At the St Louis conventiom the crowd struggled for enthusiasm until Glynn framed the pacifist keynote around peace under provocation. Delegates roared for more, then quieted as talk of preparedness and Wilson followed, with official routines and demonstrations fading into silence.
In St. Louis June 14, Temporary Chairman Martin Glynn lauds Woodrow Wilson as a crisis leader who kept the nation out of war. He argues Americanism and peace define Democratic policy and predicts Wilson’s re election amidst praise for neutrality and preparedness.
At the opening of the Democratic National Convention in St Louis on June 14 1916 party managers plan to downplay tariff issues and stress peace. They aim to align the platform with Republicans on core matters while courting Progressive voters and avoiding personal attacks on Hughes.
New York Democrats claim unity against Tammany foes and anticipate a hard battle for Mayor and state races. They assess Hughes as weaker than ideal Republican rivals and expect contests in New Jersey Illinois Indiana and the western states as President Wilson faces a broadened cross‑section of opposition. Women voters and the split Progressive movement loom as influential factors in the coming fall contest.
Campaign button design for the Democratic regulation campaign features the motto America First. A. W. C. Lean, a National Committeeman from North Carolina, designed the button which will bear President Wilson's image and bold red lettering.
