WAR Nj HELP To
SUFFRAGE, SAYS
JANE ADDAMS
Chicago Leader Says Social
Changes Will Come Through
Moral Energy.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16-Miss Jane Ad.
dams, publicist, suffragist and termed
the foremost woman in America,
discussed the difference between the
gentle American woman vote wishel
and the militant English woman vote
chaser.
She was replying. to a paper whicr
prepcunded to her four question.
HERE is QUESTION NO. /:
is It not hard for the happy
cat that dozes by the fire to judge
fairly the other cat lodging
brickbats on the jagged back
fence?"
TO THIS MISS adams REPLIED
TT is very hard'-and because
1t did look like sleek and pros
porous person judging a brave
and splendid person fighting
battle against wrong, l hesitated
long time and only spoke with
great care and consideration, ex-
pressing every possible admira-
ton for Mrs. Pankhurst."
HERE IS QUESTION NO. 2:
is not the politely treated,
highly considered, much revered
American woman of the prosper
Gus class little like tabby by the
fire."
MISS Adams ANSWERED.
she certainly does not look like
a sleek tabby' by the fire and
is in a position which is very
hateful. One would very much
prefer to take the part of an
'outcast right ard I think my
record shows l have often done
that.
But if you believe the person
fighting out in the cold is MAX
ing mistake II principles, then
1t is your business to stand by
your principles, although doing 80
may put you in a disagreeable
position. of appearing sleek and
prosperous and opposing hero
ism.
QUESTION. NO. 8 WAS:
And is not the English wom-
an, abused by the laws, treated
as a mans chattel and inferior,
ridiculed and desptsed for asking
her rights, somewhat of a cat on
the back fence?"
MISS adams ANSWER:
Il was very careful TO state in
the interview that l did not judge
the English situation.
HERE IS QUESTION NO. a:
when you see a fine Angora
pussy. with her velvety nose
against the plate glass inside the
drawing room, shaking her paw
at the miauling backyard fence
cat and saying, Naughty, naugh-
ty militant pussy do you not see
the gentle American vote-wisher
rebuking the determined English
vote cha ser?"
MISS ADDAMS SAID:
Il was very cautious not to call
Mrs. Pankhurst naughty On the

ENTIRE COUNTRY
WATCHES GREAT
ALABAMA FIGHT
Struggle Between 'Hobson and
Underwood for Senate EcIipses
Interest in Governorship Battle.

BIRMINGHAM, Nov. f5.-The two
great campaigns on in Alabama are
attracting attention throughout the
country. Nationally more interest Is

the contestants Congressman oscar
w. Underwood and Congressman
Richmond Pearson Hobson, waging a
strong fight Before the expiration %
the coming week both candidates will
have well perfected organizations,
with headquarters in the larger cities
Of the State.
Leaves II to Friends.
Congressman Underwood has an
nounced that when called to Wash
ington he will have to respond and
that he will leave the fight in the
hands of his friends. Congressman
Hobson has made statements that he
is in the contest to the last and will
he found making the fight personally
as well as with his numerous friends.
Forney Johnston, son Of the late
United States Senator Joseph F..
Johnston who is chairman of the
Central Underwood Campaign com
mittee, says that an organization is
being welded that is so strong there
can hardly be any doubt as to the
result on the other hand, it is an
nounced by friends of Captain Hob
son here that on Tuesday when the
conference will be held In Birming-
ham by the Hobsonites, that il will
be seen what kind of an organiza ton
can be put together for the Merrimac
hero. The conference promises to be
attended by citizens from all parts
Of the state, and It is expected that
selections will follow of the execu-
tives of the proposed organization.
Five Men in Race.
The other campaign that Is attract
ing attention is that of the Cover
norship With five men in the race,
b. b. Corners close friends assert
that the effort of the other four can
didates, Charles Henderson Reuben
f. kolb. Walter d. Seed and John
II. Wallace, appears to be directed
at the former Governor. The meet
ing of Messrs. Kolb and Henderson
in Birmingham during the week did
much to stir up interest In the Guber-
Material canvass.
That prohibition Is to be an issue is
also mentioned by conservative lead
ers here. Liquor and local option
men are becoming a little restless, it
is stated, inasmuch as the election
Of either 3. b. Conner or w d. Seed
would mean Statewide prohibition.
