set aside. 1t might be added, Incl.

rations. The committee set to work
today to draft those plans. They re-
port to the full committee this after
noon. Old timers in the democratic
ranks recalled that IL Mr.. Marshall
is renominated-and there was gen.
eral belief he would-it would be an
act almost unique in conventions. In
one or two instances heretofore have
vice presidents been renamed. Politi-
cal expediency this year dictates that
an effort will be made to Offset tho
republican bid for Indiana's electoral
votes made in the naming of Fair
banks for vice president, by renomf-
mating Marshall, another Indianian.
From indications today, Marshalfs
name will be the only one submitted
to the convention as vice preSi-

nominee and the Missouri delegation

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 15.-Certain
hyphenated organizations in the
United States charged with attempt
ing to influence the course of this
government in it's foreign relations.
will be vigorously denounced in the
platform to be adopted by the demo-
cratic convention. President Wilson's
ideas on international relations, MeXl-
co, suffrage and other issues will
dominate the platform. 1t was learn
cd today, however, that the tentative
draft which was sent to st. Louis py
Secretary of War Baker, touches the
high spots, leaving numerous minor
issues to be worked out by the reso-
lutions committee.
Denunciation of organizations en-
deavoring to influence this govern
ment's policy will come in the Amer'-
canism plank Not only will the or
but any party seeking political ad-
vantages through such organizations
will be included in the scoring.
Woman's suffrage will be endorsed.
In addition to the Americanism
plan, the United Press learned today
that the presidents suggestions are
substantially as follows:
National Preparedness.
A firm demand for a navy that VIII
be sufficient to protect American in
terests whether at home or abroad.
and an army sufficient to protect our
borders and at the same time form a
nucleus of an efficient fighting force
that can be quickly recruited in case
of war.

ed, but compulsory training or service

Not mentioned by name. but the
policy of the administration toward
weaker nations is upheld with the
declaration that the aim of the United
States should not be to interfere in
the industrial affairs of these weaker
nations except in the most extreme
cases. Our policy seeks 20 advise
them in the end that they may be
more prosperous and Industrious.
Weaker nations have the right to
work out their own destiny.
Foreign Relations.
Neither the general German sub
marine issue nor the Lusitania case
are directly mentioned. but it is point,
ed out that the administration has
secured for Americans, guaranteed
freedom of the seas while at the same
time peace has been maintained and
American rights preserved through
negotiations.
The Wilson policy in dealing with
belligerent nations, the plank de-
clares, is backed up by precedent of
many presidents and great statesmen
who secured American rights and
averted war, through negotiations.
Suffrage.
The platform declares for woman's
suffrage even in franker language
than the republican platform, but like
the republicans, declares it is a state
matter and should be settled by indi-
vidual states.
Tariff.
Underwood tariff law declared to
be act drawn in interests Of all peo-
pie in distinction to former republi-
can tariff laws, enacted in -he inter-
ests Of individual and special prtvfi-
