To THE k.piToR on THE Sun: Most
OF the agitation on the suffrage question
as have observed 1t in this section
has been among the woine Indications
seem to point to the defeat of the pro-
posed amendment in Mercer.
Presiden, Wilson's announcement has
not changed sentiment here appreciably,

| do not favor woman suffrage
JAMES ". MULHERoN.
Chairman Republican Committee.
TO THE EDlToR OF THE SrN Speaking
as chairman OF the Democratic cxecu-
tive committee of Mercer county l would
say that the party has never considered
the question of the adoption or rejection
OF the proposed woman suffrage amend
n ent as a political issue or one involving
any vital principle OF Democracy. We
have not, therefore, made any effort
TO advise or influence the voters, and
do not propose to dc so.
The effect of President Wilson's am
nouncement still remains TO be seen, II
Is impossible TO tell at this time just
waht will be the ultimate result of his
advocacy Of woman suffrage,
HARRY HEIR,
Chairman Democratic COMMITTEES.

Chairman Republican Committee.
To THE EDITOR or The SrN The
woman suffrage amendment to the state
Constitution will hardly carry in Atlantic
county. yet President Wilson'S a%nnoupce-
1nent that he will support the cause will
very materially Increase the vote,
Personally I am for the amendment.
