SAN FRANClSCO, JUNG ~
THIS convention is booked solid
for this week with a matinee on
Saturday, instead of having visit
ing days Tuesday and Thursday,
like any other sanitarium.
A FTER the political mountain has
- labored and brought forth a
candidate. the delegates will disin-
tegrate and sneak back to the en-
veloping shadows of home cooking.
There will ensue four more lean.
starving. badgeless years of exis-
tence. A delegate without his
badges is an awful thing.
DOB the peacock of his tail, strip
IN the Smith brothers OF their
whiskers. swindle Woodrow Wilson
of his daily veto, but don't touch a
hair on one of those delegates
badges. Like the crown jewels or
the Czar, they speak of the giories
OF the Democratic past, the anxiety
of the present and the hopelessness
of the future. Yes, bo!

The women have 104 votes In the

strength may hold the control In any
deadlock which arises.
"Women really come into their own
In politics today" said MIS- george
Boss, chairman of the woman's tu-

are about to play a really important
part In the selection OF candidste
for the Democratic nomination. am
sure that when the convention is emo
ed the part women have played VII,
have proved that women are ior an

More important than selection OF
the candidate Is the drafting OF Q

The Democratic women have al

the platform which they Will urge pc

which show just how progressive we
are. We have agreed upon liberal

convention must accept. We have
also agreed upon liberal pianks with

WARNS SUFFRAGISTS
OF OVER CONFIDENCE

SAN FRANCISCO. June 29.-Woman
suffrage advocates, at luncheon
given yesterday to Democratic women
Iby the San Francisco branch Of the
Civic Center, were warned against
by Mrs. Abbey Scott
Baker, of the National Woman's
lparty.
! Although elated over. the action Of
ennessee's governor in calling a spe-
hal session of the legislature for
gust 0, Mrs. Baker warned her
Hence that the fight far ratifica-
n of the woman suffrage amend

I, final vote is taken. Women
yrkers arranged to call next Thurs

accomplished under your sdminis-
tTation.
We rejoice In the recovery OF your
health and strength after months
OF suffering and affliction which
you have borne with courage and
without complaint.
We deeply resent the malignant
onset which you have most unde-
seryedly been called upon TO sus-
tain from partisan foes, whose
Judgment Is warped and whose per-
ceptions are obscured by a party
malice. which constitutes a lament
able and disgraceful page in our
history.
At this moment. when the dele
gates TO this convention from every
State In the Union are about TO
enter upon their formal proceedings
we pause to send an expression OF
cheer and admiration and OF con-
graduation.
We rejoice and felicitate you
upon your speedy recovery from
your recent illness and congrstu-
late, America that though tempo
rarily broken in body that you have
been able, with unclouded vision
and undaunted courage to press on
for the great reforms which you
have fathered. and for the preserva-
tion OF peace throughout the world
in the interest OF humanity and the
advancement of civilization. Long
may you live TO serve America and
the world.

The strongest thing he drew was
his grand old idea that women di1nt
know anything about politics ahd
couldn't ever learn. Well, if they
can't learn its because they haven't
left anything that anybody can teaoh
them. For Inferior. lowly creatures
that Providence designed to clean
skiilits and darn our socks and Eoep
still, the way they've caught the
curves of mans favorite and special
ized game is enough TO make you
gasp, believe me. There's something
uncanny about IL, or else this present
game OF ours isn't so much after all.
1t seemed such a simple. easy thing
to convince these novices, who. OF
course never saw the inside OF a con-
vention before. that lot OF these
wise men couldn't resist the tempta'
ton; but l haven't heard yet or q
case where they got away with H.
And the women had been coaching up
in the science and history OF lies or
they had an instinct infallible to de-
tect the specious bunk Anyway IT
didn't go.
PUTS 1T OVER ON OLD FOX.
A popular story OF the corridors Is
how a wise, old, male seer or the Pa

fox, put up a neat little game by
which he intended to get all the best
seats in the convention hall for the
men and keep the women In the back
ground. He put down his wires with
skill and confidence, and when he had
everything set pulled away and found
a local woman has been before him
and coppcd off every choice seat Tor
a woman. But / know better instan-
ces than that. i have seen here some
OF the most accomplished artists In
political flim-flam take to bunch OF

away>and then l have heard the wom-
en- talk about him, and l wouldn't for

They tore all his tricks to pieces and
hung them on the fence, and they did

tell you the truth, made noe shudder.
don't want any Of them turning that
kind of a scalpel on me, believe me.
HAVE GOT MEN RATIFIED.
There are eightyeight women dele
gates and two or three hundred
women alternates in this convention,
and I don't know why or how, being
unschooled in these mysteries, but
they certainly do have the women in
the Republican convention beaten
several days for Sunday. There's no
comparison. At Chicago the women
always seemed to be scared about
something. / don't know what; beinE
