President wilson's announcement
that he will vote for the amendment
to the New Jersey Constitution con-
ferring the right Of suffrage on
women has been expected ever since
Secretaries McAdoo. Garrison and
Rcdteld and Mr.. Tunulty professed
conversion to the suffrage faith. 1t
did not seem likely that these mem
bers of the Presidents official family
would have publicly declared them
selves at this time without consul
tation with their chief, and Mr..
Wilson'S statement shows that this
inference was justified.
The President, however. probably
Is moved to make the public state
ment of his position by the base
less suggestion that the Administra-
tion is playing politics ana Is trying
to make friends with women voters
in the West by smuggling up to their
unenfranchisei sisters in the East.

Wv favors womans suffrage

form in New Jersey on October 10.
He will not vote as a Democrat. nor
as President. He will vote as a
citizen of New Jersey" who thinks
his State "will be greatly benefited
by the change"
Despite rumors that the Chief Ex-
ccutive contemplated making a state
ment on woman's suffrage prior to
the special election on October 10. 1t
would take the stand which he as
sumed today. The Southern Democ-
racy's antagonism to votes was
believed strong enough to preserve
neutrality" In the White House.
1t will be reasonably contended by
many observers that the controlling
political power which women have
already secured In the West made
1t impossible for the head of "A great
party to ignore the champions of
female suffrage. There Is talk now
of organizing the suffrage States for
next years Presidential campaign.
with the declared intention of throw
ing the election to that party which
writes Federal amendment suf-
frage plank into Its platform.
Fortunately for the President he
had not gone on record as opposing
votes for women as a state issue. He,
can work and vote for the cause in
New Jersey while still combating a
move In Congress to allow the North
and West to impose the reform on
the unwilling South. Yet. when
three fourths of the states have. one
at a time. enfranchised women. the
South's power of resistance will
certainly be at an end. BY indorsing
suffrage in New Jersey the President
strikes a blow at Its opponents every
where.

President Wilson of course knows
TT at his adherence to the cause Of
woman suffrage will be of far
greater influence than would that OF
another "acting on his private CON
viction as citizen Of New Jersey,
called upon by the legislature of the
state to express his conviction at the
polls" His example should have far
reaching consequences; and It's
be shown IN the attitude of many
who aspire to stand In favor with the
Federal Administration.
In Mr., Wilson's party In his own
State an interesting situation exists.
The Smith Nusent faction of the
Democratic party has been counted
against votes for women. To James
r. Nugent the letter Of Cardinal
Gibbons opposing equality at the
polls was addressed. But Senator
Smith and Mr.. Nugent have lately
exhibited q tenderness for Mr.. Will
son. and the platform adopted by the
State convention on Tuesday pledg-
ing the party TO labor for his re-
nomination and reelection was sup
ported as enthusiastically by the
Essex men as by those who have
faithfully worn the Wilson Colors
from the beginning.
Had the President regarded the i'm
Tending friendship OF Senator Smith
and Mr.. Nugent with misgiving,
yesterday could have been an ad-
mirable day for him TO emphasize
his disregard for their theories of
government; and Mr. Wilson IL not
slow to recognize the potentialities
Of a psychological moment.
