PROHIOITiON WILL term isx Gathering as Time Draws Near For the Clans To Gather QUESTION OVERSHADOWS ALL OTHER' ISSUES NOW risibility: That Administration Will Take Stand Advocating Beer Plank ' B AocUted - Press) bain KANCISCO, June 23. KumDiings or democratic discord over the prohibition issue became hourly rcore ominous today as delegates and party chiefs arrived -i in increasing s u moers ior tne national convention. nope mai. me gathering , storm might spend itself behind the closed coors or tne platform committee vir tually was abandoned by the lead ers, and they prepared . to face an outbreak of disastrous debate on' the oor of the convention itself. Such a development, it was agreed everywhere, would .hold many drama tic possibilities, including further complication of the, uncertain out look as to the presidential nominee. Already the overshadowing issue in pre-convention conferences,, the r. : jestion of a platform declaration i alnst the present "bone dry" law, t loiost took the whole stage for itself today as the delegates heard of Post master General Burleson's announce ment for a modification of the Vol stead Act. By many accustomed to regard the Postmaster General as a political spokesman for, the white house, the development was accept ed as a warning as to which way the wind of administration influence would blow. ' '-"", Burleson Takes Stand. , . Others among the party leaders re fused to take that view, hut no one would assume to know with any de gree of certainty how far the senti ment cf the president might be in ac cord with those of Mr. Burleson. The. letter which announced his stand was written at San Antonio, Texas,' and will not reach San Fran-1 t:co until late in the week. What everyone does know, how ever, is that both sides of the con troversy are strengthening their lines sad bringing up their heaviest artil-; 1 ry for the final fight. After many f - " -"ices in an effort 'to lay the ir harmony, HomervS. Cum-' national chairman, said' today 1 t "it seemed a fair .bet" that the. i would, be lateen to. tne con a i floor for a settlement regard c f what decision was made in - t form committee. L. :y entwined with the prohibi t i rucstlon is the problem of se-l--f.:s a nominee in accord with the llitloro as finally agreed upon, and taoig many of the practical politi cians there is a feeling that the two decisions must be settled virtually at one stroke. -So the pleas of candi date's managers -are falling oh deaf ears for the question of a bone dry or a beer platform. , , , Prohibition Fight. Th 1 pa ft of nations disagreement along . with several ; other ' . impor tant platform issues, . has follow ed the question of candidates into a temporary eclipse. Among most of the leaders, it Is agreed that what ever trouble develops over the treaty will be only a drop in the bucket compared to the prohibition fight. , : Leaders of the bone dry forces were confident today they would com mand a good majority in the. platform committee, where each state has only one member and could keep Out of committee report any declaration for a' change in the present law.'

Corporation Commission Will Be Kept Busy for Next Twelve Months (By MAX, D. ABERNETHY) RALEIGH, June 23. Petitions from public utilities in North Caro lina asking for permission to increase their rates- are expected to. consume a considerable part of the time ofthe state corporation commission during the next twelve months. Many Requests Filed , Already requests have been filed with the commission from the Dur ham Telephone : company and - the Durham Traction company, the Pied mont Telephone and Telegraphi com pany; of "Gastcfnlai which' operates In the western part of- the state, the Fayettevirter Gas company: 'and the Fayette vllle Telephone company, and the telephone company at Tarborp. Others will in all probabilit ybe filed at an early date. It is the opinion of those well posted on the situation that virtually all of the telephone and gas companies in the state will send in their ' petitions requesting that an increase in rates he allowed within the next six months. An indication of this Is seen in the publicity campaign now being waged by the North Carolina Gas associa tion through the daily newspapers, in which is pointed out the Increased cost of operation' now as compared with 1914. All of the gas companies in the state are affiliated with the as soclatlon, and an effort is being made to convince the public that the in crease . they are asking for is Justi fiable. ' -:-Xi- . For the past three months the cor poration commission has been trying to obtain the services of a gas expert from the bureau of standards, at Washington, to come to North Caro Una and investigate the claims of the petitioning companies. And while the services of the expert have been promised at this time he has not taken up the' work. Increase of Operation Members of the commission recog nize the increased cost of material. production and output, but at the same time they do not Intend to grant an increase.wlthout fully going into the claims as set forth in every case.- This has been the policy pur sued by the commission.' Where the difficulty has arisen is in the faet that that the companies asking for an in crease in rates are opposed by-the cities on the ground that better ser vice must be guaranteed. If this is done the representatives of the pub lic declare that their objection to an increase will be withdrawn. But on the other hand the companies allege that better service cannot be guaran teed until additional revenue is avail able so that Improvements can be made. The companies represent that their earnings on the present rates are not sufficient to justify improve ments, and it is the services of an expert that is needed by the corpora tion commission to investigate the various claims with the view of de termining whether the service can be bettered by improvements which could be made without disrupting the corporations.

