Failure to Attend Caucus

Then now uO you account TOT the 1dct that Captain Hobson was in Washington and did not take the opportunity of at tending the democratic caucus, which set tied the question of House committee on woman suffrage and there maintain his position and express his convictons?" she was asked.
 'Oh, that is all right" she said. We understood the circumstances and ex- cused him. we knew that we did not have chance to win, anyway"
 Do you believe that Captain Hobsop will desert his party in case of his defeat in Alabama?' she was asked "Oh, l don't believe that he wili be defeated and l am not authorized to speak for him anyway, but he will continue his fight for woman suffrage, and it is becoming evident that his party is not in sympathy with us,' she said. M
 The bull moosers at the capital are en- couragins and applauding the women in their declaration of war on the demo- -~crats and are pointing out that they are the only political organization in the < country which has openly in party plat form advocated their cause. Hobson's .sympathzers in the Alabama race, what .few he has, at the capital are all of the progressive party.

 Anything to Hurt Democrats The North American is a rabid sup porter of Roosevelt and Bill Film, and Is conducting the fight for the election. of -Gifford Pinehot as senator in Pennsyl- -vania. It also ndulges in dreams of the future, and hopes for the ultimate tri- lmph of Roosevelt and the populst party. It never loses an opportunity to rap the democratic party. and particu- .1arly in the south, where the progressives have expressed the opinion that there is shope for building up a party in cpposi- tion to the democrats. Roosevelt made strong play for such a consummation fin his famous ruling on negro delegates to the progressive convention. The North Americans whole object in attacking MT. Underwood and the democratic party in Alabama was to create a split if possible in the party in the state, and win Hobson and his following over to the "populsts. The support of the progressives and the woman suffragists given to Captain Hob son the foundation for the stories here to the effect that the captain will leave hs party if defeated
 ! Alabamians here. however. do not take much stock in the idea. If Hobson was disposed to secede, they declare few of This supporters in this campaign would follow him. They express the belief that .the captain will stick to the democratic party, and give the people of Alabama many more opportunities to vote for him as a candidate for governor. or at the .next election for senator. Those who know the captain declare that he is too shrewd a politician not to appreciate the Value of the stamp of democracy in the south. and that as his political ambitions are centered there they do not believe that he will jump as much as he may feel like doing so. Notwithstanding this fact, it is the gossip here in suffrage and pro- .gressive camps.

Suffragists and Progress sives Both Figure on Him
 as Their Friend
NOT IN LINE WITH
 PARTY'S PROGRAMME
Friends in Washington do Not believe HobsOn Will Leave Democratic
 Party-Expected to Con
 tinue Political Factor
Bx c. E. sTEWART

Washington, March 13.-(Special.)- )-rhe woman suffragists and the progressive party are obth looking forward and con- fldently expecting to obtain the valuable services of Capt. Richmond Pearson Hob- son after he is defeated for the Senate in Alabama. That Captain Hobson will } secede from the democratic party and become either independent or a progress sive is the firm belief of many in Wash ington, in case he meets defeat at the hand of the House leader.
 . The women suffragists through some of their leaders have already declared that they expect to make war on the democratic party, in the event the admin istration fails to grant them constitu- tional amendment providing for nation wide suffrage of women. Already they have attacked Mir. Underwood, because he expressed himself in favor of allowing the states to settle the question of suffrage. The women expect the support of Cap tain Hobson in this fight for they believe that he will be convinced that his party s : views. and his own have come to the parting of the ways-in case he is de- feated.
 Only yesterday lobbyist-a lady lobby ist-at work at the capitol in an effort to get the Senate to pass the resolution providing the constitutional amendment for which they are fighting, declared that
 the democratic party had been given the first opportunity to do an act of sim pie justice to all the women of the coun- try, and that so far it had refused, and one of it's great leaders, MT. Underwood, had defeated their plan for creating a Z committee in the House of Representa- tives. If this policy is pursued by the party, she said, we will oppose it in the next general election; we are fighting MT. Underwood now"
 The Age-Herald correspondent pointed out to her that the Hobson papers in Ala . bama were claiming that MT. Underwood and Captain Hobson occupied the same , position and entertained the same views with reference to woman suffrage. Such 2 statements are absurd" she declared. af' MT. Underwood has said that when a majority of the women of Alabama wanted to vote he was willing for them to do so, |" she continued. He very well knows that there is no way of telling abma want to vote. On the other hand, Captain Hobson is openly an advocate for woman's suffrage;=he isra progressive, and not in accord with his party in this and many other policies. .'
