HOPES ON SOUTH
Sufragists Expect Southern
States to Set Example
to the North.
APPEAL TO "CHIVALRY"
Equal Franchise Plank in Democratic
Platform Would Mean Victory.
Leaders Assert.
APPEAL TO "CHIVALRY"

Mrs. Antoinetts Funk. Of the National
Congressional COMMITTEES. has Just re-
turned from Georgia and Louisiana with
detailed and enthusiastic report Of the
plan Of the Southern States Woman Suf-
frase Conference for the next Presiden-
tial campaign.
The idea of the Southern Conference
| originated with Miss Kate Gordon, Of
New Orleans. called the Jane Adams Of
| the South. She was at one time secre-
tary OF the National woman's Suffrage
| Association. and now is president of the
Louisiana Ec. ial Suffrage Society. Miss
Gordon. though a suffraGist. is a strong
believer In the Democratic doctrine Of
States rights. and the Southern Confer
ence will organize those women who be-
lieve that woman suffrage should be
granted by the States rather than by the
Federal government. She expects the
conference will have 1no.ooo women mem
bers before the campaign Of 1916
Sometime before the next Democratic
National Convention they will meet to
adopt resolutions demanding that the
Democratic party put a woman's suf-
frage plank in its platform. They will
show Democrats they have always up
held the Democratic principles of States
rights, and that they wish the sanction
Of the party to the granting Of suffrage
to women by States II the party re-
fuses to go on record In favor Of suf-
frase. members of the conference say
they will feel at liberty to work for the
passage Of the Federal amendment II
these plans are carried out, the women
feel they will be successful.
south More Friendly.
Representative Southerners like Sena-
tor williams and Senator vardaman. of
Mississippi. have said on the floor of the
Senate that when the women Of the
South demanded suffrage the men would
give II to them said Mrs. Funk.
Southern men In this respect are more
friendly to suffrage than Northerners.
women will not allow them to stand in
the way Of what these women really
want"
II Southerners. who dominate the Demo-
cratic party. put q suffrage plank in the
platform, Il will mean putting sixteen
new States upon the suffrage map. This
will follow. suffragists say, almost auto
matically, and then the Northern States
would not lag far behind. 1t is believed
the Southern conference win boom the
cause.
Side by side with this new movement is
going on the organisation work Of the
Congressional committee in behalf Of q
Federal amendment Every Southern State
contains at least one organization afiliat-
ed with the National Woman Suffrage
Association.
1t is generally understood that the
Shafroth amendment. which empowers
the Individual States to vote on woman
suffrage at the request Of per cent Of
its voters, Is the one which Is most popu-
lar In the South.
