PUSSYFOOT FAVORS
WH|SKEY FOR SICK
Famous Dry Leader Also As
serts Edwards Would Make
Good Bar Tender.

CHICAGO, June 27.-William A.
(Pussyfoot) Johnson, who gave an
eye to make England "dry," is in Chi
cago today to speak for the anti
saloon league. He handed down this
political forecast for the benefit OF
the wet" Democrats.
"If the Democrats adopt a wet
plank, they're lost. They might as
well hold the funeral now as later.
His opinion OF Governor Edwards.
Of New Jersey, ran like this:
Edwards proper place is behind a
bar with an apron on"
Pussyfoot surprised some Of the
anti-saloon leaguers, however, when
he admitted that whiskey has some
medicinal value, though not as much
as 1t is given credit for" He added
that 1t should be sold for medicinal
purposes, but it's sale should be
guarded like poison.
"Former President Taft, I see. says
the American people want 10 per cent
beverages" he observed. II can't Sc
where Taft is qualified to speak for
the American people" He said he
would go to India in November to
combat the drink evil in that coun-

NEW YORK. June 27.-Data "show-
ing in scientific detail the social and
economic effects Of prohibition" have
been provided for the use of the plat
form committee of the Democratic
national convention by William Jen-
nings Bryan, 1t was stated today by
the Rev. Worth NJ. Tippy, executive
secretary of the social service commits
sion of the Federated Council OF
churches.
z "Police and court records show a
decrease in the number of potential
criminals, confined or on trial, run
ming from 80 to 30 per cent" was one
OF the statements in the sociological
report made by w. e. ,McLennan.

and ne will. therefore, be barred from
the floor.
with Bryan on the resolution com
mittee, a battle Is expected from the
moment the doors close on the delib-
erations of that body. Bryan has de-
clared he will work for a dry plank,
for a profteering plank, a plank pro-
fax U and full nnh-
licity in labor disputes, and opposition
to making the League of Nations the
paramount issue.
There are a number OF vets In the
committee who are eager for show
down.
Unless Bryan can sway the COM
nittee by oratory, 1T looks as II the
league plank approved by Wilson
would be adopted. as the Administra-
ton leaders are confident they have
the necessary votes.
DEBATE ON PROHIBITION.
One of the most spectacular features
OF the convention. 1t Is predicted, will
be a debate on the floor between wet
and dry leaders over adoption OF a
prohibition plank. or one declaring
for light wines and beer. Bryan plans
to talk directly to each delegation,
daring delegates publicly to vote wet.
Then ne will ask that the delegations
be poIled so that when the balloting
begins every delegate must vote in
ldividually. The margin between the
vets and drys appears very slight
and II looks as IL the margin Of vic
tory would be narrow for either side.
1t is considered extremely unlikely
that any avowedly wet candidate can
poll a two-thirds vote and get the
nomination.
A Wilson demonstration is being ar
ranged A large picture of the Presi-
dent was being installed today over
the speakers rostrum. The plan is to
keep II covered. and then-at the psy-
Geological moment-unveil 1t with the
expectation that this will precipitate
a long cheer for Wilson.

CONVENTION ROLLS
OVER REEDS CLAIM
Missouri Senator Defeated In
Contest Was Opposed BY
Suffrage Leaders.
Continued from First Page.)

