nntion of ' " Vice-President Marshall,
firmly established the harmony pro
gram for the Democratic national con
vention which Opens tomorrow.
Chairman MeCooiubs, of the Demo
cratic National - convention, lets his
gavel sound at noon tomorrow. Lead
ers expect all prc-conventiou discord
to be blended in one harmonious note.
A program upon both the Presidential
and vice-l'resideiitial noiniiiatious and
the platforms as well has been ap
parently attended 'upon by the lead
ers Wilson Wants Marshall
A Presidential boom, around which
most of the pre-conveiitiou tights have
centered, wilted away 'tonight .under
. the .influence of a - message- front the.
White House that the President de
sired. Marshall again as his running
mate.
Secretary Baker also effectually dis
posed of efforts in his behalf fur that
ofllce.
"The President is for the nomina
tion of Vice-President Marshall," was
the emphatic statement tonight of Sec
retary Baker. "So far as I know, the
President has considered no other
'- man. I am here as a delegate from
Ohio. I ran in a popular primary
pledged to support Mr .Marshall and
obviously should not allow .myself to
he considered.
Tlie' "President's own" draft of the
platform is said to have been type-
-- written l-y 1; i mseif and wcl be -delivered
by Mr, linker to Senator Stone
of Missouri, chairman-to-be of the
resolutions committee. Little change
in it la anticipated. : .
Although' Mr, Raker declined to
night to disclose the Presidents plat
form views, it was learned the plat
form Will dwell principally "on-peace,
preparedness for peace, and prosper
ity. ,. i pespite - agitation by some Demo
cratic leaders. President Wilson, it is
said, disapproved insertion of tr plank
" criticising ' the "nomination of Su
preme Court justice for President, or
favoring a. constitutional amendment
prohibiting justices f rom seeking oth
er Federal ollices.
The President desires adoption of
a platform so progressive that it will
appeal to and attract members of the
Progressive party, but without an
open, direct invitation to the Pro
gressives to swing their strength to
the Democratic ticket, it was lenrn-
' ed, -
As to woman suffrage, it was under
stood the platform probably will sug
gest that the women continue their
efforts for the ballot in the respective
States.
The principal planks, it "was
thoritutively stated, will deal with the
Administration's trials and achieve
ments in handling international and
Mexican affair, its rapid and deliber
ate steps toward, "preparedness for
peace and the record ot economy ami
industrial legislation contributing to
general prosperity.

Wilbur W. Marsh, national commit

night for treasurer and Henry Mor
genthau of New York, former am
bassador to Turkey, was said to be
slated fur chairman of the finance
committee. '
Regarding the plan broached by
some leaders to send an invitation to
the Progressives to join the Democrats
or make specific platform overtures
to them, Mr. Baker said:
"The Progressives are a group of
men who are earnestly and devotedly
trying to serve a set of deep rooted
political beliefs. They don't want a.
piece of engraved stationery which
they can call an Invitation, but evi
dence that the. Democrats and Pro
gressives are trying to serve the same
cause. ,
"The record of the Democratic Ad
ministration contrasted with the Re
publican, platform ought to satisfy
any Progressive that his opportunity
lies with the Democratic party.
"There couldn't he any direct In
vitation to the Progressives in the
Democratic 'platform. We can only

Vest Point. N.'Y.. Jsftie 13 Addressing the Krailuatinp class of the mili

jects discussed by Conner .1 list ice Hughes, in. his telegram accepting the
Kepviblicun nomination, (imi alluded to Americanism, militarism, prepared
ness, peace, war and other topics of pressing interest.
Siihslaiwe of Speech
Ie t(dd the graduates that they faced "many extraordinary possibilities,"
because no one could tell what the immediate future is going to be, either
in the history of this, country or the history of the world, it is the present
imperative duty of America to be prepared, he said, to see that nobody mars
the civilization she has built up and being safe itself against interference
from the outside, he added, "all its force is going to be behind its moral
idea and mankind is going to know that when America speaks sh means
what she says." ' -..''
Continuing, he said:. - . .
"You know that the chief thing that Is holding many people back' from
enthusiasm for what is called preparedness is the fear of militarism. I
want to say a word to you young gent lemen about militarism. You're not a
militarist, because you anJ

"We have drawn our people, as you know, from all parts of the world,
and we have been somewhat disturbed recently because some of those,
though 1 believe a very small number whom we have- drawn Into oui

loved other countries more than they loved the country of their adoption.
"We have talked .a great deal about Americanism, " 1 1 'ought to be a
