WOMEN POSSESS
KEY TO DEADLOCK
104 Votes Looked on as I'm

By DAVID NJ. CHURCH.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S-DemO-
cratic women today hold a dominant po-
sition in the national convention, az"
cOrding to the women leaders.
The women have 104 votes in the con-
vention and by their combined strength

which arises.
in politics today said Mrs. George
Bass, chairman of the woman's bureau
Of the democratic national convention
For the hrst time women are about
to play a really important part in the
selection Of a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination.
IL am sure that when the convention
is ended that the part which the women
have played will have proved that women
are for all time a power in American
politics.
More important than the selection of
the candidate is the drafting of a plat
form, and I am confident that women are
going 10 have an influence In framing

success of the democratic party in 1920
Democratic women have already
agreed upon several planks for the plat
form. which they will urge before the
resolutions committee which show just
how progressive we are.
I'VE have agreed upon a liberal plank
FOR labor. which we feel the convention
must accept
I'VE have also agreed upon liberal
plank in regard to child welfare and
women in industry"
The democratic women are prepa ring

Herdman, today. following a conference
with Bryan, stated be was in a position
'to positively declare that Mr.. Bryan
will oppose the nomination OF McAdoo

Mr.. Bryan takes the position that Mr.
McAdoo IS really a candidate without
making any declaration - said Herdman
He feels that McAdoo should have
announced his position on the great is
sues that are before the convention and
does not feel that the party can afford
