present as delegates or were repre-.
sented by proxies.
The inability of the Republican
party to deal with this question ef-
fectively is illustrated by a story: A
man went into a clothing store, and
when the merchant wasn't looking,
put on a coat and ran out. As he
went out the door the merchant
caught sight of him and gave chase
calling to the thief to stop. This fail
ing, the policeman drew a revolver
and threatened to shoot. The mer-
chant became excited, and grabbing
the policeman, said, Policeman, il
you do shoot, shoot him in the pants
the coat belongs to me-"
The Republican party can't find
any place to shoot. The profiteers
who were not present at Chicago are
here, but they are not so numerous,
and our party will therefore find il
easier to deal with the problem.
THE PLANK HE'LL PROPOSE.
I do not anticipate much difficulty
in securing an explicit condemnation
OF profiteering and a pledge Of spe-
cific remedies that will prove effec-
tive. / have not been able to con-
fer with the other members of the
committee but shall lay before them
as a basis for action a plank some
thing like the following:
The Democratic party pledges the
nation to rid it of the profiteer and
to close the door against his return.
II will endeavor to eliminate all un-
necessary middlemen by the en-
couragement of organizations among
producers that will bring those who
sell and those who use nearer to-
gether. 1t will enact and enforce
laws that will effectively prevent
excessive charges by such middle
men as are necessary.
To this end it will demand legis-
lation subjecting to the penalties of
the criminal law all corporate off
GERS and employees who give or carry
out instructions that result in ex-
tortion; it will make it unlawful for
any one engaged in interstate COM
merce to make the sale of one arti-
Gle dependent upon the purchase of
another article, and it will require
such corporations to disclose to Gus
toners the difference between cost
price and selling price or limit the
profit that can be legally charged,
as the rate of interest is now limited.
II will also endeavor to create in
the several States trade commissions
with powers as ample as the Federal
Trade Commission and to enact laws
authorizing EACH local community to
create, as needed, similar commits
sions for the investigation of local
charges Of profteering.
While the above would seem TO
provide sufficient remedies, suggcs-
tions will be welcomed from those
0ho have given the matter attention.

STEAM ROLLER
Delegates Much impressed by
Way Convention Flattened
Senator Reed.
By MRS. GEORGE BASS.
tWrtttes Exclusively fer Istersa
ttossi News sepvtee.)


SAN FRANCISCO. June 2s.-Ths
women on the Democratic national
committee had their nrst glimpse of
power here when they were interested
listeners In the hearings given the
contesting Georgia delegations. and
the advocates and opponents OF
Senator James A. Reed OF Missouri.
The committee room was full to
overlooking, and there was the usual
oratory as the hours wore on: but
nobody got tired or remembered that
the time for lunch had come and
gone. The interest In the Georgia
situation was not SO keen, but when
the committee took up the Missouri
situation the atmosphere changed in
stantly.
Many delegates hoped that tho
policy OF open sessions would prevail;
but when put to a vote, the previous
action of the committee. calling for
action in executive session, was sus-
tsined.
When the attorneys appearing for
and against Mr.. Reed had concluded,
Mrs. w. w. Martin, of Cape Girardesu,
Mo, was called on to present the
situation from the standpoint OF the
voting woman. Her speech met a re-
campaigner proud-after IL was over,
one of Senator Reeds representatives
told her she had turned the tables.
II was not the speech OF a vindic-
tive woman getting even for long
arrears OF Misrepresentation. Mrs.
Martin made 1t clear that Senator
Reeds anti-suffrage speeches and
votes and his open hostility to the
participation OF women in politics.
had not hing to do with her position.
She appealed to the statutes and the
party rules. and the three to one vote
by which the State convention re-
pudiated Senator Reed and refused to
accept him as a representative Of his
district, after they had refused him
the coveted nomination as delegate
at-large, and she made IL apparent
that the women of her State resent
the attitude OF their senior senator
toward the present administration far
more than his Sights and slures level
ed at the woman voter and the would
be woman voters of the nation.
Little by little, men are becoming
to realize that women have arrived
politically. and that their point Of
view must be considered. They might
forgive-indeed many OF them have
forgiven those who were not their
friends. but they are and will remain
less lenient with those who have
been the open critics OF the admin
istration. They are taking their
democracy very seriously. and with
them "unfaith in aught is want OF
faith in all" 20 '.r. 80 -..--
