COMPLAIN TO WILSON
They DenOunce Democratic
Plank and Ask Him to De-
fine His Stand.

ST. LOUIS. juno 16.-Members Of the
National American Woman Suffrage
AssociEion and Of the Congressional
Union declared tonight that the Demo-
cratic national convention had played
tricks with them and would reap the
harvest Of its duplicity by the adop-
ton OF a platform plank that went no
further than did that Of the Republicans
az Chicago last week.
The action Of the platform committee
was denounced and a telegram was
Immediately despatched to President
Wilson calling upon him "a interpret

subject
II has been the contention Of the
Congressional Union that the Demo-
cratic party. being the party IN power,

National Womsn's party. formed last
week at Chicago. appeared before the
resolutions committee with threats that

~sjitution living the vote TO women

what had been o n they were outspoken
In their denunciations. A special meet
ing Of the national board Of the Amefi-
can Woman Suffrage Association was
called at the Warwick Hotel and Mr..
Carrie Chapman Gait. president Of the
organization, CAV out the following
statement:
"No s%uffragist who was present at the
convention to-day could ~miaintefpret
either the speeches or the action taken
by the Democratic party in adopt1ng
the alleged woman suffrage plank IN

'The Democrats admitted freely h
their speeches that political ex1gency de-
manded some kind of a suffrage plank
and they thought 10 hoodw1nk the
women by a tumble If words that were
designed to meet the situation, but IN
no sense succeeded.

Senator Pitmnn OF Nevada went to the
Platform tn speak for the majority report
on suffrage. He asked the convention II
II was willing TO let ignorant immigrants

tiIht 70 women.
Are Nou afraid to let "A man get up
Hrl speak A word for women" he asked.
There were proans. jeers ard h.rses from
some parts OF The floor and James smote
the wood block with the Gavel in trying
10 get order, Senator John Sharp Will
iams with his white linen suit and his
shock of white hair, looking much as
Mark Twain used tn look, relieved Sena-
'or James and ordered the %disputants to
behave.
Mr. pitman Was supplanted by Senator
walsh, who sneered at Jim Nugont Of
New Jersey for in,erposing opposition to
suffrage. The New Jersey delegates
bayei angrily. Two or three Of them
seemed about TO leap from their chairs
and start for the platform. There were
moments when Walsh's voice was
drowned by the Clamor.
The Senator from Montana took the
extremely practical stand hat II would
be mighty bad politics to adopt the
minority report, winch omitted any ref
erence to the party's attitude on the

issue to the States. He called attention
10 the fact that the Republicans had
approved the suffrage principe and that
the Democrats wou!d have to meet the
Republicans on this issue or fail TO
carry a state west of the Miss!ssippi.
There would even bc danger he believed
of losing control Of tho United States
Senate If the party neglected the oh
vious course.
Thu wrdngle lasted an hour and a
half and then chairman James ordered
"A roll call of the States on the uucs-
ton of substituting the minority re-

roll call Of the convention.
