ST. LOUIS. Feb. 12. The Rtpub
' lican national committee meeting to-
. day was a troubled one, and in an ef-
.'- fort to appease all factions, the vital
matter of the selection of a chairman
was postponed until 1:30 o'clock to
morrow aftlrnoon.
--The most reliable available figures
f Indicated 23 votes pledged to John
v T. Adams of Iowa, for chairman; 23
pledged, to Will B. Hayes, chairman
nf tho ' mtata iantrsit mmmlltM of
Indiana, with five votes non-commit-'
tal. -' ; :.-?- - .
, Fred Stanley of Kansas, who loom
' ed as a dark horse plainly during the
forenoon, disappeared as a candidate
H during the afternoon, largely by rea
t son of his insistence that he desired
to vote to the last for Adams.
' . ' Mr. AdaitMi -Vot Attacked.
.'The expected public attack on Mr.
Adams did not materialize. His
friends asserted that he was fighting
2, mad and they were with him. He was
, a good American, they said, and all
.' the fight In them had been stirred
by the allegations that ho had been
' a leader of pro-Germanism prior to
'the entry of the United States Into
fe-'tbe war. - :

A da m ild.
I can see nothing in what Mr. Ad
' ams baa done or said which wo ld
' disqualify him as a good American
-;or a good Republican." declared the
j. mayor.
'Free Speech Asked. Y
; Mr.' Thompson introduced a reso
" lutlon of some length which was re
ferred to -the committee on resoln
- tlons. It endorsed the constitution
. of the United States with regard to
.- free speech and assembly and called
for rigid adherence to the rules sep
arating the power of the Uglslalire,
executive and judicial departments of
f- thef ederal government, r ;
Rerference to the right of free as
sembly was said to-have been in
spired by the experiences of last fan
In the attempts of the "people- uoun
ciV Council of America for Democ
racy and Terms of Peace," to find a
meeting place. This aggregation
was ; foiled in attempts to meet in
Minnesota, Wisconsin. North Dakota.
South, Dakota, and Utah, but notwith
standing that Governor Lowden of
Illinois, had forbidden tne meeting in
Chicaeo. Mayor Thompson provided
police protection to permit the meet
ing.
In these matters Mayor Thompson
asked that "be it resolved" that the
constitution, as quoted in its pre
amble be strictly observed.
The spectacular feature of the
day was provided by the women.
It had been arranged that Mrs. Abbie
Scott Baker of the Woman's party
a latelv incarcerated white house
picket, should address the committee
In behalf of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment and that Miss Minnie
Bronson and Miss Lucy Price of the
organization opposed to woman suf
f rage, should oppose Mrs. Baker.
; Women Are Chagrined.
The anti-suffrage women, who In
eluded also Mrs. Henry Preston
White of Boston and Miss Charlotte
Rowe of New York, said that Cnair
man William R. Willcox had prom
ised that the committee would take
no action until they had been heard
from. What was their chagrin, they
said .upon being admitted to the
meeting place, to find the committee
had already voted a resolution com
mending the stand of five sixths of
the members of the house of repre
sentatives in favor of the Anthony
amendment.
The first speaker was Mrs. Baker.
She said that she was more than
pleased that the committee without
waiting to hear argument had voted
for suffrage. She said that It was
the initiative of the Republicans?
which had compelled the Democrats
to pass the amendment In the lower
house. '
The Democrats had to support It
or perish. For them there was but
one choice and they took it, said Mrs.
Baker.
Miss Bronson gained applause and
some laughter by an onslaught on
the good faith of the members.
Contmittee Is Attacked.
"I look around," she said, "for
the thirty members who last night
were opposed to suffrage. I wonder
what changed them! overnight."
Miss, Price, a former Ohio news
paper 'woman, now resident In New
York City, asserted that the commit
tee acted without right.
'The convention which named you
also declared for the determination
of the woman suffrage question by
states.! Your action, without' even
hearing us, was worse than a be
trayal of us who are opposed to suf
frage; it was an admission that party
pledges are made to be broken," she
declared. ;
Among the developments of the
day which obtained the approval of
the committee was the formation of
an association 'of chairmen of state
central committees. The organiza
tion was started by the chairmen of
the committees of Oklahoma, Illinois,
Texas,; Montana and Michigan.

