M’ Combs Opens the
Convention at St Louis
ST. LOUIS, June 14.—M’Combs
today opened the Democratic con
tention, which after listening to the
introductory address from him,
heard ex-Governor Martin Glynn
keynote and then adjourned because
of its being Flag Da'y.
M’Combs signalized the occasion
by roasting in unstinted language
the policy of the republicans which
was confined to nothing more sub
stantial than criticism of the Demo
crats. M’Combs declared that they
had endeavored to foist a wave of
depression to discredit the demo
crats; to disparage the peace policy
so that they might appeal later to
an anti-war party; to deride the pre
paredness program so that they
might appeal directly to a jingoistic
militarism and others whose neu
trality was no neutrality at all.
Martin Glynn in the Keynote
speech seized upon Flag Day to
arouse the patriotic enthusiasm ot
the delegates and he certainly suc
ceeded, repeatedly the delegates
cheering themselves hoarse,
especially when Wilson's
name was introduced. The
first reference to the President
brought the shouting throng to
their feet, while flag waving among
the delegates produced as well a
picturesque effect. The Keynote
speech was prolific in such demon
strations.
The Suffragettes were on the plat
form, and they made a silent de
monstration of their cause by lining
Locust St. tor two miles between
Jefferson Hotel andt he Coliseum
Club with their colors of white and
gold that was possibly more im
pressive than an active procession
The adjournment was forced be
cause of the Flag Day celebrations.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14.
President Wilson in his Flag Day
cpeech after the conclusion of the
Defense Parade made another attach
upon hyphenates. He frankly
warned the foreign born of the
consequences of their acts, and sa d
that aliens and hyphenated citizens
were trying to blackmail both Am
erican parties in order to aid other
governments than the United
States.
