committee completed the platform and
it was read over the telephone to
President Wilson, who approves OF it.
After fighting vigorously over ques-
tions involved in foreign relations, the
duties of alien-born citizens. and the
Mexican imbroglio, during which time
the Presidents suggestions were thor
oughly debated, the committee finally
reassembled and agreed unanimously
with the Presidents basis ideas, al
though, of course, changing the
phraseology. Anyway, the Presidents
suggestions were merely in the form
of kilograms and notes, in which he
explained fully his policies in the past
and, as far as practicable, his forecast
OF events and his policies in the fli-

The convention was called to order
at 1880 o'clock. Many delegates were
absent and there were few spectators.
The completion of the nominations
last night robbed the proceedings of
much interest.
The reading Of the platform began
at 1888 and was completed at 1:22
o'clock.

The greatest fight was on woman

clause was finally carried by vote
of 25 to 20:

the franchise to- women, by action of
the States, upon the same terms as

strongly supported the Presidents
opinion, that woman suffrage is a
question legally to be decided by the
people of each state, or by constitu.
