zero hour approaches signs multiply
that administration leaders are going
to have a real fight on, or several of
them, in their effort to retain control
of the Democratic national convention.
So far Bryan has been successful in
masking his operations, ostensibly his
main objective is the wet or dry issue,

greatly concerned. Regarding the
League of Nations, which the president
considers the vital question, Bryan is
carefully concealing his hand.

Trying to Head Off McAdoo
By United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, June 26. An ef
fort was on foot today to form a coali
tion between Talmer and Cox forces
with the view to preventing the nomin
ation of McAdoo. Emissaries from
Palmer headquarters called on E. H.
Moore, manager for Cox, and sounded
out the Cox supporters, asking how
they would view an alliance and stating
that their inquiries might be regarded
as preliminary to later negotiations.
Cox workers replied to the overtures
that they regarded Palmer highly but
did not think he could be elected presi
dent if nominated. They intimated
that -as a vice presidential possibility
he might bear considering. There the
matter rests, for the time being.
Judge Taber this morning made an
order instructing the sheriffs office to
publicly destroy the liquor captured
last week when the state police made
a raid on the place conducted by Joe
Fratini, when all sorts of I ooze was
found, including a barrel of wine,
many bottles of wine, a large assort
ment of gin, some of it the very best
brands known in pre-dry times, some
whiskey and a lot of moonshine and
jackass brandy, enough to jolly up a
party of considerable size.
The law provides that all liquor cap
tured must be destroyed in public and
the order of the court is the closing in
cident in this spectacular raid. Free
