iowa DEMOCRATS
IGNORE SUFFRAGE
Anticipated Fight on Liquor
Question Fails to Material
ize-Reforms Indorsed.

Council Bluffs, Iowa, July 24.-The
possibility the democratic party in
Iowa might be divided, was ignored by
the state convention eAsralast- evening.
The platform adopted does not men
ton it Woman suffrage also was re-
jected.
The only reference to it is the state
ment that the initiative and referen-
dunn, which the party indorses, should
settle it.
Other planks in the platform indorse
vocational schools, teachers pensions,
anti-contract labor laws, law prohibit
ing the employment of women for
more than ten hours a day, and gov
eminent control of the telephone and
telegraph, looking toward public own
ership.
The action of the democrats in turn
ing down the prohibitionists and wom-
an suffragists followed a two hours
battle in the resolutions committee.
Committees of women and temperance
people presented their causes without
effect.
The convention also selected new
state central committee. J. w. Reyn-
olds of Creston will succeed U. S.
Marshal N. F. Reed, who retires as
head Of the party. The other members
of the committee are:
First district-August E. Johns, Fort

Second-August E. Belluff, Daven-

Both the republican and progressive
parties, which already have held their

WILSON ABANDONS
FIGHT FOR JONES
Name of Chicagoan Withdrawn
in Connection With Fed
eral Reserve Board.

Washington, D. c., July 24.-Presi-
dent Wilson recognized yesterday his
first defeat at the hands of the United
States senate by Withdrawing from its
consideration the nomination of Thorn
as D. Jones Of Chicago to be a member
of the federal reserve board.
The president took this action in
compliance with the personal request
of Mr.. Jones contained in two letters,
one formal and the other personal,
which were received at the White
house two days ago and kent close
secret.
While the president still is standing
behind Paul NJ. Warburg of New York,
also nominated for membership on the
federal reserve board, it is fully ex-
pected the latter's nomination, too,
will be withdrawn in the course of
few days.
The president has not yet taken un-
der consideration the question of the
men to be appointed on the reserve
board in place of Mr.. Jones and Mr..
Warburg. II Is certain, however, that
some middle western business man or
banker will be designated for the men,
bership the president designed for Mr..
Jones. In his letter to the president
Mr.. Jones requested the withdrawal
of the nomination on the ground that it
and the controversy which had arisen
over it were seriously embarrassing
the administration and causing injury
to the. democratic party. Moreover,
the opposition. based on distortion of
facts and perversion of truth, would
impair his usefulness as member of
the board in case of his confirmation.
The president in reply expressed
keen regret that the country should
lose Mr.. Jones invaluable services;
that the nominee should have been
subjected to so unpleasant an expert
ence and that the organization of the
new banking system should be embar-
rassed and obstructed. He insisted he
was not in the least embarrassed by
the fight made on the nomination, de-
nounced as unfair and untrue the ma
jority report opposing Mr.. Jones, slap
ped Senators Hitchcock and Reed for
joining the republicans in opposition,
and made a strong appeal for the ces-
sation of discrimination against any
particular class of men.
