Coliseum for two hours and a half today,
heard ex-Gov. Martin H. Glynn. OF New

The first session of the convention was
made just as short as possible. William

man, offered a funeral oration over the
elephant and the Moose, Mr.. Glynn at

members of the platform and other COM
mittees were named, and adjournment
was taken until II a. m. tomorrow.
The whole business was frankly and
obviously directed from Washington. The
session was livelier, however. than any
one OF the meetings Of the Republicans at
Chicago.

The only picture Of a living Democratic
statesman, or of any one OF recent times,
which was in sight was a portrait of the
President.
From the skylight in the center of the
roof, an expanse OF glass put in for the
benefit of the moving picture people, the
vertical rays of the sun struck cruelty
upon many an unprotected head. The
national committee is having all OF the
proceedings OF the convention filmed for
advertising purposes, so that the plain
people would be able TO see how the Dem

nominating a President.

st. Louis, Mo-, June IA silent plea to
the delegates and alternates to the Demo-
cratic national convention was made
this morning by several thousand advo-
Gates Of woman suffrage who banked
themselves on either side OF Locust
street, from Twelfth street 10 jefferson
avenue. Through the long lane Of silent
women decked in the suffrage coIors, the
delegates made their way to the Coliseum.
Not word was spoken. Not a delegate
was buttonholed. and yet the women are
satisfied that their demonstration was
one of the most effective ever under
taken.
Long before the noon hour, when the
convention was to assemble the women
we're seen gathering from all directions
They poured into Locust street, all wear
ing white dresses, with yellow sashcs,
yellow scarfs around their hats. and
carrying yellow parasols. Under the
various State standards they took their
assigned places. Some were seated but
most of them stood on the curb for two
hours while the sun beamed upon them.
For months the arrangements have been
going on under the direction of Mrs.
Florence Updegraf. OF New York, and
at 10 o'clock. the hour fixed everything
was in readiness for the delegates al
ternates. and visitors to the convention.
Roger Sullivans followers were the
first of the Democratic host to parade
through the silent appealing lines Then
came the big delegations from Michigan
and Pennsylvania, each with its band.
After that a long unorganized parade OF
delegates. and visitors followed.
Several thousand men and women
stopped on ther way to the Coliseum TO
view the tablesu on the steps Of the old

Mr.. McCombs began his speech In

enlarged almost exclusively on the issue
