hou1 session today members of the
Democratic convention sub committee

platform announced that a tentative
draft probably will be completed late
today for consideration by the entire
committee. Representative Rainey of
Illinois, member of the sub-commit-
tee, said the tentative draft would
contain a woman suffrage plank, at
least as strong as that contained in
the Republican platform adopted in
Chicago.
The subcommittee had before it more
than 1000 suggestions for planks of
all sorts. Hundreds of them We're laid
aside in the preliminary stages and
will not be taken up at all. Others
which the subcommittee feels are en-
titled to serious discussion will be
taken up at once. Copies of the pres
identS suggestions for the platform
were given to each member The orig
inal draft brought to St. Louis by Sec
rotary Baker and turned over to
Chairman Stone of the committee had
many interlineations in the presidents
handwriting.
Homer S. Cummings, vice chairman
of the national committee. appeared
before the subcommittee today to urge
adoption of a resolution which pro-
vided that in future Democratic ma
tional committeeman be elected by
Democratic voters in all states and
territories. He said the resolution
should provide further that commit
teemen should serve only until the ma
tional convention succeeding their
election has done its work and adj
journed. Before the subcommittee
met there was revival of the sugges-
ton that plank be inserted for legis-
lation that would prevent a federal
judge from accepting any elective fed
eral office during his term or within
a designated time after ne quit the
bench.
Hoboes Want a Plank.
A delegation representing the
American Organization of Hoboes ap-
peared at the committee room early

Chairman Stone who heard them, for
the committee that they desired
planks declaring for the fright to
work." for free transportation ito and
from the job" for the abolition of
private employment agencies and the
ballot for all migratory and unern-
ployed, wherever they may be.
Col r. NJ. Thompson, Rear Admiral
Osterhaus, retired, and Vice President
P. B. Lambert of the Navy League,
urged the subcommittee to put in
plank declaring that the United States
would have a navy second in sea
power in the world. so strong that it
could prevent invasion of coast cities,
be able to enforce the Monroe doc
trine, protect the Panama canal and
foreign possessions.

for TOday's Playing.

Emporia, Kan, June IA driving

in the state golf tournament more of a
task than pleasure, and on account
of the heavy condition of the course
the scores were high and the rounds
slow. This was the first disagreed BILE
feature to mar the tournament which,
players say, has been one of the most
successful in the history of the state
association.

Harlow Hurley of Topeka. playing c.

peka, playing T. B. Griffith, the pres

feated Cooper 6 up and to go; G..
Griffith of Wichita, defeated Merriam
of Topeka, and 8; T. B. Griffith won
from F. Eberhardt of Salina, L up;
and Felix of Topeka, put out Ham
ilton of Wichita, 3 and 2.
1t was the general opinion this af-
ternoon that Hurley and T. B. Griffith
would again meet in the final match,
and opinion was divided as to the
probable outcome. Hurley, it was
said, continued to show a steady con-
sistent form, but there were many
who predicted he would break under
the strain when pitted against the
champion.

CHANGES HIS MIND
Conley Pleads Not Guilty When Peni-
tantiary Stares Him in Face.

James Conley, the Irishman, who is
alleged to have walked off with a case
of watches at the Rock Island depot
and to have tried to auction them off
while in an intoxicated condition, was
arraigned in the court of Topeka to-
day. Conley offered to plead guilty
but when it was pointed out that
such a pleas opened a direct road to
the penitentiary he changed his mind.
Gee whiz," he said, Il don't want
to go to the penitentiary."
Robert Carver. assistant county at
torney, doesn't want to send him to
the penitentiary, believing that Con-
ley was not responsible when he took
the watches. 1t is probable that mat
tiers will be fixed up so that Con1ey
will be punished but not given i pen
itentiary sentence. He entered a plea
of mot guilty. and will be tried in
the court of Topeka tomorrow.
