 "The majority plank is not the belief, not the conviction of the democratic party" he said, and in the desire to secure little political advantage, this fatal surrender of democratic principles is made"
 'The crux of the whole situation is, he added, that we were told if we did not adopt the majority proposal we might lose three or four western states" , The Texas governor pleaded eloquently in the convention not to lay aside old and honored principles of the democratic party regarding state rights.
 While the argument was going on, Will liam J. Bryan, fearful that one of the recurrent demonstrations for himself might interrupt the business of the con vention left his seat and took position under the speakers stand, where he could not be seen by the crowd, but could still hear the discussion.
 Governor Ferguson said President Will son would not be intimidated' by a few hundred militant suffragists. He declared that the party should come out squarely and sincerely on the issue.
 The Texas governor asked the delegates ''to show themselves free and brave enough to vote your honest convictions"
 Governor Ferguson urged the conven- ton ito act honestly and sincerely de- claring the people would know why the prosuffrage plank was placed in the plat 1 form.
 The agitation for equal suffrage Gov ernor Ferguson said was sweeping over the country when the women of the country should be performing the func- tions for which God Almighty intended her.

 Senator Stone demanded a roll call vote on the minority resolution and Chairman James so directed
 There was delay in the vote while the delegates caucussed. Alabama's 23 to 1 vote against the minority pro- posal was wildly cheered.
 The Arkansas vote announced was re- ported under the unit rule. Delegate Poe of Arkansas protested that the rule could not be invoked. Representative Garner of Texas questioned the right to vote the each delegate could vote as he pleased unless the state convention had instructed the delegation to adopt the unit plan.
 Arkansas was passed temporarily, but later was voted as unit against the mi nority report.
 California's vote soidly against the amendment was riotously cheered.
 Women in the convention and among the spectators cheered and waved ban ners as votes against the amendment were announced.
 When Indiana's vote of 24 to for the amendment were announced delegates yelled:
 ''Too bad, too bad.' amid faint ap- plause.
 T broke. Rain poured in great volumes from leaks in the roof and through the skylights. Chairman James ruled that under the unit rule all of the Kentucky delegates vote must be cast for the amendment.
 Sharp, sibilant misses greeted Mary lands solid vote for the minority plank
 NEW YORK IN NEGATIVE
 tremendous uproar followed the re- cording of New York's 90 votes in the negative. Chairman James was fre- quently forced to rap for order during the call. As defeat of the amendment became assured the crowd lost little of it's enthusiasm.
 The Texas vote was hissed and hooted The Arkansas vote was taken last, and Chairman James directed that the unit rule for the delegation was in force, re- quiring all it's votes against the resolu- tion.

AUSTRIAN CENTER IS

Had Heretofore Held Com paratively Firm-Are Not
 After Territory But Men

London, June 1.-The chief gain an nounced by the Russians during the past 24 hours was on the Austrian center, which up to now had .hed compara- lively firm. The Russians claim to be breaking this resistance. The main con test has been on the front just north of Buczacz, on the Stripa river. Here the Russians are declared to have over thrown the Austrian army and taken 5000 prisoners.
 The rapid movement on the wings and the cavalry dash in Volhynia to the Kovel Junction seems to have slack ened somewhat The morning newspa- pers today print only brief specials from Petrograd and some of these give evil dence of considerable delays in tele- graphic transmission. A possible explan- ation of these delays is given in dis patch from the Daily Photographs Pet rograd correspondent, who says:
 Tt is likely that the course of events will become a little obscured during the next few days, for much depends on the secrecy of the execution of the ma neuvers for which the Russians have now got free play"
 A semi-official commentary published in Petrograd yesterday says
 The absence from the official com munications of the names of places oc- cuped or the directions taken by Gen. eral Brusiloffs army do not mean any retardation in his advance. On the con- trary, his progress continues without in remission The broad corridor formed by our break through in the direction of Lutsk continues to widen and is as suming an enveloping character in rela- tion to the enemys flank. The advance however, cannot go on indefinitely at the present speed, for the element of un- expectedness to which was due much of
 it's early success cannot be maintained for the period of fortnight Stops must be made for removing the wounded and prisoners, for bringing up fresh supplies and for other work necessary in the freshly elongated lines of communica- ton.

