Pays Tribute to Wilson as

Glynn Pays Tribute to W ilson as
One Splendid Figure of the Time
The man who is president of the United States today has measured
up to the best traditions of a great office.
Me has been wise with a wisdom that is steeped in the traditions
of his country, with a wisdom that has been disciplined by training and
broadened by instruction.
He has been prudent with the prudence of one who has within his
hands the destiny of a hundred million people.
He has been firm with the firmness that proceeds from deep con
viction, with the firmness that is grounded in a duty well defined.
fie has been courageous with the courage that places country above
self, with the courage that follows duty wherever it may lead.
He has been dignified with the dignity that is self-forgetting and
self-respecting, with the dignity that conserves the majesty of the great
est office in the world.
He has been patient with the patience which believes and trusts
that truth crushed to earth will rise again, with the patience that can
endure and wait, watch and pray, for the certain vindication of justice,
humanity and right.
He has been patriotic with a patriotism that has never wavered, a
patriotism that is as pure and strong as the faith that moved the fathers
when they made our country free.
No president since the Civil war has had as crucial problems to
solve; and no president has displayed a grasp moe sure, a statesmanship
more profound.
Assailed by the wolves of privilege, he has pulled their claws and
drawn their teeth.
Assaulted by partisan envy, he lias shamed his traducers into
silence and made friend and, foe go forward together in the paths of
national progress.
He has fired our patriotism with a new ardor; he has breathed into
our ancient traditions a new vigor and a new life.
He has added strength to America's courage and mingled mercy
with America's strength.
He has fastened the brakes of justice upon the wheels of power;
he has lifted the mists from the temple where our liberties are en
shrined. And when the history of these days comes to be written, and the
children of tomorrow read their nation's story, when time shall have
dispelled all misconception, and the years shall have rendered their
impartial verdict, one name will shine in golden splendor upon the page
that is blackened with the tale of Europe's war, one name will represent
the triumph of American principles over the hosts of darkness and of
death.
That name will be the name of the great president who has made
Democracy proud that he is a Democrat, and made Americans proud that
he is an American.
It will be the name of the student and the scholar who has kept
his country true to its faith in a time that tried men's souls; the name
of the statesman who has championed the cause of American freedom
wherever he found it oppressed; the name of th patriot who has im
planted his country's flag on the highest peak to which humanity has yet
aspired; the name that carried the torch of progress to victory again;
the name of Woodrow Wilson, president and president to be.
From "Keynote Speech" of Martin H. Glynn delivered at the
Democratic convention today. The text of this remarkable address will
be found on pages 6 and 7 of today's Journal.

Chief Executive in Flag Day
Speech, Says Small Body of
Men Attempting Blackmail,
Washington, June 14. (U. P.)
President Wilson this afternoon Issued
a practical challenge to foreign dis-
loyalisls of this country to defeat him
in the forthcoming election.
Standing in the shadojv of the great
monument to the first president and
addressing one of the largest crowds
ever assembled at Flag day exercises
here, the president declared that a
small but very active body of foreign
born "disloyalists" were attempting a
species of blackmail In connection with
the coming election.
"There is," he declared, "disloyalty
active in the United States. It must
be crushed out. It proceeds from a
small minority of not only foreign born
citizens but from a very active and
subtle minority which works under
ground, but occasionally throws its
ugly head Into full view.
"These people are now trying to levy
a species of political blackmail, declar
ing "Do what we want you to do In the
interest of our side in the war or we
will wreck you at the polls.'
"America will teach these people
that loyalty to the flag is the firs:

FOREIGN DISLOYALISTS
CONCENTRATED GAZE
OF 5000 WOMEN FOR
BALLOT PLANK TRIED
Suffragists Line Approach to
the Democratic Convention
Hall; Silent Two Hours,
By Karl A. Kickel.
St. Louie, Mo., June 14. (l P I A
concentrated battery of iOOO pairs cf
feminine eyes was turned upon t.ie del
egates' to the Democratic nationa.1 con
vention today in an appeal for "votes
for women."
The attack, staged by the National
Woman's Suffrage organization, head
ed by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. is to
be the most spectacular event of the
suffrage campaign before the conven
tion. Five thousand women, voiceless,
motionless, with steady gaze, for two
hours tried to stare a supposedly some
what unfriendly national convention
out of countenance, and into an atti
tude of meek receptivity.
Dressed in white, with a yellow sash
across their shoulders and a yellow
parasol over their heads, the women of
the national association formed a
golden lane from the Jefferson hotel
to the Coliseum. Between the ex
tended ranks of the women soldiers
for the ballot. Democracy, headed for
Its quadrennial powwow had to walk
or ride.
The women stood about two yards
apart along the 12 blocks between the
hotel and the Coliseum. Between the
standing women was a reserve force
of 2500, seated on chairs. The work of
"standing up for suffrage" was done
in shifts, the women sitting relieving
their sisters at intervals.
That the resolutions of the conven
tion will recommend a modified suf
frage plank, along somewhat tho same
lines as the recently sawed off one to
fit the Republican platform at Chicago,
is believed generally at the headquar
ters of the national organization.
Down in the lobby of the Jetf -rson,
where the "direct action" members of
the new National Women's party have
their headquarters, they figuratively
stamp all over the proposed plank.
"If Democracy loves us," queries
Miss Ann Martin, national chairman,
"why doesn't it quit flirting and begin
to show that Its intentions are serious'!
The Democrats can enact the Susan B.
Anthony amendment in a week If they
wish. We don't want promises; w
want them to deliver the goods."
The belief that Secretary Daniels Is
seriously considering leading a fight
for a plank in the Democartic platform
directly Indorsing the adoption of the
Susan B. Anthony amendment, and the
fact that Senators New land and Pitt
man of Nevada have also swung into
the contest on the side of the woman's
party, gave the "direct action" suf
fragettes new hope today.

