ination at the end of a telephone wire
that extended to the speakers stand
A megaphone was attached to the re-
ceiver in the Coliseum. Fred B. Lynch
of Minnesota notified him at the in
slant of his nomination.
On This Platform.
Wilson and Marshall will be sent
into the campaign on a platform
which declares:
For Americanism and against
hyphenated Americanism.
For the enfranchisement of women
by the states.
For a continuance of the present
policy in Mexico.
For a continuance of the presidents
foreign policy.
For all the declarations of the Balti-
more platform save the anti-Second
term plank and the plank favoring the
exemption of tolls for American ships
passing through the Panama canal.
These are definitely lodged in the pre-
amble of the declaration
Uproar Forty-Five Minutes
A demonstration lasting forty-five
minutes followed the placing of Will
sons name before the convention by
Judge Wescott of New Jersey The
same jurist made the nominating
speech at Baltimore four years ago.
Many brief second speeches were
made from states considered doubtful
in the coming campaign. Judson Har-
mon, who opposed the president at
Baltimore as a rival candidate, made
| a seconding speech.
The nomination of Marshall was
unanimous. All the several aspirants
ior the honor withdrew, including
/ Roger Sullivan of Chicago and Cow
ernor Major of Missouri
such enthusiasm as there was en-
dured but for few minutes. The big
demonstration was palpably forced by
the leaders.
During its progress the delegations
OF New York, Illinois, part of Massa-
chusetts, part of New Jersey stub
bornly retained their seats.
The nomination was rushed through
at the last minute Senator Hughes OF
New Jersey moved the nomination be
made by acclamation as soon as Har-
mons seconding speech was con-
cluded
Quarrel Delays Platform.
After the incident of Burke's neg
ative vote, Senator Kern nominated
| Marshall. That nomination went
through by acclamation. There wa.
no opposition.
A quarrel over some of the plank:
in the platform prevented a report o.
the platform committee when the
nominations had been made. 1t wa.
reported that the president, to whom
the planks have been read one by one
over the telephone, insisted on {
strong anti-hyphenated plank and tina
he wanted the convention kept in ses
sion until he could address it.
This was fatty denied by Chair
man James. 1t was clear however
that failure to meet the president
platform requirements was holding VI
the platform. The Subcommitte,
which drafted the platform had dom
its work. But the full committee hat
not all assembled at 1 o'clock. Som
of them were still in conference will

way; pumping Dixie-which had not
been played during the earlier session
of the convention. and The Battle
Cry of Freedom" and THE Star
then as the noise began to ebb, at the
suggestion of some patriot who was
looking after the ticket in November,
the band played Onward Christian
Soldier" but no one sang. They
could not quite follow Bryan that far.
But the crowd got the point and after
quiet was restored, the crowd set up
a cry for its old leader. A
Bryan yelled the delegates, in a
barbaric yawp of acclaim. For ten
minutes it cried its heart out, and
Bryan in modesty fled from the press
box to an engagement at the City club.
Not until the chairman announced
that the delegates would have an op-
portunity to hear Mr.. Bryan later did
the demand for him subside. He is
still a power of the first class in the
Democratic party. Without him no
has told his friends freely taht he ex-
poets to be with the president in this
fight.
After the Bryan demonstration, the
crowd rose easily to any demand upon
its voice. Its emotions had been nm
covered. It had found itself and was
ready to express itself as unit. From
that moment until the end it was an
unterrified, old fashioned Democratic
convention. AS the platform was
read, the crowd punctuated it with
yips of approval and chortles of de-
light. And later as the crowd settled
down for business, it was evident that
the delegates had come to enjoy them
selves and had brought their joy with
them. 1t was a radiant, good natured,
unanimous convention, easily uncOrk-
| ed, but tremendously full of fizz.