APPEAL BY PITTMANN

Yes, I knw you men want to vote, v said Putnam, you want to do anything but hear the truth.' T want to appeal to you to give to your mother, your sister,, he said, your daughter, the right to vote" whats that got to do with it?' re- torted the crowd. The crowd was dis posed to howl Putnam down and he got on with difficulty. Finally Senator Williams in the chair announced that the time of interruptions on the floor would not be taken from the speakers. Growls and groans came from several delegations as Senator Putnam con- cluded.
 "Sit down. voice shouted, but Pitt mann ignored the lesser outbreaks until he finished.
 Senator Walsh made the closing 10
 minutes address in support or Ire majority report, saying he would not
 touch the merits of the political ques- tion He complimented the bright, brainy women who appeared before the resolutions committee. You are to bear in mind that you are asked to support a minority re- port that has the indorsement of but tee" said Senator Walsh. Senator Walsh said the present sit ua ation was a condition and not tte- ory, stating that suffrage states rep resent 91 votes in the electoral col lege.
 ..Every political party has made this declaration in some form or other" MT. Walsh told the delegates. "It becomes a simple question wheth- ed you will incur the enmity of busi- ness woman There is no possibility of your losing vote if you adopt this majority plank because every other party has done the same" PLANK IS COMPROMISE we never shall be anything but a divided and discordant party unless we surrender some of our convictions to the wisdom of majority said Senator Walsh, declaring the plank was a compromise. Now my friends" said Walsh, "as late as 1907 there were but two states
 west of the Missouri river that r. . turned democratic senators and now we have 15 of them.
 "The question is: Are you ready to surrender the 15 votes you have in the
 United States Senate and turn over te your political enemies?"
 'Is ask you if you're going to put q resolution in here that's a lie?" Sen ator Walsh shouted. You can't adopt this minority re- port without stultifying yourselves" said Walsh.
 He said he revealed no secret that President Wilson knew about every thing in the suffrage plank. 'He be- 1 lieves it vital to his success that it stay there" said Mr. Walsh. q ask you in all the fervor of my soul who | is there wiser or more patriotic than | he?" Senator Walsh concluded | Governor Ferguson concluded in a | three minute speech answering some of | the arguments of the proponents of the committees plank.

 STONE SUPPORTS DRAFT
 Senator Stone said Governor Ferguson was not more opposed to interference by one state with the suffrage rights of an other than he was. He read the original plank and the substitute and explained that the difference was only that the original pledged the party to suffrage but only through the states.
 Doesn't it sound like that" asked Stone.
 No" said a New Jersey delegate. Tt sounds like the democratic convention IS to approve recommendation that the state already has voted against"
 Before MT. Stone had gone far he was being bombarded by questions from the floor. The floor was in more disorder. There were cries of that's not fair and we don't want it.'
 Delegates from a half-dozen states in- terrupted Senator Stone at once with questions and vigorous assertions that the states should deal alone with the dispute,
 An uproar followed Senator Stones as sertion that Missouri does not want suf- frage
 Yes, yes, we do,' woman sufragist worker shrilly shouted from a balcony waving a yellow pennant over the heads or the delegates.
 It seemed that the situation had got ten into a wrangle where the majority contended that the plank imposed noth- ing on the states and the minority con- tended that it did. It was the first thing in the convention that had not breathed harmony.
 The questioning delegates exhausted Senator Stones 30 minutes and Senator Putnam of Nevada began speaking.
 Senator Pittman said his discussion was upon the standpoint of "Americanism' and humanity
 His declaration that some persons would let the ignorant immigrant vote but not intelligent women brought roar Of mixed cheers and misses. Suffrage workers in the balcony cheered wildly. Jeers and misses came from the delegates and alternates from several quarters of the floor. Are you men who are willing to hear women denounced afraid to hear man say anything in her behalf?" de- manded Putnam.
 These gentlewomen," said MT. Pitt mann, may not believe their mothers and sisters possess the brain power but also know the conditions in the sweat shops of New York and Chicago where girls have no fathers or brothers to vote for them and if this democratic conven- ton does not vote to give them the right it is not the progressive convention the people believe it to be-
