NMCATTONM lust night were
that the Democratic national

Arraigning Individuals and alli
ancea seeking to embarrass the Uni

relations.
Condemning parties which change
their policies for fear of political
consequences.
Demanding recognition of Ameri

(Assoclatsd Prss by Vedarml Wtrslsss.)
ST. LOTIS, June 1".. To the
music of a more of bunds and
amid the shouts of thousands of
persona, the Democratic national con
veatioa opened for business one minute
past hslf-paxt twelve o'clock yesterday
noon and for two atrenuoua hours
cheered itself bourse applauding thn
sentiments continued in the sddress
of former Governor Martin H. Glynn
of New York, tempornry chairman, as
be sounded the keynote of the party's
campaign "peace, prosperity, prepar
edness, with W ilmn aud Marshall."
The convention lacks the zest of for
mer Democratic gatherings and of the
Republican urn! Progressive conven
tions of lust week, us there, ia absent
the element of contest aud surprise.
Kveryone here known just about what
is going to be done by the gathering
before it finishes its labor. Kven the
vine-presidential boomlcts which start
ed merrily in the pre convention hours
died aborning us soon ns it was Warn
ed that President Wilson wished to
have Vice -President Marshall as his
running mate in tlie coming campaign.
The platform committee has almost
rnmidetcd its work, mid indications last
jiigbt wi re that the reports of a special
attempt to appeal to the Progressive
voters bv means of progressive planks
in the platform will lie fully substan
tiated when the platform finally is fin
ished aud submitted to the convention
for its action.
Platform Reflects Wilson
It is essentially a Wilsoniun docu
ment. The President lias indicated
what he wanted to go into its construc
tion and the platform carpenters have
done the work. Indeed, for the most
part it was done for them liefore New
ton I). Baker, secretary of war and
Mr. Wilson's personal representative
on the convention floor, left Washing
ton. But little was left for the platform
eommittee to do. Home tinkering on
the planks relating to the foreign af
fairs pf the eountrv remains unfinished.
It is understood that the completed
document will contain no direct refer
ence to the Mexican situation. It will,
however, deal with the rights of Amer
icana, at home and abroad, and will
urire the creation of an international
peace tribunal with power and author
ity to put an end to all future wars.
Into internal nfTairs the platform
will go moje fully. It will cull for the
creation of u reserve for the army and
navy, large enough to protect the I'nit
ed Htates ugninst nuy unexpected for
eign aggression. In this the platform,
it is said, will follow largely the dif
ferent speeches made by Mr. Wilson
during his recent preparedness cum
peign. Eight Hours For Labor
An eight hour day for labor, will be
another plank in the platform. This
has p. n and a little discussion, but
there is apparently little doubt of its
going through and receiving the ap
proval of the convention. The plub
form will ulso cull for the establish
ment of a civil service pension system,
and will attack child labor.
The suffrage plank, it wui asserted
last night, will follow in the main the
line or tbe plank adopted by the Re,
Publican convention, which approved of
frorojaa suffrage in principle.
Jn the important ami so-cauru
" Americanism plank" the hand of the
President is most plain. It will r
' raign sU persons and alliances which,
ty seeking to aid some foreign govern
ment, succeeds in embarrassing our
own in carrying out of negotiations
nith foreign bowers. It scathingly at
tacks the "political partr which modi'
fies or dinners its policy for fear of
political eonseooenees. " or for the
sake of Dolitical emediencv.
The insertion of this piank is said
to have been at the special request of
the President who. it was announced
last night, intends to throw down the
uaiintlet to all Americans of foreign
birth who are active in opposing his
foreign nolicies. This move, it was as
serted, will bring the "hyphen issue'
to the fore in the Democratic cam
pajgn.
Convention Is Harmonious
The ehief feature of the convention
appears to be the absolute harmony
that prevails. Prior to the srrival of
William J. Bryan, former secretary of
state, it waa thought in some quarters
that Bryan, who undoubtedly is still ft
factor of Considerable weight in the
councils of the Democratic party, might
deadlock the convention on some of the
platform planks which the Wilson
leaders consider most important.
There was talk of a fight by him to
secure the introduction of a peace plank
ii nd of a prohibition plank, either of
which might have stirred up trouble,
but ao far as could be seen lust night
all danger of this, if not past entirely,
is at least negligible.
Ho there was nothing but harmony and
support for Wilson and the Wilson poli
cies when the convention opened. The
weather was warm, but the day was
cloudy and the delegates in the highest
of high spirits. They could talk of
little but their program of "victory for
Wilson and .Marshall," and -their eoaftV
.dew in thf re-election pf the President
and ice-rresideni was great.
Hon. Martin H. Glynn, chairman of the
New York state delegation, deliver
ed the keynote address. Glynn is one
of the most eloquent speakers in the
Democratic ranks, and as he sounded
the Democratic keynote, thn delegates
broke into sustained applause.
McCombs Opens Convention
William F. McCombs, chairman of the
national committee, opened thn session,
and introduced Mr. Glynn as temporary
chairman of the convention.
Almost immediately 11 r. Glynn had
the delegates upon their feet and cheer
ing loudly by his declarations of Ameri
cnuism, and his assertion that tne pou
cy of the administration as to neutrali
tv is as American as the American flag.
caused another demonstration. When
he predicted the re-election of Mr. Wil
sou the convention rose in a body and
cheered until the building shook.
"We entered the hall as Democrats,
let us deliberate as Americans, he de
clared. "The business of this conven
tion is that of speaking for every ra
cial strum in America a message to
the world that will leave no room for
doubt as to where America stands.
"We have preserved neutrality for
this nntiou and the men who are true
patriots at heart know it and support
the government. ' '
Foreign Policies Extolled
Review ing the President's conduct
of foreign affairs he asserted that
President Wilson has stood with Wash
ington, Adams and Grant, who "pre
served peace with honor."
As un inspiring prelude to the meet
ing, a monster gathering of suffragists,
estimated at 8000, formed the much
heralded "('.olden Lane" of twelve
blocks long on Locust street to the
Coliseum entrance. As the visitors and
delegates passed through this lane, the
suffragists applauded them, me ue
monstiution was to promote woman s
suffruge planks in the Democratic putt
form.
The credentials committee yesterday
afternoon settled finally all the con
tests before the convention, upholding
the national committee, and overruling
the cuiitcstnnts from the District of
Columbia and the Territory of Hawaii.
This means thut John H. Wilson has
been definitely seated aa national com
mitteeoiaii from Hawaii and M. C. Ps
cbeeo, elm 1 1 inn n of the territorial cen
tral committee, has been given a place
upon the resolutions committee. W. P.
.(arret t has been defeated.

