WOMEN BLAMED
FOR DEADLOCK
AT FRISCO MEET
Coy Girls From Missouri,
Colorado and California
Refuse to Change
Their Mind.

San Francisco, July 5.
"Mother, may I go out to swim?
"Yes, my darling daughter;
"Hang your vote on the hickory limb
"But don't go near the water."
That was the battle hymn of the
republic I mean the republican
convention as far as the women
were concerned so one of the wom
en delegates to that convention told
nie today when we were talking
about the hitch here which is keep
ing the democratic convention so
much longer than anybody expected
it would last
The women there were like guests
at a house party, beautifully treated,
dired, flattered and that's all.
The democrats have issued a gen
eral invitation, let down all the bars
and megaphoned to all who wished
to hear "come on in rri'ls, the water
is fine," And the girls came in,
hundreds of them but after they
got in they horrified the male dele
gates bv refusing to be taught to
swim. They have actually had the
boldness to sav that they could
swim very well themselves, thank
you. and as for the diving, they
didn't need any assistance in that
line either.
Refuse to Be Led.
And the men don't know what on
earth to do about it. Thev may talk
of this discussion and that dissen
s;on as much as they like, but to
my point of view it is woman, lovely
woman who is holding back the con
vention as much as anything.
There's the Missouri delegation,
for instance, in , Kansas City there
dwells a good natured and highly
efficient person called Joe Shannon
he's accustonied to delivering the
Roods, for Joe' Shannon, and here
he is at tire head of a delegation
that simnly will not be delivered.
Mr. Shannon, for instance, is a
wet of the wettest variety most of
the women of his delegation are
members of the 'W. C. T. U. and
the Christian Endeavor and various
similar societies, and they simply
vill not listen to Mr. Shannon when
Tic begs, implores and demands that
t.bey let him hand over the votes to
Cox, the wet candidate beloved by
all the wets.
Up Against a Snag.
They don't argue, they don't sulk,
they don't say much all the best
talkers in the other delegations come
and labor with them, but the Mis
souri women sit back and smile and
go right on voting each for her own
particular candidate chosen for her
own particular reason. i
The Colorado delegation is in the
same fix, so they say is the delega
tion from California. Nobody can
do a thing with the women. Nobody
enn tell what to say to them that
will t-fvt the least influence and
there the whole convention is sit
ting waiting for mother not to
make tip her mind but to change it.
And mother doesn't see any sense
in changing it at all and there you
are. The male manipulators of the
convention have run up against a
snag and that snag is the "I won't"
of the women.
Something Has Happened.
The great convention hall looked
Saturday like a block party on a
Saturday night, where everybody
takes off her hat and makes herself
at home. All the womep are quite
at home in the convention now. Mrs.
J. Borden Harriman wears a new
and a more astounding dress every
day. Yesterday it was brown chif-
ion, flowered with blue Mrs.
Brown, she that was Izetta Jewel,
tame to the party Saturday night in
x a white chiffon party dress and a
tarl necklace.
Mrs. George Bass relaxed her
strictlv business-like demeanor long
enough to look rather interesting in
n black dinner dress and all oyer
tbe house the women had beautiful
coiffeurs and nicely massaged faces.
, but for all that they knew their own
ninds and they don't intend to be
bossed, so goodness knows .when
this convention will end.
Some time in. a month or so, the
practical politicians of this country
will awake to the fact that some
thing very important has happened
,and that it began to happen in San
Francisco when the women put out
their foot in the door and insisted
on having an active and practical
lart in the deliberations of the dem
ocratic party.

(Written Exprrntly for International
New SerTlee.)
San Francisco, Cal., July 5. I
have been lied to so much by the
folks who givcout news here in San
Francisco that I am not going to
write any news today. All the news
that a correspondent gets talking
with these politicians is wrong. The
republican politicians in Chicago
were just as bad as here and I am
pot going to risk my reputation on
writing any more news about what's
going to happen, or even what has
happened.
