that, when he declared in his Indian

FEDERAL AMENDMENT
STRONGLY ADVOCATED


/ ATLANTIC CITY, y. j., Sept. Ga
debate on the question OF whether
4 tho National American Woman Suf-
frage Association should drop It's work
for state amendments and concentrate
Its efforts on federal amendment.
was feature OF the opening session
Of the associations annual convention
here today.
Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper. Of New
York, az leader Of the federal amend
ment' forces argued In the affirmative,
while Miss Laura Clay, Of Lexington,
Ky, argued in favor of confirming the
right to individual states; a third de-
batter, Mrs. Raymond Brown. OF New
York. took middle ground In favor
OF both federal and state work.
Stop State Work.
Mrs. Harper declared that the asso-
citation should concentrate on the
Susan b. Anthony federal amendment
and the work in tho individual states
be discontinued.
We have now obtained enough equal
suffrage states to make our measure
a national political issue, Mrs. Hair
per said; ITO force its endorsement
| by the platforms OF all five Of the par
ties; to persuade a presidential can
didate TO declare for the federal
amendment which his party was too
boss-rlddcn to favor; to compel the
president Of the United States to re-
verse his own attitude completely and
defy the platform on which he was
elected; and to wrest from reluctant
Congress II vote in both houses and
to scare II SO badly that It has resort
ed to every subterfuge known in that
body in order not 10 put Itself on rec

Stop Minor Attacks.
Have we not now reached point
where we can stop these minor at
lacks on our opponents right and left
wings and march our forces straight
up to the congressional trenches
where the main body of the enemy lies
concealed?"
Mrs. Harper named as opponents
the corporations. the liquor and 9TH
err vice interests.
I'VE have had enough Of appealing
to the individual voter with his secret
ballot, Mrs. Harper added, abiding
to the state fights. I'VE demand n
AbuI AL TIE open ludl We may EeCOg-
nize our foe and the influence behind
them. Why were both Republican and
Democratic conventions willing to IA
vor woman suffrage through state ac-
ton? Because they knew they were
putting 1t on till doomsday. They I'M
derstoOd perfectly that in fully one
half Of the states where women are
still dIsenfranchised the constitutions
are so framed that amendment is prac
tically impossible. Let us
have no more of these state campaigns
with their killing work. their personal
humiliations, their fraudulent votes.
and their stuffed ballot boxes.
Now that our measure has been
brought through generations of toll
and sacrifice in sight of the promised
land, let us not wander another forty
years among the states but take tho
necessary steps at this meeting to en-
ter into possession without needless
delay"

Too Little Local Appeal.
Mrs. Brown held that in building Vi
state organizations, working in con
Eressional districts was not sufficient
IAN organization by congressional dis
tricts Is necessary TO get the amend
mcnt through Congress" she said, but
for either state referendum or rAtl-
iication OF federal amendment by a
state Legislature, II is insufficient
There is too little local appeal, Such
an organization engages only few
women actively: the great rank and
file Of suffragists are not intimately
concerned. To get state legislature
ready to ratify tho national amend
mCnt II will be necessary to convert
every possible state legislator, and
that needs an organization in every as
sembIy district which Is strong enough
to make Itself felt Moreover, IL, even
after the amendment has passed Con-
Eress. other states should be won for
suffrage. It would give immense i'm
petus to the ratification by other
states"
The national association, having in
troduced the federal amendment, must
now stand behind 1t and never cease
working for it. Mrs. Brown declared,
adding:
Meanwhile the association must go
on working in state campaigns where,
according to its best Judgment, the sit
uation is most promising. and continue

What Mr.. Wilson 0mitted.-The New
York Evening Post, most loyal sup
porter of President Wilson, presents
an arraignment of his speech of ac-
ceptance as severe as it is just. 1t
says: we find no record here Of his
vacillations and short comings in re-
lation to the European war. He does
not attempt to defend his complaisance
towards the labor unions; he is silent
as to his shameful breach Of faith to-
wards the colored people, his betrayal
of the party on the tariff principle, his
change of front on the tariff commits
sion, and other issues. There is no
hint here of the arrogance with which.
without adequate consultation with
party leaders, he has single-handed
changed the historic policies of his
party. As II he had had second
thought on the matter of national de-
Tense, he barely touches upon the ac-
tion Of Congress in the field of pre-
paredness. He has put his best foot
forward. but he cannot expect that the
numerous blunders and disappOint-
ments of his administration will be
forgotten. When one reads this speech
one cannot hut regret all the more
that Mr. Wilson has not lived up to the
promise of four years ago. Had he but
remained true to the principles he had
so often avowcd, his reelection would
now he moral certainty. Far moro
than the criticism Of his adversarfes,
Mr.. Wilson's own shortcomings and
compromises have today put many
thousands OF his former supporters in
n quandary rs TO whether in voting for
Mr.. Hughes they will not after all. be
choosing the lesser evil. From this
quandary the presidents speech, for

Mr.. Wilson's Acceptance. President
Wilson has been notified OF and has ac-
cepted the nomination. for another
presidential term. In his speech OF
acceptance. among many other things,
Mr.. Wilson failed to mention that
plank in the platform on which he was
elected which declared for a single
term for presidents. There must have
been a sardonic grin in Mr.. Wilson'S
mind. If not on his countenance, as he
pronounced the words, the people of
small and weak states have the right
to expect to he dealt with exactly as
the people Of big and powerful states
would be" and thought of how he had
treated Hayti and of the 600 graves
of Haytian soldiers which testify elo-
quently to the difference between Mr..
Wilson's treatment of them and his
treatment Of Mexico.
