RIVAL PLANKS DRAFTED ,&yan and Burleson Draw Up Propos ed Stand for Party to Take. San Francisco, June 27.-Both wets and drys today launched their planks on the Democratic seas of 'alcoholic differences, with a stormy passage promised to the final harbor of the convention floor. For the drys, William J. Bryan made public his proposed plank, a sweeping declaration for enforcement of the Volstead law without increase in be verages alcoholis contents. From the wet camp came alternative planks drafted by Postmaster General Burleson. One declares for "individual liberty" and modification of the Vol stead law to remove its "drastic and unreasonable features" and the alter nate for amendment permitting bever ages "in fact not intoxicating." The planks are to be presented tothe resolutions committee upon its organi zation and regardless of the outcome there it was generally expected that the liquor fight would reach the con vention itself. 4 With both wet and dry factions working hard through the Sabbath, there also was a strong movement to prevent any mention of the liquor ques tion in the platform, a movement backed by many forceful leaders. Bryan's Plank. The Bryan prohibition plank follows: "We heartily congratulate the Dem ocratic party on its splendid leader I- 9_14b Layer view of LEE Cord .

The validity of the eighteenth amendment to the Constitution having been sustained by the Supreme Court, any law enacted under its authority must be strictly enforced.
