New York Governor Out to
Win Fight for Statewide
Direct Primaries.
WILL TRY TO DRIVE ALL
OPPOSING 1T OUT OF PARTY
Republicans, Progressives and Inde-
pendence Leaguers Indorse Bill
Proposed by Executive.

ALBANY. n. Y. April 26.-GOv. Sulzer
threw down the gauntlet today in his
battle for statewide direct primaries
He made known in no uncertain terms
his determination to fight for such
legislation at conference Of democratic
county chairmen. who had been sum-
moned to Albany to discuss means OF
redeeming party platform pledges.
In his stand for direct primaries the
governor has the backing Of Col. Roose-
welt, who in a telegram to the executive
voiced his support of the project. The
legislative hearing today on the primary
bill favored by the governor. and in ex-
pressing his regret at being unable to
do so, he wired:
Cites Duty of Citizens.
1t is the duty of all good citizens in
this state to sustain you and aid you In
any possible way to secure the enactment
of this primary law at the present ses-
sion OF the legislature. Only by direct
primary legislation can we make the peO-
pie really masters Of their own party or
ganization, and it is as great an offense
against the people to swindle them out
of their right to control their own par
ties as to swindle them out of the right
to have their choice expressed at the
polls"
The conference Of county chairmen was
held prior to the legislative hearing, and
in outlining to the county leaders his pro-
gram for obtaining primary legislation
Gov. Sulzer spoke plainly:
Time to Decide Now.
IF any democrat is against me in
my determination to keep democratic
faith. / must of necessity be against
him." he declared. Those who help
me will win my everlasting gratitude:
those who oppose me will merit my
enmity and democratic condemnation.
Every chairman of every democratic
committee in every county Of the state
must now decide whether he is going
to be with me or going to be against
me in trying to carry out our platform
pledges. He must either be party
to driving me out of public life or
must be a party to driving him out
of the democratic party.
III you think l will not fight you have
another big think coming. II YOU imagine
that do not know the rules of the game.
remember ] have been In the game all
my life. They beat Gov. Hughes. but
am determined they shall not beat Gov.
Sulzer.
To Use All His Power.
IAN the power. all that IL honest. and
all good agencies win be used by me
from now henceforth to defeat and crush
democrats who would make the demo-
cratic party OF the state Of New York
the laughing stock of the people: who
would make the democratic party of the
state a political hypocrite and political
liar
The conference, representing about
fifty Of the sixty-one counties OF the
state. adopted resolutions indorsing the
bill proposed by Gov Sulzer.
AT the legislative hearing later. which
Col. Roosevelt had been asked to at
tend. arguments in favor Of the bill were
advanced by democrats. republicans. pro-
gressives and members Of the Independ-
ence League.

A FAVORABLE
REPORT ON SUFFRAGE
Committee impressed by Argu.
meDts of Women, Senator
Thomas Believes.

Ihat the Senate woman suffrage COM
mittee probably will present to the SEN
ate some time during the present session
OF Congress report recommending some
form Of constitutional amendment giving
nation wide votes for women : is eX-
pected by Senator Thomas OF Colorado,
chairman of the committee.
Following the conclusion Of the hearing
before the committee, during which sew
eral senators and representatives and
members of the National American Wo-
man Suffrage Association advocated votes
for women. Senator Thomas last night
said that he expected to get the question
before the Senate this session.
Senator Thomas said that the COM
mittee now has before it several pro-
posed amendments to the Constitution
all alike in purpose, but that he did
not know exactly what course his COM
mittee will take. He said he did not
expect to call a meeting TO consider
the question for some time. He is a
member OF the finance committee, and
therefore busy with the tariff.
Thomas Favors Amendment.
Senator Thomas personally is favor
able to some form of amendment, and
wili~try' TO get it passed by the Senate
He said last night sthat he could not
predict what the committee Will do un-
til a meetingS is held. but that he
thought the majority of the members
are Of the same opinion as. himself.
The committee held the hearing yester-
day because of the desire OF DIR. Anna
Howard Snaw, president of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association.
to leave the United States for Budapest.
where she will attend an International
suffrage meeting.
Senator Thomas said he thought the
members of his committee were favorably
impressed yesterday by the arguments
made by the suffrage advocates
All Of the speakers showed they were
in. earnest. he said. and excellent argu-
ments were presented by all.
The suffragists announced last night
that they will now concentrate their ef-
forts toward getting some kind of action
in. the House, stating that first of all
they want a House woman suffrage COM
mfttee. similar to the one in the Senate.

Michigan Senator Declares American

PITTSBURGH. Ia. April 26.-Cnited
States Senator Charles E. Townsend Of
Michigan. addressing the Americas Re
publican Club here tonight on the oc-
casion of its annual Grant day ban
auet. pleaded for a reunited republican
party, and to those who had strayed
from il in the last national campaign
he extended the ungloved hand OF
genuine party friendship
The senator in prefacing his plea re-
viewed the record of the party while
il was in power. drawing upon the
Treasury Department figures TO illus
trate his point. Comparison also was
made with the proposed policy of the
present administration and the new
tariff
Il am not here to quarrel with re-
pubiicans." said the senator. ''or to retard
the inevitable reunion which must occur
indeed. which. in Michigan and Chicago
and ST. Louis has largely occurred al
ready. although the separation in Massa-
ehusetts still continues"
Desire to Work With Them.
ITO those republicans who felt it was
their duty to divide the forces of the re-
publican party in the last campaign. and
thus 10 give the democratic party its
only possible opportunity for success.
extend the ungloved hand Of genuine
party friendship and ask them to accept
II as a token OF my strong desire TO
work with them in reuniting and re-
juvenating the party which We all have
supported in the past.
We can well afford to overlook the
personal differences which originated in
the choice of a national leader last year
and unite in making our party stronger
and better and more responsive to the
great present needs Of progressive gov
ernment.
In the face of democratic incompe-
tency. which seems to threaten our prog
ress and prosperity. it is clearly the duty
of all men who believe in republican
principles to unite in the common de-
fense of those American policies which
have made the United States at once the
glory and envy of the world.
Wants New Committee.

members of Congress who have the con-
fidence Of the great mass of republicans

sary to right understanding by the
people of the real issues which con-
front them This committee could be as

Vice President at the Grant night dinner
of the Middlesex Club tonight Both
were guests and speakers at the dinner.
The mention of their names as possible
republican nominees for 1916 by the toast
master of the banquet. John ID. Long.
former Secretary of the Navy. was re-
ceived with cheers.
There is room for only two big po-
Iitical parties in the United States" said
former Gov. Hadley in his address. Re-
publicans and progressives. he added.
differ only in methods and not in results
He believed the time would come when
they must agree il they would attain
their ends.
The split in the republican party at the
Chicago convention he attributed TO an
abuse OF authority by those in control
OF the party machinery. To prevent any
recurrence OF such an incident he rec
commended a change In the basis OF south
ern representation. and the selection OF
delegates 10 a national convention By
direct vote in each state and congress
sionai district.
Butler on Party's Future.
no dcnleSementS OF the republican
party Were reviewed by Mr. Hadley
and the toastmaster. Nicholas Murray
Butler. president Of Columbia Univer-
siiy, discussed the future Of the party
Dr. Butler asserted that "The repubIi-
can party never had a greater obliga
tion resting upon il than at this mo-
ment. and il never had a greater op-
portunity." The title OF his address
was The Republican Party in Opposi-
:ior.'
The place OF the party in opposition.
said the speaker. was an honorable and
important one. He wanted republicans to
bear in mind that the peoples govern
inent must be carried on and that the
opposition should use ..dflatory. no
pueriie and no merely partisan tactics
At Washington and in various state
capitals. he continued. the democratic
party had promptly begun to give evil
dence of its well known capacity for
laundering. The sum total Of the effect
of many OF the most popular undertak- K
!ngs of the present day would be to con-
rert this representative republic into
q socialistic democracy" The great task
OF nation building, he said. was being
GEdone.
Inequalities of Protection.
Dr. Butler asserted that his party had
lost support in both east and west be
cause Of excesses and inequalities in ap
plying the principle OF protection" He
retraced the false steps that had beer
taken and declared explicitly that some
of the existing import duties were .oe
high and should be reduced. But" he
added. 'the unfortunate complications
which attended the campaign of 1912 pre-
vented :he people generally from under

vention As soon as that attitude was

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AS AN ISSUE

Exchange:-Woman suffrage owes
its defeat to the Anti-Saloon League.
which made of it "wet" and dry"
issue and thus alienated from it the
sympathy of the liberal forces of the
various states, which Glands sternly
opposed to prohibition, no matter
what guise it may masquerade in.
In Wisconsin the opposition ap-
pears to have been due TO combina-
ton of racial, religious and other
pTejudices.
Michigan, by the way, appears to
have defeated woman suffrage, but
an analysis of the vote shows that
nearly all the dry counties voted
against it. while most of the wet
counties voted in favor of it. Incl
dentally we may say that the large
vote cast by the women of Colorado
against prohibition and by the women
of San Francisco and Los Angeles in
favor of the continuance of the Ii
cense policy indicates that the women
can be trusted to use good judgment
on such issues, when they are dis
cussed fairly upon their merits.