It may, be stated o,t jood authority, however, that ha w"l not under any circumstances be per mitted to take his seat. That Ser a - tor Reed will not accept in good spir-. it the certain decision by the national committee, which will undoubted1 be confirmed by, the convention co; mittee on credentials, disowning hii as a delegate, is taken for gran t a by the Democratic leaders already c i the scene, who are preparing to' eiv? the senator the fight of his life and - thus provide an auspicious start for ' the party gathering. ' . :': ; . "' . . ! Missouri Democrats Protest ";' . "Homer S. Cummings, 'chairman of the Democratic national committees . said this afternoon that' he had re : ceived several letters end telegrams . from Missouri Democrats protesting against' the seating of Reed in the convention or giving him .a 'voice a t any stage of its deliberations. . Curi- ., mings Bald that in his opinion the t ;v ttttrde of Democrats in Reed's staia, ' " where he, was better known than aay where v 'else,' was indicative,' in - a ;r broad sense, of ,how he was regarded ' by democrats throughout .the Qoun- try.. v : .-. i-X '- ; - :, ' ' ' v.The term "assistant republican" V has been applied to Senator Reed not '". infrequently, ; as , a', result -., of his ' course In the senate : regarding .'not " only the peace treaty, but also, "much, legislation arising out of the war. Al- most invariably he made .common' ;;. cause with the opponents of. WRson an dthe. administration forces. V. . -' Although Reed has been, twice .' chosen a delegate by the democrats of the fifth districtVhe will hot come to the, convention equipped with . necessary credentials from the state . , convention. When the democrats of the district re-elected Reed and hU . fellow delegates, they notified . the state committee, which had received , authority to act in the matter from ' the . state convention, and that hody V again rejected Reed and certified his '. ' alternate in his place His alternate, " .' who is known as a 'Reed man, but'Ja regarded as less objectionable : to .Missouri democrats than the senator,:'' will therefore .carry credentials en- titling him to occupy the seat. Reed has not yet filed notice of a :t contest with the national committee which will meet, here, Friday to d cide on such matters, but is expected -to do so. "i !. 'J - -- v ' : y Chances for an Explosion ' The decision of the. national com-, mittee is regarded as a .foregone con clusion, and it is assumed as certain . by leaders that the committee, on credentials will back up the national committee in any action that It takes.. , . That should end. the matter, In the opinion of most of the leaders, , for Reed would thus be barred from get ting his case before the convention unless there should be a minority re- : port from the. credentials committee ; or he could . find soma; delegate to make a fight for him. t Chairman Cummings expressed the opinion to day, that any attempt, by Reed's at- . ternate to give the senator' his proxy would fail, there. being no precedent in a democratic convention for such action. . . . -., ': J-s-.:', -- A minority report from the torn- . mittee on credentials, however, might prove the spark that would preclpl- tate an outburst of the anti-administration element in the convention. The possibility that the Irish ques tion may be dragged into any contest over Reed's seat and give bitterness . to the debate Is .one of the things that figure in the calculations of the leaders. Democratic organizations in large cities, such as Tammany in New York, the Sullivan forces in Chicago and the organization ;Tn Boston, contain a large Irish element that will be strongly represented In next week's convention and make for uncertainty, not, perhaps, as to the outcome, but as to the degree of bit terness the discussion may assume.', i' Where Does Bryan Stand Where W. J. Bryan would stand ' in a contest of that sort is another ' question that is occupying the. lead ers.
