Wilson and MexicO.-other friend,

plore the fact that in his speech OF
acceptance he, apparently inadvertent-
~, abandons the pretense so long
maintained that he seized Vera Cruz in
order to compel Huerta TO salute the
flag. and frankly says that it was his
purpose to force out of office 1.-THE I'M
speakable Huerta" Whatever people
may think of the wisdom OF an effort
TO force Huerta out Of office, the public
is not likely to enjoy learning that
their president wilfully. deliberately
deceived them when he went into Vera
Cruz, and for months afterwards, and
that. when he declared In his Indian
apolis speech that he would not butt
in to Mexico nor permit anyone else
TO do so. he was laughing in his sleeve
at the unintelligence and credulity of
the people which had enabled him TO
fool them into believing that he went
into Mexico TO force salute to the
flag when he actually went in, as he
now tells them, to force Huerta out.

Too Little Local Appeal.
Mrs Brown held that in building IN
state organizations, working in con
gressiOnal districts was not sufficient.
An organization by congressional dis
tricts is necessary TO get the amend
ment through Congress" she said. but
for either a state referendum or rati-
ilcation Of federal amendment by a
state Legislature. II Is insufficient.
There is too little local appeal. Such
an organization engages only n few
women actively: the great rank and
iile of suifragists are not intimately
concerned. To get state Legislature
ready to ratify tho national amend
mcnt II Will be necessary to convert
every possible state legislator, and
that needs an organization in every as

to make itself felt. Moreover. If, even
after the amendment has passed Con-
gross. other states should be won for
suffrage, 1t would give immense i'm
petus TO the ratification by other

The national association. having in
PRODUCED the federal amendment, must
now stand behind It and never cease
working for it, Mrs. Brown declared,
adding:

debate on the question OF whether

Its efforts on a federal amendment,
was feature Of the opening session
of the associations annual convention
here today.
Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper. Of New

while Miss Laura Clay. Of Lexington.
Ky, argued in favor of combining the
right 10 individual states: n third de-

stop state Work.
Mrs. Harper declared that the assoc
citation should concentrate on the
Susan y. Anthony federal amendment
and the work in the individual states
be discontinued.
We have now obtained enough equal
! suffrage states to make our measure
national political issue, Mrs. fIar-
per said: Ito force Its endorsement
by the platforms of all five OF the par
ties; to persuade n presidential can
didate to declare for the federal
amendment which his party was too
boss-ridden to favor: to compel the
president OF the United States TO re-
verse his own attitude completely and
defy the platform ON which he was
elected and TO wrest from reluctant
Congress n vote in both houses and
to scare 1t so badly that II has resort
ed to every subteriuge known In that
body in order not to put itself on rec
ord again before the election!
Stop Minor Attacks.
Have we not now reached point
where we can stop these minor at
tacks on our opponents right and left
wings and march our forces straight
up to the congressional trenches
where the main body of the enemy lies
concealed"
Mrs. Harper named as opponents
the corporations. the liquor and 9TH
er vice interests.
we have had enough Of appealing
to the individual voter with his secret
ballot, Mrs. Harper added. alluding
10 the state fights, We demand a
fight in the open that we may recog-
nize our foe and the influence behind
them. Why were both Republican and
Democratic conventions willing TO ia
vOr woman suffrage through state ac-
ton? Because they knew they were
putting 1t on till dOomsday. They I'M
derstood perfectly that in fully one
half OF the states where women are
still disenfranchised the constitutions
are so framed that amendment is prac-
tically impossible. Let us
have no more of these state campaigns
with their killing work, their personal
humiliations. their fraudulent votes,
and their stuffed ballot boxes.
Now that our measure has been
brought through generations of toll
and sacrifice in sight of the promised
land, let us not wander another forty
years among the states hut take tho
necessary steps at this meeting to en-
ter into possession without needless
delay"

Mr.. Wilson failed to mention that

STOLEN" AUTO
FOUND IN CITY
JUDGE A. C. BLoUNT's FORD,
WHICH HAD BEEN TAKEN
FROM GARAGE WITHOUT PER-
MISSION, TURNS UP SAFELY.

