WHAT PRESIDENT WILSON SAID

Atlantic City was CAV the past
week with the golden pennants Of the
suiFragists. President Wilson and his
wife attended the convention and the
former addressed the delegates.
In his speech the President said:
Il have come to fight with you for
the ballot. The astonishing thing
about the movement which you rep
resent IS that il has not grown so
slowly, but that il has grown so rap
idly. No doubt for those who have
been a long time in the struggle, il
seems n long and arduocs path that
has been trodden. but when you think
Of the cumulative force Of this move
ment in recent decades, you must
agree with me that il is one of the
most astonishing tides in modern his
tory. Two generations ago il was a
handful Of women who were fighting
for this cause. Now il is a great
multitude Of women who are fight
ing for it.
Il get a little impatient sometimes
about the discussion Of the channels
and methods by which it is to pre-
vail. II is going to prevail, and that
is very superficial and ignorant view
of il which attributes il to mere social
unrest II is not merely because the
women are discontinued. IL is be-
cause the women have seen the Wis
ions Of duty, and that is something
which we not only cannot resist, but.
if we be true Americans, we do not
wish to resist. Because America
took its origin in visions of the human
spirit in aspirations for the deepest
sort Of liberty Of the mind and Of the
heart, and as visions of that sort
come up to the sight of those who
are spiritually minded in America,
America comes more and more into
her birthright and into the perfection
of her development"

This is one of the latest model

and ours is the only one of the

By the addition of this machine
