Mrs. George Bass, of Chicago, Chair man of the woman's bureau presided. One of those who did not attend was Miss Mary E. Foy, of Los Angeles, one of the foremost Western women in the party, who was declared un equivocally fo ra third term for Presi dent Wilson. Miss Foy’s absence was explained as being due to her preoccu pat ion with a committee meeting which was arranging the seating at the convention. Observers of the women’s first gath orings were convinced that they were determined to go feminine Republi cans one better. Republican women stressed the harmony idea, but made no secret of having their differences and of their disappointment at not getting all they wanted from the men. The impression that has been allowed to go from the Women’s Pub licity Bureau is that the women have no differences which thev cannot comf pose in entirely amicable and inform al discussion and that the change in party rules whereby they hope to get an absolutely equal share of party c m Do! and nianaginent will he accom plished by the convention itself.

It appears at thlsi time that the best the “wets” majrj hope for is a platform which will! ignore the eytreme “dry” views of the] Bryan-Anti-Suloon League faction. There is so much talk rumor andj forecast about what the platform male) ers are to do when they come to d« cldc oh tne prohibition plank that Is difficult to obtain the facts.
