in an Address to Kate Cor
don Chapter.

That votes for women would be q
remedy for industrial evils was au idea
expressed both by Frank Morrison. Sec
rotary, and John b. Lennon. treasurer
of the American Federation of Labor,
in addresses delivered before the Kate
Gordon Chapter of the Southern States
Woman Suffrage Conference. yesterday
afternoon at the Ebbitt House.
That the federation had for many
years been fighting child labor in the
mills and factories of the south, and
that if woman suffrage became ma
tional it probably would remedy this
wrong, was the declaration of Mr. Nor
rison.
Mr. Lennon stated that the lack Of
suffrage for women had worked a great
hardship on the sex in industry He
expressed confidence that if women
We're given the vote they would pro-
cure for themselves more satisfactory
working conditions

DRIVEN TO WILSON
Democrats Forced by Conditions
to Nominate Him.
But That His Selection Means Victory
for His Party in November Is Out
side of the Range of
Probability.

One Of the dreariest pictures pre-
sented by national politics in many
years was the general acceptance of
Woodrow Wilson as the foredoomed
Democratic candidate by Democrats
who do notl like the president or his
record and would have been glad to
work for someone else if they felt
that it were possible to throw Wilson
overheard without wiping out what
ever chances his party may have. He
was given the half-hearted support of
lukewarm delegates from districts in
which outspoken and severe condemna-
ton Of the Wilson administration was
as common as it was hearty.
Of course there has never been any
doubt about Mr.. Wilson's nomination
for a second term. His party could not
turn away from him without condemn
/ ing itself. 1t could not go before the
country asking an opportunity to right
its own mistakes and Offset, as far as
| possible, it's own errors. That would
/ be hopeless, from the beginning.
The Wilson nomination was duly
ground out because it was inevitable.
There was nothing else for the Demo-
cratic party to do. But at the polls,
next fall, individual Democrats, by
thousands, will find some alternative
to voting for the present head of the
national government. They will not
forgive gross blunders, and worse.
which their party is officially COM
PEELED to praise or ignore.

~. S. FIRST"-HUGHES
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE SPEAKS AT
NATIONAL CATHEDRAL SCHOOL.
Students Told They Cannot Be Saved
by VaIor of Ancestors-Must
Make Sacrifices.

Washington, June I'm the seclu-
sion of the National Cathedral school
lawn, where he was presenting an
American flag to the honor graduates,
Justice Charles E. Hughes Oh Monday
made his first public address since the
opening of the preconvention cam
paign.
He told the young woman graduates
that the flag meant America first, an
undivided allegiance and q nation
united and equal to it's tasks.
The justice called for an undivided
allegiance" and an America united,
strong and efficient. equal to her
tasks"
This flag means more than associa-
tion and reward said the justice. 1T
is the sympbol of our national unity,
our national endeavor, of our national
aspiration. 1t tells you of the strug-
gle for independence of union pre-
served, Of liberty and union, one and
| inseparable, of the sacrifices of brave
men and women to whom the ideals
and honor of this nation have been
dearer than life.
1T means America first; it means
an undivided allegiance. 1t means
America united, strong and efficient
| equal to her tasks. 1t means that you
cannot be saved by the valor and de
votion of your ancestors; that to eact
generation comes it's patriotic duty;
and that upon your willingness to sac
/ rifice and endure, as those before yor
have sacrificed and endured, rests the
| national hope"

A WANDERING Party.

The founder of what came to be
known as the Democratic party defined
the chief political requirement of the
American people to be "a wise and fru-
gal government, which shall restrain
men from injuring one another, and
shall leave them otherwise free to reg
ulate their own pursuits of industry
and improvement" The ideal of con-
temporary Democratic craftsmanship
is so far removed from that of Jeffer->
son that its constant aim seems to be
| the maximum, instead of the minimum,
| Of government interference with the
private business of the people. Ac-
cording to the new Democrats, the
wider the sphere Of activity that can
be found for the federal government,
the better it must be for the country
the more complex and pervasive it's
bureaucratic system, the greater the
prosperity Of the Republic. There is
hardly any field of government own
ership that has not attracted Demo-
cratic support and approval; hardly
any form of meddling with affairs that
only a socialistic conception of po-
litical organization can regard as of
state concern, that does not find advo-
cacy from the Democratic majority in
congress or the spokesmen of the
Democratic administration. And yet,
no government in the world, and least
of all our own, has demonstrated its
capacity to do any kind of work, pro-
ductive, distributive or administrative.
as efficiently or as cheaply as it could
be done by private agency.-New York

WILSON PLANKS ARE READY
President Completes Draft of Plat
form for Democratic Convention
at ST. Louis.

Washington, June 10.-President
Wilson virtually has completed a draft
of the platform to be submitted to the
Democratic national convention. The
principal plans, it is said, will consist
of declaration of the administration s
success in guarding the honor and in
terests of the United States and at the
same time keeping the nation at peace.
Specially the foreign affairs sec

drawn into the Mexican internal trou.

pursuit of raiders on American terri.

The planks on domestic affairs will

serve act and the administrators pre-
paredness plans.
