EASY YLET-DOWN| IS
DEMOCRATIC PLAN
Western Senators May Have
"Faces Saved" BY Action
of Conference Board.

Plans to let recalcitrant Democratic
Senators down easy on the wool and
sugar schedules are being worked out
among the Senate leaders. They will
be followed IL the pressure for duties
on those articles becomes too intense.
Briefly, these plans amount to a de-
syn to save the faces of certain West
srn Senators with their constituents.
fA.y will not affect the form OF the
I'LL as finally passed.
If need be, certain Democrats will be
allowed TO vote in the Senate for
amendments to the wool and sugar
eheAeles imposing Is per cent duty
on fp~ wool and emitting the three
year hnitation as to imposition of a
duty n sugar. The bill VII then 60
10 confluence. In conference, the in
creases Ntll be stricken out.
When sAe bill returns to the Senate
from conference, and 1t Is put up to
Democrats 10 vote the conference re-
port as Q Iihole up or down, then IL Is
expected that all the Democratic Sena-
tors will line up for 1t, but the two from
Louisiana.
This plan would get some of the
Western Depocrats partially out of q
tight hole. they would be able to say
TO their constituents that they had
fought against free wool or free sugar
tr both. and had only yielded at last
when II became q question of passing
the bill or defeating II.
President Wilson has been advised OF
this plan to give some OF the Demo-
cratic Senators rein when the bill is IN
the open Senate. and then pull in hard
q them when the bill gets out of con-
fefence. He understands the situation.
That 10 the reason for his continued ex-
preston OF confidence that the bin viii
pass with little change. and without
material increases.

SUFFRAGE IS ISSUE
IN ALABAMA FIGHT
Senator Johnston Forces the
Question on Congressman
Hobson, Who Seeks Seat.

The issue OF woman's suffrage will be
squarely raised in a Senatorial cam
paign in Alabama in the fight over the
succession to Senator Joseph Forney
Johnston. 1t will be the first time
wherein a candidate for the Senate will
endeavor TO win election by making anti
suffrage the chief plank of his platform
Senator Johnston himself is the man
who will espouse the cause of opposi-
tion to suffrage. Congressman Rich
mond p. Hobson. of naval fame, well
known as an advocate of suffrage, will
stand by his guns and uphold votes for
women.
All indications are that this contest
Will be one Of the most picturesque and
interesting Senatorial Campaigns OF
recent years. Captain Hobson Is a IA
mfllar figure In the halls of Congress,
and on the lecture platform, and Sena-
tor Johnston, who served in the Confed-
four times. Is an able campaigner.
Johnston Raises Question.
Johnston. not Hobson. raised the suf-
frage question. Captain Hobson would
like to make the race as a progressive
Democrat and an advocate of a greater
navy. with more or less to say about
the yellow peril and the need of a great
fleet Of battleships In the Pacific. II
Senator Johnston would let him. he
would go from stump to stump in Ala
bama sounding wars alarums with fer
vor. But Johnston isn't going to have
II that way.
He Is going TO call on the people of
Alabama In the primaries to turn Hob
son down because the captain favors
votes for women. Votes for women,
Senator Johnston and his friends are al
ready pointing out, would mean that
the colored women Of the South would
vote.
Captain Hobson contends that votes
for women Is not an issue in the Ssra-
torial campaign. Johnston and MS
friends intend to insist that II is an
issue. and to keep It before the voters
as an issue.
Women May Take Hand
The probabilities are that before the
primary fight is over. suffragist and
anti-suffragist women of prominence I'm
this country will be drawn into It. For
the Johnston men already are forcing
the question to the front. Congressman
Blackmon. who is opposed TO Hobson,
is out in 4 statement in which he sup
ports Johnston and raises the suffrage
issue.
The point will be made by the john
ston men that. while the South has
found ways to keep colored men from
voting. there would be no preventing
colored women voting II a constitu-
tional amendment were adopted grant

felicitous ending the feud between the
Hohenzollern and the Guelphs which
for more than fifty years has caused a
great deal of friction in European poll
tics and has greatly complicated the
political relations between Germany and
England. The feud dates back to the
time of George /, who. when he sue
ceeded to the English throne. was both
Duke OF Brunswick-Lueneburg and
King of Hanover. At that time here
and the kingdom were independent
states in which their rulers held large
property and revenue rights. There
was another house of Brunsw ok, the
house OF Brunswick Wolfenbuettcl,

Duke of Brunswick.
The dukedom was then claimed by
the house Of Brunswick -Lueneburg.

Ernest August, Duke OF Cumber-

caused the German Emperor to oppose
the succession Of the Duke of Cumbcr-

and to the enjoyment Of the possessions
OF the DuSo of Brunswick. All efforts
