Bryan's Profiteer Plank

State commissions, similar to the
federal trade commission, to prevent
profiteering are a feature of a plank
on profiteering proposed by William
j. Bryan. 1t is as follows:
"The democratic party pledges the
nation to rid it Of the profiteer and
to close the door against the return.
1t will endeavor to eliminate all un.
necessary middlemen by the encourage.
ment of organizations among producers
that will bring thaose who sell and
those who use nearer together. 1t
will enact and enforce laws that will
effectively prevent excessive charges

similar commissions for the investiga,

The clause to punish profiteering by
corporation officers, Mr.. Bryan said,
is designed TO meet court decisions
preventing prison sentences being i'm
posed on corporation officers.
Another plank, dealing with the
treaty of Versailles and the league of
nations, is to be made public tomor-
row by Mr.. Bryan. ---sa~--.l .i.-''-.

Suffrage Carpentry

Mrs. Baker said today that the
National Woman's Party was concern
ed chiefly with having Tennessee rat
ify the suffrage amendment and that
any mention OF suffrage in the plat
form was regarded as incidental. She
has prepared plank for the platform
as follows:
The democratic party indorses the
proposed amendment to the United
States constitution enfranchising wom-
en-, and calls upon all the democratic
governors of states which have not
ratified the amendment Immediately to
convene their legislatures so that they
may act upon the amendment; and
urges all democratic members of such
legislatures Immediately to vote for
the amendment TO the end that rati-
fication may be speedy completed and
women permitted nationally to share
in the 1920 elections"
Mrs. Baker announced that despite
the declaration Of Governor Roberts
Of Tennessee, that it would give him
pleasure to call a special session Of
the legislature tc consider the amend
ment, her organization would continue
to urge him personally to take imme-
date action. Incidentally if the Ten
nessee Legislature should ratify the
amendment, the woman's party i'm.
mediately will call n national conven-
tion in Washington to discuss plans
for the future, II may continue as a
party, or dlsintegrate. Whether 1t will
endorse any party or ticket is unde-
termined.

vention. but 1t is doubtful If more

Reiteratng his plea for Jail SEN

Mr.. Bryan referred to judges in
ability to impose Imprisonment on a

would seek to have the convention

Meets at Bugle Call

An innovation planned for the open
ing Of the democratic national con
vention today was the silencing Of
the great gathering by a bugle call
instead of the usual pounding with
the gavel. AS the bugle's notes came
to an end and the buzz of conversa-
ton on the floor ceased. a detachment
Of marines standing in front Of the
platform raised the national colors,
and presented arms. while the band,
high up behind the chairman, played
the Star Spangled Banner. The Tor
nual call to order by Vice Chairman
j. Bruce Kremer followed.
The arrangement was made by Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels. at the
suggestion of First Sergeant II. Horn
bostel, who is chief Of the secretary's
personal escort during his visit to
San Francisco.

Assemble at Noon

Assembling at noon today for their
first session, delegates to the demo-
cratic national convention heard
keynote speech by National Chairman
Cummings, and perfected preliminary
les clearing the way for the real work
if finding a presidential candidate.
Twelve o'clock noon was fixed for
the opening. but hours before ticket
holders gathered in the spacious build
ing. which, for the occasion, seats
more than 10000 persons. Those who
did not hold tickets were barred from
approaching the main entrance by
fences hidden by screen of ever
green.
Declarations of the convention hall
were simple an tasteful with the
Stars and Stripes as the dominant
feature of the beautiful display.
The seats Of the 1906 delegates are
compactly assembled close TO the plat
form, and stretch across the width or
the hall. Here and there stood the
state and territorial standards, made

The story of Governor Cox's divorce
10 years ago was brought into the
convention fight by publication in the
San Francisco Chronicle of a state
ment of the circumstances, ascribed
to Senator Pomerene and former Gov
ernor Campbell of Ohio.
The publication in the Chronicle
says that the Cox managers are in
dignant at the spreading of the divorce
story among delegates by certain OF
the governors political opponents, and
that Senator Pomerene and Mr.. Camp.
bell were busy all day explaining the
circumstances to delegates who called
at Cox headquarters to inquire.
Publication of the story, which has
been the topic Of some discussion among
the delegates since they started coming
brought out the first hint Of scandai
being used as factor in the campaign
created sensation.
Divercee Married Her Lawyer
The explanation Of the circumstances
of Governor Cox's divorce, as credited
to Campbell and Pomerene in today's
publication in the Chronicle declares
that when 10 years ago Cox was made
the defendant in a suit for divorce
by his wife, strong charges including
cruelty, but not including unfaith.
fulness, were used, although, the ex-
PLANTATION continued, the real cause
was incompatibility of temper. Mrs.
Cox, the publication continues, mar
ried her lawyer soon after, while Gov
ernor Cox married his present wife
and had one child. Two children By
the first marriage remained with
Governor Cox, while the youngest re-
mained with the mother.
Cox headquarters professed not to
be much disturbed by the publication.
Former Representative Ansberry. one
of the Cox managers, after seeing the
publication, said:

publication was not unexpected"

Leaders PREPARED for Fight

Delegates and leaders were prepared
for fight over both platform and
candidates as the democratic national
convention assembled today for its
opening session.
The actual convention Work itself
was only preliminary and perfunctory,
but the arrival Of convention day serv-
ed To bring further into the open the
questions which had been dividing
delegates and perplexing the other
politicians in their pre-convention poll
cies.
Keynote Speech the Feature
The keynote speech of Homer s.
Cummings, as temporary chairman
was the principal feature Of the days
program. Later in the day, the new
" elected convention committees were
to furnish the first real developments
as they began their tasks Of writing
the platform, hearing appeals for con-
tests over delegate seats, and MAX
ing up the convention rules and a
slate OF permanent convention off
GERS.
The livest subject in the minds of
the delegates. manifestly, was the i'm
pending prohibition fight, but talk
of candidates was gaining more and
more attention as the rival managers
got down to cases with the big body
Of uninstructed and unpledged dele
gates.
Battle Lines Drawn
Today for the first time the en-
tire convention personnel was here and
