Democrats To Be Busy
Explaining, Saws WILCOX

"The Democratic party will need all
the time between now and Election Day
explaining its vaeillation and weak
kneed policies"
This declaration was made yesterday
by William G.. Wilcox. chairman OF
the Republican National Committee
when told that Vance Mccormick,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, had said that the Republi-
cans were on the defensive. Mr. Will
cox had Just come from a meeting of
the campaign committee, and the sug-
geston that the Republican campaign
would be anything but aggressive irri-
tated him.
The Republican chairman had an
extremely busy day, but he managed
to squeeze in enough time to see many
callers.
Mr.. Hughes also had large number
of callers, among them ex-senator Bur
ton, of Ohio, and exRepresentativs
Richard Bar,holdt, of st. Louis. Mr.
Burton predicted that Ohio would give
Mr.. Hughes a substantial majority this
fall. and Mr.. Bartholdt declared that
Missouri could be safely counted In
the Republican column.
The Republican nominee for Presl-
dent had luncheon with Henry L
White. former Ambassador to France
Before leaving or Bridgehampton last
evening. Mr.. Hughes learned from Sen
ator Weeks that ten Senators and
twenty-five Representatives would &c
on the stump in Maine before the Sep
TENDER election. Mr.. Hughes Will re-
turn 10 this city on Wednesday.

Beverage for Hughes;
Blow to the Democrats

Washington. July 20.--Disappoint-
ment almost as deep as that which fol-
lowed Colonel Roosevelt's detection"
to the Hughes ranks came TO Demo
Gratis here in the announcement to-day
that ex-senator Albert J. Beveridge, %
Indiana, would support Hughes for
President With close race in lndi-
ana for the fifteen electoral votes and
two seats in the Senate. Democratic
politicians were counting on Beve-
ridges support either Of Wilson or a
Moose ticket to turn the scales IN
their favor.
Republicans say that with Beveridge
stumping for Hughes the success or
the ticket in Indiana is assured. They
point out that in 1912 as a candidate
for Governor on the Progressive ticket.
Beveridge polled more votes than the
Republican candidate, and that in 1914,
running against Senator Shively, he
gathered 100000 votes, although the
disintegration of the Moose party had
already set in.
Beveridges old feud with James Z.
Watson. Republican candidate for
Senator against Taggart, was counted
on by the Democratic politicians TO
keen him from returning to the Re
publican party. His announcement
that ne would support Hughes, how:
ever, will carry with it support OF
Watson. it is believed, and will he fol-
lowed by the complete collapse OF the
Progressive movement in Indiana.

DRY PLANK URGES
EQUAL SUFFRAGE
Convention Adjourns Un-
til Friday-Platform
Not Up Yet.

St. Paul, July 20.-When the night
session of the National Prohibition
Convention was called.to order, at 1898
o'clock, a motion TO adjourn until 3
a. m. tomorrow prevailed. and after
routine announcements adjournment
was taken.
A committee draft Of the platform
calls for planks declaring for equaI
suffrage and "unalterable" opposition
to Democratic and Republican pre-
paredness programmes.
Before adjournment Of the afternoon
session, supporters of the candidacy OF
J. Frank Hanly. Of Indiana, for the
Presidential nomination, attempted 10
suspend the rules and proceed with
nominations before the platform was
adopted. This failed.
Leaders of the Hanly forces asserted
that the appearance of William Sulzer'
OF New York, had not detracted from
the strength OF their candidate, and
they predicted Mr. Hanly's nomination
on the first ballot. Mr.. Sulzer. who
made a hurried trip from New York 20
address the convention. said he would
support any candidate chosen.
Chairman Patton's introduction OF
Sulzer started a brief demonstration.
Hanly men remained silent.
mo matter what this convention does
it will be satisfactory to me as Pro
hibitionist." Sulzer told the convention
amid applause. He pledged himself
unreseryedly 10 the party, platform
and nominee. His emphatic declaration
for the religious and civil liberty plank
in the proposed platform was greeted
with applause, which increased when
he said he was ardently IN favor OF re
ligious liberty until the Church tried
TO interfere in affairs of state, when
he became az ardently opposed to the
Church so interfering.
An effort TO inject An anti-Cathollc
declaration into the Prohibition plat
form caused the resolutions committee
to 70 into executive session this morn
ing. while a bitter debate waged.
Efforts to adopt tho resolutions com
mittee's draft of platform without
first printing and distributing copies 70
delegates. precipitated the first lively
outbreak of contention among the dele
gates.
The advocates Of immediate adoption
of the proposed platform receded from
their position under the pressure OF op
position.
Taking up the Mexican situation. the
platform declares the Democratic
party has blundered and the Republican
party has cvaded responsibility Mexico
needs not a conqueror, but a gooc
Samaritan"

Progressives yesterday urging then,
not to do anything at the Syracuse
convention that would cripple the
party.
Surely" said the letter, "sinee our
national convention turned out TO be
a fiasco, owing TO the vacillation and
weakness of Theodore Roosevelt, our
only safe course if we are to hold
all Progressives together is TO take no
stand whatever az an organization on
the Presidential question, but to
leave il 10 the individuals IN our party

pointed chairman of subcommittee
which late in the afternoon conferred
with a committee of Republican Sena-
tors headed by Senator Smoot. with the
object of dey,sing ways and means of
taking from the Democrats the control
of the upper branch of Congress.
The action of the Progressives is
expected TO have a far-reaching effect
in that il will tend to make the con-
tests for the Senate clean cut between
Republican and Democratic candidates
In many states there has been talk OF
Progressive candidates for the Senate
but yesterdays action is expected to
put an end 70 these candidates.. Re-
publican leaders are hopeful of gain

dent was forceful in his talk. which
was a short heart-to-heart chat with
the members of the campaign COM
mittee. the committee of Senators and
committee of Representatives. He
emphasized particularly the big ques-
tions now before the people, and was
heartily applauded when he said:
1.-THE time has come when we must
look at the big questions Of to-day
from the mountain top and not from
the valley below"
The meeting of the Campaign Com
mittee at the Aston was so harmonious
that Everett Colby, a Progressive mem.
Der. was led 10 remark that II looked
as though all the members were Re

thusiastic over the harmony Of the
proceedings, and in telling about II

was one Of the most satisfactory meet

Progressive who wishes 10 support

so, not because of the committees

"If Mr.. Perkins or Mr.. Finn desired
to support Mr.. Hughes they should have
resigned from the party and done so.
Their course would have been respected.
They would thus have made way for
men elected 10 fill their vacant posi-
tons on the party committees, and the
question as to what the Progressive
party would do as party would have
been decided by men who were still in
affiliation with the party. But to de-
sert the party and still retain their
office in the party, and use the latter to
bend and coerce the party TO the ser
vice of their new allegiance, is an act
that cannot be condoned, and it will not
be ratified by the rank and file"
