i hanges were made in the draft as
submitted by the president. They were
on the Mexican, suffrage and tariff
planks. The main fight came on tlis
declarations as to suffrage and Mex
ico, but with the draft completed,
Sciator Stone announced that tt.o
president thoroughly approved the
oocument as finally drawn.
The fight on suffrage lasted five or
sir hours. It was between the western
and NOuthern states. Judge King of
Oregon, Judge Raker of California and
Senator Pitt man led the fight for a
thorough going indorsement.
Governor Ferguson of Texas and
Governor Stanley of Kentucky led the
light against it. The opposition was
largely from the south. The plank Is
practically the one advocated by tiie

Carrie Chapman Catt, but it does not
meet the approval of the radical con

"Woman's party."
