FAME AND SUCH

FAME AND SUCH
I've seen bloke step TO the plate
And soak line drive. clean and straight.
Where some outfielder in the way
Hauled it to earth and saved the day.
And then I've seen another swing.
\ haf-bsked, looping lucky thing,
\ weak attempt that won the game
Yet such is fame.
I've seen one make perfect shot
That landed on the proper spot.
Yet got bad kick from the cup
And lett the other guy one up.
And then I've seen another play
\ hali-topped shot that won the day
\ tub that should have left him Dutch
Some fame is such

President Wilson has stood firmly by the platform Of his party adopt
ed a St Louis in spite OF the threats OF the suffrage leaders,. The e.
publican candidate has repudiated his partys platform in one particular
IN the promise OF the support of the suffrage leaders. But the man who
has stood for the principles upon which he was nominated will win the
support OF the people, and OF the mar who has repudiated his platform
to please a few women agnators. Facts are facts, and these marshaled
by a woman contributor to a New York paper are pertinent:
In forty-seven years woman suffrage has carried in states representing
ninety-onc electoral votes. In two years woman suffrage has been de-
feated i'll states representing 1856 electoral votes There are W electoral
votes from the fifteen Democratic states OF the solid south. Only eighty
nine o votes are required to reeect the president! There ire five
states-New York, Ohio, Massachusetts,, New Jersey and Mchlgan-rep-
resentng no electoral votes. These, added to the electoral vote OF the
south, are sufficient to reelect the president with nearly thirty votes to
spare. What are the chances of securing these states?
All five statcsc an be considered Democratic. Four OF them went
Democratic in 1872 and Michigan has gone Democratic since Q9l1 by
more than two to one. These FIVE states have all defeated woman sf-
fragc at the polls since the last presidential election. There were zOl1-
500 votes poned against woman suffrage, with a majority W. tn sui
frage advocates OF $4,000. -Four OF these states w a n aggregate
plurality to President Wilson OF $4,000 votes in 1912. No Republicans
have claimed any OF these states for their candidate by any substantial
majority. 1t is apparent. therefore, that the Republican candidate, in de
claring for a federal suffrage amendment, DISTINGUISHING these, voters on
a question which many of them consider as important as who shall be
president of the United States, has alenated an element in the electorate
possessing five times the power necessary to defeat him and to re-eIect
President Wilson, who stands for state rights. If only ne anti-sufra-
git n FIVE in these states votes against Hughes, Wilson will win in a
walk-San Francisco Journal of Commerce.

MRS. BELFORD'S WITHDRAWAL

In another column OF the Appeal is published a letter from Mrs.
Sam Beford to Miss Minnie Flanagan, acting president Of the Nevada
Women's Civic League, in which Mrs. Behord tenders her resignation
as a member Of the league aud also as a member Oft the executive board
During the fight to obtain woman suffrage in Nevada Mrs. Belford
was one OF the most active workers for the cause in the state. Since the
right of suffrage was granted the woman OF this commonwealth Mrs.
Belford, along with a big majority OF the women who we're advocates OF
woman suffrage, has worked consistently for the best interests OFT the
community in which she lives, for the state and for the nation.
That, woman suffrage is not the paramount issue before the people
today is the belief OF the Appeal, but ven ii it were, why a small cotere
OF women take it upon themselves to deliver the votes OF all the women
in the suffrage states to Candidate Hughesa who had not the in
terest. Of his state sufficiently at heart aside from the suffrage question, to
even take the trouble to register SO that he might cast his vote-passes
understanding.
Before woman suffrage a granted it was said that women would
help to purify politics. The Appeal believes that statement to be true.
But publication will not be brought about through the methods Of vote
delivery used by the founders OF the Womans party.
That the Martnets in Nevada cannot deliver the goods was made
plain last Wednesday when Mr.. Hughes visited Reno. OF the 800 mem
bers the Martiuets claim to have in that city only thrty-one materiahzei
to greet the Republican candidate and most OF them e OF his po1t-
icl faith.
The women OF Nevada have taken a deep interest in national ques-
tons OF the day. They know that a bird in the hand is worth two IT.
the BUSH they know what President Wilson and Senator Pitman have
done, not only for the cause of woman's suffrage, but for other hunlanl-
tartan measures dearer 10 their hearts-they do not know what Caudi-
date Hughes and Hon. Sam F1att will do-therefore, the majority oil Ne
vada women, irrespective OF party, will last their vote for Wilson and

DEMOCRATIC ENACTMENT

The Democrats have passed the rural credits act. the federal re-
serve banking act, the income tai law, the good roads law, the trades
commission law, a eighthour law for government employees, the child
rens bureau law, the industrial commission law, the antitrust law, the
Smith ever agriculture law.
They have abolished the dscredued commerce court and empowered
the interstate commerce commission to make a physical valuation Of
the railroads. The president has demanded that the child labor law be
passed before the close OF the present session and there is every pros
pect that it will be Most of these reforms we're cardinal points in the
Progressive party platform of 1912, as we'll as pledges of the Democratic
party. In view OF this record of progressive enactments, how a any
sincere Progressive consistently support Mr.. Hughes as opposed to Mr..

WILSON AND LINCOLN

The opposition to Woodrow Wilson is making the anne kind OF a
fight that a. made o Lincoln when he stood for the second term.
Lincoln was accused Of vHcllaton, procrastination, tenporization, pusi-
lanimity, phrasc-makng, playing politics. Now all these things have
blended into what the panegyrists call his sublime patience" Woodrow
Wilson may not be a Lincoln, but he has been patient. His patience has
kept us out Of war. On the var ISSUE the opposition has simply nothing
to oppose to Woodrow Wilson.
Would Mr.. Hughes have had less patience or or with Germany,
with Mexico? On either horn he must impae himself. There is n o es-
cape by a middle way"-St Louis Mirror.
Last summer the Appeal spent considerable space in its columns
urging the cutting OF weeds along the sidewalks in the residence section.
Where this was done there is a notceably smaller crop this year. Now,

STAFFORD DECIDES
AGAINST SMITH
Rules that l.. & n. President Must
Answer Questions Regarding
Campaign Contributions of
His Railroad
tAssociated Press)

Washington, Oct. 4.-That Milton
I'll. Smith, president of the Louisville
& Nashville railway, must answer the
Interstate Commerce Commission 's
questions regarding the political cam
paign fund contributions of the road,
is the substance of decision render
ed today by Justice Stafford of the
supreme court, District of Columbia.
The court held that the commission
had the right to know about such con-
tributions, not because of their polit-
ical nature, but because they affect
questions of reasonableness of rates
and important questions of railroad
accounting. Mr.. Smith refused sew
eral months ago to answer the ques-
tions asked by Joseph w. Folk, coun-
sci for the commission, at the inquiry
into the affairs of the Louisville and
Nashville and the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and st. Louis. Al series of ques-
tions dealing with alleged political
contributions were submitted, approx
ed by Chairman Meyer of the commits
sion. They were unanswered by Smith
on advice of counsel.
The commission petitioned the court
TO compel testimony.

sumed with such vigor that all were
able to leave for their homes, tired but
