BATTLE-GROUND IN WEST

WASHINGTON, July 5.-President VII

their positions on the question Of suffrage
within the past week the National Asso-
citation opposed to Woman Suffrage an
nounced tonight its programme for TAX
ing present advantage OF the Democratic
opposition TO votes for women" as
national issue. The association will now
turn its attention to fighting the devel-
opment OF pro-suffrage sentiment in the
individual States.
I'VE now have twenty-one states or
ganized against woman suffrage" saws
the statement issued from the Washington
headquarters of the organization. "Of
these twenty-one Minnesota. Montana, Me-
hraska, North Dakota and Nevada have
been swung into line within the last few
weeks.
From the South reports have been
coming in more and more frequently re-
gardlng the solid opposition in that sec
ton to votes for women \ majority
Of these States have signlfed their de-
sire to affiliate with the National Associ-
alton Opposed to Woman Suffrage. Geor-
gia Is now In the process Of organizing.
Alabama we are informed will he next.
Virginia and Maryland already are thor
oughly organized.
This means that by the carly fan
every part of the United states will he
linked together against woman suffrage.
At present the battle-ground is in Nevada,
Montana, North Dakota and South Da-
kota. These States will vote on the ques-
ton next fall and already the sufYra-
gIsts have announced their intention to
devote practically all their fighting
strength to them.
"Realiz ng the importance OF demon
strating that woman suffrage Is really no
stronger in the West than in other parts
of the country the National Association

gone into tbat field.

This organization has won a great vic
tory In establishing beyond dispute its
contention that the celebrates Of the
States should and must be controlled by
! the States themselves. never by the Fed
eral Government through an amendment
to the Constitution OF the United States.
I'VE will now address ourselves to the
cstabl. shment OF our second contention
which Is that the States themselves are

TO PUSH THE TRUST BILLS.
Democratic Leaders In senate En-
poet 10 Get Up steam.

WASHINGTON. July 3. Democratic
leaders in the Senate expect 10 get up
steam and move along more rapidly on
the trust legislative programme this week.
Two bills are still in committee. the Clay
ton bill and the railroad securities, or
Rayburn. bill.
The Federal trade COMM ssion bill is
in the Senate and has been debated in
a desultory way the past week, but much
opposition to il has developed among the
Democrats, Efforts by Senator Newlands
to get day fixed for a vote on the bill
failed
In this move he will meet with oh
structions. Many Senators object to act
ing upon the Federal trade commission
bill until the other trust bills come into
the Senate. Chairman Newlands told his
colleagues that the railroad securities bill
would be ready to be reported before the
close of this week, but declined to hazard
a guess as to wheR the Clayton bill
would be reported.
Interfering with the progress of the
trust legislative programme are the river
and harbor bill. involving $4,000, 900 in
appropriations, and, therefore, dear to
the hearts OF many Senators. especially
from the South. and the sundry civil bill,
which Is ready to be taken up.
