WILSON VIEWS TO GUIDE
PARTY CONVENTION
1t is Expected That His Policies
Will be Fully Endorsed at
San Francisco.

San Francisco, Cal, June 1o.-Homer
s. Cummings, Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, said that while
there might be n contest over the League
of Nations plank of the platform to be
adopted by the national convention, there
was no doubt that the League issue be-
tween the two major parties would be
clean cut. Mr. Cummings declared that
tho acceptance by the Republican Nationa
Convention of President Wilson's chal-
lenrc TO have "a great and solemn ret
ercndum' on the League exactly suited
the Democratic Party and that the San
Francisco League plank would be dia-
metrically opposed to the League plank
adopted at Chicago.
From all appearances It is to be Wood
row Wilson convention rs far rs the plat
form declarations are concerned. That
seems to be accepted, even by those who
make no bones of showing their dislike
of the President. Men who have been
sounding out sentiment in behalf OF Nc
Adoo and Palmer have encountered IT
everywhere They realize that there is
n strong undercurrcnt OF opposition among
delegates already on the ground against

OWNERSHIP OF CAR LINE

Some days ago the Ardmoroitc call.
ed for an expression from the peo'
PIE on Jac uunictl OWNERSHIP of
the street car line in this city. A bal.
lot was published in the paper to be
voted and returned to this office.
Tho votes received were in the ma
jority for the purchase Of the line
and it is our opinion that this city
should own and extend and operate its
street car line.
Our reasons are briefly stated as
follows: The owners Of the car line
intend 10 take it up and sell the
steel and copper and discontinue its
operation. No town can build into a
city without means Of transportation.
If the conditions are such that prl-
vate ownership cannot bc brought to
bear 90 operate public utilities then
II Is the plain duty Of the people
themselves To own and operate them
in the interest Of the public and 10
serve the public. The car line will

SPANISH IMMIGRATION TO
UNITED STATES INCREASING

Washington, March 27.-Cable dis.
patches describing crowds seeking
yises on passports at the American
consulate in Madrid intensified the
belief of immigration authorities here
today that the number of emgrants
from Spain to the United States might
break all records
"They are of a cultured class and
will undoubtedly make good citizens
said Representatives Isaac Seige. OF
the house immigration committee.
Immigrants from Spain for tho
last year before the war numbered
1929, the number having increas-
ed from 6,617 in 1913.
From July TO Dec. I, 1919, the
last period for which tabulations have
been made the number was 1901 The
influx has been at a considerable
higher rate since then.
Mr.. Segel predicted that many
Spanish speaking people would lnmi-
crate from Salonica, where there arc
100, 900 descendants Of Spanlsh Jews
who are dissatisfied because they are

ON DELAWARE A CT|ON

Dover. Del, March 2I.-Although
the Delaware Legislature was in adj
iournment until next Monday. today
saw little let-up in the struggle FOR
and against its ratification of the
woman suffrage constitutional amend
mcnt. Workers on both sides con-
tinucd campaigns in preparation for
the vote expected next Tuesday or
Wednesday.
throughout Delaware today cham
r!ons wearing the yellow and purple
colors of tie suffragsts and the rcd
roses of the opposition were engaged
with special pressure on members
of the lower legislative branch, which.
so far has maintained a majority
against ratification. Many campaign
crs were ut Wilmington, Philadelphia
and some at Washington onlisting
aid in the fight
Ar end TO the fight next week Is
regarded as sure. General belief Is
that the vote will come on Wednes'
day. first in the house. and, should
it decide on ratification, afterward
in the senate.
Suffrage advocates declared that
should Delaware refuse to be the
thirty.sixth state needed for rattl'
cat on Of the proposed amendment,
they will turn their attention TO four
other statcs--Connecticut, vermont,
North Carolina, and Louisiana. Suf-
fragc organizations now have repre-
sen;atives at work in all four. They
are seeking special sessions of the
Connecticut and Vermont legislatures
and counting on action at the North
Carolina assembly called for July
rut Delaware remains their major
hope for cffecting ratification of me
amendment in time to insure nation
wide suffrage in the coming primar'
les.

the points advanced by the unions
