Committee had agreed to a recom

Middle-Aged Women With Permanently Waved Gray
Hair, in Smart Gown and Firm in Suffrage Con
victioVis, Reaching Out Beautifully Manicured
Hands for Right of Citizenship, Composite Pic
ture Drawn at Frisco.
By DOROTHY DIX.
San Francisco, June 25. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Across the hall
from the old rose and mahogany
furnished headquarters of the dem
ocratic women's party is an elab
orate beauty parJor. In it are rooms
of shining manicure tables, upon
which the hands that rock the cra-
Jdle and are now preparing to help
rule the world also are beinf pol
ished up. There are secret booths
in which expert facial masseurs
are doing their miracle wrinkle-removing
stunts, and there are other
compartments in which men mark
you, men are marcelling locks that
are mostly gray, or pepper and
salty. And it is in this beauty par
lor that most of the women who
are running the feminine end of
the democratic party and really put
ting women on the political map,
are receiving the members of the
press and giving out interviews, and
forgathering for little informal con
ferences about what they are going
to ask of the men in the way of
rights, and what- planks they can
get into the platform.
As Good as Saloon.
Nor need anyone snicker because
the lady politicians hold their meet
ings in a beauty parlor. It's as
good as a saloon used to be, at
hat. Moreover, it is reassuring
that in their interest m politics
women haven t lost tneir interest
in the feminine charms and graces.
And if this body of women shows
anything it is that when worpen be
gan to furnish the inside ot their
heads they didn't abandon orna
menting the outsides.
Yesterday I sat tor an hour in
the beauty parlor and listened to
the chatter of the women delegates
and alternates and delcgates-at-large
as they came and went, and were
prettified, and these were the pearls
that I picked up:
Not Rabid on Prohibition.
That no candidate need apply for
the woman vote unless he comes
unequivocally for suffrage. No pus
syfooting on this point will be tol
erated. That the women arc not rabid on
the prohibition problem. As one of
them sweetly ooserved, You cant
give a real party without at least
a glass of "Wine."
That women are talking platform