-A banquet and1 a program of toasts
was the schedule yesterday for 'fath

quet was given at the Y. M. C. A
Justice I- T. Harris of the supreme
court was toast master. He Intro
dpced as he said , the appropriate
toast from the boys, "Our Dads" by
Dewey Probst.
Mr. Probst "began by saying that
sons owe their fathers love and
should give them such.
"Our fathers are spending their
time and patience on us." he said
and if a father gets out of oorts
with us, as sons we should take it
with the love and understanding that
exists between two of the greatest
of friends, father and son."
Max O. Buren was introduced, re
sponding tohe toast "Our Sons," he
said Salem, was an Ideal towji for
sons to live In.
j "It is one of the cleanest thinking
towns in the United States." said Mr
Buren. "Here in Oregon the boys
are 'given every possible chance of
development, schooling, ports, and
family love." Mr. Buren said that
he for one was porud of his son? and
that as they grew older he did not
know whether he loved them better
young or old. If be goes upon the
streets with a boy, Mr. Buren says,
be wonders what the other men he
passes think, whether they think of
whom he is with, and why he should
spend his time on 'a boy, "But no
matter who the boy is I consider him
just as much my friend as anyone
else," said Mr. Buren.
Seymour Jones toast was, "The
Sons in Uniform." "I am proud to
have a son now on the battlefront In
France," he said. 'A1I great ques
tions in Germany are settled by
blood and iron. If we don't defeat
Germany the whole world wilt be
under its heel. The United States
must win the war. Russia has de
serted us, 100 lost in the recent dis
aster of the Tuscania, hut this ICO
Is small In comparison with the mul
titude to be lost. Let us . resolve
that our sons and our. fathers shall
not have died In vain and that this
government using the words of Lin
coln, 'Of the people, by the people.
and for the people s, shall not perish
from the earth."
"The Homes of Enlisted Men.
wi responded to by Joseph H. Albert.
"All boys of mine are girls." he
said. "Such being the case I don't
know whether I am eligible to speak
or not. but I have adopted, a son and
think that I am nriveledsed to
speak. - I v .
"Never In this world have mothers
and fathers lain down, to sleep, as
they will ire down tonight hoping
and praying for the, safety of their
sons. Parents are glad their torn
are patriotic and they think in their
hearts of the good times, of the en
joyment perhaps never to be reenacl
ed. But one consolation Is, our sons
and that If they come back, or sever
come back, that they shall not have
gone in vain."
"From a Sons Point of View," was
treated by Leslie Springer. He be
gan by saying that he wondered how
many gray hairs "we have given our
father and how much sorrow we have
given our fathers and how much sor
row we have caused them. The world
Is ashamed of a son who- is ashamed
of his father. We should treat our
fathers as we love to treat them ac
rnenas, companions, and - counsel
lors." ' ;. .
"Getting Acquainted and Working
Together," was the subject assigned
Attorney General Brown. He said be
was a horticulturist "That Is." said
Mr.Brown. "I make my j money In
town and spend it in the' country. I
used to be a good lodge member

"In getting acquainted with your boy,
father wins his confidence." said Mr.
Brown. -"Parents should set an ex
ample of the clean, pure life."
Cards were passed about pledging
attendance of the fathers and sons
at .church next Sunday. Nearly all
were signed up In a moment.

sung by the assembly. Rev. Cart H.

Mr. Van romp said yesterday that
originally the government had wlrei
that returned stamped envelopes
would be furnished the farmers hot
later, by letter this was declined.
Although as It is strictly govern
ment work it hardly could be expect
ed that the farmers' would do tb
work of filling out these question-'
u a ires, wmcn are quite as complicat
ed as the blanks furnished drafted
men for the army, and then buy
Stamps for use in mailing back the
questionnaires, for the reason: the
answers will be mailed by the com
mitteemen. For that reason, he made out a
similar set of questions, using- Dart
or the ones furnished by the arovern-

by these different committeemen in
