President Wilson would change his attitude and throw his influence toward
the Susan B. Anthony amendment
The news that the president still held to the policy that the matter
should be settled by the individual states was taken as decidedly hostile
to the movement.
"The women of the United States who are demanding their rights
cannot in selfrespect allow a man who has taken such a stand to return
to the White House for another four years" said Miss Mabel Vernon,
secretary Of the Woman's party president Wilson has shown his stand
in the matter and has held out no hope to the women of the nation. There
is no other course for the National Woman's party to pursue We must
fight for our rights and the fight must be a vigorous one. To return Presi

he passed culverts on the road filled
