VICTORIA WILL RUN.
Mrs. Martin Accepts the Women SuffraEis
Nomination for President.

Mrs. Martin Accepts the Women SuffraEist
Nomination for President.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Mrs. Victoria
Clafiin Woodruff Martin. the candidate
of the women suffragists for president
of the United States, arrived
here from her English home on
the steamship Etruria, which, after
a night at quarantine, reached
her dock at 1850 Sunday morning. Her
husband, MIR. John Biddulph Martin,
London banker, who is worlds fair
commissioner from Great Britain,
accompanied the American presi-
Dental candidate. They will at
tend the dedicatory ceremonies
at Chicago. Immediately after the
ceremonies they will return to this city,
where the arrangements will be COM
pleted for the campaign speeches
which Mrs. Martin will deliver in
Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Washington, Pittsburgh, Cleveland,
Chicago and some other large cities.
Mrs Martin gave out for publication
her letter of acceptance Of the nomina-
ton for president by the convention of
woman suffragists. 1t is addressed to
Gamma NJ. Parker and others, national
nominating convention of women suf-
fragists." A synopsis is as follows:
The letter begins by stating that the nomina.
tion upon a woman's suffrage platform com.
mends itself to the writer especially
from the fact that the issue is one
which was originally raised and advocated
by her and others as long ago as 1870
lpffrk. a yva ~ mo mr.
as the principal plank in the platform of the
womans suffrage campaign Of 1872 when my
name was presented to the public as the first
female candidate for president Of the United
StateS.''
Mrs. Martin then quotes at length from her
addresses delivered during that campaign, in
which she argued that the fourteenth and e T.
teenth amendments to the constitution permit
ted this right of suffrage TO women, and she
earnestly cOmmends all good women to persist
entity demand this right. The plank in the plat
form adopted at the convention Of 1892 which
declares that "by the united efforts OF the
women voters of this nation we will drive an
archy. crime Insanity and drunkenness from
our midst by our humanitarian efforts, backed
by the ballot is next considered, and Mrs.
Martin says:
''Old constitutions are incompetent to deal
with the new conditions. The advance in
science has shown personal conditions of physi-
cal unntneSS OF humanity itself to grapple
with the various new conditions Of progress.
1t is becoming just as necessary now
to consider the important subject of
breeding intelligence and physical culture in
the human race as it is in the inferior animals.