The most fun I have these days is
watching Mrs. D. J. Mahoney in
the convention hall. She's a very
pretty girl of French type. She sits
not in the galleries with the distin
guished visitors, or up in the organ
loft with the aristocratic lady politi
cians, nor even on the floor with the
delegates. Her seat is in the press
stand. Few folks notice her, but
she is more entertaining to me than
all the hitbdub of the convention.
: Mrs. Mahoney is Governor Cox's
daughter and from her seat in the
press stand during the endless bal
loting she has seen the White House
beckon and beckon, each time more
earnestly with every repeated ballot.
If you can think of any higher stakes
that g.ilnblers have ever played than
the White House you know more
about gambling than most people
and I want to put it down right here
that this young lady with this tre
mendous stake in view is one of the
coolest gamblers I have ever seen.
Even the old timers at Monte Carlo,
hardened to the vagueries of fate,
did not seem to me quite as cool as
this young lady from Ohio, who dur
ing two days has seen the White
House advance and then retire, oty
to advance and Retire again. r
No Sign of Emotion. t
She sits next to Mrs. David Law
rence, wife of a Washington corre
spondent, and between them they
kept track of Cox votes. I watched
her several times while the hall went
mad with shouts of her father's
name. She did not join the dem
onstration. She did not even rise in
her seat like other reporters to look
at the scene. When she did arise
during the hubdub it was to leave
the hall and go out into the. restau
rant to take a bottle of milk and a
ham sandwich.
On the 16th, 17th and 18th ballots
Saturday, when her father's score
was climbing and then falling, some
one in the press stand offered her a
package of gum. She immediately
put this "with vigor to its intended
purpose. It was a relief to see her
doing something, even if it was gum
chewing. Beyond any doubt, pent
up in her woman's mind, was a per
fect storm of emotion, of hopes and
fears and pride and doubt, and her
only way of venting these in any
thing approaching a seemly fashion
was in innocent gum chewing.
A man, under similar circum
stances, , her father in Ohio for in
stance, or Woodrow Wilson in the
White House, or William G. Mc
Adoo in New York would have
been pacing the floor or figuratively
snapping their fingers and crying, at
least to their friends: 'Come on you
728 votes, come on your 728," but
Mrs. Mahoney, she only calmly
chewed her gum and kept score. I

met her in the hallway during one
of the demonstrations and tried to
discover how her concealed excite
ment could be brought out. It could
not. This Buckeye girl had herself
"so well in hand that she broke all
traditions in regard to the emotions
of women.
t
"Have you ever kept such close
tally on your father before?" a by
standing reporter asked her.
"No," she said, "I Went to the
democratic convention at Baltimore
and kept track of Champ Clark's
vote. My father's name wasn't men
tioned there, but I think I was more
excited then than I am now."
"You don't seem at all excited
now," I suggested.
"I don't let myself get excited.
This is too big a thing to get excited
about." T
'Do you keep your father informed
about what's going on?" a friend
asked her.
"Oh, yes, I send him a telegram
every day, but he's a newspaper
man, you kuow. He has a newspa
per in Dayton, O., and he watches
the wires. He knows what's going
on here all right."
"You don't live very far from
Harding's town, do you?"
"No, I don't," said Mrs. Mahoney.
"Marion, O., isn't' very far from our
place. You take a street car to Co
lumbus and then you take another
street car from Columbus to Marion,
but I've never been to Marion."
"Wouldn't it be funny if your fa
ther was nominated and two candi
dates for the presidency came from
the same little spot in the United
States?" someone suggested.
"The Ohio folks would be shoot
ing machine guns at each other,"
said somebody else.
"Oh, no," said Mrs. Mahoney.
"Ohio folks are used to having can
didates and presidents. We're a
pretty cool-headed lot out in Ohio."
Husband a War Hero.
