SUFFRAGE BODIES
NEAR OPEN BREAK,
Formal War Declaration Be-
tween Organizations Of Wo-
men Believed Imminent.

Formal declarations Of war between
the two suffrage organizations now
cam paigninE in the Western States-tne
National American Woman Suffrage
Association and the Congressional IN
ion for Woman Suffrage, are believed to
be imminent.
For several months past there have
been evidences OF growing Ill feeling be-
tween the leaders of the rival factions.
arising out of differences of opinion as
to the methods to be used in winning
the desired vote. This feeling was in
tensifed when several weeks ago the
Congressional Union announced It's
policy Of opposing all Democrats re-
gardless of personal records on the
woman suffrage question because the
suffrage legislation. DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw, president of the National Asso-
citation, Immediately issued statement
condemning this policy and stating that
the National Association would not sup
port 1t.
Since that time the two organizations
have been working independently Of
each other in the Western States--the
Congressional Union calling upon the
voting women of the west to unite and
National Association asking Democrats,
as we'll as Republicans and Progress
sives. to vote for woman suffrage.
That the two associations have
strained relations to the breaking point
and that open declarations of hostllities
will soon be forthcoming is indicated. It
Is believed. in a statement just issued
by Mrs. Medill Mccormick, chairman
Of the National Congressional commit
tee of the National Association. in
which she states that the policy OF the
Congressional Union is not only foolish
and negligible so far as hurting the
Democrats Is concerned. but that it Is
doing serious harm to the best inter-
ests Of the woman suffrage cause.
The anti-DemOcratlc propaganda
directed against the Democratic candI-
dates in equal suffrage States, and
therefore, against the best friends Of
national suffrage in Congress. of course.
is vigorously repudiated everywhere by
the National Association. speakers.
says Mrs. Mccormick IF we are to
win In the campaign States suffrage

and all the rest. To antagonize any one
party Is to court defeat.
Yet into Missouri, for instance. from
lust over the border in Kansas. comes q
propaganda from the Congress ssional
Union calling for the defeat Of Demo-
Gratis as Democrats. in the interests o.
suffrage. and Missouri. Speaker Clark's
State is almost solidly Democratic. Our
sneakers report that the voters to whom
they are appealing are naturally con-
fused and the speakers themselves must
stop to explain this abnormal situation
instead Of devoting themselves to the
real and urgent isSue-VOtes for women.
THE thing Is dreadful folly, ard
there Is no telling how much harm it
may not do the suffrage cause

Washington. July with the Mex
lean mediation conference at Niagara
Falls on the eve of a recess pending
the proposed meeting of representa-
tives of General Huerta and the con
stitutionalists, last night telegraphed
his agents in Washington that he had
not yet heard from his associate lead
ers with regard to the wisdom of par
ticipating in such a conference.
Carranza's representatives who had
expected earlier in the day that some
definite reply might be received by
night, announced later that nothing
would be learned until today at the
earliest. The general belief here was
that it would be some time before any
decision was reached. In some quar-
ters the feeling is persistent that the
constitutionalist leaders will delay
replying to the invitation of the medi-
ators to participate in a conference
with Huerta's delegates as long as
possible in order to gain time for
Strengthening out their own internal
affairs, and to force their military
campaign as near as possible TO HUI
