No Woman Suffrage Plank.

There were some members of the SUD-

IN the platform an Endorsement of woman
suffrage. but the sentiment was not strong
enough TO warrant such d plank at this
time.

This last admission on Mr.. Barnes's part
caused general laugh and called forth
his remark about the human mind Mr..
Barnes thought that direct primaries

This direct nomination victory for the
Progressives was the most interesting phase
of the contest between the Progressives and
the reactionaries over the platform. All
along the line the Progressives won. The
party. in the platform adopted, took its
stand with the foremost of the Progress
sives.
Features Of the Platform
The platform included, among its princi-
pal features:
A drastic prOnouncement against graft
in legislative and official places and prom

and TO throw out of the party unhesitating-
ly any Republican corruptionlst
A direct nominations plank pledging the
party through it's representatives in the
Legislature TO carry out the oft-repeated
recommendations of Governor Hughes.
A strong and enthusiastic Endorsement Of
President Taft and his administration,

works.
a strong appreciation OF the part the man
who works with his hands plays in the
scheme of things economicNand a promise

any state in the country-and other labor
laws.

tration in detail and word of commenda-
ton regarding his appointment TO the
United States Supreme Court, placing on
record the party's position regarding the
integrity Of the courts.
The fight in the committee which was
appointed to draft the platform was
bitter controversy. II lasted from u:aO last
night until nearly o'clock this morning
Mr. Barnes and Mr.. Wadsworth, OF the
''old guard" throughout opposed the adop-
ton Of any measure relating to direct
nominations. They drew off by themselves
and drafted minority report which was
submitted to the subcommittee and
promptly rejected by that body Later
their minority report was rejected by the
full committee in short order.
The opposition Of the old guard e!e-
ment TO the rest Of the platform was not
very much in evidence except that MI

presented. The Barnes followers made no

it was baptized and was made a
member Of the Church. This you did
in the sight OF God and in the pres
ence of His minister.
Have you faithfully tried to do your
duty as sponsor?
If the child has wandered, or been
led away from the Church, did you
try, or are you trying, to win it back
Does IT. go to the Catholic schooll
If not, why not?
Has it learned the catechism and
other things which it ought to know
and which you are charged to See
that it should be taught?
If its parents have been neglectful
of their duties, have you more earnestly
tried to perform the sponsorial duties
that rest upon you?
If the child is old enough, does IT
know that it is your .God-child? Have
you claimed it as such?
AS your position as sponsor is not
an idle one, an empty honor, but OF
most serious Importance. it will be well
for you togive the above question you.