WASHINGTON, June M. Wltk
PmiAwnCiWilso on foot and in the
leadx. great civilian preparedness par
ade, numbering more than seventy-five
thousand marchers, moved through the
streets of the espitol elty of the United
States yesterday, at the same time that
similar precessions were marching In
I n Anveles and Omaha. In the Call
for n la eity 54,000 men were in line and
Omaha turned out 30,(MH) for tne mon-
Utr nrneeanlon there. '
The procession sere, wsiea meiaami
en. women nnd children, marched
from the White House to the Capitol,
along historic Pennsylvania avenue.
The narade was Partly in honor. of
Flag Day, but the chief object, and
the reason why president wuson too
personal part, was to emphasise the
need for preparedness industrial, mili
tary, naval and financial fo anything
that miffbt tome upon the Nation.
Mr. Wilson carried a flag, which ha
waved to the cheering throngs that
lined the street, filled the overlooking
windows, and even turned black the
cornices of the houses along the route.
Everywhere be was greeted with cheers
of approval, and everywhere be ans
wered he cheers with smiles and re
newed waving of the flag he bore.
Owing to a decision reached by Bee'
retary Daniela and Secretary Baker,
head of the navy and war departments,
neither soldiers nor sailors appeared U
the parade. It bad been decided, that
they had no place in what was consid
ered a purely civic demonstration. Sec
retary Daniel, however, marched in the
parade, heading a division composed of
employes of bis department.

WAKH1KUTON, June 14. It was
learnnd last night that the admiaistra
tiop officials are planning to despateh
note to the de facto government of
Mexico soon, probably later in the
week.
It was declared that the note will
point oiH the lack of the cooperation
bv the Carranzistas with the Ameri
can troops which waa promised by the
de facto sovernment 's representatives,
and to other failures on the part of the
Carranzistas to live up to theiT. agree
ment.
A feeling is growing among the offi
cials here that Carranza must soon do
minute the situation in Mexico, or else
face the alternative of confessing bis
inability of doing so.
It is understood that President Wil
son has approved the plan of despateh
ing the note and will give it bis per
sonal attention before it goes.
