Democratic Leaders Plan; v. v
J J : ' Victory at Next Election
Big Chicago Meeting Pledges Militant Campaign and Chal

ple Favor Women sSufrage 'And -
League of' Nations
TheDemocratic leaders of the. nation
pledge themselves to a militant cam'
paign from now until the next presi
dency is decided in 1920, expressed the
umost confidence in repeatingthe vic
tories of 1912 and 1916, and vigorously
J denounced the character of the attacks
being made upon President Wilson and
the democratic National. Administra
tion at Chicago on May 28-29. At. this
time the Democratic National Com
mittee established a precedent in the
party's history ,by meeting with the
members of the Associate Woman's
National Committee. ' Chairmen and
secretaries of many Democratic state
Committees were also present, in pcr-
. sonel making the gathering reminicent
of a national convention.
- Although President Wilson sent no
rallying call from Paris to his party,
that does not mean there were no virile
, trumpeting to arms, for every address
was of this . nature and full of confi
Terming the Republican party "one
that comnlains and moves backward,"
and the peace treaty and League ''of
Nations covenant as "the greatest docu
ment of human iiberty ever prepared,
Chairman Homer vS. Cummings of the
National Gommitee advanced to the at
tack on the Republican "enemy" imme
diately on his arrival. He followed this
bv belaboring the Remiblicaa- "01d
Guard," now in complete control of the
party machinery and Congress.
"It is manifest that the Republican
party has again fallen under reaction
ary leadership," said Chairman Cum
mintfs. "The choice of the committee
heads in the recently organized House
of Represenatives is very discouraging
to every progressive American, while
the election of Senator Penrose to head
the Finance Committee of that body
indicates 'the type of leadership to
which the Republican party is . corn?
Slander Is Republican Argument
Charges of "infamous slander" were
freely made against theiropponents by
the Democratic speakers, and Chair
man Cummings drew great applause at
tie dinner that closed the Chicago ses
sion when he said that "as I read the
reports of these speeches of strict and
unrelentiny partisanship I wonder
what phrases of abuse, what language
of vituperation, what invective, what
recital of blunders and crimes would
have agitated the political atmosphere
if the President of the United States
had led thecountry to the disasterous
conclusion of an unsuccessful war?
Every epithet of reproach already has
been exhausted in an attempt tb dis
the leadership, of America's President
at a time when America's prestige was
never greater, America's power never
so vast and America's success never so
transcendent.
"The campaign of slander, hich is
the very spume of, politics, has been re
served for America's greatest leader in
the hour of America's greatest triumph
To listen to the spokesmen of the Re
publican organization js to gather the
impression that America lost the war
and has been forced into a discreditable
peace, humiliating to all lovers of cop'
stitutional government ;and freedom.'
. Attorney-Generai A. Mitchell Palm
struck responsive chord afcthe same
-dinner when he described the glories of
Democratic administrative achievemen
ts in the last eight years, and scoffed
at the old-time Republican campagln
assertions reach of 'which has been disproved-
that the Democratic party lack
.- ed experincew - leadership, was com
mitted to free trade and incapable of
vjv providing reveno, insincere in profes
- sions of friendship for labor, inimical
to the farmer, an enemy to legitimate
' business and Incapable of carrying on
- - a war. A . tribute to Woodrow Wilson
formed an appreciated portion' of his
' address. ' Th Attorney-General aaid:
' -Democrats Equal to problem ,
v "They said, lie Democratic party
lacked the experience of training in
statesmanship which made for construe
, . tlve" leadership la solving the corapli
- , cated problems on the far-flung line of
, governmental activities. We produced
the acknowledged leader of the liberal
thought of the world, under whose
standard gainer me urea statesmen oi
every civilized nation, holding up his
hands as with clear vision and superb
courage he leads the -people o the
world -in their victorious charge
against the arch-enemy of civilization.

