'PetticOdt Politics. Dead Words,

SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.-That

vention.
Male politicians, even the strongest
anti suftragists, are finding that there IL
no such thing as "petticoat politics.
for the very reason that the women are
jumping into this political game In man

This convention is a liberal education
for male politicians.
You may take that from Miss Julia
Landers Of Indianapolis, national commit
tee woman from Indiana.
Said Miss Landers today:
DO you know that for the first time q
whole lot of men are finding out that
women are not shallow little creatures 2
The women have certainly shown here
that they have breadth of mind and an
ability to grasp great issues. This work
Of education isn't complete yet. Watch
the women four years from now.
And my, how independent these fe-
males are after nearly an hour of debate
in a caucus in trying to determine just
how far they should so in asking favors

Tentative Draft
of PLGnks for
Frisco Platform

SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.-Here-
with is presented an authoritative
forecast of essential planks in the
tentative draft Of the democratic
platform, which probably will be fin
ally adopted within the next twenty
four hours:
stated In these dispatches. the famous
Virginia platform. which undualifedly
indorses President Wilson's league of ma
lions, is the model of the foreign relations
plank, the changes being for the purpose
OF making the document more simple and
comprehensive, the altered phra seoIOgy in
no way modifying the meaning OF the
original paper. Article 10 stands intact.
The plank purports to declare that
nothing in the covenant may be con-
strued to take from the United States
the control OF her own troops, that no
international questions Of interest to the
United States alone shall be surrendered
to the league Of nations; that the Mon
roe doctrine shall not in any way be az
fected by tha covenant. Unless some
change is made after the subcommittee
has submitted the platform to the COM
mittee on resolutions and platform the
plank viii stand exactly as President
Wilson. as represented here by Senator
Carter Glass, would have IT, There was
much time spent by the subcommittee
In discussion OF shades OF meaning Of
words and phrases, but there was no
serious effort TO disturb the essential
meaning.
LToUoR-The indications are that the
prohibition plank win be bone dry. The
prevailing thought In the subcommittee

that the liquor question was a dead is
sue TO a majority of people who have
accepted the dry condition and do not
desire return to liquor selling, but
there was sentiment to write into the
platform a statement in reference to
personal liberty rights, with condemna-
tion Of legalized espionage by prohibit
ton agents, forcible entry of homes for
evidence OF liquor violation without,
however, permitting the language 10

lax and permit an era OF winking at

LABoR-The labor planks are con-
strued by members OF the committee as
highly progressive" strong argu-
mcnt was made to recognize the right of
labor TO be represented In collective bar

choosing" The last four words, 1t will
be remembered, were the rock on which
the presidents industrial relations COM

The demands of labor for restricted
immigration were not favored. but rather
the open door was to be proclaimed to
