COngressionalUniOn Wins
His Endorsement of Fed
eraI Amendment.
ONE ON WILSON,
SAY HAPPY WOMEN
Now Watch Democrats Get Busy,
Leaders Chuckle-Sec New
Slap at Root.

Theodore Roosevelt scored one
against Woodrow Wilson by coming out
in favor of the Federal suffrage amend
ment yesterday. Until now the two
most distinguished sufragists in the
country have been tied, each voting for
woman suffrage in his own state, but
fighting shy of the move for a national
amendment. Members Of the Congress
sional Union have made at least ten at
tempts to persuade President Wilson to
support the Federal suffrage bill, but
he has always evaded the issue.
1t took only one visit 20 persuade Mr..
Roosevelt.
Colonel Issues Statement.
Yesterday morning a committee OF
the Congressional Union visited the
Roosevelt Offices in the Metropolitan
Building. Those present were Mrs.
Charles Beard, Mrs. Evan Evans, Mrs.
Philip Gerberding, of San Francisco,
and Miss Alice Carpenter. The state
TenL OOAVHNi 'sNNSN'N'-
and signed By him is as follows:
81 believe the time has come for
greater and truer nstionalism in this
country. | believe in the nationalist
ton Of the Issues which affect not only
men, but women also. The great prob
lens OF our country are national. In
the matter Of the railroads, for exam
pie, forty-six different sets Of laws for
their regulation merely check and
handicap their development and man
agement. A universal Federal law is
essential for railroads. In the same
way, the question of enfranchisement
of women has become national and de-
mands Federal action.
81 therefore heartily indorse any
Federal amendment which shall sub
stantially provide
"That the right Of the citizens of the
United States 10 vote shall not be de-
MED or abridged by the United States
on account of sex;
Congress shall have power and it
shall be the duty Of Congress, by APP
propriate legislation. 10 enforce the
provisions of this article
Congressional Union Happy.
Congressional Union members were
jubilant last night over their victory. -.
Now watch the Democrats get busy,
said Mrs. Beard. at won't be neces-
sary to have suffrage planks in. the
party platforms next November if the
Democrats take this warning and pass
our amendment right away. They will
have to do so, we feel, because they
dare not give the Republican party any
advantage over them. If they don't,
they know what those Western women
voters will do next November
1t was also pointed out that Roose,,
welt. in taking stand for the Federal
suffrage amendment. was going out OF
his way to oppose the policy OF Elihu
Root. an avowed anti-suffragist, al
though the optimists said that his stand
was but the signal for all Presidential
candidates 10 fall into line.
The Woman's Party will hold con-
vention in Chicago at the same time as
the Republicans.

No Hedging in Platform.
The platform which the Old Guard
leaders have in mind will be rip
shorter II adopted by the convention.
They assert that there will be no hedg
ing on the important issues involved
70 placate either the pacinsts or the
hyphenated voters Straight from-the-
shoulder declarations will be made, and
all the ducking and hedging will be
left TO the Democrats when they meet
at st. Louis.
The adoption of the platform before
the nomination of candidates will mean
big fight on the floor of tho conven-
ton. If the Roosevelt delegates finally
vote for the acceptance of the platform
the Old Guard leaders believe they will
have the Colonel in a pocket, to the
extent that the Roosevelt men will have
70 support the candidate nominated for
President.
A Pro-Roosevelt Platform.
The members Of the Old Guard de-
clare. however, that when the platform
is submitted TO the convention there
Will be little chance of big fight, be-
cause it is their intention to make it
the kind of document that will appeal
alike TO Colonel Roosevelt and his fol-
lowers.
IL is probable that IL the Old Guard
leaders carry out their plans, the plat
form will be submitted TO the conven-
ton Immediately after permanent or
ganization is effected and before en-
thusiastic orators begin placing their
favorites in nomination. This will
bring the platform before the conven-
ton on the second day.

on the President. Viereck or Washing
ton. IL all depends on the point Of
view
Since Federal authorities have taken
official cognizance of statements made
against President Wilson. Niereck was
asked several questions based on his
editorial. The first was, DO you think
that because of mere antipsthy the
President is inclined to be naughty
and intractable' with Germany when
accidental or trifing occasions OF dis
pute occur
Secret Pact with Britain Seen.
yes"
WAS the Lustsnia triAing occa-
sion?"
at was no violation of international
law"
DO you think that he is an 'amb
tious, corrupted and deluded citizen
who. because of his passionate at
tachment' to England. is led to 'betray
or sacrifice the interests of his own
country"
81 do" he replied.
Niereck further declared that he be-
lieved that the President was acting
in accordance with a secret under
standing between himself and England.
and that he was determined 70 have
war. Furthermore. according 10 Vie
reck, this country. under President
Wilson's guidance. has become worse
than a satellite OF Great Britain.
III the Federal authorities wish 20
make trouble for US, let them do so.
They will find more trouble than they
looked for" he said "We are pre-
pared to go into the courts and fight it
out. and we will win because we have
not disobeyed the law"
IT. II. Very Devil"
"Who will the Germans vote for in
the Presidential election" he was
asked
That's a hard question to answer if
the Republicans insist on putting up
some very devil OF candidate"
as Roosevelt the very devil?'
Eyes. but Root is worse. T. R. is at
least picturesque"
"In such case, will you have a Ger
man candidate -
"Yes-I mean, No." he FASTENED to
correct himself. We'll have an Amer
lean candidate. The only people in the
United States who are consistently
standing for America are the Germans
and the Irish"
The interviewer picked up his hat
and coat and was about to leave. On
his way 10 the door he noticed a pict
ure of most familiar face, under
which was scrawled, ITO my friend,
George Sylvester Viereck. Sincerely,
Theodore Roosevelt"

"Fatherland's" Chief.

The only real Americans left in these
United States are the Germans and the
Irish. You will believe that il George
Sylvester Niereck IS your prophet and

In an editorial TO be published in the
next issue OF "The Fatherland" Viereck
pictures President Wilson in the White
House writing the absolutely last final
edition message TO Germany. Suddenly
the lights go out and he is addressed
by the spirit Of George Washington.
The President is in the dark; literally
because the lights are Off and figur-
atively because he believes the spirit
is that Of George Niereck instead Of
George Washington. The President
cannot tell the difference at all.
"Wilson Naughty Toward Kaiser"
Says the President, gasping, "Who

Urges Socialist for
Possible Tariff Board

Appointment Of a Socialist, a Progress
sive, a Republican, and two Democrats
as the personnel of the proposed tariff
commission was urged today by Con-
gresham London, Socialist. He said
each party polling over 100000 votes
should have representation.
"It is utterly absurd" said London.
ito seek In the tariff a proper subject
of division along political lines. When
selfish interests make protection desir-
able, political affiliations have been uno
hesitatingly disregarded. The people
can hardly get fair chance at revising
tho tariff downward. a problem with
which political parties have been play
ing football q hundred years"

SMOKE IN CAPITOL
RESULTS IN FURRY

A temporary furry was caused at
the Capitol late yesterday afternoon
when the odor Of smoke d1fted
through one Of the lower corridors.
Because OF the ottawa fire. excite
ment was intense for a few minutes.
A small hre in a closet on the
ground floor in a corridor adjacent
to the Senate Committee on Rules
was discovered. Two buckets OF water
thrown on the flames by Charles
West. one Of the colored men on duty
In the vicinity, extinguished the
blaze. 1t Is supposed spontaneous
combustion caused the FIRE.
Because of the Ottawa FIRE, special
precautions are being taken both
with respect to watchfulness against
possibility of fire and guarding the
Capitol from cranks.
