Stormy Fight in Convention On Wet Issue Is Predicted
SAN FRANCISCO June 27 wets and large to day aired planks on the Democratic platform over alcohol. William J Bryan published a plank demanding enforcement of the Volstead act without increasing beverage strength, while an alternate urged amendments to permit non intoxicating beverages. Burleson drafted another plank claiming it reflects the majority view, pledging enforcement of temperance laws under the Eighteenth Amendment but criticizing the Volstead act as unreasonable. The convention faces a protracted debate as factions maneuver through the Sabbath and a push to avoid mentioning the issue on the platform.
