with the people of Ireland" "Raus init him." roared a delegate from Bal timore.
 The real fight broke immediately after, however, when Gov. Ferguson port against the administration plank was given thirty minutes in which to present it. The plank offered by the minority was: '"The democratic party always has stood for the sovereign ty of the several states in the control and regulations of elections. We reaf- firm the historic position of our party in this regard and favor the contin- uance of that wise provision of the federal constitution which vests in the several states of the Union the power to prescribe the qualifications of their electors" The burden of Gov. Fergu- sons argument was that suffrage be- ing purely a states rights question, the wording of the majority plank was a presumptuous recommendation to the states on how to conduct their electo- rates.
 President Favors Plank.
 Tn an impatient speech Senator Walsh swept aside the smaller ques- tions which had been injected into President Wilson himself knew the plank was in the platform and consid- cred it essential for party victory. ''Whatever your opinions may be- he said, i've shall never be anything but a discordant and divided party unless we surrender some of our cOnvic- ] tiOns to the wisdom of majority. l Here you are confronted as one of our famous leaders said, with a con-
 dition, not a theory The twelve 1 suffrage states represent ninety-one Notes~in the electoral college. Every 1 political party has made this declara- l ton in some form or other. It becomes l a simple question of whether you will 1 incur the enmity of these women 1 There is no possibility of losing a | single vote if you adopt this major
 ity plank, because every other party l has done the same.
 ] ''I ask yOu,' he cried, if you're go-
 ing to put resolution in here that's l a lie. You can't adopt this minority l report without stulifying yourselves. p | Senator Walsh then explained that
 the president knew about the suffrage ] plank, and added: He believes it vii
 tai to his success that it stay there. I
 ask you with all the fervor of my be-
 ing, who is there here who is wiser or
 more patriotic than he?'
 | While the fight had been going on
 a thunderstorm burst, and when the
 row on the convention floor was at its
 height the storm reached it's climax
 The booming of the thunder, mixed l with the roaring shouts on the noo1 and the chatter caused by the rair on the roof, almost drowned out til, speakers. The storm cleared just a Senator Walsh finished speaking, anc the closing words of his plea for tn administration plank swept a chang of sentiment over the cra1Nd wal
