I 1 THINK BURLESON EXPRESSED VIEW OF PRESIDENT Demand for Repeal of "Dra$: 1 tic" Provisions of Volstead Act Regarded Intimation Of Administration's Stand. ' San Francisco, June 22. Post master General Burleson's state ment today at San Antonio regard ing democratic platform issues drew particular attention among party leaders here for the national con vention next week because of its frank declaration for modification of the Volstead prohibition enforce ment act. - -- Mr. Burleson's demand for repeal of "drastic" provisions of. the act expressed in more direct fashion", views which some of the' party lead ers, now here, previously had yoiceu privately. Comiiis: from a member of President Wilson's cabinet, the statement was regarded as a possi ble intimation of the administration's attitude on the prohibition issue be fore the convention. Senator Glass of Virginia, who is due here tomorrow, is understood to have been entrusted with a for mal expression of President Wil son's views as to the platform. On ether occasions, however, the post master general had been the direct spokesman of the president on im portant issues and democrats here were inclined to take his expression as to the prohibition plank as more than a statement of his own views Unanimity of Opinion. The preliminary convention dis cussion in progress here, while wholly informal in character, has shown a striking unanimity of onin ion on two points thus far. The first of these is that the platform struggle will be the real fipht of the convention ; the second that the1' pro hibition plank will be fhe chief issue in that fight, outrivaling the league ,of nations declaration in interest among delegates. On the league issue W. J. Bryan already is standing directly opposed to President Wilson's views as to the party attitude. That dates back to the. Jackson day dinner, when .Mr. Wilson urged that the demo crats enter the campaign on the is sue of the ratification of the league covenant without material reserva tion. The former secretary of state stood just as strongly for acceptance of the republican senate reservations ADVERTISEMENT EVER-SOOTHING POSLAM HEALS BROKEN-OUT SKIN Let Poslam act tjr you : as a sooth , int. concentrated, healing-, balm., to cover right over that itching skin trouble and subdue it, taking out the fire and sore ness, and then, as applications are repeat ed, causing the disorder to grow less and less each day.

President de La Hu cria was governor of Sonora, the first Mexican, state to rebel against the Carranza regime, ranza regime. as a basis' for ratification and in order to keep the league covenant out of the campaign. If Mr. Burleson's statement is to be accepted as representing the pres ident's views on prohibition, dele gates said, it now was evident that Bryan and the administration forces were to clash also over that plank in the party platform. Mr. Bryan's views have been known to be rigidly against any weakening of the pfo hibtion laws. - Third Point of Issue. There is also, it was said, a third point on which the president and his former secretary of state might lock horns at the convention. It was re called that when the president asked congress for authority to accept a mandate over Armenia under the league of nations, Mr. Bryan prompt ly issued a statement in flat opposi tion to such a program. It has bn regarded as possible that the .presi dent might seek to have 'the .-convention endorse .his course as to Armenia and if so, it was said, the Nebraska leader could be expected to exert his influence against such action. v Pending arrival of Senator Glass, Mr. Burleson and Mr. Bryan, all of whom will reach the convention city during the week, the few party lead ers and delegates already on the groud have been exchanging orily gossipy comment and expressions of personal opinion on issues to come' up. There have been no con. fcrences as yet and there is still little activity among workers for va rious, candidates for the presidential nomination to distract attention from the platform outlook. 1 Greeters' Association to Spend Day in Omaha Park Omaha hotel men . will be hosts today to visiting members of the GreeteTs' association, wliio are re turning to the hftmes frpm'trieir na tional . convention; ".Hotel' ' clerks from -.other qities who wjll stop off in Omaha' will be entertained dur ing the afternoon at Krug park.

This means a tight against the administration forces, under the direct, even if long dis tance, leadership of President Wil son himself, who has repeatedly in sisted upon the treaty and league being made the paramount issue of the campaign. v It means also that the senator from Oklahoma will oppose the at tempt of Governor Edward I.

Bryan, now on his way here, admittedly bent upon annihi lating the "wets" and blocking, if possible, the Wilsonian plan of mak ing the league the chief issue of this year's presidential .contest.

Chicago TrlbuxF-Omuha Bee Leaerd Wire. Pueblo, Colo., June 22. Illinois was caught in a jam this morning at Colorado Springs between the Cox and McAdoo booms. Sharp. sure and swift i diplomacy on the part of George E. Brennan and other Illinois leaders prevented a Collision. When the Brennan special with the Illinois delegation on board pulled into Colorado Springs at 7:30 this morning, five minutes ahead of scheduled time. 400 Ohio -democrats were ou the station plat form, whooping it up for Governor Cox. They had a red-coated band and there were big doings. Sena tor Pomerene was the chief of the Ohioans. He rushed to the car where ' the Illinois -leaders have their headquarters, "You are with us? Senator Pomerene said. "Aren't you?' ' We may have a candidate of our owrii'.' George Brennan answered. 'At. the. moment the Alabama spe cial train pulled in with 200 demo crats on board, all' decorated with McAdoo badges and banners. Gov ernor Kilby of Alabama and -Na tional Committeeman W. T. San ders at once sought the Illinois cars. For McAdoo to End. "We don't believe that McAdoo has quit," was their suezestion. We are for him to a finish. ..No man is big enough to take himself out of the presidential contest. Alabama will place him in nomina tion when the roll call of the states starts." , All of this was interesting enough to the Illinois democrats whose irst choice, it is now agreed, will e Attorney Oeneral Palmer, but it was not convincing, so that noth ing happened" except some judicious packing and filling bv Brennan.

Such a promise, expressed or im plied, has not been given by respon sible Illinois leadership and a set of circumstances may arise, so the big fellows say, whereby Illinois would resume the state's responsibility of 1912 at Baltimore and put through the president for another term. The Illinois spokesmen feel, as they express it, that with their 58 unpledged votes and their position in the roll call, the state s delegation will hold the most strategic point on the line at Frisco and they will play the game on that basis of assump tion. That Illinois will be courted by every presidential possibility is fully evidenced by the morning's proceedings at Colorado Springs. Aside fm Illinois, Ohio and Ala bama, parties of delegates from more than 20 states were swarming through the Garden of the Gods and up Pike's Peak. Mayor Thomas of the Springs, who was at the head of a large reception committee at the trains, estimated that more than an actual quorum of the Frisco dele gates were in Colorado Springs be tween yesterday morning and today noon, when the coast-bound trains departed over the Denver & Rio Grande in six sections. Police Led Merry Chase in Attempt to Arrest Woman Following an exciting chase which led from one window to another, ' Mrs. Maggie Gallip, 2215 Lathrop street, was arrested by Po lice Officer M. L. Jensen last night. Jensen went to the Mrs. Gallio's home with a warrant for her arrest, obtained by Camilla Elliot, a neigh bor, who charged that Mrs. Gallip's chickens were annoying her. Mrs. Gallip refused to go to th6 station, according to the police. She re moved some of her clothes, declar ing that the police could not take her away in that condition, they say, and also tried to escape out of the win dows of the house. She was charged with resisting an officer and per mitting chickens to run at large. ' Havo Root Press.
