DENIS END SESSION
With LITTLE fight

ST. LOUIS, June 17.-Vance
Mccormick of Pennsylvania was
elected chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee follow
ing a debate that lasted until
after midnight.
Homer Cummings of Connect
cut was chosen vice chairman;
Representative Carter Glass of
Virginia, secretary; w. w. Marsh
of Iowa, treasurer, and John /.
Martin of Missouri, sergeant-a.-
arms.
A warm debate was stirred up
by a resolution providing that the
committee name its own chairman
and secretary from its own men,
bership and that the presidential
nominee be empowered to select
a campaign committee.
e. H. Moore of ,.Ohio. when
presented the resolution, declared
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-06-17

the president should not have
power to impose his will on the
committee. The action of Presi-
dent Wilson in suggesting the
names of the officers was freely
discussed.
The resolution finally was de-
feated, 46 to 3.
The democratic national con-
vention adjourned shortly after 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon after
the party platform had been
adopted exactly as approved by
President Wilson.
The one fight came ON the suf-
frage plank, which was finally
voted into the platform by a vote
of SSS1a to 1871 II.
The suffrage plank reads:
I'VE favor the extension of the
franchise to women of this coun-
try, state by state, on the same
terms as to the men,"

But there was nothing doing.

progress south of the works. There
was also hard fighting on the Vaux-

German attack on Bazentin-le-Petit
was repulsed. Otherwise there was
no important action.
