HAN FRANCISCO, Juno 80. From
six to eight hours of assorted oratory,
interspersed with music shouting and
aisle parading the most spectacular
session of the democratic convention
was the attraction here today. While
nominating speeches are being deliver
ed, -the parly's platform makers are
hard at work-endeavoring to frame in
Butlablejlimguaae, a set of planks upon
which In essence they were practically
agreed. ,

Tho flKht between Bryan and Wilson
for control of tho convention became
more Intense with the report that Sec

llrywn forces are already engaged in
bitter strife over the question of
whether the convention shall endorse
the League of Nations. But even the
leugue was overshadowed In Bryan's
estimation by tho wet-dry issue.
A report that Colby seeks a wet
Plonk is based on an Oppression of
the administration favors for the mod
ification of the Volstead act. It will
be recalled that Wilson vetoed the
wartime prohibition law.

not even considering to comiH-omisc

bolioving they . can beat him in the

Wilson leaders evidently want to
eliminate him from politics and are

attempting to scigo tho party control
