They vary from the States rights stsnd

plank.
Mr. CiiiiimTngs was' 'empkatToilayT
deft ing the question to be solved as not
a prohibition issue but merely eapres
sion of the party's nttitude as to the
Volstead enforcement net.
Nn moron Other Issues.
There were numerous other Issues on
whichthereWrottld bet" difference of
opinion beforh the resolutions commit
tee, Mr. Cummfngs thought, including
profiteering, the industrial plank,
touching relations .between capital snd
labor, the Irish question snd others,
but no present prospect ,that they
eould not be harmonised in committee.
A minority report ia to be expected only
oa the so-called "heer plank," It wss
screed, snd that will throw the fight
I into .the eo n ventjon itself......
The Washington enforcement plank
waa drafted in circle in dose touch
with the sdministrstion. It Is under-
stood to

personal liberty sngle and to advocst
ing general terms' a liberalization of
the Volstead act. Specific mention of
wine, beer or any other beverage by
