WOMEN DEMAND
ACTION BY PARTY

+ St. Louis, June 12.-suffragists Of
the newly organized woman's party
and the National American Woman
Suffrage association today rained de-
mands for two widely different actions
on their issue upon democratic lead
ers.
The national organization, headed
by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, insist
ed upon declaration for suffrage In
the democratic platform, while the
woman's party representative, through
its chairman, Miss Ann Martin, de-
clared that unless the convention re-
solutions committee demands immedi-
ate adoption of the Susan B. Anthony
resolution by congress her organiza-
tion will declare war.
There is no use to delay Miss
Martin declared today. "The party
has the votes in congress to pass this
amendment If it so desires. We will
present our last move and the leaders
can do as they choose. The time for
declarations of good intentions and
is past. With 100000
voters In twelve states clamoring for
universal suffrage, we demand action"

Kansas progressive leader, here as a

Former Representative Victor Muir

emily suggested to succeed Col. Roose.
welt as the progressives' standard bear.
er II Col. Roosevelt finally refused the
nomination.
Il think the hour is too important for
any man to worry about the name OF
the party he is going to support" said
Mr.. Allen. IT Col Roosevelt accepts
the splendid statement OF Mr.. Hughes
as meeting the conditions which he laid
down to the progressive convention, q
majority Of the, progressives in the
central and northern states will sup
port Mr.. Hughes.
As far as am personally concern
ed, II Col. Roosevelt declines the pro-
gressive nomination, will support
Mr.. Hughes rather than vote for some
lesser leader Of the progressive party
not that have lost in any way my en-
thusiasm for the principles which we
have sought to introduce but because
j think the fight is going to be cleanly
between Wilson and Hughes and in
that case prefer Hughes
Although declining to predict posi-
lively that Col. Roosevelt will support
Justice Hughes, Mr.. Allen said:
''As I read the Hughes statement, it
seems to me to meet the conditions
laid down by Col Roosevelt and be-
!:eve Col. Roosevelt will maintain rath-
er an important relationship, to the
Hughes propaganda
Mr.. Allen said Gov. johnson OF Cali
fornia was going to Oyster Bay to urge
Col Roosevelt's acceptance of the pro-
gressive nomination and that the pro-
gressive leaders were considering the
selection of Justice Hughes to fill the
Roosevelt vacancy as the progressive
presidential nominee, with Col John
M. Parker Of Louisiana as the vice
presidential candidate, in order to
maintain the party's existence and its
rights to place on state ballots,
especially In the south.

IOWA DELEGATION
IN BANDWAG0N BY
NARROW MARGIN
CHANGE OF MIND, At LAST MIN
UTE CAUSES VOTES TO BE
CAST FOR HUGHES.
[BY r. D. MACMANUS.]

The Iowa delegation was among the
last to climb into the Hughes band
wagon at the republican national con-
vention at Chicago. 1t did not do so
until the rush had started and until 1t
appeared certain that the jurist was
going to be named on the first ballot
Saturday. And yet, it was not be-
cause the Iowans were opposed to
Hughes or not anxious to help NOM
mate him.
On the first two ballots the Cummins
delegates from Iowa were adamant.
AS far as the convention could see,
they were for the favorite son from
first to last. There was no hesitation
at saying "twenty-six votes for Cum
Minis when the roll call reached the
state of Iowa,
A ForeIorn Hope.
But every Iowa delegate knew Fri
day night that the Cummins cause was
a forlorn one and that there was not
more than one chance in hundred
that the favorite son could be nomtn-
ated. There were caucuses and con-
ferences after the balloting Friday
night that lasted until o'clock Of the
following morning The "allies"-that
is the delegates pledged to the favor
ite sons-sought in vain to get an
agreement whereby the strength of the
combination could be centered on one
candidate. But each of the favorite
sons wanted to be the one man and
there seemed no way to settle the mat
ter.
Changed Mind 1t Last Minute.
The conferences ended without
agreement at 4 o'clock Saturday morn
ing and shortly afterwards, the with
drawal of Sherman Of Illinois in favor
of Hughes became known. The Iowa
delegates met and the opinion was
unanimous, or nearly so, that the Iowa
delegation, too, should swing to the
jurist. That was the understanding
ton hall. Shortly before the gavel
fell, somebody rose up amongst the
Iowans and expressed the belief, that
out of courtesy to Senator Cummins.
the delegation should cast one more
ballot for him. An argument followed
and the delegation divided on the mat
ter "Just one more ballot was tho
plea Of some and It was hard one to
combat. For half an hour, the dele
gates didn't know whether they were
going to stick by Cummins for another
ballot or whether they were going to
Hughes.
Then began the roll call Of states
and as state after state swung into
line for Hughes, It became apparent to
the Iowans that they would have to
vote for him at once, or forego that
privilege entirely. When Iowa was
called, Col. French of Davenport, as
chairman, arose and in very few
words, withdrew the name Of Cummfns
from before the convention and an.
nomced twenty-six votes for Justice
Hughes. That practically settled the
nomination for the other favorite sons
followed suit and the nomination of
the justice came near being unani-
nous. AS delegation after delegation
swung into line-joined the band wag-
on, as they say at conventions-t
cheering grew In volume and when the
little delegations from Hawaii and the
Philippines announced their votes for
Hughes, the successful nominee was
given a noteworthy ovation.