MEET ONCE MORE
Conference Between Union and
Big -Four in August.
After That Only Means Will Be

New York. June 16.-Prelimirary
negotiations between the heads cf the
big four railway brotherhoods and
the national conference committee of
the railways have come to an enc The
railroads refused the unions demands
and suggested arbitration by the in
terState commerce commission or by
umpires appointed under the New

A. b. Garretson, grand chief of the
order of Railway conductors and
spokesman for the union, refused
these suggestions.
If the offers did appeal to u.s." MIR
Garretson said, lit would be impos-
sible to accept them at the present

but to go back to the men. They will
never go into an arbitration in which

other Bourbon leaders in the sunf1ow-
er state believe the James speech will
be a ten strike with the women voters
and several hundred thousand copies
of the speech will be printed and dis
tributed in Kansas.
Sapp's plan to put the James
speech in general circulation is the
discrimination of the general campaign
plan of the Kansas Democrats 1t be-
came apparent today that Sapp will
make a fight for the woman vote in
home state. Through appeals similar
to the stirring remarks of the Ken
lucky senator, Colonel Sapp hopes to
save a safe Democratic majority for
the Democratic national ticket in
Kansas and deliver the state to Will
son, as well as return the six Demo-
cratic congressman.
That aJmes speech will catch the
woman vote flat footed was the pre-
diction of one widely known Kansas
Democrat. 1T is just the thing we
want for our national campaign. My
guess is that the James speech will be
used extensively in every suffrage
state. 1t will go to the Kansas women
early in the campaign and If the opin-
ion of the delegates and state leaders
attending the convention amount to
anything, it will be an effective cam
paign document
documents will be sent to the women
under the theory that the women
voters are more generally opposed to
extensive preparedness policies and
war demonstrations. The James
speech is a most emphatic appeal to
the voters not to change horses in
the middle of the stream and to con-
dnue a policy which has prevented
Senator William H. Thompson of
Kansas is in the real hero class. Kan
sans have taken the spotlight in the
national conventions various oc-
caSions during the last two weeks, but
Senator Thompson is the one Kansas
man who has won recognition as a
real, true, honest to goodness hero
As Senator Thompson left the
Planters hotel after late night ses-
sion with the resolutions committee
he saw a 3-year-old child run from
the sidewalk and start across the
street. AT the same time the Kansas
senator saw a big touring car swing
around corner in a manner that
threatened the life of the little tot
Senator Thompson jumped in front of
the machine, seized the child and lift
ed it from danger, as badly frighten-
ed motor driver brought his car to a
standstill.
The child had wandered onto the
street unaccompanied at a late hour
After turning the child over to the
police, Senator Thompson turned to
the driver of the machine. As the
door of the car was opened he found
that Samuel B. Amidon of Wichita
and Dan Callahan of Wichita. two
delegates to the national convention
froLa Kansas, were passengers in the
car Except for the prompt action IF
the senator it is probable that the
child would have been run down.
More than half of the delegates and
convention visitors will leave ST. Louis
tonight for their homes. Others will
spend Saturday in the big town and
return to Kansas Sunday Following

HURLEY IN LEAD

ESnporia, Kan, June 16-At the
end of the first Is holes of the final
play for the state golf championship
between l. Felix and Harlow Hurley,
both of Topeka, indications were that
Hurley would win the title in easy
style. Hurley finished the 8 holes
up on his opponent and appeared to
be playing in his best form
Felix did not show the same form
this morning that he did Thursday
against the 1915 champion, Tom Grif-
fifth. whom he eliminated. His conf
dence was not as great and his stroke
was more uncertain.
Hurleys total score was Sc for the
Is holes, his in and out scores being s
each. Felix went out in Al and came
in in At.

st. Louis, June 16.-The renomina~
ton of President Woodrow Wilson and
Vice President Thomas r. Marshall by
the Democrat national convention set
a record unprecedented in the history
of the party in that the standard hear
ers of the organization were named
before the party platform was
adopted.
The opening session of the conven-
ton today at IL O'Clock is to dispose
of the platform job at once Senator
Stone announced late last night that
the drafting of the platform by the
subcommittee was completed. but the
perfected platform was too late to go
before the convention session last
night.
President wilson's name was placed
before the convention by John w
Wescott, attorney general of New Jer-
sey, in a comparatively brief speech
Vice President Marshall was nomi-
that again upset all party precedents
in that it consisted of but ten words.
Senator Kern simply said:

shall, of Indiana, for vice president"
Although the vote on Wilson was
made by reclamation with belief that
it would be unanimous. there was
however ,one dissenting vote. 1t was
