PRAISE PRESIDENTS
AGGRESSIVE COURSE
Democratic Callers at White
House Approve Denunciation
of Hyphenates.

Democratic callers at the White
House today expressed satisfaction at
the aggressive attitude the President
is taking regarding the hyphenates of
the country. and say this may become
one of the great issues of the presi-
Dental campaign If certain hyphenate
leaders continue to advocate the de-
feat of the President because of the
foreign policies Of the administration.
The President is well aware, it is
pointed out. that the great majority
of certain kinds of hyphenates have
announced their purpose to punish him
in November. and, consequently. give
their support to the republican ma
tional ticket, the nominees of which
have, the administration believes, not
spoken clearly enough to indicate
and seek to placate il.
The Presidents determination to
force the position of the hYphenates
before the country was made know Ia
his speech here yesterday and in telegra ms
he caused to he sent to the democratic
leaders in the ST. Louis convention di-
recting that the platform Of the demo
cratic party strongly arraisn individ-
tIa Is or alliances seeknG to embarraS SIS
the government in negotiations with
foreign nations or to punish ii for what
II has done, at the same time condemn

its position on the question for fear
Of political consequences.

Germany the delegates wanted to hear

James repeated his statement and
cheers In repeating the phrase from
his prepared speech the senator said:
Woodrow Wilson. without orphaning

single American mother, without firing
a single gun, without the shedding of
a single drop OF blood. wrung from the
most militant spirit that ever 'brooded
above a battlefield an agreement to
American demands and a concession of
American rights"
The band swung into America" and
the Star Spangled Banner" Hats and
flags went into the air. Somebody
cried:
Three cheers for Wilson," The crowd
roared the answer.
Stanchions were torn from the floor
and a march of delegates through the
hall was started. The aisles became
choked because the demonstration was
The congestion aided in shortening the
demonstration. The band played The
Hot Time" as a marching tune, while
Senator James famed his ford face.

The latter force later Joined in sup
porting the plans for hurried nomina-
lions, which plan of action had been
approved at a meeting earlier in the
day between Secretary Daniels. Senator
Kern Of Indiana. w. w. Marsh Of Iowa,
Senator Taggart of Indiana. Norman
E. Mack of New York and other leaders
When the platform will be considered
has not been definitely decided.
The tentative plan of the rules COM
mittee was to hear the reports of the
rules credentials and permanent or
ganizatfon committee, and the speech
Of Senator James of Kentucky as per-
manent chairman. and then recess until
o'clock, at which time nominations
would begin. Whether the platform
should be considered tonight after the
nominations or tomorrow was to be
left to the rules committee.
A resolution to limit all first nomi-
mating speeches to thirty minutes and
all seconding speeches to five minutes
was unanimously adopted.

Wants No Hair-Splitting.

The President does not want any
hair-splitting on the question. He is
willing to go to the voters on the issue
of whether an American official is to be
politically blackmailed' by foreign
born voters for what he has done in
his line of duty in UNFOLDING the rights
and honor of this nation.
The understanding today was that
the st. Louis platform regarding the
work of groups of Americans of for
eign extraction will declare that the
administration will not be Influenced
by this species of blackmail' and
practically challenges the nominee of
the Chicago convention to announce
clearly his own position.
The President today kept in close
touch with the convention through tel
egrams constantly arriving from st.
Louis. The kilograms uniformly rep
resent the democratic representatives
as enthusiastic and optimistic, ready
to return to their homes and begin a
vigorous fight for the national. state
and congressional tickets.

Leaders Yield to Desire
of Delegates to Speed Up
the Conventions Program

COLISEUM. June 15.-By unanimous
committee today recommended that
nominations for President and Vice
President begin at 8 o'clock tonight. The
proposal was carried after an extended
argument in its behalf by Chairman
William A. Glasgow. jr.. of Pennsyl-
vania. His attitude had the support
of democratic leaders generally.
Mr.. Giasgow's chief contention was
that it would be impossible to hold the
delegates later than tonight, and that
it would be poor politics to make the
nominations with seats empty. The
New York delegation. he said. would
leave for home tonight regardless of
when the nominations were made.
