PARTY TO ADOPT j1 PLATFORM PLANKS,3' t Washington, Sept. 6.?Proposals |k being considered by the executive^ committee of the national woman's j* party now in session in New York,e range all the way from the nomina- * tion of women candidates for president and vice president to espousal of the Socialist cause with Debs for^ president. These facts leaked back'e to the party headquarters here to- j o day." jt Owing to the lack of time it is t hadly likely that the woman's party b will put its own presidential candidates in the field, or run women candidates for president except c those'already nominated. It is prob- I able, however, that neither the Re- e publican nor Democratic party willc be endorsed, though women voters s will be urged to remember friends [a if suffrage. | > Certain planks that will form the^ basis of the platform are known, s though many 'are still the subject of contention. Among the most important planks will be: A universal eight-hour day for women workers. Abolition of child labor. Uniform marriage and divorce laws, with a single standard of ? morals. , j Opening of' all political offices, ( even the highest to women candi- 1 dates on the same terms with men. ^ Pnimi n?v fnr men and women < "n-4" workers in the same classes of in- < dustry. < A uniform mothers' pension law. 1 A referendum before war can be ] declared on any foreign nation. < More strict enforcement of the ] prohibition law.
