Berlin, Sept. 19, 7 p. m., via Lon- don, Sept. 20, 7:25 a. m. (Delayed)— Major Ernest Bassermann, leader of the national liberal party, in a speech delivered on Monday before his constituents in the Saarbruecken district declared that the submarine campaign had been postponed and not abandoned. Major Bassermann advocated the widest possible use of both submarines and Zeppelins and the most ruthless methods of warfare. The national liberal leader asserted that his views were shared by Admir- al Von Tirpitz, Admiral Von Kocester, Prince Von Buelow and Count Zeppe- lin. He maintained that “In a strug- gle wherein the existence of Germany is at stake the most ruthless use of all possible weapons is called for.” This sentiment was heartily ap- plauded by his audience. Submarines and Zeppelins, continued Major Bas- sermann were the most effective weapons against ‘“our arch cnemy England.” Sees Little Hope in America. Referring to the United States, Ma- Jor Bassermann warned his hearers against trusting for any permanent effect upon American sympathizers against England’s blacklist policy and the achievements of the Deutschland and other commercial submarines. He warned them also not to hope that the present American protests to England would have any greater effect than thelr predecessors. Major Bassermann told his hearers that it would be a delusion to believe that there was any immediate pros- pect of an end to the war. On the contrary, he said, Germany was fac- ing a more difficult war than had at first appeared possible, but neverthe- less he saw no reason to doubt ulti- mate victory. Charges Against Von Tirpitz. Berlin, Sept. 19, 7 p. m., via Lon- don, Sept. 20, 25 a. m. (Declayedy —Admiral Von Tirpitz has Deen aroused by charges brought against him by Prof. Valentin that he fur- nished incorrect information to the Reichstag during the submarine con- troversy. Professor Valentin is em- ployed in the foreign office and the papers print letters which passed be- tween Admiral Von Tirpitz and Chan- cellor Von Bethman-Hollweg in re- gard to the affair. From the letters it appears that in a private conversation Prof. Valentin asserted that Admiral Von Tirpitz had misleq the Reichstag in regard to the number of available submarines and the possibility of a submarine cam- paign. The admiral demanded that the chancellor discipline Prof. Valen- tin. Chancellor Von Bethmann-Holl- weg, in a reply, frees Von Tirpitz from Valentin’s charges but decides that the professor is not subject to his disciplinary powers.

With his plan for dis- cussing public questions before non- partisan organizations instead of malk- ing campaign tours fully decided upon he actively took up his political plans after a lull of more than a week caused by the illness and death of his sister, M Annie E. Howe. Administration leaders here pre- dict that from now on there will be plenty of activity in the democratic campaign. The attacks of Charles E, Hughes will be fully met, they say, by the President himself and by mem- bers of his cabinet and democratic leaders who will tour the country. Chairman McCormick of the demo- cratic national committee, who spent the night at Shadow Lawn, had a conference with the President this morning before leaving for head- quarters in New York. He will re- turn in a few days to make arrange~ ments for the speeches to be made by Mr. Wilson. Meantime the President worked on a speech he will make to a delegation of business men he will receive Sat- urday, and on the address he will de- liver Monday before the convention of the National Grain Dealers associa- tion. In these two speeches he will outline the reason why he thinks farmers and business men should vote the democratic ticket. Asserting that the democrats would show that the president placed hefore congress complete pr mi o meet the recently threatened strike, Mr. McCormick asserted that Mr. Wil- son is prepared to urge strongly dur- ing the next session of congress the enactment of this program. Plan Not Understood. ‘When the entire plan of the presi- dent is fully understood the people of the country will join in praising Mr. Wilson, the chairman said. The republicans, he declared, seem to ig- nore everything in the program ex- cept the one item passed by congress. Mr. McCormick added that it would be shown how the President plans to minimize the possibility of a repe- tition of the railroad situation which arose recently. The chairman was not ready today to annouce any additional speaking arrangements for Mr. Wilson but said that correspondence had been begun regarding several. Hughes Speeds Through Middle West.

