I'lank Is Rejected.
' COLIB-EUM, St. Louis. Mo.. June 1.
Speclal.) Had the Oregon delega
tion to the Democratic Convention
elected anyone other than II. M.
.easterly b.s iemocmuD nauoiuu
Committeeman, they would have been
obliged, under a rule adopted by
the convention today, to undo their
work and present the name of Mr.
Esterly. One of the closing acts of the
convention was to adopt a resolution
requiring- that where the laws of
state provide a manner for selecting
jsatlonal committeemen, the state law
shall be binding- on the convention and
on the National committee. This rule
would have required the Oregon dele-
Kates to present the name of Mr. Est
erly, regardless of the. wishes of the
Individual delegates.
Eeterly Namei Proxy.
When Mr. Esterly was named by the
delegation a telegram was sent asking
him to come at once to St. Louis. He
replied that he would not be able to
come and telegraphed his proxy to C.
8. Jackson, of Portland, sitting as an
alternate. When the delegation learned
this, they sent Mr. Esterly another
wire, advising that he give his proxy
to some member of the delegation.
preferably to George A. Lovejoy, who.
as a member of the committee to no
tify the President, is obliged to re
main in the East.
Lovejoy was one of those who fought
Mr. Esterly in the delegation, and Mr.
Esterly. replying to the delegation's
second telegram, asked that his proxy
be turned over to Judge A. S. Bennett.
If C. S. Jackson could not serve. Mr.
Lovejoy attributes Mr. Esterly's hos
tility to Postmaster Frank S. Myers.
Mr. Lovejoy will go to Washington
tomorrow to await the notification of
the President. He also will hold the
proxy of C. B. Jackson and with that
proxy will represent Oregon at the
notification of the Vice-President.
Suffrage Plank Rejected.
The woman sufrage plank submitted
to the resolutions committee by Judge
Will R. King, at the instance of Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Catt was rejected last
night by a majority of two votes, and
the plank adopted today was substitut
ed. The vital difference is that the
plank adopted recommends extension
of suffrage to women "by the states on
the same terms as to men." This
rhraseology Is a sop to the Southern
delegates, who have fought suffrage
on the theory that it would enfranchise
the negro women of the South.
The Oregon delegation also lost out
lw- im otttrtrif tn pot intrt Vi nlatfnrm
a plank favoring the raising of addi
tional money to carry forward the work
of Federal reclamation in the arid and
semi-arid states. Instead of such a
declaration, the platform merely says:
"The policy of reclaiming our arid
lands should be steadily adhered to."
, Most of the delegates from Oregon
and other Northwestern states will
leave for home tonight or tomorrow.

be the party of Nationalism and
Americanism was totally forgotten
and the heroes of secession were glor
ified and principles of state sovereign
ty eulogized.
Senator Stone and other orators
sought to calm the excitement of the
states' uplifters by showing that the
proposed plank did just what they
demanded, left the whole business to
the states. Indeed it was made quite
clear that the delegate who in the
convention voted to recommend suf
frage to a state expressly reserved
in the right as a citizen of a state to
reDudiate his recommendation as a
delegate. Of course everybody ought
to have Deen satisixea wita mis aumir
able solution of a most vexatious
nroblem. Nevertheless an immense
lot of bad feeling was aroused.
The majority plank was adopted
because it was the programme, just as
t.ViB minoritv would have been xf it
had been offered by the leaders.
will not be so impolite as to call
them bosses. They hardly rise to that
plane. They are all mere automatons
of the one big boss at wasningxon.
The convention from first to last has
registered his absolute will.
He made the piattorm. ae select
ed the officers. He named the can
didates. He outlined the keynote
speeches. He controlled everything
all the tune. That is tne reason tne
proceedings were unusually monoto
nous.
Th woman suffrage matter waa per
mltted to transpire because President
Wilson thought it wise to assume no
responsibility.
Clamor for Bryan la Beard.
Yet. while Wilson has been the
kaiser, czar, dictator, engineer and boss
of tne convention all summed in one,
the Democratic heart beat true to
Brytn. More than once the noisy and
universal clamor for Bryan interrupted
the easy progress of the machine, and
tin stoDoed it altogether.
Bryan received an ovation when he
first entered and took his modest seat
in press row, again after the prelim
inary organization again yesterday,
when he was formally brought to the
platform, and spoke, and again today.
This last time he arose quickly and
left the LalL apparently to spare the
managers the embarrassment of his
Dresence. He has had a difficult role
tn nlav. but he has played it.
He has seen what a vast blunder
another tribune of the. people, belong
ing .o another party, made by aban
doning it in the mistaken idea that
he was great enough to found a party
of his own. and Bryan has stayed and
suffered, not in silence indeed, but ye
he has stayed.
Party Fears Wllaon.
When a speaker today said Colonel
Roosevelt "was ol blessed memory"
the convention laughed huge pleasure.
That appears to show how genuine
was the suggestion made the other day
to hold the outcast Progressives to the
Democratic breast. Whatever else is
true, the Democratic party has no
home for Roosevelt.
I wouid not say that the democracy
does not like Wilson, but I know it
loves Bryan Just as the Progressives
do, or did, Roosevelt and the Repub
licans als did and probably will again.
The Democrats admire Wilson, respect
him, fear him, follow him and adore
another. It's a fine family situation.
Nor did I see any evidence that they
were enthusiastic over Wilson's chief
policies of internationalism or Ameri
canism, or preparedness, or Mexico, but
they want to win. From the speeches
of sundry keynoters In the convention,
from the gossip of delegates, and from
general atmospheric pressure I deduce
that the Democratic campaign will fol
low these principal outlines: God bless
Wilson. He kept us out of war. Happy
mothers. Bright firesides: Peace: Pros
perity; Americanism; Preparedness (a
little); Mexico (forget It.)

