Already the oversharinwlnv lssti In reconvention conferences, the quea- iun 01 a piauorm declaration against no leecnir pone aay law almost iook the whole, stage for itself today as the gathering delegates heard Of Postmaster-General Burleson's announcement for a modification of the Volstead act. By many accustomed ' to regard the postmaster-general as a political spokesman for the White House, the development waa accepted as a warning of which way the wind of administra tion Influence would blow. Others among the party leaders' refused to take that view, but no one here assumed to know with certainty how far the sen timents of President Wilson might be III accord with those of Mr. Burleson, The latter, who announced hia stand yesterday at San Antonio, Tex., will not reach Kan Francisco until late in the week. , . What every one here does know, how ever, la that both sides of the contro versy are cementing their lines and bringing their heaviest artillery for a tti.lsh fight. After many conferences In an effort to lay a basis mr harmony, Homer ' 8. Cummings, the national chairman, said today It seemed a "fair bet" that the question would be taken to the convention floor for a settlement regardless of what decision was made In the platform committee. 1 Closely Intertwined with the prohibi tion question is the problem of select ing a nominee In accord with the plat form aa finally agreed on, and among many of the practical politicians there is a feeling that tho two decisions must be settled virtually at one stroke. So the pleas of candidates' managers are falling on deaf ears for the present while the leaders get their bearings on the more immediate question of a bone dry or a beer platform. - League of Nations. The league of nations disagreement, along with several other disputed plat form issues, has followed the question of candidates into temporary eclipse.

The demo cratic national convention at San Fran cisco will without doubt adopt a plat form Indorsing the federal amendment for woman suffrage. This will be In line with the policy 'of the party as announced by' President Wilson and Indorsed by every, leading democrat in the United States, and 'I hve It will call the attention of American women to the fact that no man in the White House ever supported woman suffrage except President Wilson.

The women of America sent their sons Into the war In the belief that this war would bring a promise of peace to our troubled world. The democratic parly under the leadership of a democratic president has formulated a treaty In cluding a league of nation, and' the democratic convention at San Francisco will adopt aa Its principal plank a de mand for a treaty, including a provl sion for such leasue.
