WILSON FAILED,
CRY SUFFRAGISTS
Could Have Risen to Sublim-
est Heights by a Word
for the Cause.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Dr. Anna Howard
Shaw, president Of the National Woman
Suffrage association, created a sensation
at to-night's session of the convention
when she declared that President Wilson
had fallen short of the greatest oppor-
tunity he ever had or would ever have
In failing to say a word in behalf of
woman suffrage to-day when h read his
annual message to Congress. Her re-
marks provoked loud and prolonged APP
plause.
Or Shaw said she had hoped that the
President would arise to the occasion,
but that while he had recognized the
necessity for the extension of the ballot
to the Filipinos, and urged territorial
voters rights for Alaska, he had failed
to mention women suffrage in his mes
sage.
president wilson, she continued.
referred in his message to the fact
that the time had come for an extern
sion of greater social justice and we
women eagerly listened to this. We
had hoped that social Justice would
include some measure of political JUS
tice to the women of the country. I
feel fully that measure of disappoint-
ment, which under the circumstance
is natural, for the time had come for
the President to say a word in our
behalf.
w feel that President Wilson has
ity which has come to him or ever
will come to him. No other president
has ever had such an opportunity.

of speaking "A word which might ulti-
matcly lead to the acknowledgment of
a large part of the human family.
Even Lincoln. who by a word freed a
race, had not this opportunity, to re-
lease from the bonds one-half of the
human family.
Il feel that | must make this statement
as broad as it is for the reason that we
at Buda Pest last year realized that
womenkind throughout the world looked
to the United States to blaze the way for
the extension of universal suffrage in
every quarter of this great globe. presi-
dent Wilson has missed the one thing that
might have made it possible for him
never to have been forgotten. ! am saying
this on behalf of myself and Of my fellow
officers"
When DIR. Shaw concluded the onvcn
ton, amid enthusiastic cheering. adopted
by ~acclamation the following resolution
introduced by DIR. j. William Funk of
Baltimore; Resolved. That it Is the
sense of this meeting that President Will
son failed to rise to the sublimcst heights
of democracy when he failed in his mos
sage to Congress to-day to recommend
the freedom of half the citizens of the
civilized world"

expected that when the money bags
were frightened that this would be the
case. The fact Is that money could
not keep pace with the development
natural to demands of 100000 new peo-
pie year. Towns and cities had to
be built to take care OF the country
and capital had not made sufficient
preparation.
But the crop OF 1918 will restore
conditions to normal state. and the
natural and reasonable development
will continue.
Owing to a wet fall In 1912, and n
heavy snowfall during the past winter
there was a large area which 1t was
difficult to seed at the usual time the
past spring. Therefore as a general
thing seeding was later than usual. A

no drawback. Wheat that had been
