PROPOSED NEW DEMOCRATIC PLANK

SAN FRANCISCO, July-1.

The administration leaders are reported to be planning to bring before the Convention a plank described as "slightly moist." which will refer to the fact that President Wilson vetoed the Volstead Act. It is a foregone conclusion that the fight on the floor of the Convention will be precipitated by the "Drys" and on a straight "wet or dry" issue it is generally. conceded that the convention will vote "Dry," but as this plank, is backed with a declaration upholding Wilson, it is thought to have a-good

chance.

FIRST WOMAN CHAIRMAN,

During the nominations Mr. Robinson requested Mrs. George Bass, one of the delegates, to take the chair. There was a roar of cheering because it is the first time a woman has wielded the gavel at the great National Convention.

INDEPENDENCE OF PHILIPPINES AND INDIA.

In the Convention the first names proposed for election as Democratic candidate for the Presidency were Senator Owan, Mr. Gerrard, ex-Ambas sador to Berlin, Mr. Cunninga, temporary chairman of the Convention, Senator Hitchcock, Mr. Palmer, Attorney General, Mr. Meredith, Secretary of Agriculture, and Governor Gex. Appearing before the sub-committee drafting the platformu, Mr. McClashy urged an anti-Japanese plank, excluding non-assailable peoples and forbidding those already here the ownership and control of the soil. Mr. Gompers presented a Labour plank in which he charged the Republicans with reaction. He declared that the Labour vote must seek a new avenue for expression of its views. Other planks urged the independence of India, sympathy with Korea, and independence of the Philippines, the latter causing the committee, to rise and cheer.

MORE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS.

Mr. McAdoo has changed his mind and has been nominated. Mr. Smith, Governor of New York, and Mr. Edwards, Governor of New Jersey
