Winnie Davis Opposed to Woman's Suf-

RICHMOND, Sept 5-The Dispatch
will say editorially in the morning:
There is newspaper story afoat that
Miss Winnie Davis, being in favor OF
woman suffrage, has said that she would
vote the Republican tieket if she had
the right TO do so.
1--WE have 1T from the best authority
that this statement is false in all of it's
particulars. Indeed, such a monstrous
proposition from one of Mrs. Davis
family would be impossible. The fact
is thai Miss Winnie Davis is opposed to
woman suffrage, but we're she in favor
of it, she could never contemplate Join
ing party which has SO bitterly revlled
her father, to say nothing OF its hostil-
ity to our people. The hearts Of and lot
of Mrs Davis and her children are with
the South, and the temerity Of the per.
son who attempts to put them in any
other position is inexplica ble."
