Mondell Expects Benefits.

Representative Mondell of Wyoming.
author of the resolution in the House
embodying the suffrage ideas which
Judge Hughes has Endorsed, discussed
the general situation today. He said:
In addition to the direct effect the
Hughes announcement will have. l be-
lieye it will have this collateral ef-
feet: That the decisive manner of Judge
Hughes Endorsement will be pleasing:
There has been so much vacillation on
the suffrage matter and other matters
that 1 believe many people will be glad
to see a clean cut announcement.
Politicians on Capitol Hill believe
that there are many states where the
Endorsement of suffrage will have no
net result: that one thing will offset
the other and that the suffrage matter
will be no issue at all In New York
state, it is said. there will be strong
campaign for Hughes by the suffragists
and that they will outweigh the effec-
tive and antisuffragist organization in
that big state.

States Rights Appeal

Another strong sentiment among the
democrats is the foundation rock feel
ing that the Presidents declaration
that the suffrage matter should be set
tied by each state will appeal to all
democrats who have the states rights
theory at heart.
Among the republicans a belief Is
growing that the Hughes Endorsement
of suffrage in the decisive manner in
which it was made will absolutely
clinch the states of Colorado, Idaho,
California, Nevada and Montana.
The other states where women Will
vote In the presidential election are
Wyoming, Utah, Washington, Kansas,
Arizona, Oregon and illinois. The
chances are. according to democrats
and republicans alike, that there Will
be a merry battle among the women of
Illinois and a merry battle among the
men for the women's votes In that
state Votes for women is something OF
a novelty in Illinois. while in Wyoming,
where women have voted for a long
time, there is not SO much of an issue
on the suffrage question. 1t is a matter
of course there.

Democrats Beginning to Think
Hughes Announcement
Will Not Hurt.
G, o. P. LEADERS COUNT
ON WINNING MANY VOTES
States Where Women Already Have
Ballot to Be Interesting
Backgrounds.

Now that Mr.. Hughes announcement
in support Of universal suffrage for
women has had a chance to be mulled
over by the political campaign man
ayers Of both parties. conclusions are
being drawn by both democrats and re-
publicans widely different from one an
other.
In tho first place the democrats who
have been hesitating to go step
further toward woman's suffrage than
they have already gone. do not believe
that the Hughes declaration will take
from them any democratic votes in any
state where such loss will count. The
south. which is solidly democratic, of
course. will not feel the Hughes an
nouncement one way or another, and in
the states where women vote for presi-
Dental electors democrats say that the
possibilities were that these would go
republican anyhow, to a large extent.
