FATHER VAUGHAN Is
OPPOSED TO SUFFRAGE

The announcement by Father John
Durgan of st. Mary's church that
Father Bernard Vaughan, the famous
church orator of London. is going to
attend the Roundup and deliver a
lecture on "Our Homes, the Pillars
of the State" has aroused the spec
ulation of those familiar with his
opinions on "the modern woman" and
equal suffrage.
The fact that Rev. Anna Howard
Shaw will also attend the Roundup
and plead with the voters to support
amendment No. /, granting votes to
women, makes the situation interest
ing.
DR.. Shaw is an earnest advocate of
giving women the ballot. Father
Vaughan, on the other hand. as
strenuously opposes the activity Of
women in the political and business
fields, because he thinks such influ-
ences operate against the home, which
he considers the unit of the state.

NO INDEPENDENCE
FOR THE FILIPINOS
Democratic Senators VIII Not Let Meas
ure Pass-WilsOn Has About Sc
Iected Governor General.

Washington. D. c., Dec. 3O.-Either
Judge James H. Blunt, of Georgia and
Washington, or representative william
A Jones, of Virginia, will be the next
governor general of the Philippines to
succeed governor Gen. W. Cameron
Forbes. This has been authoritatively
announced here by senators and repre-
sentatives who have recently conferred
with president-elect Wilson, at Tren-
ton, n. J.
. The president elect is said to prefer
judge BlOunt, who has had six years
experience in the Philippines as
judge of the courts of first instance.
who served as an officer in the Phil
ippine instruction, and who is author
of a standard history of the American
occupation of. the islands. .Represen-
tative Jones is author Of the bill giving
limited independence TO the Filipinos
in 1921, but has never lived in the is
lands, his experience with the Filipinos
berg gathered from one brief tour
through the archipelago from Manila
several years ago. Jones is said also,
not to be anxious for the place, as he
prefers to remain at the head OF the
house insular affairs committee.
If judge Blount becomes governor
general he will make a clean sweep
of Republican office holders in the
Philippines as he is known not to be
Forbes government, and is particularly
hostile to secretary Of the interior
Worcester, of the island government
because for many years Worcester has
opposed Filipino independence.
The Jones bill under a special rule,
is scheduled to come up in the house
early in January, where it has excel
lent prospects OF passage, owing TO the
big Democratic majority. When the
bill goes to the senate it viii sleep
there, for this session, as the Repub-
lican majority is firmly opposed to
giving the Filipinos even promise OF
Independence for the future.
In the senate of the 63rd congress,
where there Will be a slender DemOcra-
tic majority of three, the Jones bill
probably will not fare any better than
in the present senate, because many
Democratic members of the upper house
are opposed to ever letting go a foot
Of United tSates territory, no matter
what the declaration of the Filipino
plank in the Baltimore platform.
