WILSON SEES WOMEN
SAYS HE FAVORS "HOUSE COM
MITTEE" ON SUFFRAGE.
Write Message to Congress Fa-
voring the Reform.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The president
on Monday told n delegation from the
| National American Woman's Suffrage
association that he favored a standing
woman's suffrage committee in the
house Of representatives, but he re-
fused their request that he send a
the reform.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, president
of the association, summarized BRIEF
ly their appeal to the president to as
sist the movement either by sending
a special message to congress, by In
Guiding reference to suffrage in any
general message he might deliver or
by using his influence to have a
| special committee OF the house ap-
pointed to consider the subject.
Il want you, ladies' said the presi-
lent to the delegation, ito realize
Just what my prcsant situation Is, II /
can make 1t clear to you
Whenever I walk abroad real
ize I am not q free man: l am under
| arrest. I am so carefully and admir-
ably guarded hat / have not even the
privilege of walking the streets
That is, as it were, typical Of my pres
ent transference from being an indi-
vidual with his mind or any and every
subject, to being an official of a great
government and, incidentally. or SO 1t
falls u under our system of govern,
ment, the spokesman of a party.
'In other words, 1 nave not yet pre-
scented to any legislature my private
views on any subject. and l never
shall, because I conceive that to be
part of the whole process Of govern
ment, that l shall be spokesman for
somebody, not for myself. 1t would
be an im%pertinence. When l speak
for myself / am an individual; when
am spokesman of an organic body
am a representative.
For that reason, you see, l am by
my own principles shut out. in the
language OF the street. from starting
anything l have to confine myself
to those things which have been EN-
bodied as promises to the people al
an election. That Is the strict rule
set for myself"