Sirs. Carrie Catt.
ST. LOUTS. June 1. Leader of both
the Women's Party and the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa
tion tonight united in denouncing as
Inadequate the suffrage plank of the
Democratlo platform and declared
thev would resume immediately their
light in Congress for National recog
nltlon.
- "We shall return to Washington a
quickly as possible." Miss Ann Martin,
chairman of the Woman's Party, said.
We are going to give the Democratic
Congress one more chance to make
rood before adjournment. If it does
not see fit to pass a constitutional
amendment war will follow.
"Some of the Democratic leaders pre
tend to see a declaration for National
suffrage in the plank they have given
us. I do not so interpret It- But we
shall give congressional leaders every
chance to read that interpretation into
it if thev want to. I regard tne
Democratic plank weaker than the Re
publican. The preamble of the latter.
at least, la regarded by soma as giv
ing National indorsement to suffrage.
"Good Fight" la rremle4V
"Thus far we have worked out d e-
talls of our plans for fighting tne
Democratic party this Fall, for we
have hoped that the congressional
leaders will see the light. But if they
continue to oppose us. we shall fight
them. And it will be a good fight.
too. We have 4,000.000 women voters,
$500,000 in cash, a good cause and a
determined spirit. With all of these
we cannot help but win."
Immediately after tne aajournment
of the convention, Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Catt, president of the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa
tion, called a special meeting of her
National board and later issued tne
following official statement:
No suffragist who was present ai
the convention today could . misinter
pret either .oe speeches or the action
taken by tae Democratlo party in
adopting the alleged woman suffrage
plank in its National piattorm.
"The Democrats adn-itted freely In
their speeches that political exigency
demanded some kind of a suffrage
plark." and they thought to hoodwink
the women by a Jumble of words that
were designed to meet the situation,
but in no cense succeeded.
Women Declared Antagonistic
"The so-called suffrage plank which
they adopted, after bursts of eloquence
that were fax more frank than intel
ligent, cannot be expected to win the
Presidential campaign for them, but
it may well be expected to win the
antagonism of millions of men and
women voters in all parts of the coun
ty. .
"If tL plank adopted today is tne
President's choice the world may Justly
accuse him of descending to the tricks
of th- cheapest politician in order to
bid for votes by flaunting a plank that
may b-i interpreted 'n as many ways as
there are people."
Mrs. Catt also sent the following
telegram to President Wrllson:
"Inasmuch as Governor Ferguson, or
Texas, and Senator Walsh, of Montana,
made di-.metricaliy opposite state
melts in the Democratic convention to
day with regard to your attitude to
ward the suffrage plank adopted by
the convention, we apply to you di
rectly to state your position on the
plank and give your precise interpre
tation of its meaning.
"CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT."
The Nationals will hold another
meeting.

NEW YORK, June 16. Frank H
Hitchcock, who returned to New York
tonight from the lake region of Wis
consin. where he went after the close
of the Republican National Convention
at Chicago, declared that he is not
candidate for the chairmanship of the
Republican National Committee.
"Regarding the chairmanship," he
said, "I am not in any sense a candi
date for the position. No man who has
gone through the gruelling experience
of conducting a National campaign is
likely to seek that responsibility again.
Ihe nominee appears to be giving
the question of the chairmanship mos
careful consideration, and I am sure h
will make a wise choice. Whoever is
selected will receive my hearty sup
port. I am tremendously anxious to
see Mr. Hughes elected President, be
cause I believe it will mean a restora
tion of National prestige and honor.
In my Judgment, the surest way to
bring about his election is to have the
campaign conducted by a campaign
committee composed of Progressive as
well as Republican leaders. To win
it will be necessary to rally to support
of our nominees the voters in both
wings of the party."

said, until details of the San Ignacio
raid are available. It contains no
statement, it is said, that should arouse
hostility unless General Carranza is set
on bringing on a clash with the United
States.
As to withdrawal of the American
expedition, the note coincided with the
platform declaration by which tho
party pledged itself to maintain armed
forces in the borderland of Mexico until
there remains no probability of bandit
raids on American towns and ranches.
It emphasized today In Administration
Quarters that the plank left no way
open for a change of purpose in that
regard. It may be several days before
full information regarding the San
Ignacio raid is at hand. Intimations
that Carranza officials knew something
of that affair have been received and
are being Investigatea.
Recent troop movements in Chlhau-
hau state have led officials here to
fear that the de facto commanders
were preparing for some hostile move.
The Mexican forces are distributed in
