APOLOGY TO Mr.. TAFT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. April 15- -Sunragettcs.
anu-Suffragists, and disinterested per-
sons to-day agree that the kissing of the
President OF the United States at last
nights session of the Woman Suffrage
convention here will prove one OF the
hardest blows the suffrage cause ever suf-
fered.
The leaders of the National Woman Suf-
frage Association to-day are doing their
utmost to minimize the incident and many
OF them conter1 that the Representation
that greeted the Presidents limited en-
dorsement Of the suffrage movement was
not engineered by the suffrage delegates
but by outsiders.
The national officers Of the association
express deep regret at the occurrence, and
they are doing their utmost to shift the
responsibility. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
national president said to-day:
1T was not our people who Missed and
hooted. The demonstration was made by
persons whom recognized as outsiders" ."
DR.. Shaw and the other officers assert
that the kissing and catcalling was con-
fined to one part Of the hall. and that the
general body OF the delegates did not join
I'm the expression Of dlsapproval.
Spectators in the hall. however, contend
that the Kissing was general and that 1t
was plainly an expression OF the feelings
Of many Of the suffrage delegates.
THE demonstration did not start in the
back Of the hall" said j. W. Nye. Of
Langdon. d. c.. but in the midst OF the
delegates It was a spontaneous outburst
Of feeling against the Presidents state
ment by the suhragists. Several hundred
in every part OF the hall Joined in the hiss
ing and hootng."
May Send Letter Of Apology.
Recognizing the possibilities Of trouble
in the situation the executive committee
of the National Woman Suffrage Assoc a.
ton to-day took up for consideration the
sending OF letter Of apology and regret
to the President. Many Of the women fee
that some action is absolutely necessar,
in order 10 minimize the feeling that th'
incident viii undoubtedly cause.
The declaration that drew tho disappro
val Of the suffragists was that the SUI
frage II extended to women would prob
ably be exercised by the least desirab'
element" and neglected by many Of tn
intelligent and desirable. The word
least desirable" aroused the ire OF som
and the rest OF the sentence was lost Il
the uproar The President officially recog
nlzed the kissing and administered a gen
tie rebuke. He again recognized the Incl
dent to-day when the official copy of III
speech as approved by him, and entere'
in the White House iler included, in par
enthess after the offending paragraph
'IIisses from several parts OF the hall"
The President appeared very much dis
turbed and after the Missing mad cease
rebuked them by saying that this demon
straton was but an evidence Of the self
restraint they needed TO acquire befor
they could hope to govern.

HEARST REPUDIATES
COLONEL BRYAN

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The doclara-
tion made by John Temple Graves. the
spokesman Of William Randolph Hearst
and of the Independence League that the
person and the organization that he rep
resents were willing TO return TO the Dem
ocratic party was modulated somewhat to-
day.
Some Democrats Of national prominence
are asking themselves whether there are
not too many conditions attached to the
Hearst proner and whether the Demo-
cratic party, In accepting it, would not
really be going over TO the Independence
party.
In an editorial written on the same night
as that In which he made his speech
Graves practically read William j. Bryan
out of the party and said that his letter
committed THE unspeakabie folly on
glorifying the free silver crusade of the
last decade and Of raising the ghost of IS
to 1.
This reputation Of Bryan and his form
er policies is hotly resented by large and
influential section of the Democratic party.
on the other hand there is a disposition
not to take the Graves editorial too seri-
ously. This view was expressed by Champ
Clark to-day when he said
1T Is one of many signs that show that
we are on the winning trail. The Demo
Gratis got together and stayed together
and the recent battle Of the House; we
pulled off a rousing Democratic victory
