lOWA'S DEMOCRATIC
LEADERS ARE STAUNCH
FRIENDS OF SUFFRAGE

One of the states most enthusiastic
suffrage men is James j. Doty of
Shenandoah, stock food manufacturer
and democratic candidate for lieuten-
ant governor This makes three of the
leading democratic candidates for
state offices who are strong suffrage
supporters. E. T. Meredith, candidate
for governor, and John r. Clarkson of
Abba, candidate for attorney general,
also are staunch friends of the suf-
frage cause. Mr.. Meredith is a mem
Der of the finance committee of the
Iowa Mems League for Woman Suf-
frage.
In letter to the Iowa Mems League
for Woman Suffrage Mr. Doty outlines
his stand on the suffrage question:
"it is needless on my part to tell you
that am very much interested in this
work. We are organizing here in our
locality and will put on very strong
| campaign. Anything l can do to as.
sist you in this work, will be pleased
to do. 1t is my opinion that suffrage
will carry and if we who are inter.
ested in il let it fail it is because we
let it go by default
At the time he consented to become
the party's candidate for governor Mr..
Meredith declared himself for suf-
frage, though he had often gone on
record as favoring Votes for Women.
John t. Clarkson's stand on the suf-
frage question is equally emphatic,
for no stronger supporter of the cause
can be found in the state.
Some of the prominent democrats
who are supporting equal suffrage are:
Frank r. Wilson, Sioux City; O. P.
Myers, Newton; G. A. Kenderdine, To-
! ledo; A. R. Miller, Washington; Fl. II.
Crenshaw, Abel; w. w. Marsh, Water
loo; A. F. Kearney, Maquoketa; NJ. F.
llealy, Fort Dodge; Congressman
Steele, Sioux City; w. d. Jameson,
Shenandoah; Walter H. Dewey, Chari-
ton; d. w. Hamilton, Sigourney; Par
ley Sheldon, Ames; and Judge Hubert
Uttelback, G. o. Holly, Charles Cooter
and |. I. Jones, all of Des Moines:
Claude R. Porter, Centerville; Sena-
tors Ream, Fleck, Lindley, Gillette
and FAIR; Earl Bronson Spencer: l..
S. Remington, Newton; E. G. Dunn.
Mason City; H. B. Bracewell, Corydon.
and others.

LEADING REPUBLICANS
OF STATE SUPPORTING
EQUAL SUFFRAGE CAUSE

Iowa suffragists are particularly
fortunate in having the support of the
leaders in the various political parties
in the state. This is especially true of
the republican and democratic parties
The list of republican leaders who are
supporting equal suffrage is a most
formidable one and should have much
influence with the voters of Iowa.
Iowa's two senator's, Governor
Clarke and majority of the state Of
ficers eight of the ten republican con-
gressmen and scores of prominent re-
publicans are enthusiastic suffrage
workers. Three of the four republican
candidates for governor Attorney
General Cosson Senator Joseph H. AL
len and Carl F. Kuehnle favor equal
suffrage. Both Mr. Cosson and Mr.
Allen have endorsed suffrage many
times.
Recently Mr.. Kuehnle said:
~ favor woman suffrage. i can see
no logical reason why the ballot
should be denied to woman. Woman
can perform her civic duties in other
way thdh ~ HSHGihss IL HSHUlHS Is
the all supreme necessity she is en-
titled to the ballot because she is the
mother of the fighters
A few Of Iowa's republicans who
favor equal suffrage are:
Senators Cummins and Kenyon,
Governor Clarke, Attorney General
Cosson, e. w. Garrett, Ole o. Roe,
Secretary of State Allen, congressman
Haugen, Good, powell, Towner, Green,
Ramseyer Sweet and Woods, Judge S.

er battles Of his, DRY We're minute
in comparison with This one. Victor
Murdoch, former Kansas newspaper
man and Congl essman, writing Of
the west front after a visit and be-
fore the battle CT Verdun, said
the war would be decided on the
west front, and the side equipped
to wait until the enemy attempted
to force its way thru would win
the war. His plophesies are es-
pecially interesting at this time.
The French, British and Belgian
Il lines are twenty miles deep from
first line to rail head, and cannot
be broken by any force ever Yet
treGches can be taken here and
there in grand assaults preceded
by heavy ARTILLERY. The. line, how
ever, is implegnable. Back OF this

saults of the Germans that would
have to come some day. AT the
battle of Verdun, ten truck loads

the French front, according to one
wounded officer, while shells and
ammunition We're piled up beside
rallrcad lines from the front back

that end u victory German guns
have failed to break the line tho
thousands We're brought up from
the Balkans, from the Russian front
and from the factories for the
task of blowing a hole in the
French front and deciding the war.
The question Of the war is now,
| How long yet?
| Peace is again being talked. A
prominent French statesman says
that it is near, and a British firm
has cancelled arrangements with a
Galveston shipping firm because
immediate peace is in sight.

dissenting vote, a hurry-up bill to

of the leading men of
the state are in favor of Votes for
Women. Iowa's two senators and nine
of the eleven congressman have eX-
pressed theselves in favor of suffrage
in letters received by the Iowa Mems
League for Woman Suffrage in the
last few weeks, and word is expected
shortly from the other two members
of the delegation.
The attitude of Senators Cummins
and Kenyon is we'll known to almost
every 1owan. Both are taking keen
interest in the campaign and Senator
Kenyon hopes to be able to take part
in the speaking campaign during May.
The senior senator stated recently that
he wished to do everything possible
to promote the cause of suffrage
Congressman Thomas ]. Steele of
Sioux City, the lone Iowa democrat in
the house, wrote recently that he in
tended to vote for suffrage in Iowa.
Congressman Haugen of the Fourth is
loaning his three automobiles and
paying the gasoline bills for their use
In the speaking campaign, and Con-
gresham Towner made number of
suffrage speeches before he was called
to Washington.
Judge w. R. Green of the Ninth dis
trict also is an enthusiastic suffragist.
"'The subject has been SO thoroughly
discussed that / do not think of any
new arguments could present in its
favor. will say, however, that !
never had any doubt but that the con.
stitutional amendment would carry in
our own state whenever it was sub.
mitted to the people," Judge Green de-
clared in his letter.
Congressman Frank p Woods of the
Tenth says:
81 have heard no good argument ad-
vanced as to why Iowa women should
not vote"
Congressman James W. Good of the
Fifth:
