Preside Over the Democratic
Convention.

Senator Ollie James of Kentucky will
be permanent chairman of the demo-
cratic national convention at st. Louis,
according to trustworthy information

to Senator James. Senators Stone Of
Missouri. Kern of Indiana and Pom
creme of Ohio also have been under
consideration.
Fred B. Lynch, national committee
man from Minnesota and chairman of
the executive committee of the demo-
cratic national committee, was at the

still unsettled. Speaker Clark was
sought for the position, but he de-
clined on the ground that he ought to
stay in Washington and stick to his
job as Speaker of the House.
President Wilson already has begun
work on a draft of the platform for the
convention, and il will be taken west
by Senator Stone. The President is
paying particular attention to a plank
dealing with foreign affairs. While
changes may be made by the resolu-
tlOnS committee, and new plankS may
be added, the framework will be made
at the White House. The Presidents
advisers take the position that mas
much as the chief fight in the cam
paign will be made on the Presidents
record. he should take leading part
in making the platform.
Arrangements for the convention,
made tentatively, include the nomina-
tion of the President Thursday night
June Is. by John w. Wescott, attorney
general of New Jersey, and the nomina-
ton of Vice President Marshall by
Senator Kern Friday morning, June 16.
Speakers from many states will second
