NOTABL WOMEN NOT KEEN | FOR BIG JO8S- I DEMOCRAT PARTY Learning the Game of Politics at Conveiition, They Lose Yearning for Office. | Times Have Changed Since! Old Suffrage Days, De- clared Committeewoman, ALL WILLING TO HELP. Ey Beatrice Washburn. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- ~ ning World.) SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.—Sur- prisingly enough, the women aren't 80 | keen about holding prominent posi- tions in the Democratic Party as you would think they might be. “Times have changed since the old Saffrage days when we used to rave about how we would set the world on fire and show the men how to keop sing,” sighed Mrs, Mary Maud Mil- let, National Committeewoman from Ohid and Cox's right hand woman. ‘The more we know about politics the more humble we become. And most of us realize that we will have to have long years of experience before we can compete with the men at their own game, “For instance, this business of Na- tional Committeewomen is fine and perfectly just. If we have equal suf- frage we should have equal represen- tation on the National Committees, but when it comes to appointing a woman as Permanent Chairman it is a different matter. I don't really be- ve we have had enough expert- ence.” VOCAL DIFFICULTIES A HANDI- 0 WOMEN, “T should Think the practical’ dim- culty of @ woman's voice would stand im her way for a Permanent Chair- *man,” said Mrs. Caroline O'Day of Rye, N. ¥., on the Empire State dele- gation. “How could a woman be heard over that vast assemblage the way Homer Cummings was?” “That argument*does not hold good after Mrs. Susan Fitzgerald seconded the Owen nomination,” ‘said Mrs. Mary Lily, alternate from New York. “I never heard anything so clear as her voice in my life.” “J don’t agree with them at all,” said Miss M. L. Goss, Tammany Hall delegate. “It seems to me a question of efficiency and if women prove as efficient as the men there is no rea- son why they should not hold the same offices. 1 stand ready to d whatever the National Comiittee a cides. If they want a woman as Vice President I will vote for that too,” “It is as essential to have women on the National Committee as it is to have men,” said Mrs. Antoinette Funk of Illinois, “but we must be very careful and avoid dual organiza- tion, The more political co-operation the men and women have-the better for any party. I feel that women are too new at the game to try to take| up party leadership. They must learn the mechanics of politics better, In “regard to a woman for Vice President, there is no point in discussing what cannot happen.” Miss Betty Bram of the National Woman's Party feels that women should tackle anything the men do, “There is no earthly reason why we should not have a woman as Per- manent Chairman,” she said. “The women are too conservative in this to suit me.” DIGNITY OF WOMEN IMPRESSES BYSTANDER. The innocent bystander cannot but be impressed with the modesty and dignity of the women compared to a uffrage convention which we coy- ered in Chicago some five years ago. At that time Miss Alice Paul and O. H. P. Belmont were romp.ng round, dissatisfied with things inj general and with the male sex in par- ticular.

(Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.—One thing which !mpresses the convention Pisitor very forcibly is the obvious lack of any real enthusiasm for many of the nomination seekers, Insincer- ity stands out all over nearly every demonstration, The demonstration for President Wilson on the opening day vf the ses- sion was spontaneous. So aiso was the mild outburst when Homer 'S. Cummings was placed in nomination early in yesterday's session. Then in sharp contrast came the laboriously organized, ponderous and palpably ~ insincere which followed the speech of John H. Bigelow of Pennsylvania, nominating Attorney General Palmer. A proces- sion of delegates was started by the use of every known enthusiasm-pro- voking de Palmer rooters,almost dragged deicgates from thelr chairs in their anxiety to get them into line, Palmer pennants, horns, rattles and megaphones appeared like magic. A delegate carrying © large« American flag on a pole led to the front. A red-headed boy in shirt sReves, who jooked hardly old enough to be out of college, dashed from one part of the convention hall to another, climbing mn chairs and frenziedly leading the cheers, only pausing in his efforts from time to time to dash away the perspiration streaming down his face. The band in the gallery played ua- asingly and the inevitable man with a trombone proudly took his place in © procession right bohind the man demonstrativa ) waving Palmer banners had about as much fire and enthusiasm in their faces as a union plumber has when he picks up his tools for the start of the day's wor! ‘ ‘The noisy’and enthusiastic memhers of the procession also were too noisy, too enthusiastic, and they had thit set “I see my duty and I'll do it right, by_ heck,” expression. Then came more made-to-order demonstrations, and finally a real genuine outburst when Bourke Cockran of New York made his speech nom- inating Gov. Smith, seconded by As- sistant Secretary of the Navy Frank- lin D. Roosevelt and Mrs, Lillian R. Sire of New York. Then the fireworks cut loose. New York and Pennsylvania were almost tied in starting things, closely fol- lowed by Washington. In a moment the whole convention was in an up- roar. Soon some one started to sing “The Sidewalks of New York,” and it was taken up on all sides. From that they turned to “Rosie O'Grady” and many other séngs, intermingled with repetitions of “Tammany.” The bands In the galleries joined In, together with the great Auditorium organ, but could hardly make them- selves heard above the uproar. The surprising feature of the whole thing was that it was obviously unpremedi- tated. Cheer leaders and professional dacdal I 8.) enthusiasts were absent. It seemed as though the convention, sick and tired of obviously forced and manu- factured tributes, could not do enough to help along the one really genuine ovation of the convention. The shout- ing, cheering, stamping, swirling riot could not be checked for half an hour, ‘When Gov. Smith was asked how he felt about the demonstration later at the St. Francis Hotel, where he is staying, he said: "I am @ proud man to-night. I cannot give expression to my feelings, but it was the. most wonderful thing that ever happened to me.” As Gov. Smith was leaving the Auditorium a woman from Queens County came running up to him and cried in a voice hoarse with cheer- ing: “Oh, Governor, wasn’t it simply splendid!” —* Charles ,F. Murphy when asked what he thought about it, answered: “It was wonderful and_ perfectly spontaneous. I know I had heard nothing about it beforehand.” Representative Thomas F. Smith, Secretary of Tammany Hall, replied to the same question: “The Governor certainly got a wonderful ovation,” fills ito acini SAYS HUSBAND HELD HER UP.