The tumult in the hall was dying
down. The leathcr-lunged clerk
was getting ready to call the roll of
states for the 20th ballot.
"Better be getting back in again."
said the young lady. "They're get
ting ready to take another vote,"
and we all piled back into the press
stand and got to work on our tally
sheets. We, who had so little at
.-.take, were very much excited. This
Ohio girl, who had so much at stake,
was the coolest of the lot, as the
lates danced hither and yon before
her. ;
Mrs. Mahoney's husband is a tall,
upstanding young man who was a
champion in the American army,
fought in the Argonne and brought
back home only 12 members of his
company. In the old days he used
to be a newspaper correspondent on
the Mexican border and he wooed
and won Governor Cox's gracious
and cool-headed daughter just he
fore the United States went into the
war. He would be the McAdoo of
the White House if Governor Cox
won the nomination and the election.
Penn Delegates Are Under
Fire for Ignoring Women
San Francisco, July 5. The Penn
sylvania delegation to the demo
cratic national convention is under
fire of the women. This delegation
has thus far failed to name a na
tional committee woman.
Mrs. J. AV. Rensaw of Pittsburgh
appealed to a meeting of democratic
women to take action to force Penn
sylvania to appoint a woman to the
national committee.
PALMER'S WIFE
PREPARES EGGS
FOR BREAKFAST
Nervous and Excited, But
She Still Endeavors to
Start Day Right
For Husband.
By LEOLA ALLARD.
ClilrnRO Tribune-Omalis Br. leaned Wire.
Auditortuni, San Fra;icisco, July
5. The wife of A. Mitchell Palmer,
candidate for presidents is nervous
and very 'much excited over the
deadlock in the democratic conven
tion, but what intercstsi her still
more is getting her husband exact
ly the kind of eggs lie likes for
breakfast. So Saturday she bought
a little stove on which she can do
the light housekeeping necessary to
start the candidate's dav right.
The chef at the Palace hotel
knows how to cook ecgj but he
doesn't know how important to the
success of the day is the Alexander
Mitchell rainier hen fruit, done to a
turn.
Suffrage interests Mrs. Palmer.
Her husband says she is a born
suffragist because in the Quaker
code worn hi arc equal with men
from the day of their birth and there
never has been and probably never
will be any question about ;t. Active
ly Mrs. Palmer' has taken no part
in the campaign. With her little
girl, Mary Dixon Palmer, she stays
at home and makes life a beautiful
thing to this husband and this love
ly daughter. Her garden is the
pride of her life. She knows much
mere about planting geraniums than
she does about the getting of votes
for her husband. And when she
corrects Mary Dixon she still clings
to the "thee" and the "thou" of her
forefathers.
The politicians who have been
steering her husband to.vard.the
presidency have decided that bring
a plain man of the plain people is
what elects a man to high office and
so they have decided t'iat he shall
not be A. Mitchell Palmer, but just
Mitchell Talmer or "Mitch." if you
like. To Mrs. Palmer, th's is a hor
roi. "Alec" she calls him and ex
plains his name is Alexander
Mitchell Palmer. , What if it dees
sound high brow, it's bis name, and
has nothing to do with his attitude
toward the world. When they ex
plain it is better politics to be
"Mitch" she sighs and savs noth
ing. She's an adoring, dut'ful wife.
Just now Mrs. Palmer wishes the
democrats would make their decision
because in Stroudsburg, Pa., where
the Palmer home is, the flowers are
all in bloom, and there is quiet and
peace and happiness. Here she sel
dom sees her handsome husband.
Her telephone rings all night and all
of those annoying things happen to
which the domesticated Mrs. Palmer
is having a difficulty in becoming
adjusted.
The Palmers have been married
16 years and there has never been
anything but a fine respectability on
both sides of the house. Divorce is
unknown to them and that, if noth
ing more, puts Mrs. Palmer's hus
band in a class far from some of
the other aspirants.
