FRENCH PRINCE SAYS
 SUFFRAGE TO BLAME

NEW YORK, July 1.--PriDse Andre Ponlatowski, the Paris banker and friend and financial associate in many deals of E. H. Hartman, who is here. says:
 Europe does not think over highly of the way the United States has been run of late. The trouble here is the same as it is in all countries where they have universal suffrage. We have hundreds of people like President Will son in Europe-brainy, scholarly cul- tured, charming, but theorists and im- practicable believers in the capacity of the mass of non-property holders to govern themselves. The franchise should be restricted in the United States. Then the Wilson's would give place to men closer in touch with bus. iness."
