Senator Robinson As Permanent Cha
irman, Brings Jinny Demonstrations
As He Arraigns Acts Of the Repub
licans.
San Francisco, June 29. ? The Dem
ocratic national convention wound up
its preliminaries today and prepared
to get down to business tomorrow.
With administration forces continu
ing in apparently complete. control, It
perfected its organization accepting
Senator Joseph T. Robinson, of Ar
?*> kapeagr lte permanent chairman1;
permitted states to upset the unit rule
provided for taking wdmen on thf
Democratic national committee and
prepared for the business of having
candidates nominated bV adopting an
order of business whlfh will permit
' ths delivery of nominating speeches
before the platform id brought in.
noting for a nominee, however,
v, it' not be permitted befbre the plat
fotc: has been adopted by the conven
tioi'i.
With the slate thus cleared of pre
liminaries and arrangements set for
the principal business the convention
after a three hour session adjourned
jto resume at 11 o'clock tomorrow mor
ning.
What the -second session lacked <r>
__the dramatic fife of~the opeivtn]f~rtftvr
*t made up in the smoothly working
i nnirnl whlrh arimlnistrntiyi unppart
ers exercised. Anti-Wilson -contest*
such as that of Senator Reed, of Mis
souri, for a place on the floor," wero
ith ruthless hur . gnort
Even the "boos S6I
hisses" which greeted " mention of
Senator Reed's name &
.hsiswaflH tf ItftSSi iiL* _ ?
Delegates Good Xatnred.
The /announcement t. of "unanimous
vote" delivered by the chairman a fet
ble chorus of "noes" here and there
never failed to bring cheers and lau*
ghter from the masses of delegates.
The great auditorium was filled with
.even a greater crowd today thafi yes
terday. There, was no vacant 4?eat in
the impressive sweep or the galleries,
lising steeply in walls of faces on
thro* sh'es of the floor. Long before
the day's business could proceed tho
l.ubbub of conversation rumblecL and
mumbled a steady undertone to the
music of band and pipe organ. Boom
ers for Attorney-General Palmer or
Governor Cox took lively, if impromp
tu. part in* the entertainment. Sen
ator Robinson had a little difficulty
keeping the machine going at the pace
Mr. Cumming8 had set. There was a
little confusion on parliamentary pro
<iedure at times, ftnti-ance-Mt.
irings intervened to straighten out u
resolution to perfect the convention's
pla^ps to give women full and equal
representation on the national com
mittee. The committee women alrea
dy have been elected by many delega
tiona.
The delegates were still of a mind
for more pounding of the Republican
party and the Chicago platform when
Senator Robinson delivered his spee
ch as permanent chairman. He woke
them to uproarous approval when he
shouted that he made'Mno apology
for article 10" of the league covenant
To the accompaniment of applause he
lambasted the senate under Republi
can leadership for procrastination In
dealing with' the treaty and for its
rules that a senator can talk to such
an extent on any subject that "nobody-;
but God can stop him."
"The Shame bf the Senate."
, The chairman had gotten the con
vention up to a good pitch by ^tt^at
, down his face, from the effort to drive
his words to the farthest corners of
the big building ha leaned down over
the roped speakers' stand, aayJhg: /
"It if to the shame Of the senate,"
he shouted, "that U took a greater
time to defeat t?e treaty than the ar
my and navy took to win the war."
The delegates leaped to their feet,'
cheering. It was a minute before he
could b6 heard again, shouting: "And
they left the treaty right where It
was when the President brought It
hack from Paris."
Failure of the President* to take
with him to the peace conference
members of the senate had rankled
lt> some senatorial hearts, . Senator
.Robtnson continued, but he adde4
that* if the President had done so and
the senators had "shown no more In
telligence at the conferenccMn draft
ing the treaty than tjiey have shown
in Its consideration ? then God bless
Woodtow Wilson for leaving them at
-feme."
Again the delegagtes clamored thev
tr agreement.
Mr. Ouxnmings in putting: through a
i ?solution congratulating Governor
Robert*, of Tennessee, for having call
ed a special session of the legislature
to deal with the suffrage amendment
got cheers when he declared It unan>
lmous In the face of a mutter of neg
ative votes coming mostly from 'the
vicinity df the Georgia and other bou.
them delegations.
Women Against War.
"American women are for peace and
against W Mr," Senator Robinson tolrt
the convention. "And they'll vote fox
that if you give them the opportunity !
If you'll ada to the soldier vote the
woman vote and the Democratic vote
the Republicans won't get enough vo
tes to make them a factor in the com
ing election."
Another great shout of approval
went up to be redoubled in vigor when
the chairman closed his address with
the charge that ' the Republicans ha
ve* trifled with the hearts and con
science of the American people In
their handling of the peace treaty."
The dry lAaue got into the session
from an amusing angle.
An announcement that a corps oC
nurses and "sixteen doctors" were
conducting a hospital In the auditor ?
lum drew the Are of a delegate. "Dc
tbey write prescriptions?" be deman
ded in a voice that carried through
the hall. Galleries and floor jolnec
in a burst of Jaughter from ? which
pital corps this way" and the like
When he could be heard, the secreta
ry housed: .. v
"This is akdry: hospital," and the
| convention , rumbled again with mirth
Bootlne Cleared Away.
Various routine matters transacted
under the rules before the platform is
presented and nominating speeches
begun all were cleared away before
today's adjournment. The adoption of
the report of the rules committee fi
nally settled that nominations will
| not, be made until after a platform
has been adopted.
Candidates will lmow ? beifoyehamfr
what the principles of the party are
to be. Delegate? went back tonight
to the always engrossing task of gos
dates for rip'jplnp.tion pending comple
tion by the Committee of its difficult
task in shaping a ?rt*rt of pvjnc*ples
course in^he troubled political sea?

Georgia -and unseating Senator Reetl
of Missouri, received with prolonged
applause and adopted.

Isn't It True?
If a few of our most prominent cit
izens should propose that all busb
ness be suspended for a day, and that
everybody get a pick or a shovel or
some other Implement and all turn
out in a grand cleanup of the town,
what would be the result?
It would go with a whoop, over the
top and beyond. It would be a larJv
jelly and work like a hero.
But suppose the same gentlemOh
should propose that all business be
suspended for a day and that all male
citizens devote the day to cleaning ui>
their own respective yards and other
property. What would be the resuU
In that case?
Not the same, by long odds.
Possibly a few would take the
suggestion seriously, but a majority
would pass it by with a Jest or a smll*4
It would be no lark to work alone,
but only hard toll In the hot sun.
There would be no top to go over,
no spectators on hand to applaud,
and no dazzling In the spotlight of
publicity.
It would be foolish to waste an en
tire day In such humdrum manner,
when the old yard loo|u fairly wail
as It is.
Now isn't that true?
Some girls marry for lore and soiae
for money, but mott~ot them marry
