WOMAN SUFFRAGE DISCUSSED
A SOMEWHAT STORMY MEETING
IN NEW YORK CITY.
Men and Women of Worldwide Prom
inence Argue the Topic of Bal
lot for Women.

New York City.-New York was a
storm center Friday of argument for
and against woman suffrage and in the
very vortex of the whirling winds
there remained suspended, as it were,
a letter on the subject from the presi-
dent of the United States. The storm
centered in the meeting of the Ma
tional League for the Civic Education
of Women, in the Berkley theatre,
where the subject of universal
suffrage for women was considered.
The organization is opposed to woman
suffrage. Dr. Lyman Abbott was the
principal speaker and it was he that
presented a letter from President
Roosevelt. The letter was interpreted
in various ways by the auditors and
DIR. Abbott was often interrupted by
applause and by shouts of disapproval.
A climax came when score or
more suffragists united in denuncia-
tion of the attitude of conservatism
which the president had taken in his
letter. The shouts of the suffragist
leaders became SO troublesome that a
few policemen were asked to seek out
the offenders. They We're threatened
with ejectment and finally the dis
turbance was quieted.
At the conclusion of the lecture,
however, the suffragists withdrew to
the sidewalk, where an Indignation
meeting was held. Mrs. Borman
Wells, who said she had just come
from England after spending three
weeks in Holloway jail for trying to
break into the house of commons, was
one of the leaders of the outside meet
ing.
At the meeting proper the theatre
was well filled. Richard Watson Gil
der presided and said that the mem
bers of the society did not believe that
women should be burdened with poll
tics. President Butler of Columbia
university spoke in sympathy with the
leagues work and read letter from
Secretary of State Elihu Root
Friday night at Carnegie hall the
woman suffragists had their turn in a
meeting under the auspices of the In
ternational Woman Suffrage council.
Mrs. Philip Snowden leader of the
suffragist movement in England; Mrs.
Clarence Mackay and Dr. Charles +.
Aked of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
church spoke.

Every old woman has her assortment
of signs" to tell whether the we'd
ding day is lucky" but a brave young
woman can wrestle with adverse
omens and get the better of all. When
an English girl arrived at the church
in which she was to be married she
found it on fire, with four engines
deluging it. The firemen said she
could not go in; yet in she went, by
way of the vestry; and although the
flames were sweeping up from the
other end and smoke and sparks were
in the air she held her party stead
fast until the ceremony was conclud-
ed. The church was destroyed; but il

Taft's Southern Trip Profitable.

The vote in those southern states in
which voting still means something
indicates that Mr. Tafts courteous at
titude was not lost on the southern
public. In Virginia, an additional
seat in the house Of representatives
has, apparently, been won by the Re-
publicans. North Carolina has sent
three Republican representatives to
Washington and the Democratic ma
jority in the state has been decreased.
The city of Richmond has seen, for
the first time in years, Republican
campaign conducted by the most re-
spectacle and substantial element in
the community. In Georgia, free
speech and a free division of opinion
have been courtenanced, and both the
Watson ticket and the Republican
ticket have received generous sup
port. The old Bourbon intolerance
has given way 10 liberality and mod
Grafton, and the south is beginning to
awake to the fact that its own politi-
cal and material development has
been retarded by the failure to en-
courage its people to think and act
for themselves.

Sees End of Bryanism.

The New York Times sees nothing
for Bryan but annihilation, and "the
crushing defeat of ambition evokes
not one spark of pity" The peopl
have pinned their faith to a states
man proved to be capable. just, firm,
fair, courageous and WISE"
"Under the conditions OF a popular
ballot this decision is the record of
some 100000 individual judgments.
Men vote alone, they do not think
alone. The majority millions who
elected Mr.. Taft president of the
United States were moved by just
sense, common TO them all, of the
public veal, by a common desire, a
common purpose to put into safe and
competent hands the executive con-
troll of the nations affairs. Their judg-
ment was unerring, their decision was
given with an emphasis that reflects
the soundness of their understanding.
and the firm convictions of their
minds. In a sense it is astonishing,
but we expect the American people,
when their enlightenment is appealed
to, to behave in just that way. No
finer triumph of republican institu-
tions and of the republican theory of
government was ever recorded"

A Merry Heart.

Why do you wear a harassed and
troubled look? Are you really in trou-
BILE, or are you allowing the little wor.
ries Of life to grind burrows in your
face? Take glance at yourself in the
mirror and reform-that is, reshape
your face into the lines of comfort and
good cheer which it ought to wear.
Take an honest inventory of your trou-
bles, and decide whether or not they
are really worth advertising in your
countenance, urges the New York
Weekly. 1t may seem little thing to
you whether or not you wear a smil-
ing face, but it is not little thing
A serene look informs the tired and
troubled men and women whom you
meet that there is peace and JOY in
at least one heart. And there may be
among them some who had begun to
doubt if peace or joy existed at all.
"A merry heart doeth good like a med
icine."

Will Not Stand for "eryanism."

