SUFFRAGISTS PROMISED
PLANKS IN PLATFORMS
Republicans and Progressives Likely
to Give Recognition to Claims
Advanced at Chicago.
1By the Sun News Seryicel

Chicago June 4-The women suffra-
gists who believe they hold a powerful
club over the political parties in the num-
Der of women now allowed to vote in
national elections. have already won a
partial victory in their fight for a plank
in the Republican and Progressive parties
indorsing the right 10 vote. Certain
leaders. led by Senator Smoot, OF Utah
the Mormon Apostle, however. had an
agreement to try to persuade the reso-
lutions committee to approve the prin-
ciple of the right of women to vote
Likewise National Chairman Charles D.
Hnlee. Of the Republican party. and
Secretary o. X. Davis, Of the Progress
sives have promised their support to a
suffrage plank in their respective plat
forms.
The suffrage leaders. however, who
open a convention of enfranchised women
from twelve States at the Blackstone
Theater tomorrow night have determined
not to stop at half way measures. From
the Republicans and ProgTessives they
want a plank in the party platforms in
dorsing the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment to the National Constitution. From
the Democrats, who will be trailed to
ST Louis next week. they intend to de-
mand immediate action on the amend
ment In the judiciary Committee of the
Senate and their stand. they say will
be backed by the political power OF
large percentage of some 100000 women
who can now vote in national election.

TO CAUSE FIGHT
Woman Suffrage, "American-
ism and Preparedness May
Disrupt Harmony.
CBy the Sun News seryiceD

chicago, Ills, June 4-There We're in
dications tonight that lively fight will
be waged over at least three planks to
be incorporated in the Republican ma
uonal platform-woman suffrage. "Ameri-
Sanism." and preparedness.
There will be no reference to "hyDhens"
or "hyphenates' in the Republican plat
form. Some of the Roosevelt leaders
would have the resolution engraft a part
of the Colonels speech on "Americanism"
with all those references that have
aroused the ire of COMMUNICATIONS
Representative Augustus P Gardner, Of
Massachusetts,, the angel Of prepared
ness" who was shouting long before
Col Roosevelt got on the job, is here
urging a strong plank on this subject
and the nomination of Roosevelt. Robert
o. Bacon. of New York, representing the
National Security League, is expected
tomorrow. and he will speak on prepared
ness before the resolutions committee.
1t is settled that the platform will carry
a strong endorsement OF preparedness.
No fight will he made against the
social justice" planks to be proposed
by the Roosevelt Progressives.
Representatives of the Anti-saloon
League are in Chicago with a national
prohibition plank all ready for sub
mission to the resolutions committee.
Eugene n. Foss Of Massachusetts,. will
present a prohibition plank to the con-
ventiOn. The committee will make no
representations to the convention on
the liquor question.
John Barrett. director OF the PAN
American Union. is here to urge a
plank expressing closer relations be-
tween the United States and the Latin
American republics. Such a plank will
! be adopted. Representatives of the
Tariff Commission League also will be
heard. A plank favoring the creation
of a nonpartisan tariff commission will
be adopted, together with a special
Endorsement of protection as the most
effective weapon to safeguard the in
terests of the United States upon the
restoration of order in Europe

ROOTPREFERENCE
Delegation Also Said to Have
About Been Won Over
to Barnes.
tBy the sun News Serviceo

Chicago, June 4.-The Barnes men have
virtually won their fight to have the
election OF national committeeman
postponed and it looks tonight as il they
might be able to elect Senator Wads-
worth when the time comes. If the Whit
man candidate continues to be Herbert
Parsons. Late this evening the Root
forces and the State delegation held d
caucus of their own in the congress
After counting heads Of those present
and those who have not yet reached Chi
Cago. Senator Wadsworth said:
There is no doubt that we have a
majority for Mr. Root" He was unwilling
to give figures or to put forth a list Of
names, although earlier in the evening
such list had been expected One of
the delegates who came out of the meet
ing said that thirty-seven men had been
present and signed their names for Mr..
Root and that seven absenteeS among
them Job Hedges. were known to be Root
Hartisans. This would give Mr.. Root
forty-four votes in the delegatin. one
more than a majority. Col. Michael J.
DAILY. OF Brooklyn, who was supposed to
be going to vote for Cen Wood, said:
I'm for Root. Wood is not a candi-
date. Neither is Hughes"
Senator Wadsworth said that even
more votes than could be mustered for
Mr.. Root for the Presidential nomina-
tion would be delivered against Herbert
Parsons for national committeeman. He
and Senator Elon r Brown were appoint
ed as a committee to take up the matter
Of national committeeman with Gov
Whitman and Frederick c Tanner. This
they will do tomorrow.

