SUFFRAGE WINS . IN LONG BATTLE
Plank Favored by Wilson Remains
 In Democratic Platform

St Louis, June 17.-The democratic national convention finished it's work yesterday by adopting the party plat form exactly as approved by President Wilson and submitted by the resol11- tons committee, including the plank on Amaricanism and that favoring wo- man suffrage, but not until the har- mony of it's three days sessions had been disturbed with a row over the suffrage plank. No voice was raised against the vigorous declarations of the Americanism plank, but at one time it looked as if the suffrage rlank had been lost. After Senator Walsh of Montana had told the convention that President Wilson himself consid- cred it vital to party success, however, 1t was voted into the platform by a ballot of 88812 to 1S11a. The entire platform then was adopted without roll call.
 As it went into the platform the suffrage plank stands: We favor the extension of the franchise to the Wo- men of this country, state by state, on the same terms as to the men' The woman suffrage leaders considered it a much more favorable declaration than they got from the republican convention at Chicago; they threw all their force behind it, and won the support of the administration leaders Wsao were found fighting for them when danger threatened.
 LOmasney Starts Something.
 The fight on the suffrage plank was In the air. Everybody was keyed LID to it and when, at the conclusion of the reading of the platform, Martin Lomasney of Boston, a delegate claimed the attention of the chair. it was thought he was opening the fight and it was several minutes before the shouts of approval and cries of disap- proval could be stilled sufficiently tc hear that he wanted to put the con. Vent1on on record as sympathizine

Theodore Marburs. Former Minister to
Belgium. Discloses Plan.

New York, Nov. 5.-Theodore Marburg,
who was United States Minister to Bel
gium in 1912-13, and who Is now vice
chairman of the executive committee and
chairman of the committee on foreign
organization of the League to Enforce
Peace. in an address at Mount Morris
Baptist Church in this city this evening.
dealt with a constructive scheme of world
craftsmanship to be put into effect imme-
diately after the close Of the war.
For one thing, he proposed that ex-
President Taft, who Is the president Of
the League to Enforce Peace, should be
sent to Europe at once to negotiate what
President Wilson has called some sort
of joint guarantee of peace"
Immediate action Is essential, in Mr..
Marburg's opinion, because of the fear
that men will forget the horrors of war
as soon as the fighting ends. and the
world be disappointed as It was by the
congress of Vienna a century ago.
THE brief program OF the League to
Enforce Peace has met with wide ac-
ceptance. not only by private citizens,
but by many men in public life and In
positions of power in America and Eu-
rope. 1t IL approved in principle here at
home. Foreign ministers of European
countries have indicated their personal
approval. The outlook is hopeful"

Says Every Postmaster Will Get Wire
to Vote for Wilson.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York. Nov. 5.-Former Postmaster
General John Wanamaker has issued Q
statement sharply denouncing a scheme
reported to him whereby the Wilson cam
paign managers had planned to coe-ce
postmasters into voting for Wilson. MIR.
Wanamaker said:
81 have been informed that every post
master in the country is to receive a
telegram telling him to vote for Wood
row Wilson. When l was in the Post
Office Department I would rather have
had my right hand cut off than to tell a
man to vote for any man for President
because he had a 5000 job in the de-
partment.
II am informed upon unimpeachable
authority that the kilograms have been
fled with both the large telegraph COM
panies.
ITO my mind 1t Is a crime to attempt
to intimidate postmasters with $500 Q
year or $1,000 a year jobs, or even the
higher salaried postmasters, to vote for
Mr.. Wilson. That office means that mans
bread and butter, and to intimate to him
that II Mr.. Wilson Is not elected he will
lose his ONCE Is beyond all reason in
decent politics.
From what I have been able to learn,
the messages are worded practically 6like.
I have been unable to find out. however.
whose signature is attached to these tele-
grams. II these messages were sent, II
must be with the knowledge of Mr.. Will
son, and II this is the case the scheme is
in my opinion. a piece Of unclean politics.
