the platform Mr.. Lodge had the as
sistance of Senator Borah. who speaks
the language of the Progressives.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Chicago. June 6-The introduc-
ton of the draft of the platform and
the speeches in this connection pro-
vided the principal features of the
second day of the Republican National
Convention.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge-tall,
spare and cold-read the draft of the
platform. He frequently was inter
rupted by the applause of the galleries
and delegates. when some particularly
striking plank was nailed into place.
The enthusiasm of the day was
aroused. however. by Senator Will
lam E. Borah, of Idaho.
Pleads for Equal Suffrage.
| He made a fervent plea for woman suf-
| frage and incidentally took few pot
shots at President Wilson and his ad-
ministratlon.
Senator Borah's reference to the suf-
frage plank was the signal for an eX-
plosive demonstration from the galleries,
where hundreds of women were congre-
f'sated. Their skrill chesTs yiid cries
drowned out the deep BASES of the male
delegates on the floor below. and the tu-
multi for a few moments rivaIed that in
progress at the Bull Moose convention
| about a mile distant.
When the resolution adopted by the
| Progressives was read. the air was thick
with apprehension, and there was very
| little enthusiasm. Clearly this was
something the rank and file of delegates
! had not counted upon, and they did not
! know just how to take it. There were a
| few feeble cheers. but for the most Part
there was a buzz and hum of conversa-
| ton, as the delegates conferred with each
mediation offer.
| Takes Shot at Bryan
During the morning session Chauncey
Depew and Uncle Joe" Cannon enliven-
ed the proceedings with Characteristic
speeches, thoroughly impregnated with
! the brand of humor affected by these two
veteran orators. Mr. Depew however,
loosed few shafts, aimed at the Demo-
| particular, he aroused great enthusiasm
by making pointed reference to William
J. Bryan. Mr. Bryan was seated in the
| press boz and accepted the shot with a
| smile
Throughout the session there was a
noticeable lack of enthusiasm, the only
exceptions being when the principal
speakers unlimbered their heavy artillery.
1t was apparent that the program was
more or less cut and dried. The leaders
had settled upon Hughes as the standard
bearer, and the "favorite sons camps
were in more or less gloom. accepting
without question the word handed down.
All Over but Shouting.
few DELEGATIONS were grooming their
chosen speakers for the nominating
speeches tomorrow. but all seemed to
realize that it was all over but the shout
ing. in so far as naming a candidate was
concerned. They tried to shake off their
leEarthy at various periods during the
session. but the attempts were more or
less feeble. except when the platform
makers came out, and when the barb
was prepared for the Wilson administra-
tion.
