WOMAN S PARTY CONVENTION
TO DECIDE WHO GETS
THEIR l MILLION VOTES
CHICAGO. June 8.—What political
party will officially be handed the
support of 4.000.000 women’s votes in
the eleven “free” states at the
November national election?
This question, the most important
in the Woman's Party convention
meeting here this week, was to be de
cided today by the suffrage delegates
when they assemble this afternoon.
The Woman’s Party expects to
place this vote where it will do the
most good in helping to bring about
national equal suffrage.
Political parties are to be given to
understand that “Suffrage First" is
the Woman’s Party motto and that
party platforms expecting to catch
woman votes must be built according
ly. A mass meeting will be held to
night as which prominent leaders will
speak.
Tomorrow, 40.000 women will par
ade to impress the men politicians
with the strength of suffrage.

WOMAN’S CONVENTION
GETS DOWN TO WORK
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
CHICAGO, June 5.—The Woman’s
Party, meeting in its first convention,
struck its initial snag today when it
tried to crowd 2,500 delegates repre
*
seating a dozen million women into
the Blackstonc theatre, which has a
seating capacity of only 1800.
Before noon, following a half day
of unexpected registration, no one
doubted that the three day convention
which is held to impress the progres
sives and republicans with the woman
voters’ power would call for numerous
overflow meetings.
Women voters from the eleven
“free” states were given the first
prominence today and will continue to
hold first place in the convention to
morrow' and the day following.
“Free” women had access to the
main floor of the theatre. Other
women crowded into the balconies and
attended the overflow meetings.
Miss Alice Paul, National chair
man, opened the meeting at 2 this
afternoon but did not remain long as
presiding officer.
The rules of the Woman’s Party
say that the permament chairman
must be selected from one of the
eleven states in which women are al
lowed to vote. Up to the time of the
balloting no one had any idea who
the first temporary chairman of the
Woman’s Party would be.
The principal business of the after
noon was the naming of committees
and reports from the eleven equal
suffrage states delegates.
A reception has been planned for
this evening. Speakers at the conven
tion will be:
Miss Maud Younger of San Fran
cisco, Mrs. Ida Finney Mnckrille of
Sacramento, Mrs. William Kent of
Kentfield, wife of Representative
Kent; Mrs. Sara Bard Field of San
Francisco, and Mrs. Elizabeth Gcr
ebrding of Berkeley, Anne Martin of
Reno, Nev., Mrs. Wallace Williams of
North Yakima, Washington, Miss
Alice Lonisc Reynolds o' Provo,
Utah, Mrs. Francis liuire of Helena,
Montana, Mrs. William It. Sawtelle
of Arizona, Mrs. Lillian H. Kerr of
Colorado Springs; Mrs. Dora Phelps
Buell of Denver, Colorado and Dr.
Carline Spencer of Colorado Springs.
NO MEETING OF THE
MOOSE LODGE TONIGHT
There will be no meeting of the
lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose to
night as it has been decided, as usual,
to hold meetings during June, July
and August only on the first and third
Fridays of each month.
W. A. GILMORE POSES AS A
POLITICAL PROPHET
NEW YORK, June 2.—William A.
Gilmore, delegate from Alaska to the
Republican convntion at Chicago,
who is now in this city, stated in an
interview, published this morning,
that there will be a landslide in the
convention for Justice Hughes. The
Alaska delegate expresses the positive
conviction that Hughes will be named
for the presidency on the second vote
in the convention, and that his elec
tion to the office will follow as surely
as his nomination. He predicts an
overwhelming Republican victory
throughout the country at the Novem
ber election.—Ex.
