Tile majority platform declares lor an army fully adequate to the protection of the nations rights and a navy worthy to support the great naval traditions of this nation. The course of the Wilson administration in European affairs is approved as well as the Wilson Mexican policy. Necessity of American troops remaining in Mexico until order is restored is emphasized.

PR ESI DENT ~is SATISFIED. Washington, D. C.. June 16—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The last possible chance of any real differences between President Wilson and the party platform carpenters having been removed by accepting verbatim of his ringing plank on hypenism. thereby making harmony a total winner in every event. President Wilson today became an active candidate for re-election. It became know’n only today now determinedly the president insisted on that Americanism plank. When the intimation reached the white house last night that certain members of the resolution committee in St. Louis were showing of balking on the president's language, the president immediately notified his personal representatives at St. Louis that he was running on the plank he outlined and that he would not consent to any sort of pussyfooting on this plank, nor would be stand even for “the crossing of a "t” or’ the dotting of an “i.” If necessary the president’s representatives were told he would carry the fight to the convention floor. Score of congratulatory telegrams poured into the white house today. Among the first to arrive was one fr6m Vice President Marshall, who wired from Indianapolis as follows: “In the fight which you are to win I am always at your command.” PLATFORM WAS READY. (By Perry Arnold.) Coliseum. Saint Louis, J-.tne 16 — (Special to Daily Democrat) —After one of the longest sessions in the history of the party, marked by bitter discussion on the framing of some ;s---sues, the resolutions committee announced at eight o’clock today that the platform upon which Woodrow Wilson will make his second campaign for the presidency was practically completed and would be ready to submit to the convention when it convened for its final session at eleven o’clock. Chairman Stone of the committee announced (that the principal planks of the platform as agreed upon by the committee had been read to President Wilson over (he telephone and that the president declared thy were satis factory. Though the platform was announced as completed there was one question which was scheduled to be carried to the floor of the convention. This was in relation to womans suffrage. The committee fought out the equal ballot pledge for hours. It defeated 20 to 22 a plank for a straight out declaration in favor of a federal constitutional amendment to give women the vote. It adopted by a vote of 25 to 20 the following statement: ’We recommend the extension of the franchise to the,women of the country ly the states upon the same terms as the men.” language of the Mexican plank or that referring to the democratic foreign policy were also stumbling blocks but there was expected to be little opposition in the convention to these planks as framed. COLONEL KEEPS QUIET Frews Service) New York, June 16—(Special to the Daily Democrat) —Colonel Roosevelt today received and read very carefully the “pro-American, anti-hyphen” plank of the democratic platform but declined to comment saying”: “I am in private life and wish to be treated as a man in private life. I do not wish it to appear that I have gone back < n anything I have said.” O ——; Official Jewel Calendar.

SAVING THE SPUDS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) vines become so large they cover the ground between the rows. If potato beetles become troublesome, paria green should be added at the rate of one-half pound to fifty gallons of the mixture, or arsenate of lead, three pounds to fifty gallons. U one has only a small imtch it may be more convenient to buy a commercial bordeaux paste or powder, with or without a poison as desired. The amount of mixture to be applied per acre varies with the size of the vines, la general it will be from fifty to seventy-five gallons or more. For large fields, a traction sprayer that will maintain a pressure of seventyfive pounds or more is most satisfactory. For small fiMds, a compressed air sprayer holding four ’or five gallons. with a long hose attached, is satisfactory. The results of extensive experiments in New York, Vermont and elsewhere have demonstrated that spraying with bordeaux mixture will nf>t only prevent blight and rot in epidemic years, but also, in dry years when this disease is not severe, the yield from sprayed plants will be increased more than sufficiently to pay the cost of Potato growers should consider spraying a necessary operation, no more to be neglected than cultivation. o COURT HOUSE NEWS.
