WOMEN STORM
CAPITOL TO ARGUE
SUFFRAGE ISSUE
Want Constitutional Amend
ment to Give Women the
BallOt-SenatOrs Argue
for the "Cause"

Washington, April 26-Suffragists for the
second time I'm a week again stormed the
capitol to argue why women should have
the ballot and be admitted to suffrage on
the same plane as men through the adop
tion of a constitutional amendment.
Chief among those present to plea for
universal suffrage was Mrs. Anna How
ard Shaw, president of the National
American womans Suffrage association.
She was ably seconded by Miss Helen
yarricl Boswell, president of the wom-
ems National Republican association;
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, wife of the for
mer pure food advocate; Mrs. William
Kent, wife of a representative from Cali
fornia, and several others.
Advance Arguments
Two senators, Shafroth of Colorado and
Brady Of Idaho and the wives of two
members Of the upper house OF Congress
also were ready to advance arguments for
the cause"
The women .wers Mrs. Robert NJ. Las
Follette and Mrs. Sutherland OF Utah.
Representative Bryan OF Washington
state also was among the pleaders.
Mrs. LaFollette argued that women
were as vitality interested In tariff legis-
Iation as the men and declared that ev-
ery important piece of legislation before
Congress in tho last rs years had affected
women equally.
IF tho tar1r IN any way AFFECTS the
prfoe ws pay for what we eat and wear.
II the trusts and combinations have any
thing to do with the higher cost OF liv-
ing women should understand about It"
said Mrs LaFollette. 'If the prices of the
great staples like beef. sugar, oil, cotton,
woolens and other necessities are fixed
by monopoly; II the tariff affects the
cost of the ohildren's food and clothes,
tho only radical way to right the wrong
Is through national legislation.
Women do the buying. Ninety per
cent of SO, 900. 10000 paid out annually in
the United States for food, clothes and
shelter fs spent by women"
Would Bring Changes
Mrs. LaFolIette said she was not one
of those who believed that equal suf-
fraRe would bring about any Immediate
radical changes, and declared that the
real issue in the suffrage struggle was
whether It was in the interest Of the
home and of society, which she main
tained 1t was.
Miss Helen varrick Boswell argued that
4 federal law would be the quickest and
surest way to procure equal suffrage, and
Mrs Kent said that women suffrage had
worked well.
DR.. Shaw made the concluding argu-
ment, saying
I'VE are not afraid of the ladies who
are going up and down the land opposing
suffrage. They are just enough in num-
ber so that by holding out their skirts
they can make q screen for the men op-
Grating dens of vice and iniquity and
prostitution to hide behind"
Clifford Pfnchot said:
"Of course, we all know that equal suf-
frage is coming, the only question is In
what FORM"