aspirant but he reatly is the weakest
of the field, on the basis of present
reckoning. He might be put over
by the administration but there is no
sign up to date that the administra
tion harbors any such intention.
Palmer proved ! weak candidate
in the primaries particularly in Mich
igan, the Bryan contingent is
against him and the officeholders,
with the exception of the' Palmer
personal machine, prefer McAdoo.
In additiou there is a wide-spread
feeling among the delegates that Pal
mer is distinctly unavailable because
of the enmity of labor, aroused by
the coal strike injunction and be
cause of the revelations that his cam
paign managers are counsel for
Pennsylvania steel interests which
have escaped prosecution for alleged
defrauding of the government of in
come taxes.
Cox Regarded as Strongest
In potential strength Governor
Cox leads in all preconvention cal
culations. He has benefitted dis
tinctly from the solidification of the
forces determined to prevent the se
lection of McAdoo. In this contin
gent are included the New York, Illi
nois, Indiana and Ohio delegations,
most of New England and the dele
gates controlled by Jim Nugent of
New Jersey, Fred Lynch of Minne
sota and other leaders opposed to
administration domination and favor
able to a candidate whose views arc
"liberal'n the liquor issue.
A good many delegates whowcrc
merely riding in the McAdoo band
wagon and who took McAdoo's
withdrawal at its face value already
have lined up with Cox and arrange
ments have been 'made to swing a
considerable portion of Palmer's
strength to Cox after the initial bal
loting. At a conference of antiad
ministration forces brought about by
National Committeemen Moore of
Ohio, Lynch of Minnesota and Ed
ward Hoffman - of Indiana, repre1
senting lorn daggart, the accessions
to Cox were footed up and it was
pronounced entirely feasible to pre
vent the ' nomination of McAdoo.
Beyond that the conferees were un
certain of the situation but hopeful
that the convention would swing to
Cox if convinced, that McAdoo
would be unable tomustcr a two
thirds majority.
The Cox managers began during
the day to oppose a "wet" plank in
the platform. With Cox the. nomi
nee it was contended a ''-wet" plank
would be necessary as a means of
convincing the electorate that the
democrats stood Jor liberalizing the
prohibition enforcement law to per
mit light wines and beer.
The move also was viewed as a
device to placate Bryan who is vig
orously opposing the Co candi
dacy and whose adherents confi
dently assert they can hold the Ohio
governor short of a two-thirds ma
jority until doomsday.
Despite hi withdrawal, McAdoo
loems larger today thtan at any time.
Robert Woolley, Thomas B. Love
and his other friends on the scene
are telling the delegates to await the
propitious moment for putting Mc
Adoo over and to rest assured that
he will accept the nomination.
There is no doubt that in the
number of delegates committed to
him at this time, McAdoo has been
weakened by his withdrawal. But
this is a relatively unimportant fac
tor, for McAdoo's chance of being
nominated is founded on the break
ing of a. deadlock. It looks as if
there -would be a deadlock with no
Supplants
more than candidates, but undoubt
edly the favorite candidate is Mc
Adoo, so far as the women are con
cerned. McAdoo is a ladies' man.
He is suave and chivalrous and has
st southern man's way with the
women, which few can resist. Be
sides, say the women, he was the
first man to recognize the value ok
women s work in the' war. He ap
pointed a committee of 12 repre
sentative women as his assistants in
the Liberty loan campaigns.
Women Average 40.
That the women delegates who
have been sent to. the convention
would probably average 40 years if
their real ages were told. There are
no debutantes and Fluffy Ruffles
among them. One of them, Mrs.
Castleton , of Kentucky, will be 80
years of age in October and she is
accompanied by her- daughter and
her granddaughter. Most of the
women are those who have reached
the second leisure period of life
women who have raised families of
children, helped their husbands
niatre fortunes, and now that their
own personal affairs are running
along on rubber-tired wheels , have
time to give to the problems of gov
ernment and the betterment of the
living conditions of their commu
nities. , I
Composite Picture.
That the women delegates have
been training for years for the posi
tions in which they find themselves,
for the women's, clubs are the kin
dergarten of politics, and there is
hardly a woman among the 300
delegates who isn't a skilled parlia
mentarian and who couldn't take up
the gavel and run the convention if
she was called upon to do so.
That was the composite picture
that I got of the democratic women
delegates as I sat in the beauty par
lor, a woman of middle age, with a
permanent wave in her iron-gray
hair and a chilled steel crimp in her
political convictions as regards
woman suffrage, ' dressed in the
smartest of gowns, and with her
mind clothed in the last thing in po
litical tactics, reaching out with
beautifully manicured hands for the
light of citizenship and bound to
get it.
So, Mr. Man, watch out. The new
woman has got all the old woman
had of charm and good looks, plus
something more.
candidate able to achieve a two
thirds majority in the early ballot
ing and the friends of McAdoo do
ffot intend to make their real bids in
his behalf until the deadlock has be
gun to bore delegates.
McAdoo As Compromise.
The strategy of the McAdoo men
is to pit Cox against Palmer, giving
them a full and free opportunity to
kill off each other and then to trot
forth the president's son-in-law as a
ccmpromise.
If Cox should fail and McAdoo
should be halted successfully the
antiadministration crowd would be
disposed to turn to either Champ
Clark or Vice President Marshall.
Ir- this connection the vice president
appears to be the strongest possi
bility. There is noticeably little enthusi
asm for the ren'ominaticn of Presi
dent Wilson. Many delegates are
convinced that the president is stu
diously maintaining a receptive at
titude and otherwise wpuld have
withdrawn himself definitely from
any possibility of consideration, but
they are equally positive that it
would be politically disastrous to
name a candidate for a third term
and a candidate who is a sick man.
In some quarters the theorv is ad
vanced that the president would, be
greatly pleased by a tribute from his
party in the shape of renomination
which he then would decline, but
there are few delegates apparently
who are willing to carry such a the
ory to its logical conclusion without
some tangible guarantee that the
president actually would decline the
proffered honor. The delegates are
willing to go to any length of ex
travagance in praising the president
and lauding his administration and
they are willing to use his record as
an asset in the campaign, but with
that they desire to call the account
squared. The value of (he president
is in the past, not the future 'tense.

SECOND HONORS
NOT ACCEPTABLE
TO: HITCHCOCK
Nebraska Senator Thinks Cox
Probable Nominee Does
Not Expect "Wet" or
"Dry" Plank.
By E. C. SNYDER.
Washington t'orrenpondrnt of The Bee.
Washington, D. C. June 25.
(Special Telegram ) Senator Hitch
cock, from his coign of vantage in
the senate office building, will watch
the course of events happening in
San Francisco and note the ebb ami
flow of the ballots, content to re
main in the national capital rather
than be a part of the pushing, pal
pitating throngs that are crowding
the Golden Gate city to r.ame a can
didate on the democratic ticket for
president. '
Today the senator sent a tele
gram to Arthur Mullen, the demo
cratic national committeeman from
Nebraska, soon to give way to the
"Little Giant;, from Grand Island,
Billy Thompson, that he was not a
candidate for vice president and
would not accept the nomination for
second place. This telegram was ,in
answer to a letter from Prince Ar
thur stating that there had been,
seme discussion of the senator's
name for second place and, in view
of the league of nations being a
dominant issue in the torthcoming
campaign, Mullen felt that he should
be advised in order that some ef
fective missionary woj;k might be
done if "Barkis was wHlin'."
Prohibition Not an Issue.
But the senior senator from Ne
braska has no ambitions in the di
rection of second place ;.nd so in
formed his mouthpiece, who is meet
ing with the national committe for
the last time. -
Discussing the situation in San
Francisco, as presented through the
eastern press, Senator Hitchcock
said today that he did not believe
the campaign would contain either
a "wet" or "dry" plank, when it
emerged from tbi convention. "Pro
hibition is not properly an issue
between democrats," he said. "If a
'dry' plank were inserted it would
mean reading out of the party those J
democrats who have r.ot favored
pi chibition. If a 'wet' plank were
adopted it would mean that the men
who believe in prohibition must get
outside the party."
Cox Is Strongest.
The Nebraska senator said that
he had reached the conclusion sev
eral weeks ago that. President Wil
son would not in all probability be
the nominee at San Francisco. He
said that he regarded Governor Cox
as probably the man who would
make the strongest hut lor the
nomination. Today he laid stress
upon the fact that Cox was geo
graphically "right" to make the race,
that while he was not yet a national
figure, thei governor had great
strength in his own state and was
highly regarded, l.
"Do you think that Mr. McAdoo
is out of, it?" Senator Hitchcock
was askfd. He replied that he did
not believe the convention would
nominate Mr. McAdoo in view of
his reiterated statement that he 'did
not wish to be considered a candi
date. "I think that perhaps the nomina
tion of Mr. McAdoo would create
the greatest amount of enthusiasm,"
Mr. Hitchcock said.

commenting on the board's an
nouncement. "We have held our men back
for thre months, ever since the
outlaw strikes began. We have lost
60,000 men by revoking charters of
unions which called walkouts. We
could not hold the others another
week, if the board had not promised
us to announce its decision in the
immediate future.
Resolutions reiterating state
ments of the Chicago Yardmen's as
sociation that its members, who were
the first to start the "vacation
walk6uts" would not return to work
until their full seniority rights were
restored were adopted -a mass
meeting called by the association to
night for the purpose of "present
ing their side of the case to the pub
lic." The resolutions apDeal to the
press and various civic and com
mercial organizations to urge the
Interstate Commerce commission to
restore their seniority rights. Copies
will be sent to the democratic na
tional convention at San Francisco.
Blames Brotherhoods.
John Gruueau, president of the or
ganization, in his address, charged
that "all present labor difficulties
in the railroad industry are due to
the inefficiency of the old line rail
road brotherhoods."
"But for the inefficiency of the
men at the head of the railroad
brotherhoods the difficulties between
the men and the roads would have
been settled within two weeks," Gru
neau continued.
"Because the brotherhoods failed
us, more than 275,000 men now have
left the roads and their places are be
ing taken by 16-year-old youths, in
violation of the law of the land. As
a result Of the inefficiency of these
boys, 'daily murder is being commit
tee, the hospitals are filling with
legless and armless men, and mil
lions of dollars worth of equipment
is being destroyed.
"The brotherhoods approved the
announcement of the railroad board
that its decision would be made by
July 20. to save their own bread and
butter. They knew nearly every man
in the service would join us unless
they took prompt action to stop it.
Sixty per cent of the railroad work
ers have taken other jobs since we
organized and they' will never go
back until seniority rights and higher
pay are granted. We are not to
be starved out." ,

party cannot afford to risk defeat
in this campaign on advocacy of the

questioned on the nomination, Mr.
Hryan said flatly that lie would not

President Wilson is a receptive can

"Does the president say lie is a

"Not so far," the peerless one was

"Then my discussion of the matter

Mr. Brvan evinced great interest
in the prospect of early ratification
of the .suffrage amendment. He
hoped that Tennessee would ratify in

of woman suffrage before the plat

in which event he would see to it
that the democratic party claimed
the credit for the achievement in its
