SUFFRAGE LEADERS
TO STEER NEUTRAL
POLITICAL COURSE

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. g.
Political neutrality was the keynote
adopted today by the leaders of the
National American Women's Suffrage
association when the forty eighth an
nual convention of the organization
was opened. All preparations had been
made to run the steam roller" over
threatened resolutions calling for the
endorsement of either President Will
son or Charles E. Hughes.
The leaders admitted that adoption
OF any such resolution would result
in a breach similar to that Of several
years ago when differences on poll
tics resulted in insurgents forming
the Congressional Union.

need of Judge Garrett to personally conduct
his campaign in Texas was most urgent,
some OF the most important matters, which
the Democracy and the President had been

so. MIR. Garrett is still in hearty and loyal
accord with the plans and purposes of the
present Democratic Administration.
AS member of the Sixty.third Congress

TO THE DEMOCRACY OF TEXAS:

We feel that it is the duty of the Democ.
racy of Texas to take special interest in the
campaign of Daniel E. Garrett, candidate for
Congressman.at.Larse in the July pri.
maries. Judge Garrett was an original Viii.
son man, and although candidate himself
for Congressman.at.Large at the time, he
made an open and vigorous fight for the nom.
nation of MIR. Wilson. Before and after the
presidential election four years ago, MIR.
Garrett was in thorough accord and har.
mony with the platform and principles upon
which the Democratic party had been vic.
toriouS, and having been himself victorious
in his aspiration for Congress- Mr.. Garrett
entered upon his duties at Washington and at
once became identified as an ardent and
loyal worker for the entire program of the
President and his party. Two years ago Mr..
Garrett was a candidate to succeed himself
for second term, and although he had spir.
tied and formidable opposition, he declined
to leave his work at Washington, and we feel
that this fidelity to his people resulted in his
regrettable defeat two years ago, and that
special interest should be taken that this in.
