T NEVER TOUCHED YER-BANJO

permit his name to be put before the democratic convention divided interest here today with the arrival of leaders of the Gov. Cox faction and declara- ton by Mrs. Abby Scott Baker of the National Woman's party Our party will demand that the demo. crats give us the thirty sixth state" Mrs Baker said. "In other words that they use all their influence to add the one ratification by state legislature of the national suffrage amendment to the con- st!tution in order to make suffrage a national law. A resolution in the platform will help but instructions by the powers that be in the democratic party to those lower down is what will count most of all"
 Mrs Baker, who is one of the women who directed the picketing of the White House, charged the republican conven- tion with having dodged the suffrage s- sue. In Vermont and Connecticut there are republican majorities in the legisla- ture which would ratify the amendment or instructions from the party leaders she said.
 Mrs. Antoinette Funk of Washington D. C., who has been working in behalf of MT. McAdoo, said that his announce ment was something that had been feared for a long time.
 we who are friends of MT. McAdoo and most anxious to bring about his nomination, have known for months that he would be apt to make a statement of this nature,'' she said.
 "As matter of fact he prepared a. sim liar statement before this, and his friends induced him to hold it up.
 He has never given anyone permission to place him in nomination, and although some of us have taken steps to that end it has been with the understanding that it would be necessary to get his accept ance.
 However. I have heard him say many times that if the people. through their delegates, called upon him to take the nomination, it would be his patriotic duty to accept"

 Adoo supporters here last month,
 which was attended by Jouett Shouse,
 assistant secretary of the treasury
 Daniel C. Roper, former commissioner
 of internal revenue; Frank R. Wilson former director of the liberty loan pub licity, and others.
 CARTER FIGHT BEGUN
 Coincident with MT. McAdoos an nouncement that he would not permit
 his name to go before the convention,
 MT Shouse issued statement saying
 that an active fight" would be waged
 for the nomination of Senator Carter
 Glass of Virginia, who has been looked
 upon as the certain choice to head the resolutions committee at San Fran cisco.
 Mr. Shouse declared that the move
 ment for the nomination of Senator
 Glass has already reached formidable proportions and that "a number of the most loyal McAdoo men" had declared that they would exert themselves to the limit on behalf of Senator Glass Mir. Glass was one of the administra
 ton leaders in the House of Representa- tives until he resigned to become Sec retary of the Treasury when MT. Me
 Adoo retired While in the House he
 fathered the federal reserve and farm loan acts and since his appointment tc
 the Senate by Governor Davis early this
 year to succeed the late Senator Thomas s. Martin he had supported the President in the treaty fight. It was Senator Glass who framed the Virginia democratic platform with the League of Nations plank which Presi- dent Wilson recently publicly ap- proved and which is expected to form the basis for the league plank at San Francisco. The Virginia delegation has been in structed to vote for Mir. Glass at San Francisco.
 ELEVEN CONTESTANTS The elimination of MT. McAdoo nar- rows the field to eleven contestants so far now known.

SILK MILLS SLOW DOWN.

Silk mills In cities like Providence, Rhode
Island are running on three-day week while
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of shutting down
for while The explanation is that people
have satisfied their silk needs for time and
ceased to buy, and the reflection of this condi-
ton may be seen in the marE-down of prices on
silken fabrics in shops throughout the country.
This is the law of supply and demand which
can be interfered with only to slight extent.
In ordinary times business can adjust itself
somewhat closely to the normal demand; but
the billions Of new money put in circulation and
the universal rise in wages produced a situation
which misled the manufacturers into overpro-
duction which outran the market demand.
How far stocks of other commodities exceed
the peoples buying power remains to be seen,
but articles of luxury are naturally affected
