men. It was the closing chapter IN
the first two-sided battle the grand
old party had lost in "a years. 1t was
the West triumphant over the East.
When told that California had given
it's vote to the President, William II.
Wilcox, Republican National Chair
man, refused to make any comment.
The news was flashed by wireless
to the President on board the yacht
Mayflower. which is proceeding up
the Hudson River to Rhinecliff.
The fight will have it's legal tangles.
In conference at Republican headquar-
tiers some of the leading attorneys OF
the city, among them George W. Wick
ersham, one time attorney general, de-
cided to begin proceedings at once for
a recount in the states where the
count has been close. This includes
California, North Dakota, New Mex,
leo, New Hampshire and Minnesota.
The Democrats had threatened re-
count proceedings in the event that
their cause was lost. They had made
a sweeping inclusion Of dozen states.
Watching every move made by their
rivals and listening with eagerness to-
every return from the debatable
states, powerful men in the Demo
cratic party gathered at Democratic
headquarters and announced that they,
too, would take part in any proceed

Lines Already Take Shape.
The lines early Friday had al
ready taken shape for battle
of legal giants over the election,
and there were strong limitations that
before the curtain is really and truly
rung down upon the situation the bat
tie will have been taken to the House
of Representatives.
simultaneously with the declaration
that the Golden State had spoken its
final word and that the President had
carried off the honors of the remark

Committee learned of the threatened |
recount proceedings.
It issued a statement which said in
part:
"The President has carried the coun-
try by plurality from 100000 to 300,-
900, with an Electoral vote absolutely
sure and with Minnesota, West Vir-
ginia and New Hampshire to be decid-
ed. To say there will be any contest
is an insult to the intelligence of the
American people.
Fought For Western States.
There is nothing to add to our
statements previously made. We have
claimed the reelection of President
Wilson since Tuesday morning. We
have been fighting especially for the
Western States"
Pacifism Plays Its Part.
This continued straight through till
the final returns came along Thurs
day night. The tidal wave-and it
was all of that-which rose in some of
the Republican strongholds rolled
through parts of the Central West,
and, strengthened and swelled by the
spirit of pacififism and almost unbe-
Iievable prosperity, swept over the
farm lands, the wheat fields and the
prairies of the West.

SOUTH Americans
FROWN ON ARMY move
(Continued From Pace 81

Continued From Page 3D.
19-The news OF mobilization of the
American militia stirred intense in
terest and a deep difference Of opinion
in South America today The great
mass Of the people in South America
are bitterly hostile toward the sud
den military activity in the United
States and look upon the action Of
President Wilson with distrust They
fear that the United States, despite
protestations to the contrary. is plan
ming territorial expansion They be-
lieve that il the United States does
not actually propose to extend its
boundaries southwark. it certainly
does propose to attempt a paternal
protectorate over Latin-America. Such
a protectorate would be viewed in
South America merely as a disguise
for the first step toward aggression.
The general opinion OF the public is
expressed as follows:
Americans in Mexico are now
harvesting the well-deserved result OF
their long meddling and interference
IN Mexican affairs They are reap
ing the harvest of blood, which is the
inevitable fruit of their political and
financial intriguos. Now these plot.
ters, caught in the net of their OWL
construction are calling upon the gov.
ernment at Washington to save then
even at the cost of long and terrible
war"
That public sentiment Is solidl,
with the MeXicans cannot be doubted
In official and aristocratic circles
there is evidence OF a moderately
trustful attitude toward Presiden
Wilson and a mild semi-belief in tn,
disinterestedness Of the United States
The attitude OF the aristrocracy is sum
med up in the following comment b.
a government official:
we do not distrust President WI
son, but our people would be please
with fresh guarantees. I'm stronge
I terms that there would be no terr
torial acquisition, in the event of ac
ual war between the United State
and Mexico"
Intervention and war are consiGe
ed the same thing and the situatio
is causing open anxiety. The failur
of the A. B. c. conferences at Niagar
Falls is recalled. with but slightly con
cealed doubt of whole-hearted co-ope
alton on the part Of the United State
with the governments OF Sout
America
South American governments nj
doubtedly will express a new declar
tion of purposes from President WI
son in the event of hostilities.

SUFFRAGE DEMAND
Miss Vernon Says They
Will Defeat Democrats

Beaten
DELAW AREANS
FAVOR PLANK

Miss Mabel Vernon, National Con-
gressional Union Organizer, who has
been doing suffrage work in the
West, returned home last night for
a vacation of several weeks which

OF the work for suffrage in the
West, particularly in connection with
the recent Republican and Democrat
ic National Conventions which were
held in Chicago and ST. Louis re-
spectively, both of which Miss Yer
non attended, Miss Vernon spoke
most enthusiastically.
Both at the Republican and Demo-
cratic conventions" said Miss Vernon,
'wc were received most courteously. In
fact the leaders of both parties at least
seem TO realize that we women are IN
earnest and that we do not mean TO
know defeat in any form and we all
feel that a great deal, has been gained
by the institutiug in each platform OF
suffrage planks.'
The formation of the Woman's Party,
of which Aliss Vernon was elected see
retary. was spoken of by her as one OF
the most thrilling and interesting move
ments in which she has ever Partici-
pated.
I'VE had some night last Thursday,
however" said Miss Vernon, in dis
cussing the Democratic Convention.
Miss Maud Younger. OF California;
Miss Anne Martin, of Nevada, and my
self. together with about fifteen news
paper correspondents, spent the en-
tire night outside the closed door of
the resolutions committee room'
. which was in session and which re'
mained in session until o'clock the
next morning Every hour someone
would stick his head out of the door
and we would say. Have you come to
the suffrage plank yet, and each time
the answer was Not yet. Early
In the morning we we're rewarded by
being informed that the Democratic
partv would have the following suf-
frage plank in its platform:
I'VE recommend the extension OF
the franchise to women by the states
on the same terms as men,.
When the plank was voted upot
from MOOR every btidMaiN uN'N5''

It is planned by the Woman's Party
which is working for the passage o.

I'VE mean what we say" said MIS-
Vernon. land the Congressional Upioi
and the Woman's Party will leave NJ
stone unturned to defeat the Demo
cratic party should that party IN turf
defeat the suffrage amendment.
