present convention If the resolution
is adopted..
When the question of approving the
temporary roll came up it was an
nounced that several states were
short their full delegation and the
question arose how the vacancies
shall be filled. After a general dis
cussion a motion was made by Thomas
B. Love, Texas, authorizing state dele
gations to fill vacancies. The motion
was tabled after several committee
men eaid their delegations would fill
vacancies to suit themselves. New
Hampshire and Deleware were among
the states that had delegates absent.

liminaries for the opening of the
national convention next Monday. It
was the plan of some of the leaders
to have the contests heard by sub
committees. The committee decided to seat R. R
Turner as a delegate-at-large from
Oregon, who had been named by the
state committee to fill a vacancy
caused by 'death. John L. Schuyleman

Turner. Turner was selected as dele-gate-at-large

Silence on Prohibition Issue Is to
Be Recommended.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 25. The
women members of the executive
committee of tne democratic national
committee today decided to recom
mend that no reference be made to
the prohibition question In the plat
form to be adopted by the convention.
It was also agreed to recommend
that President Wilson's stand on the
peace treaty and league of nations be
approved.
The following planks submitted by
the labor committee of the women's
bureau of the democratic national
committee, Mrs. Robert Bruce Buere,
New York, chairman, were adopted:
"We affirm the right of collective
bargaining between employers aqji
employes through representatives of
their own choosing. We approve also
the national industrial councils es
tablished by employers and employes
within the various industries, the
findings of which shall have the ef-
feet of ordinary collective agreements
but not of judicial decisions subject
to compulsory enforcement.
We insist on the abolition of the
labor of children under 14 years and
that children between 14 and 18 shall
be permitted to work only after
passing examinations by local school

Schuyleman announced he
would carry his case to the creden
tials committee.
Jrlmnry Vote Held Disregarded,
Schuyleman in his protest sets forth
that he had received 10,439 votes in
the state-wide primaries but that, not
withstanding this fact, 13 members
of the Oregon democratic state cen
tral committee had met and filled the
varancy by naming R. G. Burns, a fed
eral office holder of Roseburg. The
animus of the committee's action, he
declared, was opposition to president
"Wilson, of whom ho has been a loyal
supporter.
An editorial appearing In The Ore
conian on June 21 was cited in sup
port of his case. The charge that he
lias been a socialist was answered
with the statement that he had voted
the democratic ticket for the last 24
years and that he had never voted the
socialist ticket. Mr. Schuyleman said
further:
"Permit me to say that no individual
group or party has a monopoly on
democracy. Democracy is a principle
and is us impossible of monopoliza
tion as the multiplication table.
EmharraNMinent Is Foreseen.
"Webster defines democracy as
form of government in which supreme

We reaffirm our belief in the

"We urge that the Federal Trade
commission be given greater powers
over the basic food industries of life.
'We advocate the development of
a national system of employment of

organization of a voluntary labor
corps for harvesting with transpor

"We advocate the extension and
development of the bureau of women

Some embarrassment for the na

AUDITORIUM, San Francisco, Cal.,
June 25. The democratic national
committee today unanimously . agreed
to send a teletrram to Governor kod
erts of Tennessee urging a special
session of the legislature to ratify tne
federal suffrage amendment, Dowow
insr is the telegram:
The democratic national committee
at its meetings held today by unani

We most earnestly emphasize the

millions of women throughout the
country are turned toward Tennessee
as the one state that can and will en
franchise them prior to the November
election by becoming the 36th state to
ratify the suffrage amendment. We
trust that for the present all other
legislative matters may, if necessary,
be held In abeyance and that you will
call an extra session of the leglsla
ture of your state for such brief dura

ably upon the amendment. Tennesse
occupies a position of peculiar and
pivotal importance and one that en
ables her to render a service of incal

under your leadership and through
the action of the legislature of you

be given the privilege of voting i

Heed Contest on Schedule.
The Georgia contest involves 28
votes, while In Missouri the question
is whether Senator James A. Reed,
opponent of the national administra
tion on the league of nations, shall
be seated In the face of his rejection
by the Missouri state convention.
Reed was re-elected by the fifth Mis
rourl district after his rejection by
the state convention, but it is claimed
the action was illegal.
Clark Howell, leading the A. Mitchell
Palmer group of delegates in Georgia,
said ho would take only ten minutes
to present his side of the case. Sena
tor Hardwick wanted 30 minutes. As
some of the committeemen had early
evening engagements, it was decided
to take up the Georgia case tomorrow
Equal Vole to Be Granted,
An important action by the com
mittee was the unanimous adoption of
a recommendation to the national con
vention that each state and territory
be represented in the national com
mittee by one manor one woman.
The committee also decided to" give
the Panama canal zone representation
in the convention. This will give the
canal zone representation in a demo
cratic convention for the first time if
the delegates are seated by the cre
dentials committee.
There was a buzz through the com
mittee room when Francis M. Wilson
United States district attorney for the
western district of Missouri, presented
the certified action of the "democracy
of the fifth Missouri district" in elect
ing Senator James A. Reed a delegate
to the convention. He asked an op
portunity to present the facts to the
committee and was informed that
he would be heard at the proper time.
It is understood the seating of Senator
Reed will be considered by a sub
committee. On the suggestion of National Com
mitteeman I. B. Dockweiler, Califor
nia, the convention will be asked that
when it adjourns on Monday It be
until 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon in
order to permit the visiting delegates
to take a steamer excursion Tuesday
morning.
Some Deifications Short.
The committee adopted without dis
. cussion a resolution to be submitted
to the national convention providing
that hereafter each state and terri
tory be represented in the national
committee by one man and one woman
to be selected according to state laws
or party rules where no state law
covers the election of national com
mltteemen. The resolution also pro