One demonstration of the campaign
lust ended is this, namely: That De-
mocracy can not win before the Amer
ican people in its present alliance
with that system of political notions
and purposes which, for want of a
more definite name, the country has
come to call Organism. Before De
mocracy can come again into power it
must find a new and better creed,
based upon principles, and competent
by it's powers of appeal to command
the respect of the country. The Amer.
ican people will not turn over the re
sponsibilities of government to a
party OF shifting ideas and policies,
lacking the assurance afforded by fixed
principles and habits, and whose sue
cess would be nothing less than a
menace to the business prospects OF
the country.

Mr.. Taft and the Catholics.

Mr.. Taft's letter, dated October 9, TO
Rev. Magnus Larson, a preacher of
st. Paul, Mimi, is straightforward.
sensible and satisfying. 1t would have
made a serviceable campaign docu-
ment, so clearly and sanely does i:
meet the issue raised by the clerical
inquirer, but il is well to avoid on
principle all religious dispute on the
eve of an election. Mr.. Taft effective
ly sets at rest the silly rumors that a
huge sum of money was paid out of
the United States treasury to the
Spanish friars in the Philippines. and
that he ever made a special plea for
the Roman Catholic church in the Phil
ippines. His statement of the United
States governments relations with the
Catholics in our far eastern de-
pendency is coherent and valuable on
its own account as a lucidly written
chapter of recent history.
OF course, no large proportion of the
American people were ever affected
by the doubts Mr. Larson expressed
in his letter The votes show that re
ligious bias has no influence in the
election.

Motion by Young.

The following motion was then pre-.
name of Governor Cummins be pre-
sented to the convention by Robert
Healy as the choice Of the delegation
present here, for the vice presidential
nomination"
Frank W. Simmons Of Ottumwa
moved to amend the motion as fol
lows: "That Mr.. Perkins, chairman of
the delegation be elected to formally
withdraw the name of Mr.. Dolliver il
presented to the convention"
There is little question but that
Governor Cummins' name will go be-
fore the convention and the Cum
minis managers are now working with
the other state delegations to win sup,
port for his candidacy.
The withdrawal of Mr. fairbanks,
which the Indiana managers claim Is
final, will add strength to the Iowa
candidacy.
Fairbanks Refusal Dsturbs stormy
Seaa.'
A decidedly emphatic reiteration by
Vice President Fairbanks Of his deter
manation not to be candidate for re-
nomination has disturbed the already
stormy vice presidential sea into a
terrific gale with Fairbanks dashed to
the mast of the weather beaten ship
of state and the friends Of Gov. Cum
| minis striking out In life boats to his
| rescue. The Fairbanks statement,
made late last night in letter to
Joseph B. Healing, his political mana
ger, was seized upon by the friends OF
Governor Cummins as means of re.
viving the vice presidential boom
which had fallen fiat when the Dol
liver boom was punctured, and the
| events of today will demonstrate
| whether the eleventh hour reversal
will be effective.
| Last night John Briar, the COVER
nor's private secretary, arrived from
Des Moines, and went into consulta
ton with the Cumnins boomers on the
ground. Plans were then made to Sc
cure 5000 badges boosting Governor
Cummins for the vice presidential
nomination, and to distribute then
around the convention. 1t was later
decided not to order the badges unit
today, in order that any change il
sentiment over night might be taker
advantage of and any chance of max
ing further tactless blunders BIZ
avoided.
! No Announcement From Governor.
One thing is certain-it will not b.
given out that Cummins is a candi
date for the office. One of the Chi
cago afternoon papers yesterday hat
an article to the effect that the gov
ernor had wired his acceptance to Laf'
Young, but this proved to be absolute
!, ly without foundation. Mr.. Briar, J
[ G. Welliver, and the other heads 0

less 1t Is certain that Fairbanks is
clear out of the race and there Is no
other dangerous candidate who might
defeat the Iowan.
The Fairbanks Refusal.
The Fairbanks letter which develop
ed this new situation in the vice pres
idential fight is as follows:
Indianapolis, June 16.
My dear Healing: l appreciate
fully the compliment paid me by my
friends in their insistence that
should accept denomination for vice
president, yet my determination not
to be candidate again, as announced
before the close Of the last session
Of congress through you, is absolutely
irrevocable. My conclusion does not
grow out Of the want of any apprecia-
ton of the honor, for the vice presi-
dency Is an honor which any man will
well covet No one is obliged to step
down to 1t,
l have enjoyed the great honor
which came to me unsought and by
the undivided voice of my party, for
all of which I am profoundly CRATE
| full
This renewed expression of the con-
| fdence of my friends touches me
most deeply. They need no assur-
ance that I have come to the con-
clusion I have reached deliberately
and I trust that the personal con-
siderations which have advanced
viii commend themselves to their APP.
proval. l am the more confirmed In
the wisdom Of my conclusion because
OF the fact that there Is no party or
public exigency which would seem to
suggest contrary course.
Accept for yourself and other
friends my grateful appreciation Of
your generous, unfailing and Loyal
support. remain,
Faithfully your friend.
Charles W. Fairbanks
Mr. Fairbanks statement thai
''thero Is no party or public exigenc,
witch would deem to suggest a con
t.8ry course" has led many to believe
that If such an exlgency should arise
the vice president would accept tht
nomination. He has not said hi
would not accept the nomination IL
any of his letters, and Fairbanks IL
believed to be taking the position tina
if he is overtaken by the nomination
while he Is appearing to be runniDi
from it, he will accept.
