Principal Plank to Be Based on Foreign Affairs—Supports Policy of "America First."

WASHINGTON, June 8.—President -Wilson today practically had completed a draft of the platform to be submitted to the democratic national convention. The principal plank, it is expected, will consist of a declaration of the administration's efforts guarding thr- honor and interests of the

United States and at the same time keeping the nation at peace. Protection of the neutral rights of the United States.

Refusal to allow the country to be drawn into the Mexican internal trou bles, and prompt dispatch of troops in pursuit of "raiders on American territory.

Maintenance of the Monroe doctrine and fostering good relations with other nations of tne western hemisphere.

Support of the policy of "America first." The planks on domestic affairs will refer particularly to the merits of the Underwood tariff act the federal reserve act, and the administration's preparedness plans.

The managers yesterday declined to reply to the men's queries, Elisha Lee, representing the roads explaining that they were such that they could not be answered" off-hand. He said satisfactory replies would be giver, today.

The union men declared today that inasmuch as they have responded frankly to questions put by the managers as to the employes' position in the wage scale question, the managers would be considered guilty of bad faith unless they replied with equal readihfcss to the men's queries.

BITTERNESS STILL EVIDENT.

Republicans and Progressive Display -Much of 1912 Spirit. By W. F. Cronin.

CHICAGO,'ill., June 8.—Events of the first day of the republican and progressive ^conventions here disappointed the members of those parties who were hopeful that Chicago this week would prove the "burying ground of the celebrated hatchet. The most flagrant evidence of the bitterness between the two parties came last night in the lobby of the Congress hotel when a parade of progressives with a couple of bands filed through the place already packed nearly soiidly with "real republicans."

The progressives jarred the beautiful dome and made the costly oil painted figures about ihe wall blink with their vociferous yells of "We must have Teddy." They encountered a flock of the California delegates wearing gold badges and fresh from their victory over Governor Hiram Johnson and his moose party in that state, and then the fur began to fly.

Every yell for Teddy was echoed by hisses and replies of "Never" to the demands that Teddy be nominated. W. H. Quirk, a rangy Sherman delegate from down about Cairo, snatched some of the canes of the Teddy boosters and for a time it looked like a revival of the famous Kilkenny fair.

All day Wednesday, while the "first grind of the convention was on, Roosevelt boosters kept up their campaign of persuasion and they particularly sought out the rendezvous of the "regular republicans." The latter made it obvious that this sort of "dictation" evidently engineered from progressive headquarters in the Auditorium hotel was trying their very souls and it can better be imagined what word the republican groups sent to the men who were engineering their affairs in the upper rooms of the hotels and in the committee rooms at the Coliseum.

No Surrender.

While the preliminary work was sing done for the republican conven-

when he came in. John Hays Hammond and Governor Frank B. Willis came in rain-soaked, having essayed the trip down from the Congress on the crowded platform of a street car. Hi Clay Evans and John Wesley Hill emerged from a handsome cab and entered the main door and there were no state delegations arriving in bodies, bands straggled in with the caverns of their horns swathed in cloth and the drums draped to protect them from the driving rain outside and the expensive decorations on the outside of the Coliseum hung at worse than half-mast and droopily slapped the front of the sad gray building.

Tuesday and Wednesday have been fine days for war or murder. They have shown Chicago weather at its worst and Terre Haute visitors have been wiring home for "heavies" and furs and earmufts and the like. It has been weather that would even rob a pay roll patriot of any enthusiasm over a political thing.

Another Kind of a Storm. A piece of news broke last night that led to a doubt about the ultimate victory of Hughes. Governor Whitman is said to have led a fight on William Barnes for state chairman of the New York republican committee. If there is this kind of a fight on it is argued that Barnes could not be expected to support the candidate, for Whitman is leading the fight and acting as stage manager for Mr. Hughes. There is still a deep suspicion that there is either a shock in store for the old guard or for Hughes, and some figure it- won't be Barnes and his friends.

national convention at St. Louis. AS such he will deliver the keynote addr ess on June 7.

tion Wednesday afternoon and laet night it was evident that the progressives expected Some calls for Conferences. The situation was directly the reverse. It got colder than the day outside about the headquarters of the stand-pat leaders and if any plans for harmony matured during the day they were so meagre as not to be visible to the naked eye. Which did not mellow the McGrath -Johnson frame of mind. All news Wednesday from the progressive committee meetings was barren of any compromise talk. As the day progressed it heightened the effect of a third party on the screen. "Uncle Joe" Cannon was one of the early arrivals. He was having some trouble getting to the Illinois delegation and big policemen backed the line to let the former speaker through. W. Murray Crane, of Massachusetts, arid/ Other leaders began to arrive as the hour moved to 11 o'clock. That hour passed without a sign of the convention coming to order.

Chairman Hilles finally got In and had a short conference with former Secretary Stimson and Nicholas Murray Butler of the New York delegation. Chairman Harding also arrived and the platform began to fill. It was just 11:22 when Chairman Harding brought down the gavel.

