In hall gay with flags and bunting
and with pictures Of party leaders,
past and present, looking down upon
them from medallions around the bal
cony, the delegates to the Democratic
national convention assembled on
scheduled time Wednesday. The pro-
ceedings were formally started when
William F. McCombs, chairman of the
national committee, ascended the plat
form and raped for order. He melted
the first burst of enthusiasm of the
convention when, in short address in
PRODUCING the temporary chairman, he
predicted victory for the party in the
fall.
The keynote speech was delivered
by former Gov. Martin II. Glynn Of
New York, the temporary chairman.
He was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause when some point In his speech
stirred the enthusiasm of the dele
gates. His eulogy of President Wilson
started the biggest demonstration of
the day. Following Governor Glynn's
| speech, committees on credentials, per-
manent organization, rules. and resolu-
tlons were announced, and that days
work was done.
The delegates were little slow in
assembling for Thursdays session, and
1t was almost noon when Temporary
Chairman Glynn called the convention
| to order. Permanent Chairman Ollie
james was escorted to the chair and
introduced. He Immediately launched
into his address. He lauded the presi-
dent and defended his policies, partic-
ularly in regard to the controversy
with Germany over the submarine
warfare and our relations with
Mexico. An enthusiastic demonstra.
ton greeted his praise OF President
Wilson, which lasted more than twenty
minutes. At the close of Chairman
James speech the convention took O
recess until nine o'clock in the eve
ming.

the most-sought-after men In the con-

Tom; newspaper men wanting favors
Of all kinds sought him out; officials
worried about arrangements poured
their troubles into his ears, and the
marvel Of 1t all is that none went away
dissatisfied. The Hoosier solon found
time and means to grant every request,
or. at least, pour enough oil upon the
troubled waters to send his visitors

came known the Nebraska delegation

dency candidacy of Governor More

Before the convention was called to
order the Coliseum was SO full that
the fire department took charge of the
entrances and permitted no more to
come in. William ]. Bryan was
stopped at the door. Senator James
learned of the Nebraskan's plight and
rescued him. Then the Nebraskan got
his usual uproarlous reception.
Chairman James raped the conven-
tion to order.
Rev. w. ]. Hardesty, chaplain of
the Missouri senate, offered prayer.
Senator Thompson then moved a
suspension Of the rules to permit Mr.
Bryan to speak. When the motion
was put there were some Noes" but
the chairman ruled two-thirds had
voted in favor.
Senator James introduced Mr..
Bryan as zone of the leading citizens
of the world and Americas greatest
Democrat"

of the mob at the doors and the laughs
that rose occasionally when bedrag-

Mr.. Bryan was cheered- enthusi.

nine o'clock. A few minutes later,
upon the motion of Senator Thompson

A committee conducted Mr.. Bryan

Mr.. Bryan launched into a speech

~ YNTHIA GREY'S correspondents
~ have been conducting a red-hot de-
bate on the subject OF birth control.
II you haven't been following it. we
arc sorry. for the letters have been an
interesting literature on topic which
Is all too little discussed in print. They
have come for the most part from moth
crs. OF both big and little families. and
have touched on all imaginable angles
Of the subject.
In giving space 10 these letters Gym
thia Grey has been bringing out ideas
that the Birth Control League OF New
I York has been trying vainly to get be-
fore its public.
As one means OF doing it. the league
recently canvasscd a carefully selected
list OF 80 well-known New York women
who were mothers OF two or more chill
dren. All were selected for their liberal
mindedncss as we'll as for meeting the
other qualifications.
The idea was TO obtain from that list
the signatures Of a dozen representative
women to the following statement:
1--we approved of Mrs. San
gers course in publishing birth con-
troll articles.
1--WE believe that such infor-
nation should be readily accessible.
3.-We have impaired birth con-
troll information.
I've have practiced birth con-
troll.
OF the so. only six women could be
induced to sign the first three articles
and only three women all four OF the
articles.
Such is the difficulty OF obtaining tcs-
timony about the private life even when
it takes on vital public significance.
