WANTS SUFFRAGE

PLAN A. 4SEPAR4TE GROUP
Mississippi Valley Conference Closes
at Des moisies-ko Clash Over
Bills N the Senate.

q DesS MONIES. Iowa, April In the
closing~session. u1 the conference OF
the NississippivVane Equa: Suffrage
association hertS yes terday Miss Kate
Gordon OF New Orleans declared that
the women OF ths south must employ
state rightssin their campaign for the
ballot
The women Of the south. she said,
could not accept suffrage by federal
amendment. even If it were granted.
because OF the peculiar condition In
that section of tive country.
Miss Gordon did not offer opposition
10 the Mississippi Valley associs ton.
but said the southern women must
work for the ballot through their own
organization. of which she is presi-
dent.
Hold States Should Grant Suffrage.
Il believe that every state has the
right TO say who within its borders
shall have the riT1lt TO vote without
national interference" said Mss Cor
don. I'VE have a situation IN the
south that only state rights can solve.
The democratic party has made
woman suffrage a states rights mat
ter and the southern wot1en are going
to put IL up 10 the democratic party
TO grant them suffrage by state rights.
Il hope we may be abIs TO do away
with the necessity OF federal amend
ment. We certainly viii make it I'M
popular for any one who makes a fed
eraI amendment necessary
Miss Gordon said that the. first step
in the campaign Of the women of the
south will be TO establish a southern
press service and their literature in
this way will be sent 10 300 news
papers.
Frequent questions from her audi
ence did not make Miss Gordon recede
from her position. The women Of the
south. she said. were anxious to avoid
going through what the men OF the
south had gone through when they
were led to enact the grandfather
clause. which prevents negroes from
voting.
No Clash Over. Amendments.
There was no clash between sup
porters OF the Shsfroth and BTistow
amendments today. as was feared last
night The discussion was devoted to
plans for more effective organization
in states where the suffrage move
ment has not g5lOWn marked progress.
