RECEIVES
CONVENTION BULLETINS
Learns of Republican Activities
While Taking Things Easy
at White House.

Owing to the threatening weather
today. President Wilson did no. go out
for his usual Saturday morning game
of golf. He slept late and took things
easy. following his custom of observing
Saturday as holiday. He did not
receive any visitors and did not COM
municate with cabinet officers or
others.
Press bulletins of the two Chicago
political conventions were sent to him
as they arrived. together with occa-
sional kilograms from prominent dem
ocrats who are in Chicago and VOL
unfairly advised him to the progress
of things there. During the ballotinS
in the republican convention last night
the President was in Washington
theater with Mrs Wilson and did not
see the dispatches as to the outcome
of the ballots until his return to the
White House. The theater audience
cheered the President as the orchestra
played The Star Spangled Banner.
Platform Work Nearly Complete.
The President has practically com
pleted his work on the democratic
platform. Other prominent democrats
are working on planks that are to be
laid before the President MIR. Wilson
is understood to have avoided writing a
woman suffrage plank, knowing that
there will be fight in the convention,
but his position is thoroughly under
stood by the delegates to the conven
tion and there is little doubt that the
suffrage plank will be reiteration of
the Presidents oft-eXpressed view that
the question is one for the states and
must be settled by them The repub
lican national convention took prac-
tically the same view.
