SEEING ABOUT RATES.
Chairman Jones Is Investigating K.
G. Hotel Charges.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 15.-The sub
committee of the Democratic national
committee, appointed to deal with the
arrangements for the national cOnVen-
ton in July, met here today. The COM
m-ttee has come to Kansas City to
make final arrangements for the gath
ering and to hear reports from the local
committee and from Col. John L. Mar
tin, sergeant at arms. The two most
important questions to be considered
will be the alleged extOrtionate rates
charged by hotel man and the ability
of the contractors to finish convention
hall sufficiently to accommodate the
convention.
The meeting was to have been called
to order at IL o'clock but owing to the
hardness of Ex-Governor William ].
Stone, vice chairman of the national
committee, who came up from jefferson
City, where he attended the delegate
convention yesterday, the committee
men did not get down to work much be-
fore noon.
James K. Jones, chairman of the ma
tiOnal committee, presided. Those pres
ent were J. G. Johnson of Kansas, vice
chairman of the executive committee :;
c. A. Walsh of Iowa, secretary of the
national committee; AIessrs. D. J. Cam
pau of Michigan, Adair Wilson of Colo
RADIO William J. Stone of Missouri, and
John I. Martin.
Chairman Jones announced to the AS
ISOLATED Press that he would during the
day issue a statement to the country
on the findings of the committee.

with the threats of the Democrats has
had the result of stirring up the poll
tlcianS on both sides of the party line to
such an extent that the job which they
desire to finish stands in imminent dan

Mr.. Breidenthal is in sympathy with
the Democrats. He believes that the
democrats should have what the Pop

and is quoted as suggesting that the sill

comedies the nomination of Webb Nc

insists that the Democratic party has

BRADY AND HENLEY.
They Are Having an Interesting Con-
test For State Senator.

There is an interesting contest on in
Douglas county between J. L. Brady
and A Henley for the Republican NOM
ination for senator in the district COM
posed of Jefferson and Douglas coun-
ties.
When Senator c. F. Johnson resigned
to accept the appointment as judge of
the Jackson Jefferson county district a
special election was held to fill the
vacancy in the office of senator Mr..
Henley was the successful candidate.
He served Mr.. Johnson's unexpired
term.
1t is now Douglas county's turn to
name the senator and Mr. Henley and
Mr.. Brady will fight it out for the nom
nation.
Mr.. Henley has been in the lower
house for several years, being chair
man of the house ways and means COM
mittee in the last session. He seeks a
promotion. Mr.. Brady has been pub
fishing the Lawrence World, a Repub-
lican paper, for several years, and has
never before sought an office. He is a
man much younger than Mr.. Henley.
The fight is not a personal one, both
men being the best of friends. Brady is
making an antitrust campaign.

WOMAN DELEGATE.
Mrs. Cohen Will Attend Democratic
Convention From Utah.

Salt Lake City, Utah, June 15.@One
of the most remarkable persons at the
Democratic national convention in
Kansas City will be Mrs. Elizab beth NJ.
Cohen, the first woman ever elected
delegate to a great national convention.
Asked by a correspondent to give her
opinion as to the feasibility of having
women follow national politics as a
career, her reply, given without hesita-
ton, was:
My acceptance of the nomination
alternate to the Kansas City conven-
tion-prCclaims the fact that I am an
equal suffragist and that carries with
II the peilet that women are entitled
to equal representation in all conven-
tlons, city, county and state.
That they are capable of perform
ing effective political work has been
demonstrated here in Utah. Further
comment is useless, for from present
appearances the day is not far distant
when women will be given representa-
ton in the congress of the United
States.
But that does not alter the fact that
there are today American women who
are not only equal but superior to some
OF the men We send to congress-
Mrs Cohen is the wife of Joseph NJ.
Cohen. She is president of the Wo-
mans Democratic club Of this city. The
Democratic state convention of Utah
which elected her instructed all its
delegates to vote for William J. Bryan
for president.
Mrs. Cohen's political views may be
CLEANED from the Utah convention plat
form, which she iDdorsed 1t declares
that customs duties on Porto Rican
products are unconstitutional, reaffirms
the Monroe doctrine, denounces trusts
and favors the popular election OF
United States senators.
1t demands the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold ard silver at the