$1000 IN GOLD IS FOUND
Discovery Is Made by Man Repair
Ing Roof.
NEW YORK, N. Y., June 25. (Spe
cial.) -Charles Smith took a day
to repair the roof of his house on
Ocean avenue. East Rockaway, L.
which was leaking, and while pokin
about among the rafters in the attic
he found a bag of cold coins aggre
gating $1000.
The bag is believed to have been
hidden by Mrs. Jane Abrams, Mrs.
Smith's mother, who died in 1906. She
distrusted banks and it is thought
she either forgot the existence of the
bag of corns or died before she could
reveal its hiding place.
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25. (Spe
cial.) If you happen to know any
body who can be elected president of
the United States send in his name
and the democrats here gathered will
ominate him.
If you have in mind a platform that
will sweep the country send it along
and the same gentlemen will adopt it.
That s all they want a man who
can win and a platform he can win
on. .
But, curiously enough, tiiere ifn'i
nybody around here who. seems to be
absolutely sure about either.
Charles Francis Murphy, for ex
ample, thinks that Governor Cox of
Ohio could be elected providing the
platform has nothing about glucose
in it.
Diplomat Gerard's Idea.
James W. Gerard believes that any
man who was ambassador to Ger
many during the first years of tno
reat war and who repeatedly shook
his finger at the kaiser could be
ected almost by acclamation.
Bainbridge Colby contends that the
way to get republican and progress
ive votes away from Harding is to
nominate a man who has been a re
publican and a progressive but who
for the present at, least is a demo
rat.
William Jennings Bryan hasn't got
here yet but he has wired ahead stat
ng his experience as a candidate and
pointing out that this is no year to
entrust the party standard to a
novice.
Altogether there are 16 candidates,
f you include the incumbent of the
presidential office, which everybody
does.
That's What Worries Them.
In fact, it is the incumbent who has
got them all worried.
His silence on the matter of hi
candidacy Is embarrassing them pain
fully. They don't want to nominate
him and they don't want to offend
him. They don't like to indorse him
and they don't want to repudiate him.
And the fact that they will have to
do one or the other if their platform
Is going to be anything but a lot of
words is making them very, very un
happy.
The convention proper begins Mon
day. But a democratic convention al
ways starts as soon as delegates ar
rive and most of the delegates are
here.
In their eager, earnest faces you
can see the desire to name a good
ticket and to write a good platform
and to show the G. O. P. that taking
the government away from the demo
crats is far harder than keeping it
away from them used to be. , .
Right Man Hard to Find.
They are all agreed that Harding is
poor candidate and that it will be
easy to beat him, if only tney can
agree on the right man for the job.
That's all that s worrying them the
right man. But somehow or other
they can't find out who he is or where
to find him. So if you know or such
candidate send in his name. Your
choice will have just as good a
chance of getting the convention be
hind him as anybody s. But you 11
have to be sure that he is on the
right side of the league of nations
question and the liquor question and
the labor question. You 11 have to be
the judge of which the right side of
these questions is. The delegates
confess that they haven't found out
yet.

be discussed and an - effort -will be
made to obtain unity of action upon
them. Mr. McNab pointed out that
the states and territories westward
from and including Montana, Wyom
ing and Colorado would have a repre
sentation in the convention . double
that of the larrett state.

DAVIS' FRIENDS AGGRESSIVE
West Virginians Begin Work lor
Ambassador to Britain.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25. The
West Virginia delegation arriyed
here tonight and went aggressively to
work for the nomination of its favor
ite son. John W. Davis, the American
ambassador, to Great Britain. His
strength, they declared, would become
apparent after the opening ballots
had demonstrated that none of the
leaders could be nominated.
Governor John J. Cornwell, who
will make the nominating speech, is
sued this statement:
"Mr. Dav'a would be an ideal, can
didate lor many reasons. He is one
of the roost forceful speakers and de
baters in America. His great, al.ility
is universally admitted. His charac
ter could not and would not be ques
tioned. There are no antagonisms, no
objections could be urged except that
he is a democrat.
"The public is in no mood to vote
for or elect any man merely because
he is a candidate of any political
party. This is not a politicians' pe
riod. A man to win this election must
face the rising and not the setting
sun. He must stand not only for the
right but be able to make the people
understand him. Mr. Davis would
be able to do that."

quarters California had been counted
on to support a wine and beer plank.
Many planks dealing with Irish
freedom have been called to the at
tention of the party leaders, and it
was predicted that many conflicting
counsels on the subject would be laid
before the platform committee. At a
conference in the offices of the Amer

ence, however, an greement was
reached by representatives of several
Irish-American bodies to stand to
