THAT SIFFRAGE RESOLt TON
The National Federation or WOmcn's

To THE EDITOR OF The SuS--Sir, Mrs
A. NJ. Dodge says in THE SuN that the
National Federation OF Club Women

at Chicago was packed" for suffrage.

club women az | do. both West and East

women available have been picked by
each state To- represent In as broad a way
as possible the women OF the Sta'e at the
national convention, Irrespective OF their
views on suffrage. ! should like to know
what proof Mrs. Dodge can adduce.
Again. Mrs. Dodge says that the state
federstions all over the country are in a
ferment OF discomfort since the passage
OF the resolution | should like TO ask
her what States have held state fedora
ton meetings since the passage Of the
woman suffrage resolution, and whore did
the "ferments' occur all over the country.
The state federations generally hold their
meetings before the national convention
and not right after II.
Mrs Dodge further states that not only
State declarations all over the country but
the individual clubs are now In a ferment
of discomfort. This seems to imply
that all women's clubs are in such a fer
ment. AS "A matter of fact many women =
clubs have Endorsed suffrage long ago.
and tho passage Of the resolution gave
them only "a feeling Of convent that prog
ress marches on.
In the close of Mrs. Dodge's letter is
the statement that ANY woman who says
that one million women by the resolution
Endorsed woman suffrage is qualified
member OF the Ananias club or. as has
been suggested. the Sapphire Club.
As matter Of fact. however. the only
way that We have Of indorsng anything
In "A great federated body such MS the
womcn's clubs OF the country are is by
majority vote, and when we say our
1000, 900 club women Endorsed suffrage
We speak correctly Just a. when w say
the United states indorscs such or such a
thing by It's vote in Congress though "A
minority may dissent.
The trouble Is the ants do not know
how to behave when they are fairly
beaten. what fhey should do IL to with
draw their ant-suffrage clubs from the
federated woman's movement. since that
movement has shown It's dlsapproval OF
them.

Woman suffrage gets no real strength
from the adherence Of this veteran
champion of humbuc. From no politl-

get any strength Most Of the politl-

The selcctive genius Of the direct pri-

Progressive candidate for Governor.

romantic or inventive strain in his
speeches. but politics Is largely n form
Of fiction. and therefore his accom-
p'ishnrnts in this regard are TO his
advantage.
Mr.. lIENNtSSi is hardly the sort OF
man that one thinks Of aS equal to tho
size Of the post for which the Colonel
seems to he booming him: hut Il state
that elected SUt2fR cannot be eyacting.
Besides It Is "A candidate for Governor.
not Governor, that the Colonel Is

We shouldn't suppose that there was
much gas left In the Sulzerian balloon

HFNNrssY is far FROM joke, and It Is
possible that he might attract many

Cigarette Legislation and Free

The latest instance of the craze for