His call for order brought almost immediate response.and the aisles were ordered cleared.

Chairman Harding asked the convention to rise while Monsignor Francis G. Kelly read a prayer. The convention stood in silence as he read the invocation.

Band Out of Order.

Chairman Harding' was ready to go on with the next business but the band began "Rock of Ages." When through the first bar, however, the band leader saw he was out of order and stopped.

Mr. Harding then called for the report of the credentials committee. Senator Smoot, the chairman, came upon the platform to make the report and was greeted with applause.

The report, recommending the seating of 987 delegates was read by the senator with a list of the decisions in contested cases. It excluded two delegates from the District of Columbia, and admitted two each from Alaska and Hawaii.

Scattering applause greeted announcement of some of the contests. At its close Senator Smoot moved the adoption of the report. There was no objection. A rolling chorus of "ayes" fcut it through.

The report of the committee on permanent organization was next. William S. Hahn, of Ohio, made the report recommending the temporary organization be made permanent. Former Representative Bennett, of New York, took the gavel and put the. question and it was carried.

Mr. Bennett then presented Senator Harding as permanent chairman. There was quite a demonstration and when he tried to gavel it down the crowd cheered a little louder.

Repeated whacks of the gavel only brought more of a demonstration. The delegates rose and the cheers rolled louder. It was the longest sustained demonstration of the convention so far. Finally the crowd quieted and Mr. Harding thanked the convention for its approval.

PEACE TALK DISCOUNTED.

Republicans and Progressives Apparently Have Minds Made Up. CHICAGO, June 8. As political leaders gathered for the second day's sessions of the republican and progressive national conventions it became more and more apparent that there would be two tickets in the field.

Victor Murdock, chairman of the progressive national compiittee, summed up the whole situation when he said today: "Well, we left the door open and the republicans don't seem to be coming in."

That was the progressive leader's reply to inquiries as to whether there remained any prospect for harmony and whether there was likely to be ap pointed today conference committee

representing both parties to receive and pass upon peace suggestions. Republican leaders, too, discounted the success of the peace talk, saying that aotion had been delayed for so long that a majority of the republican delegates already have decided to proceed without regard for any third party, and nominate Justice Hughes, to whom the most support has been gathered.

There are some among the progressives and among Roosevelt republicans as well who still believe that the colonel himself could save the day if he would come to Chicago. Representative Gardner, of Massachusetts, who was defeated for republican delegate-at-large from Massachusetts on a Roosevelt ticket, pleaded with progressive leaders to bring Col. Roosevelt on without delay. Word came from Oyster Bay, however, that Col. Roosevelt had receive'd the telegram from Republican National Committeeman Jackson, of Maryland, sent yesterday urging him to come here in the interest of harmony. While the colonel announced it was not his present intention to accept the invitation he would make public his reply later and he did not indicate what its tenor would be.

Nomination Friday.

The republican nomination for president will be made probably in the Coliseum tomorrow, but it is not expected the convention will adjourn before Saturday. Ostensibly the session will be prolonged to give more deliberate consideration than is usual to a nomination for second place, but' the real purpose, it is believed, is to avoid adjournment before the progressive convention has acted.

The progressive convention probably will not nominate before Saturday. There will only be a few hours of session today and that will bo devoted to platform making and other routine. The delegates are confident that on Saturday they will name as their ticket Roosevelt and Johnson, their standard bearers of four years ago.

While there had been little real discussion by republicans of vice presidential possibilities, and it is recognzed that geographical conditions and political expediency will govern, considerable talk was heard today indicating that there might be concentration on either former Vice President Fairbanks of Indiana, or former Senator Burton of Ohio.

A Famous Physician's Wonderful Discovery

After a series of careful experiments and tests at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., covering many years—Dr. Pierce, the medical director of that hospital, made announcement that he could prove that a medicine which he called "ANURIC" was the best uric acid solvent now to be had. As a remedy for those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation —as scalding urine, backache and frequent urination, as well as sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, gout, it is simply wonderful how quickly "Anuric" acts causing the pains and stiffness rapidly to disappear.

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to a dropsical condition, often caused by disordered kidneys. Naturally when dneys are deranged the blood is

xwriB I in this the kidneys

filled with poisonous waste matter, which settles in the fept, ankles and wrists or under the eyes in bag-like formations.

It is just as necessary to keep the kidneys acting properly as to keep the bowels active.

The very best possible way to take care of yourself is to take a glass of hot water before meals and an "Anuric" tablet. In this way it is readily dissolved with the food, picked up by the blood and finally reaches the kidneys, where it has a tonic effect in rebuilding those organs.

Step into the drug store and ask for a 50-cent package of "Anuric," or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial package "Anuric"—many times more potent fhnn llthia, eliminates uric acid as hot war ter melts sugar. A short triaJ wilt-con-vince you.
