CHICAGO, July 3.—Leaders and spokesmen of several mational groups which are in disagreement with both major political parties’ prohibition planks were gathering today in advance of the convention called lo meet here July 10. Although the convention Is nominally that of the Prohibition party, efforts have been made to combine the strength of all those factions which are dissatisfied by both platforms, includ- ing Farmer-Labor groups. The Jefferson-Lincoln League which James A. Edgerton of Washing- ton is president, was one of those or- ganizations invited to co-operate ‘The names of Willlam G. McAdoo, former Senator Robert L.
