S NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 1 S5l “WILSON 1SSUES CHALLENGE T0 (Continued From First Page.) Senator Martin, Stanlev, Virginia, and Governor Kentucky. Wilson Charges Conspiracy. These men have been together for ceveral days and when they began ™ their work they had a fair idea today what the platform should contain. A declaration on Americanism ap- peared to be of paramount interest among them, and the president’s Flag Day speech at Washington ves- terday received some attention from the platform builders before they be- _gan the final draft of this plank. It was said that President Wilson's idea cf what the plank on Americanism ghould be was telegraphed here last ight. Tt virtually charged con- gpiracy on the part of some foreign- born citizens to influence foreign and domestic affairs and condemned or- ganizations that failed to repudiate guch alleged conspiracy, it was said. It understood that Wilsan has not suggested definite language approval y@etion in maintaining peace, “Senator Husting of Wisconsin, it is learned, has been given the task of preparing such a plank that will be 2 guide for campaign. Planks prepared by the president have been turned over to the sub- committee by Secretary Baker who Frought them here from Washington. vania; in of any his but ATt is learned there will be no specific mention of Mexico in the declaration ¢f principles but that the relations cf the United States with the gouthern republic will be cavered in @ general way in the plank dealing with foreign affairs. This plank will declare that every nation has a right to regulate its own internal affairs, Protection for Americans. Adequate protection for Americans at home and abroad will be among te pranouncements, and a permanent peace tribunal will be favored. There will be a preparedness plan that will not only satisfy democrats please the progressives, the leaders say. The platform will contain an unequivocal expression against war for aggrandizement. { If there is any friction in the reso- Tutions committee it will come over the equal suffrage question. There ate some committeemen who are opposed to any reference to the equal rights question; some want a declaration along the lines aof the glank inserted in the republican platform, while there are still ather committeenten who would favor a | federal constitutional amendment %giving women the right to vote. While opinion is divided there were predictions made that the demo- cratic party would go at least as far the republican party and probably a little farther by making a stronger declaration in favor of the principle | Lof woman suffrage. The suffragists | were quite active today. They ex=| pressed confidence of strong Tecog- nition for their cause. Protection for Dyes, There have been several tariff planks submitted to the resolutions sommittee, and Reiney has been asked to write what & expected to be the final draft. . said that in view of the scarcity of dvestuffs because of the European | War, the platform would favor that industry being given a measure of Protection for about five years, Consideration will be given to a plank favaring government aid for ferminal warehouses for storing, grading and weighing non-perishable farm products. The American gociety of Equity and the North Dakota Society of Equity, represented there by Delegate L. O. Hellstrom, are interested in the plank, It was said that such a plank would benefit the grain growers of the west end northwest and the cotton and “tebacco growers of the south.

Homer S. Cummings, vice chairman of the national committee and con- sidered for the chalrmanship to suc- ceed Willlam F. McCombs, appeared before the sub-committee on the plat- form today to urge adoption of a res- olution which would fix the method in | the future of electing democratic na- tional committeemen. said it was desirable that committec- men be elected by democratic voters in all states and territories. He said the resolution should provide further that committeemen should serve only until the national convention succeed- ing their election has done its work and adjourned. Before the sub-committee met there was a revival of the suggestion that a plank be inserted for legislation that | would prevent a federal judge from i accepting any other elective federal office during his term or within a Jes- ignated time after he quit the bench. { A delegation representing the Amer| | can organization of hoboes appearcd at the committee room early and de- manded a hearing. They said they desired planks declaring for the “right to work"”; for free transportation “to and from the job”, for the abolition of private employment agencies and | . for the ballot for all migratory and | | unemployed, wherever they may be. With the Connecticut Delegation. (Special to the Herald.) St. Louis, Mo., June 1 Irving 1. Fisher of Yale TUniversity this morning appeared before the platform committee of the democratic national canvention and spoke at length in favor of nailing a proposed tuberculosis plank in the party plat- form. At the conclusion of Profes- sor Fisher’s remarks Committeeman Tyler immediately moved for the adoption of this plank. ‘Will Mean New Cabinet Job. As outlined and explained by the Yale professor, the insertion of this tuberculosis plank would mean first of all the creation of a new cabinet cffice as he proposes to recommend a pational health department to be { Placed on an equal foating with the department of justice, the department of the treasury, the agricultural de- partment and other important bureaus. It is the idea of the New Haven man to have this proposed na- tional health department have full charge over sanitary canditions, with supreme power over all “foodstuffs, sanitation, disease, the prevention of disease, etc. Cummings Can Be Chairman. The Connecticut delegation, at the request of Professor Fisher, expressed themselves as in favor of the plank. Martin H. Glynn, former governor of New York state and temporary chair- man of the national convention, re- ceived the proposal with extreme favor. At press time the platform commit- tee was considering the adoption of Professor Fisher's plank, It is stated here among the promi- nent delegates that Homer S. Cum- mings of Stamford, Conn. national| committeeman from the Nutmeg state, can easily receive the election as national chairman if he desires it. Mr. Cummings refuses ta be inter- viewed on the matter and will make no statement. 0 Connecticut Men Entertained. Members of the Connecticut dele- gation, including George M. Lan- ders, P. F.
