The event Of the year 1913 is the
name given by an important English
daily paper to the international wo-
man suffrage congress to be held in
Budapest, Hungary, June 1920, in the
halls OF the Redoute, a building beau
hfully situated on the Danube. The
International woman suffrage congress
es. which have hitherto been held-in
Washington. Berlin, Copenhagen, Lon
don and Stockholm, presided over by
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait Of New
York, are stepping stones marking the
great progress which the suffrage
movement has made in all lands.
The brilliant success which has been
achieved by former congresses and the
indefatigable work of the Hungarian
executive committee are a sufi cient
guarantee that the Budapest congress
will engage the interest of all persons
occupied in the woman suffrage move
ment.
American women will play an i'm.
portant part in this congress, a. they
have in the past. Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, president of the information
al alliance, who is now in Europe, will
preside at the meetings. Among the

ing of June Is, the opening day Of the
convention.
The dominating figure at every inter
national suffrage congress in the past
has been Mrs. Gait. She is a college
graduate, a woman of distinction and
culture AS a speaker she has hardly
an equal in the suffrage movement.
However, it is not as a speaker that
Mrs. Gait has won her power among
the women in the cause, but through
her organizing ability. With her came
in the era of organization in the suf-
frage movement: before that it had
been a propaganda of agitation.
From the day when she began to
stump her own country back in Iowa
she has been ceaselessly knitting the
scattered forces into one homogeneous
movement. Her success has been more
than she had dreamed. Except for her
il is doubtful if the international al
lance would have been formed.
At this years convention more coun,
tries will be represented than ever be
fore. The Chinese, Indian and Persian
women take part for the first time. a
! banner bearing the words, Let us
hold together, for we are working for
the same ideals" will be presented by
the Chinese delegates.
Other countries already affiliated
with the alliance are: Australia, Aus
tria, Belgium, Bohemia, Bulgaria, Can
ada, Denmark, Germany, Finland
France, Great Britain, Sweden, Swift
! aerland, Servia, South Africa, Hun
gary and the United States.

rs SUMMONED
BY HURRY CALL
Ambassador Wilson Called to Wash
ington For an Important Con-
ference With Sec. BRYAN.

Washington, Aug, Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson returned to
Washington today for a conference
with Secretary Bryan.
The ambassadors return had been
evidently arranged on short notice,
his telegram from Secretary BRYAN
merely said he was wanted to confer
on important matters" Mr.. Wilson
himself disclaimed knowing for what
he had been summoned.
The sudden call to Washington of
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson for
conference led to the report that
his status might be announced. The
ambassador came to the White House
and was told there was a misunder-
standing about his engagement, that
instead of conference with the pres
ident he was to call on Secretary
Bryan. The ambassador said the
telegram he received in New York
stated the conference would take
place at the White House. Observers
of the diplomatic situation predicted
that the ambassadors resignation
would be accepted soon.
Shortly after Ambassador Wilson
called, Senator Bacon, chairman OF
the foreign relations committee, went
into conference with the President.
The President gave him to under
stand that he would consult the chair
man OF the two congressional COM
mittees on foreign affairs before he
took any action.
When Ambassador Wilson was
leaving the White House on his way
to the state department. he gave out
copy of a letter he received from
former President Taft on June %,
1913, approving of his course in

REPLIES To SHARP REBUKE

senior Senator Answers Communica-
ton With Some Sharp Criti-
cism for the Writer.

The following is from Mondays
Columbia State:
Following Senator Tillman's sharp
criticism of New York bankers one
Charles Hart of Brooklyn wrote a
letter rebuking the senior senator
from South Carolina for what he
called ignorance. Senator Tillman
replied with even sharper criticism
Tor the correspondent than that with
Whlch he favored the bankers of the
metropolis. Copies of the CORES

State from Senator Tillman:
Brooklyn, N. Y, Aug. 1, 1918.
Hon. b. r. Tillman.
Dear Sir: If you would only get
some information, as to the condition
OF the money market OF the world,
which almost any office boy in any
banking house in Washington can
give you, YOU would never make the
remarks you are credited as having
made against the banks of New York
city. 1t only hurts the Democratic
party and makes the average voter
ashamed to see those in the senate
so little informed. New York citv
can stand almost all the stun uttered
in the senate by those that do not
seem 10 know what they are talking
about. l suppose New York city is
responsible for crop failures, floods,
etc. If Secretary McAdoo can not
prove the charges he has made, he
should be tarred and feathered and
driven out of Washington. l fear
he is indulging too freely in grape
Juice to do this country much good.
l am Democrat and ashamed of
Henry and others who introduce
resolutions for political effect, being
the means of making trouble, but I
never expect my party to be in power
again for the next 90 years to come.
1t was our Republican opponents
that elected Wilson. and they, like
all conservative Democrats, have got
their fill.
Very respect, etc,

MONEY EASIER FOR SOUTH
OBJECT OF McADOO's PLAN.
That No Extreme Interest
Should be Demanded

Washington, Aug. 3.-The an
nouncement that the government
would deposit $5O,OOO,OOO with the
banks in the South and West for the
purpose of moving the cotton crop
was received with the liveliest sat
isfaction by Southern senators and
representatives in Washington. 1t
was upon the representation of Sena-
tor +. ID. Smith and others that the
government decided to take this
step. 1t means that Southern banks
and the Southern business men will
not be caught by a money shortage
this rail- and winter, as was the case
during the latter part of 1907.
Senator Smith went to the treas
ury department yesterday and saw
Assistant Secretary John Shelton
Williams, himself a Southern man.
to find. out just how the money
would be distributed. He wanted
to find out just how the money would
get from the government to the
farmers. The plan, as worked out
so far, is that the treasury will de-
post the money with the national
banks in the South under the terms
of the Aldrich-Vreeland law.
SECURITY NOT RESTRICTED.
The banks may use national. state
or even county and municipal bonds,
and money will be deposited with
the banks up to 90 per cent OF the
real value of these bonds, in no case
to exceed par. The banks will have
to pay only 2 per cent interest. The
banks obtaining the money from the
government will in turn lend it to
the local banks on acceptable Sc
curity. Treasury officials are send
ing letter to the national banks
that Will share in this money, sug-
gseting that they should lend il to
the local banks on terms that will
compare with the favorable terms
upon which they receive il from the
government, but the treasury officials
do not recommend any specific rate
OF interest to be charged the local
banks. 1t is made pretty plain, how
ever, that the treasury officials do not
want the banks obtaining money
from the government at 3 per cent
to charge hard rates of interest for
1T or to make it difficult for the
money to get out into the channels
where it will be needed. Senator
Smith is greatly pleased with the
steps that have eben taken and be-
heves that untold good will result.
southern people will remember" ."
he said, that in times past il has
been impossible to get money in the
South for any purpose or upon any
KIND of security, because the banks
in New York were boarding it and
loaning ii for speculative purposes.
The government would go to the
rescue of the New York banks when
they got in pinch, but never before
has the government come to the res
cue of the farmers as it is doing
now. This action means that we
Will get money to move the cotton
crop without having to go to New
York for it, and that is what we have
always wanted. There is no way OF
estimating the good that will follow
or rather, there is no way of esti-
mating the disaster that has been
averted."

IF the legislature will do it's duty
we will never have any more trouble
in our primaries such as we had last
summer. If it does not do it's duty,

tuition of the party as will safeguard

you have to say, but continue to agi-
