This year, however, tnoi' street fakirs have been conspicuousi by their absence. This was explained )by the fact that the Republican na-jlionnl committee several months ago;bought up virtually the entire supplyof celluloid leaving none of the fnatcrial available for the manufacture Iof buttons except those ordered by!tho committee.

June 26 "Wets"and "drys" today continued their preconvention battle but left the outcome still in doubt.William J. Bryan formally openedhis fight for a prohibition platformplank. After his election by tho Nebraska delegation to the resolutionscommitleo he made a long and vigorous address at a luncheon of the Commonwealth club on prohibition andother platform questions. He declared the Democratic party must be"saved from the liquor interests." ;mdpredlctod utter rout for tho "wets."Democratic leaders favoring modification of the Volstead law confinedtheir efforts to qulot work amongstole delegations. Several claimedlarge accessions to a wet or at leastdamp declaration. Others leaders,however, declared tho platform wouldbo silent on tho prohibition questionand wero working toward that end.No Compromise, Says Bryan.Mr. Bryan asserts that thero would ibe no compromise on the prohibitionquestion. He said that while an openfight might be avoided ho would forcea record vote, both of stales and individual delegaT.es. if the liquor question wero brought tip In tho convention. It is the paramount Issue before;the Democrats, Mr. Bryan said, declar-jing his special purpose hero was to!have a "dry" plank incorporated inthe platform an essential to party1victory in November, lie said. 1The "wets" were encouraged by re-1ports from southorn delegations thathopes of the prohibitionists for a"solid south" foi a prohibition decla-iration wore unfounded. Thoy declarethat the unit rule could not be invoked on all southern delegations andthat many of the southerners were iready to vote against the prohibition-!ists. ' IFight for Dry Plank. jMr. Bryan told hla audionce todaythat ho sought his place on the resolu-'tions committee especially to fight for'a "dry" plank."I'm not sure that we're going tojhavo any fight," Mr. Bryan continued,"but on the wet question, which prob-;ably will como before the convention,!every man will have the chance to go,on record. We're going to havo a roll- Icall and I want every delegation polled Iso If any Democrat wants to turn thoparty over to tho liquor Interests his Ifolks at homo will know It."Mr. Bryan said he would welcome aminority report from tho resolutionscommitteo if noccssary. to bring thelssuo squarely before tho convention.Country Will Know."When wo'ro through," he continued, "the country will know wholhcrthe Democratic party will bo tho chattel properly of the brewers or whotherthey'll be out of business never toralso their black flag again.

June 2C As thorival forces at the Democratic riation-al convention movo inWpositlon forthe opening Monday there fs apparentI no more definite alignment of strengthI for various candidates than there hasl been since the delegates began to ps-semble. William Jennings Bryanepitomized tho situation today in lan-guago with which most observersseemed to agree."There will be a lob of tickets put WHup and put down before this conven-tlon nominates one," he said. H. The closing hours of-thc-prc-convon-jtlon period 'aro much the same asI characterized the last minute proceed-! ings of tho cRpublican convention atChicago. Til ore is a marked similarityin many respects. HI Ten Candidates Out. IHI Seven hundred and- fifty-six of the' 1092 delegates are uninstructed. Their IH' personal preferences cannot be asscm-bled in composite review. There are 'Mj ten candidates, avowed, unwilling orI receptive. It seems certain that someballoting on tho convention floor will jHj be necessary to disclose the lines of IHi strength and' weakness, clear the llHground of favorite sons and compll- llmontary votes, and narrow the situa-tlon down to the real contenders outIn the open. HNo Democratic candidate comes to HSan Francisco with any such showing Hof pledgod strength as was broughtto Chicago by Wood. Lowdcn or John- Hson. But, as at Chicago, the sltua- IHtion at the opening revolves about a IHrivalry on issues rather than for tho Hmoment on candidates. HHow much. Influence William Jj Bryan will have on the making of theparty's platform and its choice of a IHI candidate will be shown soon after tho Hopening session of the convention Mon- HTho first evidence of horr much of Ha force Mr. Bryan will bo will conn lfIn the makeup of the resolutions commlttee. which will draft the platformand in tho choice of tho permanentorganization of tho convention.Brynn-WlLson Opposition. IHj These issues bring about a direct jHcontest between the administrationforces and Mr. Bryan's forces. If M H' Bryan finds upon the resolutions com-mlttee a majority of men sympathetic IHwith his views on prohibition.- the IHI league of nations and other questions,the chances of a fight at the outsetI will be minimized. If the admlnls- IH' tration men control and insist on aI declaration in support of tho league HI covenant as brought from Versaillesby President Wilson. Mr. Bryan mayoppose brlngintr the issue into the pla- IHI form at all. Of course, If the "wet 3" Hattempt to put in a plank which mns; counter to Mr Bryan's declared viewson prohibition, Mr. Bryan ccrtninl, will carry the fight to the floor ofthe convention. In such an event Mr HBryan will not be unanswered nnd flthere are prospects of fireworks, whichmight even .llpse the display which IHaccompanied Mr. Bryan's fight a'i Baltimore which culminated in the flnomination of Woodrow Wilson.Little Action Monday.