kota, II. H. Perry; Ohio, Z. II. Moore
Perhaps the most vehement OF
Reeds attackers was Senator Carter
Glass Of Virginia, who Is President
Wilson's representative in San Fran
cisco. Although his speech was IN
the privacy of an executive session.
bita of 1t leaked out to the corridors.
He told OF Reeds consistent and bit
ter antagonism to the Wilson Admin
istration.
He reviewed at length Reeds rec
ord. which is filled with bolts from
the White House dictation and so elo-
quent was he that he brought tears
to the eyes of some of the women
leaders who were permitted to sit in
on the hearing as national committee
women-to-be. Other speeches against
the seating of the Missouri Senator
were made by Patrick Quin, of Rhode
Island; Senator A. A. Jones, of New
Mexico, one of Reeds colleagues; a.
r. Titlow, of Washington, and John
w. Coughlin, OF Massachusetts. All
were insistent that the little gray
haired Missourian be denied partici-
patton in this convention. Reed still
has a chance to sit in the convention,
but it is conceded to be a remote one.
He will take an appeal to the COM
mittee on credentials and, IL he can
get a supporter on that committee,
perhaps later a minority report to the
floor of the convention itself. How
ever he has trump card left in an
alternate's credential which will
guarantee him voice in the session.
Instances where the credentials
committee or the convention itself
have overturned the action of the full
national committee are so rare as to
be almost unheard of and the general
belief in Administration circles today
was that "Jim' Reed has been
squelched.
The Georgia case likewise will be
carried to the credentials committee
and prol~bly to the convention floor
with about the same chances Of sue
cess.
The Palmer delegation from Georgia
Is headed by p. A. Stovall, of Savan-
nah. Ca, and is for Palmer solid.
The opposition to Palmer is headed
by Charles s. Barrett, nationally
known as head of the Farmers Union.
and includes former Senator Thomas
Hardwick. who was an opponent Of
the Administration while he was in
the Senate.
Barrett announced today that they
would carry their fight on. and IL un-
successful he declared that all the
political fights of history would be
tame affairs, compared with what will
be staged in Georgia this fall.
Two thirds OF the Democratic vot-
ers Of Georgia are represented In the
Nmith-watson combination, the Pal
mer slate getting through because
Palmer got a small plurality in a
three-cornered fght in the primary.

FOES Of De VALERA
FIGHT IRISH PLANK
Loyal Coalition Says Conven-
ton Has Barricaded Self
Against "HoodIums."

SAN FRANCISCO. June 27.-De-
nouncing Governor Cox and Governor
Edwards as Sim Feiners, and charg-
ing that barricade has been built
around the auditorium to protect del
egates from assaults OF Irish hood
lums during the Democratic conven-
tion, agents OF the loyal coalition to-
day began campaigning against an
Irish plank in the platform.
They issued a statement with the
above allegations, and added that De
Valera, president OF the Irish Re-
public" has a fund of 100000 to
spend here. This statement was
signed by Demarest Lloyd and w. r.
Smith, president and vice president
OF the coalition. II also was assert
ed that San Francisco is one OF the
greatest centers of the Sim Fein In
the world, with Boston and Dublin
next.
Coincident with this development,
the American commission on Irish
independence" made public a telegram
from De Valera, sent from Elko, New.
in which he declared the Irish wanted
a platform plank fatty recognizing
the Irish republic. Mere sympathy
will not be sufficient. He said he
would submit to the resolutions COM
mittee the same plank put before the
Republicans. This demand for recog-
milton was seconded by the all.Ameri-
can committee of Friends of Ireland,
headed by Walter f. Holloway. OF
Philadelphia; Charles T. Sprading, of
Los Angeles, and Edward Adams Can
trell, of Kentucky. They claim to
represent 100000 Americans-not
Irish--and issued a statement insist
ing that America pay her debt to
Ireland

WOMEN ARE FEATURES.
The outstanding feature of the
whole thing is the women. They give
color to this convention that never
was seen before. There are 400 OF
US officially with the convention-9o
delegates. 202 alternates, 90 State
committee women who are members
OF the national committee, II mem
bers OF the executive committee OF
the national committee, and the rest
personnel OF various committees.
or course, so large a feminine rep
resentation means that there are
women on every committee: nothing
is decided and no moves are made
without their participation. Yester-
day, at the executive session OF the
National Committee. women sat silent
and eager when Senator Reed. one of
the greatest foes of equal suffrage,
lost his plea to be seated In the ma
tional convention.
1t was a triumphal moment for
some OF the women present, who had,
again and again, fruitlessly inter-
viewed him in his office at Washing
ton in the interest OF woman suffrage.
RECOGNITION GIVEN.
The Democratic party has been gen.
erous to women, there Is no doubt
about that. They have opened po-
litical doors that may never again be
closed and the consciousness of this
gift impresses the individual woman
who is attending the convention In
some official capacity with a tremen-
dous sense of her responsibility.
1t Is no longer a question simply of
whether women must make good in
order to win recognition and credit
for their sex: they are so intimately
associated with the policies and
achievements of the Democratic party
that its success is inevitably tied to
theirs.

