Il nave hopes that we may clear up
the contests today and complete the
temporary roll of delegates" Chairman
Cummings said.
Chairman Cummings, OF the national
committee, continued today to receive
platform proposals from various sources
for preliminary discussion with leaders
before the resolutions committee begins
work on the platform itself. Men who
will play important parts In this work,
including w. j. Bryan and Senator
Walsh, OF Montana, were expected dur
ing the day.
First guns OF the democratic national
convention were fired today when the
national committee met to draw up the
temporary roll OF delegates. Three con-
tests had been called to the commit
tees attention, but only one of them,
that involving efforts to give Senator
Reed, OF Missouri, a seat with the dele
cation from that state. promised more
than routine interest. Only one con-
test, that from Georgia, has been off,
cially filed with the committee.
The Georgia contest results were ex-
pected by party leaders to be settled In
favor OF delegates friendly TO the can
didacy OF Atty, Gen. Palmer for the
presidential nomination, the decision
carrying with It confirmation OF Clark
Howell as national committeeman from
that state. There appeared to be no
question as to the result In what was
described as clear case Wnere stat
utory provisions in the state and party
rules dictated the course OF the com

DELEGATES FOR
RATIFICATION
Were Signing Wire to Gov
ernor When Stopped by
Roberts Z Friends.
M'KELLAR FOR SUFFRAGE
itHy GEORGE r. MiLToN.)

s Fl - -
y salt Lake City. Utah, June 24-There
was intense interest aroused among
members of the Tennessee delegation
en- route to Frisco by the dispatch from
Washington to the effect that Tennes-
see could. under the Ohio decision, rat :
ify the suffrage amendment.
Senator McKellar said he had already
written Gov. Roberts urging that a
session be called. The senator favored
the sending of telegram to the gov
oTnor signed by members of the delega-
ton. urging that Tennessee take action
IN time to be the thirty sixth state and
enid such prompt action would be OF
assistance to Gen. Tyson in his race for
the vice-presidential nomination.
The telegram was being generally
signed when some close friends of the
governor asked for delay until the dele
this course was taken. They said they
feared such action would embarrass
the governor, as he could not make a
canvass Of the state at the time of an
extra session.
1t is the overwhelming sentiment of
ate ratification by Tennessee will win
electoral votes in the west for demo-
Gratis. II will also enable thousands Of
women In Tennessee to achieve polit-
ical equality before the August eec-
tion. The Tennessee democracy has
put itself on the side of Woodrow Will
son on the league of nations issue. 1t
has the opportunity to give him prac-
teal assistance in his long fight for
suffrage. The extra session would also
give the party an opportunity to keep
its pledges for state legislation instead
OF leaving them mere pledges.
Davis for Ratification
Judge Ewin DAVIS. VINO Is with the
delegation. also strongly favors imme-
date ratification by Tennessee. Judge
Davis is very influential member of
the party. He advances some cogent
reasons why John w Davis, by the way
not kinsman. shall be nominated for
president. and stranger things might
happen, because the Davis tide seems
rising.
Nevertheless a majority of the Ten
nesseans yet expect to have an oppor-
tunity to vote for William g. McAdoo,
and despite the former Chattanoogan's
statement, 1t seems hard to stop his
hoom.
