News that Mr. Morgenthau was booming Secretary Baker created something more than mild discus sion, for it was pointed out that Mr. Morgenthau had been close to the Administration and that it might in dicate the naming of Mr. Raker would not be unacceptable. Mr. Mor genthau hastened, however, to make it clear that he was. urging Mr. Baker's nomination on his own re sponsibility and initiatively solely, with the desire of naming the strong est possible candidate for the otfice. National chairman Mi-Combs said tonight that he had received a tele gram from Jacob Sohiff. the New York banker, asking thai a stronger candidate than Mr. Marshall shall be named and Mr. Morgenthau also stated that he had received a letter Jrom lr.c.hi.fX...CMntaini.nv.a..isii.iiilar Talk that Secretary Maker's name would be presented, for vice-president caused questions to be asked as to whether they had ' considered Mar shall.

Hope was high in suffrage circles tonight that the Democratic convent ion will . ineurpn rate an equal rights plank of some form in its platform. No official declaration of the con vention's intention was forthcoming hut suffrage, leaders regard the , at titude of many Democratic leaders toward their cause as friendly. Suf frage leaders tonight had made tenta tive arrangements for a hearing by the resolution committee on their de mands, probably on Wednesday, and were in an optimistic mood. Mrs. Arthur Dodge of New York, leader of anti-suffragist forces, is here to make a determined stand against any favorable mention of equal rights in the platform. National chairman Mi-Coombs said tonight that she prob ably would be given the same amount uf time as the suffragists. The National American Woman Suffrage Associa tion and the Congressional I'nion and its auxiliary the women's party, will divide the time equally for the plan, - Members of the . National-associa tion were elated tonight to receive a telegram from Senator Borah, who assisted in drafting the ltepublican platform, decalring that the suffrage plank was intended to indorse equal suffrage unqualifiedly, the telegram .ays the plank recognizes the right of each State to settle the question itself lint it does not declare against the taking away of that -right. Sarah Bard Field of Oregon, a lead er of the women's party, today tele graphed an appeal to President Wilson for aid in getting the Anthonv amend ment through Congress and promis ing the support of herself and live other speakers ln the campaign if it is given. "This is not sent you in a spirit or bargaining." said .Mrs. Field's mes sage, "to that you would turn a deaf ear.

CONST HTT ION Declares Supremo Ctmrt Judges Should be Tnelig ihle to Any Political Of fice ; Criticises- r Progres sive Platform. (By The Associated Press) Pt. Louis, June 12 Senator Stone, who is to be chairman of the reso lutions commission of the Demo cratic convention!, i issued a statement today, calling the Republican plat form drafted in Chicago a remark able culmination" with '!! half the legislation it demanded already enacted and the other half now be ing .worked out by the Democratic .party.. Senator Stone said that he consid ered Mr. Hughes a man of ability and character, but looked upon his nomi nation while he was on the bench as full of menace and danger. "My objection to the nomination to Mr. Hughes." said the Senator's state ment, "lii's in the fact that I-regard it as had m every way. even vicious for a great political party, hard press ed and on its uppers, to invade the Supreme Court of the I'nited States and take down from that bench one of its justices to make him a party candidate for a political office, to meet and serve a party exigency. The experiment is full of menace and danger. Hereafter it is more than probable that men appointed to the Supreme Court . will begin to regard it not as the honorable and final goal of their ambition, but as a stepping stone to what they will, as Mr.'Hughes does, regard as a political advance ment beyond the judicial position they hold. "In that view of things, it will fol low that the decisions of judges of that great tribunal will become more or less the subject of suspicion, peo ple will begin to surmise whether ojecisiuns on questions ot wide or .genral interest have behind them some sinister political design.

The Senator Criticised the Progres sive platfonn and called attention to the fact that it contains a. declara tion that the issue was "one of mm," by which, he said. The Progressives meant Itooseyelt. Now, he said, Iloosevelt "sulks in his tent at Oyster ay while his loyal following waits un certain."

Mr. (lanetson'a prediction was I prompted by the fact that during the day the conference came suddenly to a halt when the railroad's "contin gent'' proposition, tentatively granting the demanded eight-hour day but re fusing double compensation for double time, was rejected. "We have already rejected the rail roads' proposition, name it what you will." said President Oarretsnn, "we are now engaged in getting it read intn the record in detail. There does not seem to be anything else to discuss when the railroads tinish. If the rail roads do not back down from their position that the proposition must be based on their "yard-stick" methods, then there is no further necessity for continuing the conference." Mr. (larrelson and the other broth erhood leaders stated that if the con ferences breaks up toplrrow they will report back to I he men a vote on the general strike will be taken. Then they will return to the railroads and re new their demand. If they are refused then the general strike will be called. The conference threatened to come to an end today whn Klislia l.ee, chairman of the railroad manager and of the conference, read an outline of the "contingent" proposition. An ml journmnt was taken until late in the day and then it was decided to suspend final action until the rail road's proposal had been heard in detail. Democrats Will Call On The Lest to Meet Hughes and His 'a mpa igners ; Want Wilson to Stump. (By The Associated Press.) Washington, June 12 Democratic leaders, looking forward to the cam paign, are virtually in accord that it will be marked with inspiring ora tory, a clash of intellects between President Wilson and Mr. Hughes, and markedly free from personalities. None of the Democratic belittle the ability of Mr. Hughes as a campaign er and they realize his physical fit ness to go into a four months' con test. To meet Mr. Hughes and the lte publican campaigners behtnd him, they expect to call upon the best of the ,. Democratic party. Whether the President will go Into the campaign will1 be decided by the President int er, but It is probable that an ef fort will be made to get him to speak. Democratic leaders recall that al though there has been some argu ment against a President taking the stump in a campaign for re-election, precedents are not lacking. They point nut that Mr. Taft made many frips throughout the east in the battle for convention delegates with Colonel Roosevelt, and that On; two candi dates followed each other through State after State. Nothing is further from their thoughts than a similar campaign, but Mr. Wilson will almost certainly be asked to contribute by some active- participation.- to- offset any -advantage the" Ttepnbllrnns may gain from the speeches of a man who has been Oovernor of a most potential State and Justice of the' Supreme Cotirt.
