“In both candidate and platform
the Democratic party is going to be
as progressive and positive as the
Republican party is reactionary and
evasive. In short, we are going to
accept the Republican challenge,
both for reasons of patriotism and
political expediency. It is the irre
vocable determination of those who
will control the Democratic conven
tion to give the voters of the nation
a chance to choose between Harding
and government in the interest of big
business, and a forward-looking man
and government in the interest of all
[ of the people.
“The nomination of Harding, in
the brutally frank way it was
brought about, and the adoption by
the Republicans of Jim Watson’s re
actionary platform, have given the
Democrats their golden opportunity
and we are going to take advantage
of it.”
I expressed my delight and sur
prise and called my friend’s attention
to the fact that up to now all the
talk in the hotel lobbies and candi
dates’ headquarters had been about
booze.
“I know that,” replied he, “but I
that is mostly propaganda by the’
liquor people. They are making their,
last stand here, trying to capture the
Democratic party for the purpose ofj
opening up the liquor issue. Take it
from me, they won’t succeed. If the I
Democratic party at this great crisis
in the affairs of the world and the
nation should permit itself to be used
for this purpose, it would be defeat
ed and discredited and would deserve
to be. Imagine a presidential cam-1
paign being waged in this country at'
this critical juncture on the issue of
whether or not the prohibition
amendment is to be enforced. If
liquor is even mentioned in the plat
form it would be the paramount issue
of the campaign. For that reason
if for no other, it will not be men
tioned. The booze propagandists are
going to find that they have wasted
their money and their efforts.
“Some of the most patriotic and
wisest men in the party have been
at work for several weeks preparing
the tentative draft of the platform.

If any of the dark horses at the Democratic National Convention win
by a hair it may very possibly be due to the efforts of either Mrs. Idah Mc-
Glone Gibson (left) who’s rooting for Attorney General Palmer, or to Mrs.
John Weir Troy, national committeewoman from Alaska, who’s for any
body that’s for the land of sourdough.
Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Troy were matching wSmari’s “crowning glory”
in bidding for the attention of delegates.
“I’ll bet mine’s the most fetching,” said Mrs. Gibson, displaying a wealth
of silvery white hair. “It’s just like mother used to have.”
“Yes, but mine will get me more at the convention,” retorted Mrs. Troy,
revealing a stunning coiffure of red.
1 have seen some of the planks, in
fact, helped to prepare some of them.
“The plank on the league of na
tions is explicit. It backs the Presi
dent to the limit and makes the issue
with the Republicans as clear-cut as
possible. The voters will have a
chance to decide between going into
the league and having America do;
her share in world rehabilitation and j
world peace, or staying out and arm-i
ing 'to the teeth, which is the Re
publican alternative.
“The platform will be equally spe
cific on the vital subject of taxation,
high cost of living, the relations be
tween the government and national
public utilities and the relations be
tween capital and labor.
“On all these subjects the platform
will give expression to what we be
lieve to be the sane, progressive sen
timent of the country without going
into the dreamland of socialism.”
There seems to be little, if any,
doubt that the majority control of
the convention will lie with the ad
ministration.
This means that President Wilson s
friends will have their way as to the
organization of the convention ma
chinery for, while it take two-thirds
of the delegates of a Democratic
convention to nominate the presiden
tial and vice presidential candidates,
all other convention business is by
majority vote.

Mabel Abbott Finds 10,000 Female Reporters.
1 50,000 Lobbyists, and
100 Delegates
By MABLE ABBOTT
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.
The most exact figures obtainable
today show that
that there are 100
women delegates
and 150 women
alternates in at
tendance at the
Democar tic na
tional convention.
Unoffici a 1 fig
ures compiled by
myself after a
morning spent at
the wo m e n’s
headquarte r s of
the national com
mittee, indicated
that there are at
least 10,000 wo
rn e n re porters
and 150,000 women lobbyists.
1 wanted to interview some of the
women delegates. The room was full
lof women, conferring earnesly in
groups. I edged up to one of them.
“Is this the conference of the wo
men’s planks?” I inquired. She
turned an intelligent eye on me.
“No.” That was a closed conference
she said. “Reporters were exclud
ed,” she added.
“Can you tell us now what action
is taken?” I asked. “I should say
not,” she sniffed. “I’m a reporter
myself.” I subsided on a sofa be
side an alert-looking lady. She smiled
encouragingly at me. I asked her
how the women stood on a third term
for Wilson.
“That’s just what I want to find
out,” she cried.
“Are you for him or against him?
What’s your state? Are you a dele
gate or an alternate? Do you
think—”
“I’m just a reporter,” I managed
to insert. “If you could tell me—”
She caught my shoulder and shook
me. “So am I,” she giggled.
But the reporters are not as nu
merous as the lobbyists. There are
women here claiming to be “work-

ing” for everything from presidential
candidate and the league of nations
to dairymen’s associations. Some of
them are doing recognized and effec
tive work, and have made them
selves factors to be reckoned with;
but it is impossible for others. They
sit around headquarters, waiting for
somebody; they act mysteriously;
they talk about anything and every
thing except the thing they finally
tell me they “represent,” when you
pin them down to a statement of
why they are at the convention.
Anything like a confidential chat
usually ends in an inquiry whether
you know how they could get into
the hail for a “little while.” In short,
it looks to rhe as if women have ap
propriated another of the ancient
rights of men—the right to hang
around a convention just for the fun
® thing; and most any excuse
will do.
WOMEN FOR EXCLUDING
LIQUOR FROM PLATFORM.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.
The women members of the executive
committee of the Democratic nation
al committee have decided to recom
mend that no reference be made to
the prohibition question in the plat
form to be adopted by the conven
tion.
It was also agreed to recommend
that President Wilson’s stand on the
peace treaty and league of nations
be approved.
The following planks submitted by
the labor committee of the women’s
bureau of the Democratic national
committee, Mrs. Robert Bruere, of
New York, chairman, were adopted.
“We affirm the right of collective
bargaining between employers and
employees through representatives of
their own choosing. We approve also
the national industrial councils estab
lished by employers and employees
within the various industries, the
findings of which shall have the ef
fect of ordinary collective agree
ments, but not of judicial decisions
subject to compulsory enforcement
MAB£L ABBOT ’

“We insist on the abolition of the
labor of children under 14 years,
and that children between 14 and 18
hall be permitted to work only af
ter passing examinations by local
i school and health authorities, assur
ing proper standards of health and
education.
“We affirm our belief in the prin
ciples of the Democratic platform of
1916, and again urge the general
adoption of the eight-hour day.
“We believe that wages should be
put on a basis of service, not of sex,
and that minimum wages should be
fixed which will insure to all wage
i earners a proper standard of health,
, comfort and efficiency.
“We urge that the Federal Trade
Commission be given greatest power
. over the basic food industries of life.
“We advocate the development of
, a national system of employment of
fices under control of federal and
’ state boards, to meet the problems
of seasonal requirements of agricul
ture we urge the organization of a
voluntary labor corps for harvesting,
with transportation subsidies.
“We advocate the extension and
development of the bureau of wo
men in industry established by the
Democratic party in the department
of labor. We also urge the appoint
ment of women on all government
boards and tribunals dealing with
industry and labor.
“We recommend the protection of
womanhood and infancy according
to the best modern experience."
A resolution urging the establish
ment of a department of education,
with a cabinit officer at its bead, also
was adopted.
