WILSON TO SPEAK
IN FURTHERANCE
OF DEFENSE IDEA
PRESIDENT IS EXPECTED TO As
SIGN REASONS FOR WANT
ING STRONGER ARMY.

Washington, d. c.. Oct. 1s.-Presi
dent Wilson will open his campaign
for his national defense program in
speech before the Manhattan club
IN New York on the evening OF No
vember 4. 1t win be the presidents
first public utterance on the subject
since he approved the plans prepared
by Secretary Garrison and Secretary
Daniels, and the speech Is expected
to be of significance because the
president is expected to disclose the
reasons he will urge on congress why
the United States should be more ad.
equateIy prepared for defense.
Today the president received a let.
ter from the Maryland peace delega.
ton for national defense, asking him
to take steps to insure the United
States against attack from abroad.
The letter was signed by Governor
Goldsborough, Senator John Walter
Smith Representatives Coady, Lin
thicum and Talbot, and many bust
ness men, bankers. lawyers, judges
and others.
1t was declared In the letter that
the people of Maryland believe the
president should use his influence to
place the United States in position
to protect itself and its citizens from
acts Of aggression or oppression by
any foreign power.
To Tax Ship Yards.
The five-year naval building pro-
gram contemplates the addition Of
sixteen capital ships to the navy by
1925. This will tax the normal capac-
ity Of American ship yards, in the
opinion Of navy officers. Secretary
Daniels said today that fact had
weight in determing over what period
the expenditure Of the $500, 200, 900
which will be asked to be distributed.
American yards now are busy with
new ships and have contracts to keep
them engaged for several -ye2rs.-T The
secretary said he anticipated that Of
forts would be made when congress-
to urge the expenditure Of
the whole $500,000,0OO within two
years or less. Without a great In
crease in both public and private ship
building facilities, he thought 1t would
be virtually impossible to construct
the sixteen ships In any less time
than the period fixed on. Mr.. Daniels
said he thought the program approved
by the president would be found the
most economical and sensible to be
pursued unless great emergency
should arise.

Atlantic Coast States Will
Vote on Whether to Give
the Ballot to Women
NEW JERSEY FIRST
TO OPEN UP POLLS
Spectacular Campaign Is
Waged By Both Sides
to the Controversy

Newark, N j., Oct. 1S.-The first
great eastern fight on the far-flung
battle line Of woman suffrage is today
only twenty-four hours away. At 6
o'clock tomorrow morning the polls
throughout the state of New Jersey
Will be thrown open to determine at a
special election whether votes for
women banners will be planted vic
toriously thereafter on the Atlantic

Two weeks from tomorrow the three
other eastern states of New York,
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts like
wise will decide whether they will join
their twelve western sister states In
giving women the ballot.
President Wilson's declaration for
suffrage reinforced by a thorough and
vigorous campaign made by organiza.
tions and workers Is expected by suf-
rage leaders to carry the day for wom-
en- suffrage in his home state of New
Jersey. Their victory Is sure, and by
comfortable margin, they state. On
the other hand, those opposed to suf.
frage are inclined to laugh. at these
claims and assert that the proposed
constitutional amendment to enfran-
chise women will be buried under an
avalanche of votes.

More than $50 women speakers and
other workers went over the battle.
field today, their automobiles carry
ing them through the sections where
the fight will be hottest, into even the
smallest towns and hamlets. In the
Big cities the campaign was similarly
intensified. From many vantage points
including thousands of street cars, car
toons and picturesque posters, pleaded
silently with voters to cast their bal
lots for women suffrage.
Less spectacular, but none the less
thoroughly organized was the cam
paign conducted by opponents to suf-
frage. Party lines have been obliter-
ated in the contest; democrats and
republican leaders are working both
for and against the cause.
Women watchers and workers to
the number of 5000 admitted to the
polls at the forthcoming election for
the first time in the state, received
their final instructions today and pre-
pared to take their places tomorrow
at virtually every one of the polling
precincts In the state.
