ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. S. Triumph for the woman suffrage cause "in little while" was predicted by President Wilson here tonight in a speech before the annual convention of the American Woman Suffrage association.
 "I have come here to fight with you," the president declared. Immed- lately the 4,OOO women present stood and cheered. A few minutes late Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary presi- dent of the association, with Mir. Will son still present, declared:
 "We have waited long enough to get the vote. We want it now. I want it to come during your admin istration."
 Again the great audience of women stood and cheered, waving handler chiefs.
 The presidents pledge of support to the suffrage question caused Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the organization, to say in a speech soon after he closed:
 'You touched our hearts and won our fealty when you said you had come here to fight with us."
 The president did not speak on the method by which he would bring about woman suffrage, but said five shall not quarrel in the long run as to the method of it."
 The woman in their speeches also failed to mention the question of me thod.
 The president was warmly applaud ed before, during and after his speech. With Mrs. Wilson, he sat during sev- eral addresses. Fears expressed be- for the meeting that he might be 'fheekled" did not materialize. At the conclusion of his address, Mrs. Catt thanked him for speaking.
 Declaring that some times he be- came "a little impatient" over dis cussions about the channels through which votes for women are to come, the president caused the delegates to applaud by saying, q have felt here the wholesome contagion of the oc- casion."
 Mir. Wilson aroused the greatest enthusiasm when he said whenever he had come to Atlantic City previously he had come to fight against some body, but that on his present trip he had come "to fight with somebody" The women in the boxes, the orches- tra, and balcony stood and cheered.
 The meeting came to an end with the President and Mrs. Wilson, stand | ing between suffrage leaders, joining in singing patriotic songs. In his ad- dress the president did not mention his previously expressed belief that suffrage should come through action by the states. | At the time the United States was formed, MT. Wilson said, only law yer knew enough to run the nation, but since the civil war, the country has been faced more, and more by social questions and women have more and more taken an interest in public affairs.
 ''The whole nature of our political questions has been altered" he said. Speaking of the future of the move ment, MT. Wilson declared that the tide was rising and would come to its | flood.
 The president talked for 15 min utes, just the time occupied by the other speakers. At the conclusion of his address, he went to his hotel. To- morrow morning he will go to Long Branch, N. J., by motor to occupy his summerhome.
