Chicago, June 18.—Ilinois democratic women will make an effort at the San Francisco convention to substitute the rooster for the donkey as the party mnbol, it was stated today by Mrs. Frederick Tahl, of the state democratic women's committee. “The democrats are not mulish r they are merely firm,” said Mrs. Tahl “The donkey was inflicted on the party just after the civil war, because of their opposition to the reconstruction program. The rooster is a proud creature and has a good deal to crow about. Democratic women will wear little silver roosters at the convention.
