 St. Louis, June 14.-The Democrat national convention at it's first ses sion today heard the keynote O "Americanism and peace; prepared ness and prosperity" sounded b, former Governor Glynn of New Yorl as temporary chairman, and, with high pitch of enthusiasm emphaticall, registered, by demonstration afteii demonstration, its approval of Pres ident Wilson's peaceful conduct o1 foreign affairs.
 The convention, which had gotter under way with such perfunctor, demonstration as marks every ma, tional gathering of the kind, soor stirred itself into roaring cheers as Chairman Glynn cited historic parallels to show that other pres idents, including Republicans. had ad- justed threatening foreign situations without resorting to war
 "The policy of the administration, , he declared, "has been just as Amer ican as the American flag itself. J As he went down the list of pres idents, recounting their actions to avoid war, the delegates caught the spirit of his argument and, as he re- ferred to each particular. president, some one would call out:
 What did he do?"
 "He settled the trouble by negotia- tions," was the reply which Glynn in- variably returned, and the convention would roar it's approval.
 William Jennings Bryan, appearing as newspaper correspondent in the press stand, wept with emotion as Governor Glynn pictured the virtues of peace, but he laughed when a Texas delegate, interrupting MT. Glynn, leaped to his chair and cried:
 "And don't forget that policy is satisfactory to William Jennings Bryan"
 Aside. from a 16-minute demonstra- tion, which began as Chairman Glynn pictured President Wilson's re-elec- tion, Glynn's address was sprinkled with demonstrations which he found it difficult to stem.
 Delegates for Peace.
 It was plain that the telling points on the delegates were the recital of President Wilson's effort to keep the country at peace.
 "This policy, he said, "may not satisfy the fire eater and swashbuck- Ter, but it does satisfy the mothers of the land, at whose heart and firesides jingoistic war has placed no empty chair; it does satisfy the daughters of this land, from whom buster and brag have sent no loving brother to the dissolution of the grave; it does satisfy the fathers of this land and the sons of this land, who will fight for our flag and die for our flag, when reason primes the rifle; when honor draws the sword, and when justice breathes a blessing on the standard they uphold" The last of the words were drowned in roar of applause.
 Repeat it," cried a delegate.
 "All right; be quite and I will," re- piled MT. Glynn, and he did.
 After hearing the keynote speech, the convention adjourned until II o'clock tomorrow. The committees then went into session to prepare their work for the convention.
 Today the big coliseum, holding about 12,000, practically was filled, and despite a constantly rising tenn perature, was fairly comfortable.
 On the way to the convention hall the delegates passed between lines of suffragettes spread along 12 blocks of Locust street, the most travelled route to the coliseum. The suf- fragettes, seated on chairs, were ar. rayed in white and yellow and held yellow parasols. The waving lines of yellow and white gave the line the popular name of "Golden lane."
