PLANS FOR CONVENTION

PLANS FOR CONVENTION
Washington, Jan. 9.-Plans for the
democratic national convention at
San Francisco were discussed by
Chairman Cummins and other men,
bers of the national committee here
today. The committee on arrange
ments for the convention probably
will be announced today Or tomorrow
WILSON EMPHASIZES THE DUTY
OF AMERICA
President Wilson, in his message to
the Jackson Day dinner here last
night, said the "clear and single way"
to determine the will of the American
people on the league of nations is to
make it an issue at the next election.
The presidents message said moth
ing whatever about third term for
himself, neither did he say even by
implication or intimation that he will
not be a candidate. as has been widely
forecast.
The greater part of the message
was devoted to expression of his argu-
ment that he considered it the duty
OF the United States to join the
league of nations covenant. and to
telling why he considered the war not
really won until it did.
Another attempt to crush the new
nations of Europe would be made, the
president said, if the United States
held aloof
BRYAN SPLITS
VIM. j. Bryan split openly with
President Wilson at the Jackson Day
dinner on whether the democratic
party should make the league of ma
tions an issue of the next election.
The president advocated submitting
the question, while Bryan conceded
the right of the republican majority
in the Senate to dictate the Senate's
course, and declared the democrats
must face the situation and either ac-
cept "such compromises as may be
possible" or make it an issue in the
election, which he objected to as
meaning IA months delay and then
success only if the democrats get two
thirds of the seats in the Senate.
Reviewing the past and suggesting
a program for the future, Bryan said
he ventured to suggest "three new
propositions" They were:
A national system of roads extend
ing in every state and to be known
as the national "Peace Way" both as
a utilitarian project for binding the
states together in commerce and in
tercourse and as memorial for the
soldier dead.
A national bulletin. not newspa
per, to present national issues, under
bipartisan control.
Initiative and referendum. which hi
declared the democratic party might
well adopt as it's "next great reform.

A MINE BOY ADVANCES

George Thorpe went to work as a
pit boy in the English coal mines at
the age of eight years. He worked
in the mines until he was thirteen. He
then went in wooden mill. He used
his spare time to study and read. He
educate himself, and presently enter
ed the cooperative movement. AS a
working man he soon saw the impor-
tant relation of cooperation to the la
Dor movement. He not only was a
member Of society, but he was will
ling to assume responsibilities and to
prepare himself to carry those respon-
sibilities. He was chosen by his fellow
co-operators to occupy many positions
Of trust, and always proved his ability
to perform the service that was expect
ed Of him.
Now this former mine boy has been
elected president of the British Coop
erative Wholesale Society, which does
Ia business Of $500,O00,000 . year.
The former pit boy is the directing
head Of BUSINESS of the workers that

The cooperative store and the co-op-
erativo bank will become our most
powerful weapons to fight the open

its enemies. Five successful cooper
alive stores are now in operation in
this state. with Others being organized
