sUFFS STIR FIGHT
Looms on Horizon of Demo-
crat Convention.
Political Leaders Predict "NO
Suffragette Plank"

St Louis, Mo-, June "a smart
fight-the only one visible on the sky
line of the coming Democratic ma
tionaI conventions anticipated by
national committeeman over an effort
that is to be made to write into the
party's platform an equal suffrage
plank. National Chairman McCombs
said he had been advised that the
same suffragist host that is to wage a
fight for the suffrage plank at the Re-
publican convention would appear in
force at the st. Louis convention.
Members of the committee on reso-
luton coming from suffragist states
will in all probability, the leaders say,
make a fight of the incorporation of
the suffrage plank.
National committeeman agree that
the women suffragist leaders will be
given every opportunity to make their
pleas to the platform committee. Mrs
Carrie Chapman Gait, president of the
American Woman Suffrage associa-
ton with representatives from sew
eral women's organizations, is to at
tend the convention.
The political leaders said tonight
that an equal suffrage plank would
not be found in the platform when
the committee on resolutions was
ready to report to the convention.

Chicago, June 6.-What political
party will officially be handed the sup
port of 100000 women's votes in the
eleven free states at the November
national election?
This question, the most important in
the Woman's party convention meet

today by suffrage delegates when they
assemble this afternoon at the Black

this vote where it will do the most
good in helping to bring about nation
al suffrage. Political parties are to be
given to understand that Suffrage

that party platforms expecting to
catch woman votes must be built ac-
