St. Louis, June 15.-(Specia1)-The dem ocratic convention. in one respect at least, resembles the republican conyen- tion. It has business to transact-and in the transaction of that business is cool, determined and entirely lacking in enthu- siam.
 The "standpatters' when gathered in Chicago, settled grimly to the task of eliminating Roosevelt. Unlike the pro- gressives, they had no time to waste in making glad. In St. Louis the demo- crats, confronted by the perfunctory ob- ligation to nominate Wilson and Maj shall to succeed themselves as President and vice president, are compelled also to con struct a platform on which the candi- dates can win.
 Therefore, all 'evity and frivolity are frowned upon. There is nothing spec tacular romantic or attractive in the convention.
 DEMOCRATS ARE DETERMINED
 There is nothing more certain than that the democrats are sorely disappointed in that Roosevelt swallowed the horrid physic that the "old guard" of the re- publican party prepared. They would, in other words, have rejoiced-and the St, Louis convention would have been .'celebrat tion"-had T. R. followed his 1912 example and insured the democrats

DEMOCRATS HAVE SERIOUS BUSINESS AND ARE DOING TT IN SERIOUS WAY

MT Wilson has ''cut and dried" the programme. He named the temporary chairman. He named the "keynoter.'' He named the permanent chairman. He named the man to put him in nomina- tion. By word, he smashed the booms of several gentlemen who desired to be vice president. He wrote the platform. And he will complete the job by naming McCombs successor as chairman of the executive committee.
 BRYAN IS QUIET
 At one time there was possibility that Bryan would attempt to "ruff,e the waters" But the Nebraskan, because possibly of his defeat in his race for dele gate, is apparently "hacked.' At any rate, he has shown no spirit of or dispo- sition to fight. His utterances to date have been most peaceful. and while he still discourses on the beauty of disarma- ment, he has surrendered for the moment his other pet hobby-prohibition.
 Mir Bryan has offered advice, but he has not insisted that his advice be ac- cepted. He has declared that the party should adopt a platform calculated tc catch the dsgruntled progressives, on the one hand, and the "dove lovers on the other But he has not specified. has not told the party how in one breath it can

of an easy victory the coming fall. But, whereas they regret the obvious neces- sity of engaging in a gruelling contest they do not despair-they do not doubt, Iin other words, their ability "to push the load over the hill"
 Nevertheless, they are serious. Evi- dently they are determined that nothing shall occur to disturb the simple white dove of peace-and that none shall cause to miscarry single one of the innum- erable plans the President has studiousiy conceived.
 WILSON IS BOSS And thus there is nothing of unusual interest connected with the convention. The programme is "cut and dried The delegates are automatons-on account of the exigencies of the moment-incapable of voluntary speed or movement. It is convention in which there is d dom mating intellect, in which there is one mind to do the thinking for thousand other minds. Never has there been in the history of the world convention more subservient to a boss. There is no Crane, Barnes, Smoot or Penrose. There is no big business" no

PRESIDENT T0LD0F | HIS DENOMINATION
 Grateful to His Friends Is His Only Comment WILSON IS AROUSED

 Listen in on Demonstration

Washington, June 16.-President Wilson was notified at 1 o'clock tonight by Secre- tary Tumulty that he and Vice President Marshall had been renominated by ac- clamation at the St. Louis convention His only comment was: "I am very grate- full to my generous friends"
 MT. Wilson had gone to bed few min utes before, after spending the evening with his wife and a party of officials receiving returns from the convention and waiting for the nomination known to be coming. He retired. however, only after telephone message had come giv- ing satisfactory assurances that reported opposition to the emphatic terms of his Americanism plank would not be serious, and that the declaration condemning the political activities of citizens of foreign lineage would go into the democratic platform exactly as he had drafted it.

By HUGH w. ROBERTS

St. Louis, June 15.--(Special) Pres ident Wilson has directed the platform builders to construct plank indors- ing woman suffrage with the states rights restriction expressly retained.
 The democratic will be identical with the republican plank. It's adoption will prove the effectiveness of the suffrage publicity bureau, which has constantly threatened to throw four million r. male votes to the party which favored the enfranchisement of women
 Frank s. White of Birminghar mem Der of the platform committee. said today:

John M. Wescott of New Jersey nominated the President at 10:11 o'clock.
 "The prophecy is fulfilled" was his opening sentence and the keynote of his speech.
 The demonstration following the nominating speech of Judge Wescot' made up in sustained energy what it lacked in spontaneity. When 45 min utes had elapsed Chairman James rapped for order and the delegates instantly responded.

By HUGH w. ROBERTS

St. Louis, June 15.-(Special.) )-Willian Jennings Bryan tonight blasted the hope of republicans that he would split the democratic bark on the rock of peace, when in spirited speech he declared that irrespective of former disagreements the party stands united to begin the fight of 1916
