Senator Hill said: IT am perfectly
satisfied. Of course, there are things
that I wanted in and thought should
go in, but in politics it is give and take
and am taking. I should have liked
to have seen an expression on finances
in the platform, but the majority
thought otherwise and neither Mr..
Bryans plank nor mine was adopted.
You will remember that the New York
state convention made no mention on
the financial question and so this plat
form is similar. We did not put in
an income tax plank and we changed,
only slightly the tariff plank"

Despite Senator Hills optimistic:
views of the situation there were many;
expressions of strong disapproval in
the Parker headquarters by delegates.
One said:
Parker cannot stand for such a
platform and if he is nominated he.
will be compelled to deal with the
financial question in his letter Of ac-l

To this statement, Cord Myer, the
chairman of the New York democratic
state committee said: Something
like that will have to be done or we
will not be able to carry New York"
The anti-Parker people were jubi-

one rather unusual letter today,

George Fred Williams had declared
that he would accept Olney.
The Parker people are confident
that they will nominate on the second

the anti-Parker people take excep-

THE RIGHT WAY TO INFLUENCE
III "A BOY.

/ "A DOl
Every young girl in America ought
to make resolve this year to ente,
into some practical effort to discour-
age the boys of her acquaintance from
the cigarette habit, says Ella Wheeler
Wilcox in the Chicago American.
Suppose you, Miss America, begin
the crusade. Talk to your girl friends
about it, and think over the best way
to conduct the campaign.
Avoid the aggressive methods We
do not need Carrie Nations In reform
work. Her principles may be right,
but her course of procedure is unwise.
Arbitration is better than war, re-
mem 5or.
Try arbitration with the boys.
Urge them to give up smoking until
they are twenty-one.
Suggest saving bank fund for the
money spent daily in cigarettes.
Ask the boys to figure up the
monthly cost of the habit, and. little
or much, to bank it and to let it draw
interest until they reach the voting age.
Them if smoking seems desip able
to them, they will have fund to
draw on for the purchase of the best

DO not preach to the boys. Talk
sense instead. Tell them that all
statistics go to prove that the cigarette
habit injuries growing boy physi-
cally, mentally, morally--one or all

Write to the Anti Cigarette League,
and ask for literature on the subject.
Read up and post yourself with facts.
Ask the Young Men S Christian Associ-

the boys.
Do not make them think that you

Many lad loves the idea OF having
young girls regard him as a desperate

Convince the boys instead that you
