DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION
S|DEL|GHTS

One Of the most interesting fea.
lures Of the recent Democratic con.
vention at st. Louis Is the fact that II
took lovely woman to force the only
roll call demanded on the national
platform, as well as TO inspire the
only real excitement that marked the
convention.
Votes for Women" was the issue
that stirred up things. The Mexican
plank, nailed in at the last minute by
the platform builders, did not create
a ripple. "Americanlsm" and pre-
paredness" received polite ovations,
but II remained for the woman suf-
frage plank to start a real fracas.
Headed by Gov Ferguson OF Texas,
the ants endeavored to wrench the
suffrage plank from the platform. But
President Wilson's feelings on the
subject, as presented to the conven-
ton by Senator Walsh of Montana,
were not 10 be ignored. And so. after
a three-hour battle in which the term
political expediency" was used with
telling effect, the ants we're routed
by a vote Of SsSk to 1914.
The vote. however. does not tell the
real story Of the battle. which was
enc of the most vigorous and pic.
turesque ever staged at a national
Democratic convention. Fifteen wom-
en- delegates fought from the floor on
the side Of the pro-suffragists. while
hundreds of their sisters waved yell
low pennants and cheered them on
from the balconies. A thunderstorm
that almost drowned out the voices
of the delegates as they answered the
roll call brought both the suffrage
battle and the convention to a most
melodramatic finish.

1t was the above little plank that

exigencies of the situation and defy

who acted as spokesman for the mi
nority, were Senator Stone Of Mis-
souri,, Senator Pittman of Nevada and
Senator Walsh of Montana.
Senator Walsh did not mince mat
tiers in his argument for the adoption
of the suffrage plank. He stated plain
ly the adoption of the plank was
necessary as a matter of political ex-
pediency, adding that the present
political situation in this country was
a.
THE states in which women vote
control 81 votes in the electoral col
lege," he said. adding significantly,
every political party has declared for
woman suffrage in some way or other.

you will incur the enmity of these
women.

simply digging up stumps. and this
suggested an idea. I will throw
myself intU the excavation Of one of
the stumps, said to my comrades.
and when the sentinels back IL

The morning of April caught
the sentinel of his guard blowing at
the fire. trying to make 1t burn. while
was working beside n stump that
had just been uprooted. l slipped
into the hole face downward with a
sack under my shin and clump Of
ferns in front OF my face to protect
my mouth and serve as sort Of a
breathing pad; few seconds later
| felt the cold earth falling upon my
feet and legs. After the lower pa 1T

through the barbed wire We were In
plain view of them and had nothing
10 do but make squirt for clump OF
bushes nearby. We succeeded in
reaching them without being obscrv-
ed. The scntinels went away. and we
took up our journey toward the
frontier. Three peasants chased us
in tho morning for an hour. until we
finally throw them off our track in \
wood Near Belefcd two hunters set
their dogs upon us. For this evcnta-
atty we had provided ourselves with
pepper. which proved effective. We
avoided the village OF Rheines by fol-

seemed interminablc. II took us two
nights to get over them; sleeping in
the day time among the bulrushes

vision that we had calculated might
keep us alive ten days.
Liberty is Near.
After nine days OF prlvation and
exhaustation we arrived ut Adams
toward midnight. close to the frontier
town Of Breden. Again liberty was
IN few hundred yards OF us when
we hau tho misfortune to run
straight into 4 German frontier GUS
tom house. In our flight stumbled
over n stone at the very instant a
customs officer fired at my back. |
lay motionless, and the officer think
ing lad been hit, joined his com
rade in the pursuit Of BroussCt. IA
soon as the officers had disappeared

nearby. At that moment ! was on
Dutch territory. but unfortunately l
did not suspect It. I thought | was
safe though. until half an hour later
| heard tho steps Of n patrol. then
the rays OF n strong electric lamp
searched the bushes. The Germans.

the rays OF the electric lamp struck

blinded me. Surrender or we'll firc
