BRYAN ISLOYAL.

st. Louis, Mo-, June l4.-On the
morning of the first session of the
Democratic National Convention, two
matters ofunusual importance in their
bearing on the campaign as well as
the course of the Democratic Conven-
ton are revealed. They were:
First Formal announcement by
William Jennings Bryan that he will
make no attempt to throw monkey
wrench into the convention machinery
that he will not even appear before
the Resolutions Committee in advo-
cacy of his pacifst ideas; that he is
earnestly for reelection of President
Wilson and will take the stump for
the Democratic ticket as early as the
latter part of August, if it is the de-
sire OF the Wilson Campaign Commit
tee.
TARIFF PLANK READY.
Second-Completion and indorses.
ment by the leaders of the tariff plank
in the platform, the matter of greatest
interest to the business interests of
the country in connection with the
convention. The party will indorse
the present tariff law and reafirm its
belief in tariff for revenue only but
will declare both for a tariff commits
sion and the enactment by the present
Congress of anti-dumping legislation.
SUFFRAGE DISCUSSED.
Secretary Baker created some talk
by declaring in favor of women's suf-
frage. This led party leaders to be-
lieve that perhaps the Presidents
suggestions" included a suffrage
plank, but Mr.. Baker declared speci-
fically that he is speaking for himself
alone.
The militant attitude OF Democrats
gathered here increased with the
coming of the secretary. This is not
going to be so much a convention as
a campaign opening. The speeches
will be campaign speeches. In con-
trast with the attitude of the Republi-
cans at Chicago in their negotiations
with Roosevelt, the Democrats here
seem to fear no one, Bryan least OF
all.
The convention will be rally from

St Louis, June 14.-Arrival here
of Secretary of War Newton D. Bak-
er, President Wilson'S personal rep
resentative, bearing the presidents
own" draft of the platform and news
that he desired the denomination of
Vice-President Marshall; firmly es-
tablished the harmony program for
the democratic national convention
which opens today when Chairman
William F. McCombs, of the demo-
cratic national committee lets his gavel
sound at noon, leaders expected all
pre-convention discord to be blended
into one harmonious note. A pro-
gram upon both the presidential and
vice-presidential nominations and the
platform as we'll has apparently been
agreed upon by the leaders.
Vice-presidential booms around
which most of the pre-convention
fights have centered wilted away I'M
der the influence of the personal mes
sage from the white house that the
president desired Mr.. Marshall again
as his running mate.
DISPOSES OF OWN BOOM.
Secretary Baker also effectually dis
posed of the vice-presidential boom in
his own behalf which had attained
prominence in the behalf in some
quarters that Mr.. Marshall lacked
genuine administration support
1.-THE president is for the renomin-
alton of Vice-President Marshall, I"
was the emphatic statement of Secre-
tary Baker.
Although Mr.. Baker declined to
disclose the presidents platform it
will dwell principally "on peace, pre-
paredneSs for peace and prosperity. 4"
WILL NOT CRITICISE G. o. P.
ACTION.
Despite agitation by some demo-
cratic leaders President Wilson, it is
said, disapproved insertion OF plank
criticising the nomination ola supreme
court justice for president or favoring
a constitutional amendment prohibit
ing justices from seeking other public
federal offices.
The president desire adoption OF a
platform so progressive that il will
appeal to and attract members of the
progressive party but without an open,
direct invitation to the progressives to
swing their strength to the democrat
ic ticket, il was learned.
As to woman suffrage, il was UNI
derstood the platform will probably
suggest that the women continue their
efforts for the ballot in the respective
states, the primary authority for polit-
ical qualifications.
The principal planks, il was author
itively stated, will deal with the adj
ministration's trials and achievements
| in handling international and Mexican
affairs, its rapid and deliberate steps
toward preparedness for peace" and

start to finish, full of enthusiasm and
unity. While it twill probably not de-

some startling platform coups, which
are suspected, it will show an undi-
vided party front against the Republi-
cans and real enthusiasm for the
candidates.
Senator James, permanent chair
man of the convention, in a confer
ence tonight urged that the convention
be concluded in three days at the
most, and not stretched to four. He
said there was no necessity for hold
ing the delegates any longer.

HetP rs ASKED TO ROLL UP

From the state headquarters OF the
Wonian's party there il being issued
to all the registered women Of New
ada an appeal just received from
Alice Paul, chairman OF the Congress
sional Union, an organization OF
thousands Of eastern women.
This appeal asks western women to
vote against President Wilson and
the Democratic candidates for con
gress and thus stand by the unen-
franchised women Of the east who
during the last four years have been
vainiy pleading with the president
and his party to pass the national
suffrage amendment through con.
gress.

in Washington. declares that the
Democrats have blocked the women's
way to freedom" and begs women
voters not to use their votes to
return this party to power for four
years more Of opposition 10 the
political recognition of women.
The appeal says:
We, unenfranchised women in So
states, appeal to you, women voters
OF the west, to help us in our strug.
gle for political liberty.
Together we believe in free
womanhood. But here in the east
we are powerless to alter govern
ments not responsible to us.

states. the throngs of foreign born
citizens. unfamiliar with our tongue,
the illiberality OF our state constitu-
tons, in many cases impossible to
amend, close to US the door of EN-.
reimbursement by work in our own
states.
We turn to congress; and there our
greatest strength and best ally is the
vote Of four million women enfran-
chised in the west.
But this strength, to help women,
must be, used for them at the polls,
Politicians Of all parties want

you to make II clear to them that
no party Will get the. support of
Z women which has denied Justice to
women
For four years we have entreated
President Wilson and the Democratic
party to favor the federal amendment
enfranchising women and permit II to
go through congress so that the
states might act upon it, He has
refused and his party has blocked
its passage.