Auto No. 20, the property of Judge
A. G. Blount, If it could talk, would
probably be able to tell tale of a
thrilling night which it went through
Thursday night when it was taken
from the garage. The car was re-
ported to have been seen passing
through Flomaton, several hours
after it was known to have been
taken from the home of the owner.
Despatched with mud and clay,
and as mysteriously returned as it
was taken, the car was found yester-
day morning near the home of Judge
Blount. Those who made use of the
Ford during the night had evidently
not ridden all night on paving or on
dry ground, for the machine was COW
cred with dust, mud and CRIME, hav-
ing the appearance of car just hav-
ing completed long and rougr jour
ney.
AS soon as it was located yester-
day, the police department was mott
fed, for, shortly after it was missed,
Chief Sanders was put on notice that
it had been stolen, and police report
was written up to that effect. There
was no clue as to who had used the
car all night, and there is no telling
just how far it was driven.

BOXING KANGAROO
DIES OF PNEUMONIA
BOB FITZsIMMoNs, BOUGHT BY
THE SHEESLEY SHOWS RE-
GENTLY FOR $4,000 DIES AT
WINTER QUARTERS.

Bob Fitzsimmons, the boxing Kan
CARGO is dead. He cost the Sheesley-
Shows $4,000 the first day of January
and was shipped here from Australia.
Bob" as he was known to the at
tachees of Mr.. Sheesley's aggrega-
ton, was bound to be an exception to
the Rodent family, inasmuch as he
possessed a powerful frame and had
developed wonderful speed and a
punch that would make any light
weight vince.
There are two distinct classes Of
the large Kangaroo, the Wollaby and
Boomer. The former are fleet of
foot and very wild and live in the
most inaccessible retreats, while the
latter take more kindly to the en-
vironments of civilization and do not
fear the members of the human fam
lily when treated kindly.
Wild animals just now are hard
to Get into the country, as the most
of them are brought from markets
which are war ridden and the risk
is so great in bringing them across
the war zones that their importation
is almost entirely stopped, and the
largest dealers in the world, (Hagen-
becks) have entirely stopped their
shipping and suspended business and
in some instances were obliged to
shoot many of their animals for
want of food, their headquarters at
Hamburg and Leipsig being in the
midst of military activities.
Bob" contracted a severe cold dur
ing the last freeze after a rapid ex-
ercise and rub down, which later de-
veloped into pneumonia. The animal
trainers remained with the stricken
beast all night administering to its
wants and trying to induce it to take
the medicines usually given in such
cases.
The body and hide have been en-
balmed and shipped to the Smithson-
ian institution at Washington, D. c.
and presented to the, Museum of Nat
ural History by Mr.. Sheesley. He
had already given number of speci-
mems.
Mr.. Sheesley leaves for Chicago
Saturday to consult with his agents
relative to big fair time next fall.
There is a convention of fair man
ayers at that point each spring and
all the representative shows are
called into consultation where attrac-
tions are presented and discussed.
Mr.. Sheesley will have as strong a
show as there is on the road this
year and expects to land big plum
at the convention.
There were estimated to be four
thousand people at winter quarters
last Sunday and as but two more open
Sundays remain for the shows before
leaving time, this Sunday should be
a record breaker, when all the car
niverous animals will be fed in the
afternoon, giving everybody an OPP
portunity to see them devour their
great rations of rare beef.
Some how it got noised around that
Mr.. Sheesley was paying twenty-five
cents each for cats which were fed
to the animals, and boys have been
bringing bags full of kitties to the
grounds, and after being told that
lions don't eat cat meat the boys. just
turn their prisoners loose. A a re-
suit there are so many of them in the
locality of the zoo that nights have
been turned into bedlam by the
midnight providers.