Senate Committee on Foreign Rela
tions and daily critic of the League of
Nations. , ,
"I asked a prominent member of the
Republican party, who happens to be
an intimate personal friend of mine,
what is the purpose or the policy of
Senator Lodge as chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Relations,"
said Mr. Roosevelt "Ho said, (That
changes from day to day. When Mr.
Lodge reads his morning paper at the
breakfast table and sees what the Pres
ident has said or done, his policy of
th next 24 hours becomes the diame
trical opposite.' You could not get
two Republican Senators to agree up
on a dennite loreign policy alone con
structive lines," added Mr. Roosevelt,
"but you can get a majority to Oppose
anything put forward by the Presi
dent ot the United States."
Women Support President
The first joint session of the men's
and women s committees heard a trib
ute paid to women voters by J. Bruce
Kremer oi Montana, vice-chairman of
the National Committee.
"It was the women of the nation who
decided that Woodrow Wilson was the
proper man to remain at the head of
the. United States during the danger
ous days of war." said Mr. Kremer.
"If it had not been for the Women the
world today probably would not be fac
ing the glorious prospect of an endur
. x 1 1 . -
uijf peace, out, mignt again coniront a
sword ruthlessly drawn."
Indirectly referring to the League
of Nations, Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker
oi lexas, lormer president of the Cen
eral Federation of Women's CluOs,
predicted Democratic success in 1920
when she said that "the-Democratic
party will, again win the "women by
putting, some-big moral, iaytveibel ore
then, and I, think w& ' have a bill of
rights to takethem."
The necessity of an appeal to women
was also emphasized bv Mrs. William
R. Pattangall of Maine, who said the
enfranchisement of women in that
state might place it permanently in
me democratic column, and added:
"The women vote cannot be bousrht.
it cannot be handled by ward heelers
nor can it be carried off its feet bv
brass bands or. spread-eagle oratory.
If we cannot vote for Woodrow Wilson
in 1920 we want to vote for some one
as nearly like him as possible."
"The campaign of 1920 will be fought
oiuug uiu aine lines as lyitj, tneugn
intensified," predicted Miss Florence
E. Allen, of Ohio,' and she saw in the
Republican opposition "reluctant, un
patriotic payers of war profit taxes
and those who were deprived of the
privilege of furnishing embalmed beef
to uie ooys in me trencnes. ine wo
men see the bisr principles involved in
the war," she added, "and realize there
is no abrogation of the Monroe Doc
trine in the covenant of the League of

the necessities of and difficulties in

- A declaration of Democratic achive-
menta, Introduced by Committeeman
H. Qulna. Of Rhode Island, and
unanimously adopted, , recited that no
other administration had "placed upon
the statute, books so much beneficent
and constructive legislation having for
its object tne amelioration oi the con
dition of all classes of our people who
had heretofore endured the burdens
imposed by Republican policies"; eulo
gized the preparation -and equipping
of the nation for: its entry Into the
world war, a task "embraced by our
great President and executed in a
manner that commanded the admira
tion and wonder of the civilized world,?
and compared it with the scandals and
incompetence of the conduct oi the
Spanish War of 1898. v, :
The resolutions paid further tribute
to Woodrow Wilson by saying that "no
American President with the possible
exception of Abraham Lincoln was
ever so persistently, purposely and in
many Instances maliciously misrepre
sented and malirned as our treat lead
er has been, and we believe that as
he pnrallnls Lincoln in that respect,

GERMAN CREWS
SINK SHIPS
The German officiers and sailors,
forming the complements of the Ger
man ships interned at Sea pa Flow,
Scotland!, sank - most of . their fleet
Saturday. The fleet consisted of nine
battleships, five battle cruisers, seven
light cruisers and fifty destroyers. All
the, big ships, thebattleships and bat
tle'cruisers, excepting the Baden and
numerous smaller crait, were sunk
while others drifted ashore in a half-
sunken condition. . ' - v
Eighteen destroyers were beached
by tugs, four were left -afloat while the
remainder went under. 1
The wholesale 'sinking of the Ger
man ships, which were surrender under
the terms of the armistice, was caro-
fully arranged by officers and crews.
All explooivea were removed and the
only means of desroying the fleet was
by opening the ...seacocks. The ships
went down slowly, with the German
flag, which the crews had hoisted,
showing at the mastheads. ?
' The crews composed entirely of Ger
mans under the terms of the armistice,
which did not permit of British guards
aboard, took to the boats when the
ships began to settle. Some boats re
fused to stop when ordered to do so by
the tnard1 ships and were fired on.' A
smalr number of Germans were killed
tr wounded. A German ear . admiral
and most of tho Germans from the
ships are now prisoners aboard Bnt-
lish ships.
This sinking of German ships by
their own cre'vs is a breach of the
armistice and almost tantamount to
new act of war, but it is not the gen
eral opinion m England that the sink
ings were carried out by order of the
German government. It is believed
they were engineered by a few hot
heads sjck of existence at Scapa Flow,
