FAVOR VOTES FOR WOMEN
Kentucky Democrats Indorse Suf.
frage, League of Nations and Wilson

Louisville. KY, Sept. 5.--(By A. P.)
Ratification of the Susan b. Anthony
woman suffrage amendment, general re-
vision of the state revenue law, drastic
legislation against profteering and con
tinuation of the primary system of
making nominations are chief features
Of the platform adopted by Kentucky
Democrats in convention here last
night.
Virtually the only fight in the adop-
ton of the platform had to do with
woman suffrage. the issue being whether
the convention should declare for rati-
tication of the federal amendment or call
on the coming Legislature to submit
the matter OF suffrage to referendum.
The convention unanimously indorsed
the league of nations proposal and the
administration of President Wilson.

MANY HEAR SPEAKERS
ATM. {. CENTENARY

The open field for Christian eduoa-
ton ana the resources of Methodism
were topics discussed at the centen-
airy convention at the Methodist church

peing Or. w. A. Brown. He empha-
sized the value of the tithing system,
declaring 1t dignified, regulative and
educational and proper system for
raising money for Christian work. AS
a comparison Of how the church and
government raised funds, he asked,
what would be thought Of q govern
ment which would attempt to raise tax
es by means of oyster suppers and
rummage sales? He pointed out the
vast sums for Christian education
which could be raised If the tithing
system were practiced by the Method
lists Of the country.
The value of Sunday school in ad-
vancing the centenary movement was
given by Rev. Clifford, who was follow
ed by DR.. Sumner r. Vinton. from
family Of missionaries, who explained
the value and advantage Of using Ian
tern slides to show the scope Of mis-
sionary work in foreign fields.
He showed a number of slides COW
ering missionary activities in the Unit
ed States, Alaska, Porto Rico and the
Hawaiian Islands, which were explain
ed by DR.. Brown, who announced be-
fore the close of the session, DIR. Vim
ton would show slides and explain the
work in his own field.
Supper was served in the basement
by the Ladies' Aid Of the church at
which a few informal addresses were
made by the prominent speakers. DIR.
Lewis presided at the night session and
Governor Davis gave an address of
welcome in behalf of the state and
Mayor Hays for the city.
"The Christian Crusade for World
Democracy" was the topic Of the night
address given by DIR. aVinton. who ex-
planned just what the servants of
Christianity were accomplishing and
urged that the field for such oppor-
tunity be looked into by those seeking
to aid in the crusade.
The sessions held today were largely
attended and the inspiring addresses
by the leaders in the Christian work
showed the value of the great campaign
to which they were giving their efforts.
