White one of the inner circle o. the progressive leaders, arrived today to see Secretary of the Navy Daniels. lie declared, however, It was not with any thought of finding away for progressives to join the democratic party. “1 am not for Mr. Wilson,” he said. ”1 admire Mr. Wilson very much but that is as much as I can say. At present*;! do not know what my future course will be.” PLATFORM PREDICTIONS (By Lowell Mellette.) Saint. Louis, Mo., June 14 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The democratic platform will contain a strong direct bid to the so-called “fatherless” progressives or there will be a fight. This was made clear today as the young and progressive members of the party began getting together. A compact group, led by director of the mint Wooley, assistant attorney general Houston Thompson, and Richard Lloyd Jones, of Wisconsin, having started things humming last night, kept it up with the avowed purpose of getting direct action. Witli the arrival of Secretary of War Baker and a pronouncement by him on the subject was no doubt to leave the supposition to throw the doers wide open to progressives will have strong backing before the resolutions committee. Senator Kern, democratic leader in the senate, could see no objection, he said, to offering a special invitation by platform planks. "It should be directed,” he said, “to those progressives who endorse the progressive achievements of the present administration and the progressive program enunciated in the platform adopted here.” CROWD GATHERS. (By Perry Arnold) St. Louis, June 14 —(Special to the Daily Democrat) —Something more than two thousand persons assembled here at non today to waste time and speak and listen to speeches for three days before they do the one thing for which they have been chosen. In other words the democratic national convention was called to order by National Chairman McCombs and started on its oratorical way to the nomination of Wilson and Marshall. Because of the very fact that the work of the convention is so perfunctory there was a growing sentiment today among Jhe delegates that its work will be hurried along. There may be attempts to advance the date of the nominations instead of waiting until after midnight Friday to put the national ticket through. The program for today’s session was purely routine. First came the address of Chairman McCombs. Then Former Governor Glynn of New York was introduced for his keynote speech. After arranging a few details the convention was to adjourn until Thursday.

VOTES FOR WOMEN (By Carl A. Bickel,) St. Louis, June 14—(Special to the Daily Democrat) —A concentrated battery of five thousand pairs of feminine eyes was turned upon the delegates to the democratic national convention today in an appeal for "votes for women.” • attempt, faced by the national women’s suffrage association, headed by Mrs. Harry Chapman Catt, was the most spectacular event of the suf- • frage campaign before the convention. Five thousand women, voiceless, motionless, with a steady gaze tried to stare a supposed somewhat unfriendly national convention ou( of countenance and into an attitude of meek receptivity. ’ Dressed in white with a yellow sash across shoulders and a yellow parasol above their heads the women of the national association formed a golden lane from the Jefferson hotel to the coliseum. Between the extended rank of the women soildeirs for the ballot democracy, headed for its quadrennial meeting, had to walk or ride. To Keep Stoppers From Sticking.

HUGHES WANTS TO BOSS (United Press Service) (By Carl I), Groat) New York. June 14 —((Special to Daily Democrat) —If the Old Guard thinks it call get hold of the machinery of the republican organization and conduct the campaign of Charles E. Hughes to suit itself it would best watch out for bumps. Close personal friends of the candidate have let it be known that Hughes will insist in haVing the majority say in the personel of the campaign managers and in the conduct of the campaign. He will strive to give alk its action a vitality which will attract the vote i.f the progressives. There is a feeling at headquarterds that should the Old Guardsters of the Murray Crane-Reid Smoot type appear to have control of the campeign the progressive vote will be very coy. On the other hand the Hughes personal camp believes that even the most case-heardened stand patters will pitch in and work for Hughes even if the old guard’s leaders are placed, so far as the public eye is concerned, on the side lines. o GERBER WILL PROBATED.

Character. Character, instead of being a means to and end, is, itself, the end to be accomplished; and those to whom the world will always look up as Its most magnificent characters, have been those who were in themselves superior to the things of circumstance and environment.

It has not for centuries been the custom of tho sultans of Turkey to contract regular marriages. The sultan designates from the inmates of the harem a number —nowadays very limited — of women who are called “Kadin,” or full wives; this title is only given, however, after a child has been born to the sultan. All children born in the harem, whether their mothers are free or slaves, are legitimate and of .equal lineage. Good Furniture Polish.

Sought to Mitigate War's Evils. Nothing redounds more to'the credit of the church than its unwearied striving during the turbulent medieval period to protect the poor and defenseless and to lessen the violence, oppression and outrage which marked the progress of feudal warfare. It was only by degrees and in proportion as the temporal rulers were able to follow the impulse thus given by the church and to impose the Landesfrlede, the Quarantine-le-roi and other royal peaces that war came to -be confined to international conflicts.
