 Besides the determination of MT. Hughes part in the campaign, the chief questions to be discussed now concern the selection of a chairman of the na- tional committee and points to be em- phasized in the notification.

Miss Catherine, left home at 10:s0 this morning to walk two miles to the Cal vary Baptist church. Their way was blocked by a squad of moving picture men. who kept pace with them for two squares. At the church entrance they were met by Mrs. Hughes and little Miss Elizabeth, who had driven there. The moving picture men had made the family late for services. As they fingered out side the closed doors, awaiting the end of the invocation, both MT. and Mrs Hughes were centers of friends pressing forward to shake hands PAY FAREWELL CALLS
 During the services the family was seated nine rows from the front of the church in a comparatively inconspicuons seat The text of the sermon was, "So run that you may obtain.' It was ad- dressed to the mems Bible class, as guests of honor at the service.
 After lunch MT. and Mrs. Hughes called at the homes of all the justices of the supreme court to pay farewell calls. No one was rse~.-i at the Hughes home. RepresA~~ <nn, republican leader in -'sss ; among those who called

Monster Tableaux and Parades Will Greet Democratic Delegates on All Sides-Want the Whole

St. Louis, June 11.-Woman suf- fragists began pouring into St. Louis today, bringing the argument that the democratic national convention should take advantage of the failure of the re- publicans to indorse suffrage by con stitutional amendment, insert full fledged equal rights plank in the dem ocratic platform and thereby capture the large woman vote in the suffrage states.
 Many political observers predict that the most interesting feature of the convention will center on the suffrage issue. Peace and prohibition, of course. will attract much attention. but Y the picturesque appeals to the delegates. as the organizers of the suffrage lead CTS display planned for the week. in sist that it must the two former is- sues soon will be overshadowed by the dominating influence of the question of equal rights.

 Among the delegates are women prominent in all walks of life, not a few of whom have at least state wide regulations in the business and edu- cational as well as the social worl1.
 Those are the women who will be in the spotlight. but aside from them there is an optimistic little army work ing out other details of the campaign. There are the various national state and local committees who will appear Before the democratic committees and those who have charge of the Golden Lane demonstration set for Wednes- day, which is expected to be a.; color ful display as ever has been made in this country in behalf of the cause.

PREPAREDNESS

Preparedness: This will be treated un- der two separate heads, one dealing with what already has been accomplished and the other with that which is in the mak- ing. It will be pointed out that the party has met new world conditions demanding preparedness for national defense by pointing to the advanced stage of prepar- edness of the navy, both in ships and men; legislation alrea3y enacted for the enlargement of the Naval academy and administration plans for rapid and bal anced enlargement of the nations forces for defense at sea. It will be contended that more probably will be done dur ing three years of democratic administra- tion than had been accomplished for many preceding years under republican rule. The enlargement of the regular army and the reorganization of the Ma tional Guard with provisions bringing it more thoroughly und IT federal control will be cited among the measures of achievements for national defense already accompliShel.

KEEPING COUNTRY OUT OF EUROPEAN CONFLICT PRAISED
Preparedness, Mexican Pol icy and Tariff All Receive Attention - Constructive Legislation Cited

St Louis June u.-Senator Stone, who will be chairman of the resolutions com mittee which will draft the democratic platform, arrived here tonight with drafts of a number of blanks, some of which have been prepared by President Wilson himself MT. Stone laid the drafts be- fore Chairman McCombs of the national committee and held conferences with party leaders who will be associated in the final preparation of the declaration of principles as it comes before the democratic convention.
 All the blanks as they now stand are subject, of course, to the action of the resolutions committee, but certain of them which express especially the senti- ments of President Wilson are sure to be incorporated as they were brought by Senator Stone.
 Generally the object of the platform builders is to present a concrete record of party achievements, as platform in themselves, to accept the challenges of the republican platform and meet the in- dictments contained in MT. Hughes tele- gram of acceptance of the republican nomination. The principal blanks as they stood tonight, when Senator Stone went into conference with Chairman McCombs, may be authoritatively outlined as fol-
