Approval of the treaty of Versail les and tho covenant of the Leaguo of Nations, unamended, as brought back from Paris by President Wilson, who ls praised for bis unexampled statesmanship, national and interna tional, was voiced by tho platform of tho South Carolina Democracy, adopted In to-night's cession of tho party's biennial convention. "Wo bolleve," says tho platform, in condemning tho partisan rancor of tho Republican and a few Demo cratic reactionaries In tho Senate, "that this treaty, with the league of nations, is the only moans by which a lasting ponce, and tho weak and oppressed nations of tho world can be preserved." In further discussing tho question of the Versailles pact and the loaguo of nations, the platform says: "The refusal to allow this country to ontor Into the league of nations moans tho preservation of militar ism, which we regard not only as ungodly, but ns absolutely destruc tive of the commercial, economic and spiritual welfare of mankind, and wo dornend that our Representa tives in Congress uso every means in their power to defeat such measures as universal and compulsory military training of our young men. Wo re joice that in this timo of world crisis tho democracy of America has been nblo to g<vo to tho United States and to tho world a leader through whoso wisdom and courage there was de veloped a plan which found univer sal commendation from men of all parties, Including many of the fore most leaders of the Republican party in tho United Statos, until a vicious partisanship led thom to repudiate the high principios which they them selves beforehand had expressed and endorsed. As citizens of America, a country Which In the great world war played a part that will be always viewed by her citizens with just pride, wo view with tho deepest humiliation tho chango of front on tho part of these men, who sought to destroy Wood row Wilson and detract from tho achievements of tho Democratic party, and who were willing not only to repudiate tho views which they themselves had formerly held, but also to botray the honor of their country." Laney Scores Leaders. The convention was called to order at noon by Ex-Govornor John Gary Evans, of Spartanburg, chairman of the Stato Democratic Executive Com mittee, and Immediately tho names of M. L. Bonham, of Anderson, for mer Adjutant General of tho Stato, ?nd Georgo K. Laney, Senator from Chesterfield county, were placed in nomination for temporary chairman of tho convention. In tm impassioned speech Senator Laney took umbrage to the custom of a few leaders coming to Columbia on the night prior to tho convention and adopting a "slate," as ho called it, and "ramming lt down tho throats" of the delogates. Ho said, however, because of tho high rogart! for Gen. Bonham, he must withdraw his name. The Anderson nominee re futed tho imputation that he knew anything about a "slate." and Sena tor Laney replied that, his friends nominating him, did not refer to Gen. Bonham. Gen. Bonham was then unanimously elected. Tho temporary chairman referred to the prosperity of the country and inc united condition of the Democ racy of the State, and briefly told of tho glorious victory achieved by tho American troops itt their fight for world freedom. Ho told of Ibo great part taken by President Wilson In the council of the nations, of his guiding hand In the framing of tbe Versailles peace treaty and the cov enant of the leaguo of nations. When he returned to America, said Gen. Bonham, tbe President wan the fore most figure of tho world, and ho was met by a shameless partisan rancor, which bas defeated, temporarily at least, his great work for the world at tho peace table. "The treaty and covonnnt hold Ibo hope of peaco for the present and that, of tho future," declared tho speaker. "When tho history of this period is written," he declared, "tho name of Woodrow Wilson will portend among the greatest of this country." Gen. Bonham was optimistic ns to tho futuro of the party and expressed it as his opinion that tho Democrats havo a splendid chanco of hoing ro I turned to power in the general elecA tion. Ex-Gov. Sheppard Chairman. Ex*Governor John C. Sheppard, Stato Senator from Edgefleld county, was nominated and elected to the permanent chairmanship of the con vention. He told of tho trials and trihulations the Democracy of the | State went through during tho days of tho reconstruction, between 18(58 und 1S7?, and somo of the amusing and tragic tilings that occurred when the radical and negro went into con trol of tha State government. He recited the achievements of Hamp ton, Cary, Simpson, Butler, Coihrnn and others of that gallant body of mon vho relieved the State of a tyr annical and Illegal government. "From those days to this," he ex claimed, "wo have had a govern ment comparable with that of any Slate In tho Union." The former Governor declared Woodrow Wilson to be the equal of George Washington in the matter of patriotism, of Thomas Jefferson in wisdom and learning, and of Andrew Jackson In tho courage of his con victions when ho knows that he ls right. Resolution of Sympathy. The following resolution of sympa thy was unanimously adopted and at once wired to President Wilson: "Resolved, That ? we, the Demo crats of South Carolina, in conven tion assembled, hereby tender to the Hon.Woodrow Wilson,the groat lead er of the party, our sincere and pro found sympathy In his recont illness, and assure him that lt is our hope that ho may soon be fully restored to health and strength In order that ho may again assume the leadership of the moral forces of the world."

