pairs of feminine eyes was turned

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, June 14.-Some-
thing over two thousand persons
assembled here at noon today to
waste time, to speak and listen to
speeches three days before they do
the one thing for which they have
been chosen. In other words, the
democratic national convention was
called to order by National Chairman
McCombs and started on its oratori-
cal way toward the denomination OF
Wilson and Marshall.
1t was the women -suffragists-
and the flag, who furnished the color
to the gathering today. Democrats
seized upon flag day which is today.
to arouse the crowd to high frenzy
of patriotism. Nearly $4,000 flags
were distributed to delegates, alter
mates and spectators. At given

the great hall will be Transformed
into a sea of waving flags.
The women staged silent demon
stration of their plea for the ballot.
For two hours the suffrage workers
suffrage colors, lined Locust street
for the distance between the Jeffer-
son hotel and the Coliseum. They
didn't say word-the idea was
simply to bore in on the conscious
ness OF the delegates the fact that
the women desired equal suffrage.
Because OF the very fact that the
work of the convention is so perfume
tory, there was a growing sentiment
today among delegates that its work
will be hurried along. There may be
an attempt made to. advance the
date of the nomination. The dele
gates know there is only one candi-
date for presidential nomination.
They are perfectly willing to adopt
any sort of a platform pleasing to
him, so why fuss and speechify and

sary days. The plan to consolidate
several of the purely speeding ses-
sions grew in favor today with
knowledge that President Wilson re-
CARDS unlucky Friday as one OF his
lucky days and would be perfectly
happy to be renominated on that day.
The original plan was to wait until
after midnight Friday to put through
the national ticket.
The program for today's session
was purely routine. First OF all,
Chairman McCombs sang his swan
song as national chairman. Then he
introduced the temporary chairman,
former Governor Martin III. Glynn,
of New York, the ''key-noter;; his
speech concluded, there were few
details of organization to ibe attended
to before the convention adjourned
until Thursday. Democrats would
like very much to have some sort OF
a row just to furnish a little excite

ment and make the convention seem
more like a democratic gathering.
But. there didn't seem today to be
anything belligerent anywhere or
any issue where there was chance
for belligerency-even desperately
inflated series of boomlets for Roger
Sullivan and Governor Major as vice
presidential nominees having failed
to attain size sufficient to insure
real contest against Marshall.
National Committeeman Edward F.
Goltra, of Missouri, has been the one
real peppery, belligerent democrat In
st. Louis-and he was sat down upon
hard by the national committee. so
nothing remained. Goltra tried to
hold up the whole convention, until
he was given what he considered his
share Of the tickets, but the commit
tee simply sicked Charley White OF
prize ring fame on him-White being
offciaI doorkeeper Of the convention
and Goltrx faded away.
Ideal Conditions.
[By Perry Arnold, United Press Staff

COLISEUM, ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June
14.-Democracy's representatives nev-
er met under such ideal conditions
as they did here today. First OF all
the party of Jefferson was unanimous
in it's choice of candidates for the
national ticket; there was complete
accord on the platform on which
those candidates were to appeal to
the public and fullest agreement on
the program. Finally, seldom has
political convention met in such a
beautiful hall as that which st. Louis
furnished.
Vacated only Saturday night by
another meeting, carpenters and
workmen accomplished a masterpiece
in their renovation of the big hall. A
specially installed skylight made it
as light as day in the huge interior
and the whole inside was aglow with
the red, white and blue OF old
glory. The entire ceiling was cover
ed with white. A special balcony
which added nearly 1000 to the TO-
900 seating capacity of the place,
was draped with the national colors,
with huge plaster medallions show
ing democracy's famous men of the
past in bas-relief, hung at the top or
each white draped pillar.
Not SO vast in its proportions as
the hall at Baltimore. where four
years ago the cohorts of democracy
nominated their victorious candi-
dates, nor as huge and Darn-like as
the Coliseum in Chicago, where the
republicans last week named their
ticket. the ST. Louis Coliseum gave
an air of comfort, closeness and OF
cheer-exactly the setting for the
harmonious, get-togetherness and
closeness of the ranks of democracy
in 1916.

CHRISTMAS SUN SHINES ONLY ON
 PART WORLD

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Tn a Christ mas message to one hundred churches and Sunday schools throughout the country, the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America points out that the Christmas sun this year shines only upon our half of the world" and the council "persuasively suggests" that Americans make this Christmas a sacrament of self-denial. It recommends that every Sunday school should have a Christmas ser vice in behalf of children across the sea, with a generous gift giving for the children of Europe. It urges that ''at the family altar of every Chris tian home, gifts be made equal in value to those given in the family circle, for some home in the Near East or the Far East home for a home"
 Each church, in appropriating ex- penditures for its own Sunday school Christmas, is urged to set apart also an equal gift for a school of children across the sea, and for every Christ mas dinner it is suggested that a gift of equal value be made for the starv- ing children of Europe and Asia.

From Austria and Hungary comes word that next year the bar against foreign jockeys, that has prevailed during the past season, is to be lifted. Only Austrian, Hungarian and Ger man jockeys were given licenses to ride this year, but the lack of good jockeys, and at times jockeys of any kind, has been so great that the rae ing promoters feel it will be neces- sary to admit neutral riders hereafter
 In the past American jockeys have been the principal outsiders. In gen. eral they have been so far superior to the native riders that the tendency was to jump wages in order to attract them. Native riders naturally insisted on getting more money also, or on bar ring the Americans. The latter was adopted as the easier way out of the dilemma.
