IS
. BIG CAMPAIGN
ISSUE IN JAPAN
Energetic Canvassing under
Way for General Election
on March Is.

Correspondence OF Associated PreAs.)
TOXIC, Jan. 30.-Energetic canvas
Sing Is already under way for the
general election for the house OF rep
resentatives which has been called
by the emperor for March % following
the dissolution OF the house because
of Its refusal to approve the military
program of the cabinet. 1t Is declar-
ed IN governmental circles that the
rejection of the project to increase
the army by two divisions in Korea
is not to be interpreted as indicating
cessation of military development
IN japan. The emperor and the cab
met felt so confident that the nation.
supported the idea OF military In
crease that they did not hesitate to
agree upon the dissolution of the
house where the majority OF the mem
bers, affiliated with the so-called Seiy-
ukai party, were opposed to the pres
,ent ministry.
The Seiyukai not only rejected the
army increase but disapproved the
proposed amendment to the sinking
fund law which was an important
feature of the governments financial
program The present law requires
that the sum of 50,000,000 yen $685.
Ge0,000) will be set aside each year
for redemption. In the past this has
tended to promotion OF new borrow
| ing to pay old debts, When the bor-
rowing took the form OF treasury
bills or short term loans the interest
paid was much higher than in the
case of loans redeemed. The total
debt was not reduced and the inter
est showed a tendency to go up. The
government decided that policy Of
redemption which meant the creation
of new debt was not wise and pro-
posed that the amount set aside each
Year to the sinking fund should be
reduced to 30.000,0o0 yen. Tho diff
ference OF 20,00o.000 yen was to be
employed for. railroad construction
and other public works instead OF
finding capital for this purpose by
notes and bills. The opposition com
tended that the reduction in the sink
ing fund allotment would do harm
to Japan's credit abroad.
i The efforts of the government will
now be directed towards securing
the election of members of their own
groups. Prince Katsura, q great and
popular statesman, worked for a two
party system in japanese politics.
There are many people who declare
they see a trend in that direction now
with the Seiyukai party ON the one
hand and the governmental and pos
sibly independent group on the other.

SUFFRAC|STS DID NOT
ATTACK ANT|-WORKER
State Leader Denies Charges Made
by Miss MarkesOn and Recalls
Some Montana Exploits

y statement was issued here to- day
by Mrs. Frank NJ Roessing, president
of the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage
Association, in part as follows:
Miss Clara L. Markeson, one of the
organizers for the Pennsylvania Asso-
citation Opposed to Suffrage, has made
charges recently to the erect that the
sunragists of Pennsylvania have adopt
I'd militant methods. she is quoted as
saying tnat wnlIe she was distributing
anttnteraIure at the LABOR Union
Carnival IN Erie, number OIL suurag-
lists surrounded her, grabbed the
pamphlets Irom her hands and ue-
stroS ed them. She also said that when
she struggled TO get away, one woman
tore the cum from her coat sleeve.
The charges nave been thoroughly
investigated ana a report mas Deen
MADE 10 the State Suffrage Association,
winch brands tnem as absolutely false.
Ihls report is concurred in not only
by the men on the committee in charge
OF the LABOR carnival, out also by the
editor OIL the Erie Dispatch, who HAD
the affair investigated on hIs own ac-
count. In justice TO the sunragIsts of
the state Miss Markeson'S charges
must therefore be denIeu.
''Durlng the Montana suffrage cam
paign, last year, MISS Markeson used
inherent tacuCs IN ner efforts 10 defeat
the suura glSts. There she tried to dIc-
tate the policy which the liquor men
snould touow In tnelr campaign against
the liquor interests should remain IN
the background, continuing their oppo-
SItiOn in secret, but letting the open and
ostenslDle campaign be carried in by
women whom the National Anti-SuL-
trage Association would send out TO
Montana. The interview with the pub
llshers of the Official liquor organ, the
National Forum, during which Miss
Markeson made these suggestions, was
supposed to be strictly CONFIDENTIAL and
the liquor men promised to keep it
dark, but the matter leaked out.
Whether the liquor men of Pennsyl-
vania will adopt the same tactics re-
mains TO be seen. but IL is evident that
Miss Markeson is not going to depend
entirely upon either the secret or open
cooperation of the liquor people to de-
feat suffrage here in Pennsylvania. APP
preciatinS apparently, that the woman
suffra gists OF this state have earned a
reputation for dIgnified and nonmlli-
tant methods that mas commended their
cause To the thinking citizens all over
the state, Miss Markeson, IL seems, has
now determined to create the false i'm
preston that Pennsylvania suffra gists s
are militant