Nebraska Statesman . Ap

Hurries to Congratulate Him
St. Louis, June 14 (I. N. S.1
"Great, great," said William Jennings
Bryan, in summing up ex-Governor
Glynn's keynote speech before the na
tional Democratic convention. When
Glynn declared that while the Wilson
policy may not satisfy the fire eaters
or swashbucklers, that it satisfied the
mothers of the land, Mrs. Rasmussen,
a delegate from California, jumped to
her chair, waving a big golden Cali
fornia pennant. 1'p with her came the
ertire California delegation. In a sec
ond the entire convention was on its
feet cheering.
Then the crowd demanded that
Glynn repeat his remark, and he did
so. And once more the convention got
beyond control.
Here Bryan arose and waved a big
American flag, while big tears ran
down his cheeks.
Glynn Was again forced to repeat his
remarks about Wilson's foreign policy
before he was allowed to continue.
When Glynn concluded, Bryan hur
ried to the platform to congratulate
Glynn on his speech.
"It was a great speech, ".he said,
wringing the hands of the former gov
ernor of New York.
"You were applauded," he added,
"just at the. right time. You placed
the issues clearly and squarely. Your
sentiments regarding neutrality were
just right and magnificently ex
pressed." Communication Is Cut.

RUSSIANS TAKE TOWN
OF SN1ATYN, GALICIA,
Evacuation of Cernowitz by
Austrian Forces Is Now Ex
pected Hourly,
Petrograd, June 14. (I. N. S.) The
war office today announced that Rus
sian troops have occupied the town of
Snlatyn, in Galicla, capturing 20 Aus
trian officers, 6000 men, 6 cannon and
10 machine guns.
London, June 14. (U. P.) Kovel,
next to Lemberg the most Important
railroad center back of the eastern
Austrian line, is now with Lemberg
and Czernowitz in Bukftwina, one of
the immediate objectives of the Rus
sian drive. Its capture would provoke
a serious embarassment to the lines
of the Germans toward Riga and those
of the Austrlans to the south.
The Russians have approached Kovel
closest in the territory of Lutsk. Fur
ther indentation of the Austrian line
here would give them an opportunity
to gain tneir objective by both a fron
tal attack from Rafalwka and a flank
ing" attack from the south.
Czernowitz is still in the b'ands of
the Austrians but its evacuation ia
hourly e.ipected. Russian cavalry has
already driven past It about 10 mllea
to the north.
Russian Operations Proceed.
Petrograd. June 14. (I. N. 8.)
General Bruslloff's operations on the
flanks of the Auslro-German army
under General von Linsingen are pro
ceeding with wonderful repidity.
All ef forth of the German reinforce
ments to drive in a counter wedge at
the wings and apex of the Russians'
Rovno salient have proved ineffective
The Russians have scored impo-tant
successes west or uuono, capturing
Domidovka, making an advance of 20
miles. Domidpvka places the Russians
in command of the forest region, a nat
ural stronghold, of which the Ikwa and
Styr rivers form immense moat pro
tecting it on two sides.
Highly important results have been
obtained at Zalezezyki and at the
confluence of the Strypa and the
Dniester. The Russians captured Jas
nowic and drove the Austrians be
yond the .Strypa. Then, moving along
the northern bank of the .Dniester,
they captured Potok and Sclanka and
are threatening Koroplco.
Monarch Mill, Long

Guy M. Standifer and James F
Clarkson, the new operators, are both
experienced lumbermen. Mayfield
Btandifer will act as business manager,
and a Mr. Merrick, who was formerly
manager of the Monarch, and who has
