SUFFRACISTSSCORE
PRESIDENT WILSON
IN HOT RESOLUTION
Over Failure
TO Mention 'eEiae Cause
in Message-Dr. Shaw
Leads Attack

Washington, December 2.-Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw. president of the National
Woman Suffrage association, created a
sensation at tonights session of the suf-
fsage convention. when she declared that
President Wilson had fallen short of the
greatest opportunity he ever had or would
ever have, in failing to say word in
behalf of woman suffrage today when
he read his annual message to Congress.
Her remarks provoked loud and pro-
longed applause.
DR.. Shaw said she had hoped the Presi-
dent would arise to the OCCASION but
that while he. had recognized the neces-
sity for the extension of the ballot to
the Filpinos and urged territorial voters
rights for Alaska he had failed to mem
ton woman suffrage in his message.
Feel Disappointment
president Wilson," she continued "re-
ferred in his message to the fact that the
time had come for an extension of greater
social justice and we women eagerly
listened to this, We had hoped that social
justice would include some measure of
political justice to the women Of the coun-
try. | feel fully that measure of disap-
pointment which, under the circumstances,
is natural, for the time had come for
the President to say word in our be-
half.
I'VE feel that President Wilson has
fallen short of the greatest opportunity
which has come to him or ever will come
to him No other President has ever had
such an opportunity. President Wilson
had the opportunity of speaking a word
which might ultimately lead to the en-
franehisement of large part of the hu-
man family. Even Lincoln. who, by a
word, freed a race. had not this oppor-
tunity to release from the bonds one
half OF the human family.

When Dr. Shaw concluded the conven-
ton amid enthusiastic cheering adopted
by accamation the following resolution,
introduced by DR.. j. William Funk of
Baltimore:

spiculously apparent. President Will

dressed a joint session in person.
early in his term, there was an at
mosphere of stiff formality; applause
was LIBERAL but perfunctory, and there
was an indefinable air of precedent
being broken--or a century old GUS
tom being revived Also there was an
expectant curiosity as to how the
President would be received. Today
the Presidents reception was warm,
almost rproarous, as he concluded his
reading.
Later, republicans and democrats
alike pronounced the message as the
utterance OF a statesman.

Most Needed Legislative Ac-
tiOns Briefly Touched
On by Wilson in His
Speech
WILSON

In HIS message to Congress yester-
day President Wilson presented a sug-
sestion that legislation be promptly
enacted providing for primary cleo
tions throughout the country at which
the voters of the several parties "can
choose their nominees for the presi-
dency without the Intervention of NOM
mating conventions"
Party conventions, the President urged,
should be retained but only for the pur-
pose of declaring and accepting the YER
dict of the primaries and formulating the
platform of the parties
The President suggested moreover that
the delegates consist of the nominees for
Congress- the nominees for the vacant
seats in the Senate, the senator's whose
terms have not yet closed, the national
committees and the candidates for the
presidency themselves, in order that
platforms may be framed by those respon-
sibe to the people for carrying them into
effect -
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-03
Policy of Common Council


On conservation the President suggested
a policy of common counsel and confer
ence ''along lines which need be no less
acceptable to the people and governments
of the states concerned than to the peo-
pie and government of the nation at
large"
The President declared that there need
be no conflict nor jealousy as between
state and federal authorities for there
can be no essential difference of purpose
between them.''
He argued the resources ought to be
used and not wasted or destroyed "A
common purpose, added he. ought to
make agreement easy
Recommendations that the bureau of
mines be empowered and equipped to rem
der more effectual service and that a fair
and effective employers liability act be
provided were the remaining subjects dealt
with.
