The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-06-16

Coliseum, June 16.-Because
of a slight delay, chairman
Stone was not ready to report
the resolutions Immediately af-
ter the opening of today's ses-
sion. When the platform was
ready, Stone said he had not
slept for thirty hours and dele
gated the reading of the plat
form to Senators Walsh and
Harding.
The reading of the platform
required one hour. The MeXl-
can plank was most frequently
applauded. When the reading
was completed, Senator Stone
moved it's adoption.
The reading of the labor
planks brought applause and
the suffrage plank brought
more applause from the men
than the women. The reading
was completed at 1:2O, after
fifty-eight minutes. lmmedl-
ately Chairman Stone had NOV
ed for the adoption of the re-
port. William Lomasney, a del
egate from Massachusetts, eX-
cepted and after wrangllng
some, allowed him ten minutes.
1t turned out that Lomasney
wanted to put a plank in the
platform expressing the SYM
pathy of the convention for
'the people of Ireland" " "Raus
nit him." shouted a delegate
from Maryland. 1t was referred
to the resolutions committee.
Governor Ferguson of Texas
then presented the minority re-
port on the suffrage plank. Un-
der the agreement there was to
be thirty minutes debate for
each side. When Governor Fer
guson had finished speaking
for the minority report, Senator
Stone spoke in favor of the ma
jority report.
Governor Ferguson declared he en-
dorsed the states right amendment
despite it's possible political ineXpe-
diency "The majority plank is not

said, land in a desire to secure
a little political mending this fatal
surrender of democratic principles is
made. The cruX of the whole sltua-
ton is that we were told If we didn't
adopt the majority report, we might
lose three or four western states.
The Texas governor pleaded eloquent
ly in the convention not to lay aside
the old and honored principles of the
democratic party regarding states

At 11:52 last night, Woodrow Will
son and Thomas Riley Marshall were
nominated by acclamation as the
standard bearers of the democratic
party in the first night session of the
democratic convention. No ballots
were taken. The delegates simply

ton adjourned at II: 80 until II o'clock
today.
The final days session of the demo-
cratic convention was opened at ll:2b
today. when Chairman James imme-
diately called on the resolutions COM
mittee to submit it's final draft of the
program, which contains more than
1000 words.
After short preamble, the plat
form opens with the brief statement,
1--WE endorse the Wilson administra-
ton. 1t speaks for itself"
In turn the platform chronicles the
accomplishments of the Wilson admin
istration, starting the federal reserve
system, the federal trade commission
the adjustment of the tariff adequate
for revenue under peace conditions,
the advancement of the parcels post,
better rights for the workingmen.
The platform asks for the immediate
development of the foreign trade Of
the United States, citing the merchant
marine as a primary factor. The plat
form condemns those persons of di-
yided allegiance, who seek to foment
internal discord and strife" for the
advancement of the interest OF any
foreign power" and condemns spe-
cifically all alliances or combinations
of individuals 'conspiring for the pur
pose of embarrassing the govern
ment.."
Preparedness Is treated briefly in
a declaration for an adequate army
for the protection of the nation 5
rights, the continuous development of
the navy and an adequate reserve of
citizens trained to arms.
Under international relations, it
says the democratic party has held
to the old path of neutrality and be
lieves that the United States should
join in a world court to maintain in
violate the open use of the highway
of the seas.
The platform declares for Pan-Am-
erican concord and bases the Mexi-
can policy simply on the Monroe doc
trine. The Mexican plank also says
that the troops should of necessity
remain in Mexico until order has been
restored, although the party is against
Intervention or subjugation.
The suffrage plank reads: I'VE rec
ommend an extension of the franchise
to the women of the country by the
states upon the same terms as men,"
In discussing labor, the platform de
clares the party's faith in the sea-
mems act; favors an effective fed
eral bureau of safety.
Governor Ferguson of Texas was a
member of the committee of four
which submitted the minority report
on the suffrage plank in the demo
cratic platform, declaring that suf-
frage was a question of state sover-
eighty and that federal endorsement
would be in violation of the honored
principles of democracy.
Under Protection of Citizens" the
platform declares the sacred rights of
American citizenship must be pre-
served at home and abroad and no
treaty with any other government
shall receive the sanction of the Uni
ted States government which does
not expressly recognize the right of
expatriation. The platform demands
modern principles of prison reform
be applied to our federal penal system.

time, to raise chickens and eggs for

all of which have been given to the

crop, as it did many of the beauti-
