These issues will bring about a direct

forces and Mr. Bryan's forces. If Mr.
Bryan rinds upon the resolutions com
mine a majority of men sympathetic
with his views v on ' prohibition, th
League of Nations snd othsr questions,
the chances of a fight- at th outset will
be minimised. - If th administration
forces control and insist on a declara

as brought from Versailles by President
.Wilson, Mr. Bryan may oppose bring
ing the issue into the platform at all,
Of course, if the "wets" attempt to pot
in a plank which runs counter to Mr.
Bryan declared views on prohibition
Mr. Bryan certainly will carry the fight
to ths floor of the convention. In such
an event Mr. Bryan will not be unan
awered ad there are prospects of fire
works which might even eclipse the
display which accompanied Mr. Bryan's
fight at Baltimore which culminated In

;A th bulk of th delegates arrive,"
said Mr. Bryan, "I hav increasing in.
formation that there will be no .Vet'

Ther will b no compromise," Mr.
