Indications are that Bryan will be
beaten, in the .committee. Possibly a
compromise will be found that wllk sat
isfy the Nebraskan, but he will not get
his bone dry pianav i '
But . neither wilt there be a 'wet"
plank. Insofar as the really wet "wets"
are concerned they are beaten. There
will, be no declaration in the platform
for light wines and beera Soundings
ha vs.. established that a majority, of the
forces do not want to make fhe question
an Issue. In view of the 'fact that the
president vetoed the Volstead act; but
that - nevertheless It ' Is now an estab
lished law. the leaders think it best to
say nothing.
FIGHT DUE OBT FLOOR
This might be interpreted as ai vic
tory ! for the "drys." but for the i fact
that i the . idea had the support from
some; of the wet sources from - the
very , start The outlook ia correctly
for a compromise, from the resolutions
committee.. Then may come Bryan's
appeal to the convention bis entrance
into the "den of lions" and the I best
guess is that Burleson's prediction, 'that
the lions will "bite hell out of him,"
will be realized.
It is pointed out by leaders that should
thia convention adopt a plank favoring
light wines and beers, or take any stand
on the degree ' to which the Volstead
act should be enforced, it would simply
turn all future national conventions and
campaigns ": into liquor fights. Such a
situation 'was compared to elections of
municipal Judges, as they have been
conducted In the past, when at prac
tically every election the sole issue was
that of Issuance of 'liquor licenses, i
Those who are interested in following
the president's idea of making t -League
of Nations the campaign 1
are also opposed 'to taking any epec',:
stand on the liquor question. This, t:.
declare, would make the "solemn refer
endum on the league, requested by t
president,", impossible.
.Whatever doubt may have existed as
to whether President Wilaon would, ob
tain the sort of League of Nations
plank he desires was wiped out Mon
day on the floor of the convention. In
addition to the -Wilson demonstration,
the Wilson principles as enunciated by
Homer Cemmings - brought round after
round of applause. The League of Na
tlona on the face -of returns ss they
stood Monday night, may be crossed cl
the list of contested issues.
TO CITE LEAGUE ARTICLE
In addition-to the straight league
fight, . there is a strong likelihood that
it will be linked up further in the plat
form in dealing with the Irish question.
To meet the demand for an Irish plank,
administration sources are proposing
that the platform cite Article XI of the
League of Nations as Ireland's hops,
under which the United States will have
the friendly right to plead the cause cf
oppressed nation.
