 '"The democrats, it is true, during the first year of national administra- tion, did carry out simple platform pledges, under the lash of party ex- pediency and imperative public opin- ion. Now for the first time, they are facing 8 real proOlem-the question of regulation of trusts and corporations and they are handling that with their usual futility and lack of construc- tive ideas.

ANOTHER RESOLUTION
 FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Hristow Measure Identical With One
 Defeated Last Week.

Washington, March 24.--Senator Thomas of Colorado, chairman of the senate committee on woman suffrage, assured suffragist leaders today that his committee would take up for con- sideration in the near future the Bris- tow and Shafroth resolutions. .introdu-- ed last week after the defeat of the resolution providing for submission of constitutional amendment extending suffrage to women
 Leaders of the woman suffrage move nrent had asked the senator for a hearing, but this, he said today, would not be necessary, as the committee is thoroughly informed on the subject. The Bristow resolution is identical with the Chamberlain amendment defeated last week, and Senator Thomas favors this over the Shafroth amendment, which proposes that suffrage be grant ed to women in any state whenever it is approved by a majority after the subject has been submitted to the electorate on petition of eight per cent of the voters of the state.
 The Bristow resolution" said Sen ator Thomas lis identical with the re- gently defeated constitutional amend ment, and in my judgment is the only one to be reported favorabIy to the senate. It cannot be improved upon either in phraseology or purpose