New Haven, Sept. 20.—The resolu- tions committee of the democratic state convention met prior to the con- vention to accept a report from its sub-committee which sat until 3 a. m. to formulate the planks. Thomas L, | Reilly offered the draft and W. R. Palmer of Oxford proposed amend- to equal suffrage. Action was until more committee mem- up. John offered an taxation, fa- v for cities im- it- irns ence delayed bers could be rounded Cairns of Manchester amendment concerning voring legislative authority and towns to shift taxation on provements on land to the land self. This amendment, Mr. C said, was along single tax lines. argued in behalf of the amendment but it was defeated. Mr. Gallup of West Hartford moved that the platform be referred to the state ticket nominees for review and ratification. A vote was delayed to permit disposition of Palmer's mo- tion to strike out the woman suffrage plank. L. W. Wilson of Bridgeport, in explaining the inclusion of the plank in the draft, saild that it was Tecog- nized that it would be folly not to express willingness to submit the question to a referendum when the question looms so large. He did not believe the plank com- mitted the committee to equal shffrage { or would commit the party to that principle. It would be dangerous to ignore the principle and the party should be willing to let the male vot- ers say whether they want the wom- en to vote or not. Calls Tdea Socialistic. Mr. Palmer, in reply, said that equal suffrage was a socialist idea; that the only way to enfranchise wom- en in this state would be to amend away the such a plank would take 3 legislature right of members the to 1y that the constitution should he amended. He knew the plank would cost the party candidates many vote. A general discussion followed, se frage question should be touched upon only in the preamble as dealt with by the national pratform and not specifically referred to. A nay and aye vote was taken. The committee declined to strike out the specific reference 16 to 9. The draft was then approved. Mr. Gallup's motion to send the platform to the up and the proposer argued for it, pointing out that in New Jersey the ratification of a platform by nominees and the state central committee places the responsibility in a specific quarter. He believed that nominees schould have the right to review a platform and to affirm thelr belief in a statement of principles. Mr. Gal- lup’s motion was defeated 19 to 5. The Platform, The draft of the platform follows: The democratic party in Connecti- cut, in state convention assembled, reaffirms its allegiance to the princi- ples of democracy as expressed in the national platform and pledges Itself to seek with patriotic zeal re-election of Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R. Marshall, and of a congress devoted to democratic policies that the nation may be saved from war and that the present period of unprecedented and well distributed prosperity may continued. In 1910-1912 a democratic governor was elected and the democratic ad- ministration passed much remedial legislation, including the workmen’s compensation act, a law establishing civil service and a law strengthening the statute against corrupt practices. The workmen’s compensation act has been judicjally construed as not clearly declaring the intention of the legislature to include occupational diseases. We favor an amendment to heal this defect, to shorten the period preceding compensation and other- wise to make the statute conform to the best modern practice. The last republican legislature stroyed by evil amendment the civil cervice law of the state and re-in- /.\t\tu(e(l the spoils em. We pledge ourselves to restore the law to its former vigor. During the campaign of 1912 cer- tain candidates expended great sums of money upon the theory that provisions of the corrupt practic had been successfully evaded. favor such amendments as will make like evasion hereafter impossible.

Labor lead- €. aver that the proposed general lkout will involve about 700,000 workers in all trades. Throughout the night elevated trains, together with subway trains at | points where they run on elevated structures were subjected to almost ceaseless bombardments of bottles and bricks, car windows being shattered and a number of passengers injured. Today there were several attacks by strikers and sympathizers on surface cars and police reserves were repeat- edly called out. With the arrival here today of Sam- uel Gompers, president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, to attend the funeral of Seth Low, it was learned 1hat thegbusiness interests which are cndeavoring to avert a sympathétic strike had invited Mr. Gompers to at- tend their meeting with labor leaders tomorrow. Mr. Gompers held his ac- ceptance of the invitation in abeyance pending talks with union leaders During the forenoon the attacks surface cars continued intermittently. In the past twenty-four hours, the po- lice reports today indicated, twenty men declared to be former employes were arrested. Fifteen of these are accused of felony in attacks on trains and cars.

Calder of Brooklyn, a former member of congress. The vote in’ 4,303 districts out of a total of 5,719 gave Calder to- aay a majority of 4,661, but Bacon's campaign managers hoped that later returns from outside New York city would wipe out this lead. Republican leaders today attached great significance to the success of Gavernor Whitman in winning the progressive nominatian for governor over Samuel Seabury, who was un- opposed, for the democratic nomina- tion for that office, The 3,680 districts thus far counted give Whitman 9,408 tc Seabury’s 6,346, The republican leaders declare that Whitman's victory in the progressive primaries proves that the bulk of the progressive vote in New York state wlill be republican at the coming na- tional election. Governor Whitman was opposed for 1enomination in the republican pri- maries by State Senator William M. Bennett. Returns from 4,158 dis tricts out of 5719 give Whitman | 179,558; Bennett, 31,659.

Conway Plattsburg, formerly lieutenant gov- ernor. Returns from 3,887 districts glve McCombs 77,052; Conway, 38,- 129.