In the platform adopted to-night the following achievements of the Wilson administration were extolled: Tho abolition of tho tariff law; tho progressive income tax that made tho rich bear a Just proportion of the taxe??, taking thc burden from the backs of the producers; the farmers' loan act, that enabled farmers to ob tain cheap money on long time, through non-taxable farm loan bonds, thus compelling land mort gage banks to lower the rate of in terest, a measure that the Republi cans aro tryihg to repeal; the Smith Lever agricultural extension act, put ting the services of the great agri cultural department at the door of every farmer; the good roads act; tho rural free delivery system; tho I parcel post system; the Department of Labor, giving the workers a mem ber of tho cabinet; the child labor act, giving the children the right to be educated; tho eight-hour law, giving the railroad and industrial workers a chance to soe their fami lies; the workmen's compensation act; the exemption of farmers and laborers from the anti-trust act, de claring labor not a commodity; the act for vocational training, giving soldiers a means for earning a live lihood; the huildnig of a -great mer chant marine, carrying cotton and cotton goods to foreign ports in American ships and opening South ern ports that woro bottled up by Republican magnates; the anti-trust act, destroying monopolies; the Fed eral trade commission to destroy un fair business dealings; the great F?deral reserve banking act, which dostroyed tho money trusts, made panics impossible and enabled the country to finance the great war without a bank failure. The world war was fought, financed and won without a scandal, and those who wore most able were made to pay the bill; tho act requiring the election of United States Senators by popular volo. The platform rejoiced in the large prosperity enjoyed by the State and tho nation during the past few years, hut condemned the mothods of profiteering practiced in certain quarters. It cautioned the people against undue extravagance, and asked them to be more circumspect in their purchases; urged the elim ination of waste and extravagances and luxuries, which, it affirmed, would causo a more proper level of tho economic law of supply and de mnnd.

This purpose is expressed by the enormous resources, extraordinary skill and scrupulous care applied to the manufacture of Goodyear Tires in the largest tire factory in the world devoted solely to the 30x3*, 30x3%*, and 31 x 4-inch sizes? The effect of this endeavor is noted in the fact that last year more cars using these sizes were factory-equipped with Goodyear Tires than with any other kind.

Convention Refuses Suffrage. Tho convention to-night adopted tho resolution committee's unfavor' ablo report on the Charleston reso lution proposing to enfranchise tho women of tho State, thc vote being 246 to 68. Tho convention was p di ed by counties, the chairman of each delogation giving the vote as tho name of tho county was called. The motion to poll tho convention waa mado by Congressman Dominick af ter several hours of warm debate. ; Before making this motion Mr. Dom . lnlck had attempted to get tho flooi I to speak for the South Carolina del ' ogatlon. T he privilege was denied In consequence of tho wearied crowd During the debate a warm alter cation took place between Christi? Benet, of Conimbla, and W. P. Pol lock, of Choraw, both former Unltoc States Senators for this State, ant both having voted on opposite side: ?during thoir tepure of office on tin suffrage question. Tho tilt came a 1 the conclusion of Mr. Benet's speech 'during which the Richland count: j dolcgato had said he had chargo< supporters of suffrage as being the self-appointed spokesmen for the women. Mr. Benet said he also un derstood that certain political an nouncements had been hanging fire for several months, "waiting for the ratification, by one more State, of the Susan B. Anthony amendment, and they are still hanging lire wait ing on tip-toe for (he dawn." Mr. Benet also charged that those women who had been most active in the State were paid workers, which statement brought a protest from Senatorchristensen and cries of "No" from the gallery, which was occu pied by women. Senator Christensen said he resented from the bottom of his heart any reflection on the wo men of the State who were seeking suffrage. lionet and Pollock Have Tilt. Senator Christensen 'also took Mr. Benet to task for his statement as to ponding political announcements. When Mr. Benet said that the charge did not apply to him, but did apply to Mr. Pollock, the Chesterfield del egate, Mr. Pollock jumped to his feet and spoke to a point of personal privilege. Prolonged bitter exchanges passed between the two, Mr. Pol lock reminding Mr. Benet that twice the Richland county man had been appointed to omeo by Governors,each timo only to fnil to got the omeo when he wont before tho people for re-election. "If I'm self-appointed spokesman for the women, what commission has ho evor hold except an appointment by n Governor for whom ho was a running boy? Ho says I am on tip-too waiting to nnnuonco my candidacy as soon ns tho women can vote. I wondor If the political bee is buzzing in his bonnet, although tho South Carolina electorate has twice repudiated him?" Mr. Benet at once rose to his feet and reminded tho convention that ho did not object to reasonable criti cism for his utterances, but ho felt that tho speaker was going too far. "Who started this?" Mr. Pollock continued. At once Mr. Bonot retorted: "I have nover had a cat named after me." "I wonder if you can say as much n? to yellow dog?!" Mr. Pollock shot back.