HARD
TREATY FIGHT.
Administration Forces Prepar-
Ing for Attack BY Bryan
and Walsh.

international News Service.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 27.-The
wires between Democratic Chairman
Homer s. Cummings headquarters
and the White House buzzed today as
the Administration forces prepared 10
meet the hard, bitter night William
Jennings Bryan. supported by several
Democratic Senator'S, is expected TO
wage against the adoption by the
Democratic convention OF the Wilson
League OF National plank.
Bryan was busily engaged at an
early hour comforting with Democrat
ic leaders like Senators David /.
Walsh. OF Massachusetts,; James A.
Reed. OF Missouri, and Robert i.
Owen. OF Oklahoma.
"If Cummings thinks our fight to
prevent the Presidents proposal TO
have the league make the chief issue
of the campaign is going to be a fiare-
UP in the resolutions committee which
he can easily smother, he is going TO
be badly mistaken" Walsh said.
WALSH CAPABLE SECOND.
Walsh will represent Massachusetts,,
Bryan Nebraska on the resolutions
committee. Walsh is gifted with the
same kind OF fiery eloQuence for
which Bryan is famous. Walsh Is
fighter, like Bryan. During the long,
league. Walsh proved he could both
talk and night. 1t Is conceded by Ad-
ministration leaders that Walsh Will
make an able second to Bryan In car
rytng the league fight to the conven-
ton floor.
Cummings is bending every effort
to prevent the oratorical explosion
which Bryan and Walsh are threaten
Ming to cause in the crowded conyen-
tn
|.twheel horse desires to keep the
treaty battle confined to the resolu-
tions committee, for he knows that
verbal attacks by Bryan and Walsh
on the Administration league policy
will be given widespread publicity
and will be seized upo nby the Re-
publicans as demonstrating a split in
the Democratic party.
Cummings Is working to prevent
an appearance of a split. He wants
to. avert an open fight, to keep what
ever ruction is raised by Bryan and
Walsh and other anti-Administration
men behind the closed doors of the
room in which the resolutions COM
mittee will meet.
WANT GLASS AS CHAIRMAN.
The fight involves the Administra-
tion "slate" to make Senator Carter
Glass, author of the Administration
treaty plank, chairman Of the reso-
lutions committee. The Administra-
tion leaders say they will elect Glass
and incorporate the Administration
plank in a platform which majority
of the committee and of the conven-
tion will adopt. The majority rule
will prevail, they predict, and will
fight Bryan and Walsh and other anti,
men may wage. :
] iiEmfssary from Cummings sought
DIT Bryan and Walsh yesterday In an
effort to patch up q truce, and .see IL
an agreement could be reachedCon a
treaty plank. -
l;"My chief aim is to have treaty
plank incorporated in the Democratic
platform that will meet the situation
created by the declaration made on
the league in the Republican platform
adopted at Chicago, and that Will
prevent the Democratic party from
being placed on the defensive by hav-
ing to justify the Presidents attitude
on the treaty question" Walsh said.

MOTHERS and DOCTORS

Some doctors continue advis-
ing mothers to give babies and
older children raw milk, there
by inviting digestive troubles
and the possibility of milk
borne diseases.
We urge mothers to disregard
the advice and to give their chill
dren only properly pasteurized;
scalded. or. better STILL boiled
milk.
Such advice is today support.
ed by the best in the medical
profession. and by sanitarians
and professors of hygiene whose
aim is the prevention OF sick
ness. And we are prepared to
defend this position and will send
literature with proofs on dpplica-
tion to us.
Milk and cream are now more
generally pasteurized In the
United States under municipal
ordinances, and the practice has
everywhere resulted in reducing
infantile mortality and has i'm
proved generally health cond-
tions.
Washington expects TO have
before long q law by Congress
securing to It's Inhabitants, nota-
bly, It's children, safe milk and