ELIMINATION OF T. R.
TO MAKE HIM DICTATOR
CONTINUED FRONTAGE ONE.

lican leaders are practically willing to
take any candidate save Mr.. Roosevelt
who will be certain to carry the sup
port of the Progressive party.
Who this man will be is almost as un-
certain tonight as it has been at any
time since the convention hosts began TO
assemble in Chicago. Charles E. Hughes
Associate Justice of the United States Su-
preme Court. is still leading the field by
an impressive margin, but doubt as to
Col. Roosevelts attitude toward him has
added an uncertain element which is dis
concerting to Hughes supporters.
Mr. ROoseVelts followers are not yet
ready to concede the statements made by
'G. O. P leaders that Col. Roosevelt $
nomination by the Republicans is now out
of the question. The Roosevelt men are,
in fact, at present engaged in what is be-
lieved to be game OF bluff. They realize
that their only chance in the Republican
convention lies in the elimination of
Hughes from the situation. They were
busy today throwing out hints that Col
Roosevelt never would stand for Justice
Hughes.
When pinned down. the Roosevelt fol-
lowers made no pretense OF speaking with
any authority, the general impression
being that they were making a final at
tempt to hold a threat of the Colonel's
disfavor over the heads of the Repub-
licans without in any way actually COM
mitting Mr.. Roosevelt to a course Of Op-
position to Justice Hughes.
While this show of opposition was ap-
pearing on the surface. other develop
ments indicated more strongly today than
on any other occasion that the Progress
sive leaders were thinking seriously OF
the possibility of indorsing Mr.. Hughes in
the event of his nomination.
There is, however, one point on which
the Progressives insist they will never
surrender, and that is in regard to the
principle enunciated in the statement lasS
January by the Progressive national COM
mittee. which said:
I'm this turning point in the worlds
history we will not stick on details; VIC
will lay aside partisanship and prejudices
But we will never surSender those princi.
pies for which we stand and have stood
We will follow only a leader who we
know stands for them and is able to put
them through"
Progressive leaders insist that If Mr.
Hughes is endorsed II will be only after
he has given an expression of his views
in accordance with the principles laio
down In this statement Inasmuch as
Justice Hughes will not consider making
any statement while he is on the bench
the problem for the Progressives in his
ca Sc consists in finding a way, consistent
with their own dignity, of postponing ac-
tion until after the Republicans have &C.
tually nominated him.
In fact, all signs, save objections raised
by some of the most radical of the Pro-
gressives, point to harmony program,
and 1t Is expected by most Of the leaders
In both parties that after the usual
amount of political jockeying and pre-
liminary bluffing the two factions will
finally get their heads together in a
united opposition to the Democratic ad-
ministration.

coming OF the governor there was an
other face put upon the situation. 1t
became evident that Mr. Whitman in
tends to run the Hughes boom himself
His whole attitude is, Il saw it first.
therefore it's mine" He is willing
enough to take Hitchcock into his
confidence and be seen around with
the willy former Postmaster General,
but 1t must be plainly understood that
Whitman and not Hitchcock is to be
deferred to-
Apparently Mr.. Hitchcock has bowed
to the governors will. When the gov
ernor and the rest of the New York
delegation arrived, Mr.. Hitchcock was
the first to step forward and shake
hands. Later they went amiably up
stairs for a chat.
The governor expects to make the
speech in nomination of Hughes-in
fact. he is at work now upon a draft
of the speech. but he added that he
would not make a point of the mat
ter and was perfectly willing to step
aside if the cause would be more
greatly benefited by some other man
making the nominating speech
