NATIONAL COMMITTEE HAS
EVERYTHING IN READINESS
ST. LOUIS, June 12.—The demo
cratic national committee is ar
ranging plans for the party conven
tion here. A short convention Is
foreshadowed and an enthusiastic
one as well.
It is admitted today that the plat
form is practically completed.
The present plans involve an ad
dress from Wilson through a spe
cial wire from the White House, ail
arrangements for which are said
to have l?een completed. Wilson
will be the almost certain choice )f
the convention.
ST. LOUIS, June 12.—Former
Governor of New York, Martin
Glynn, has been selected to act as
temporary chairman of the Demo
tratic National Convention and will
be the party’s keynoter at the
gathering when he calls it to order.
Women are to play an important
part at this convention and in this
will present a striking difference
to the republicans.
It is evident, says the Post-Dis
patch, that the democrats are now
after the progressive votes and tha
I popularity of Wilson as second pre
' gressive choice in Chicago is the
I subject of a press article syndicated
I throughout the country.
The democrats are not afraid that
j they will lose Irish and German
| votes for they hold that Hughes can
never get any from Wilson because
he is more pro-German.
PHILADELPHIA, June 12.—The
German-American vote, it is posi
tively stated today, will go for
Hughes against Wilson. The policy
■which Hughes may adopt wit)j re
gard to foreign questions is frank
ly still uncertain, but it is believea
that uncertain as it is, it would be
preferable to that Wilson.
CHICAGO, June 12.—The Phila
delphia dispatch that the German
vote will go to Hughes is discredit
ed in well known German-American
circles because of the known fact
.'liar Morgan end Co. have been
Hughes’ greatest boosters.
CHICAGO, June 12.—There is
Httlo chance that the progressives
will support Hughes. They assert
that Roosevelt has broken faith
with them and regard their former
leader as a deserter. It is mposs
ible to describe the complete change
in the attitude towards hint that has
taken place in the ranks of the Bull
Moosers.

President Wilson and Charles Ei.

part in tho preparedness parade thai
is now being arranged for the capi

Congress, it is also stated, will have

' tionably be conspicuous by their ab
sence and the declaration is made
by one of the most prominent demo

mistake that the party leaders are
now making is underestimating the
anti-preparedness strength through

is enormous.
