NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-F0ur million
women's votes aren't to be sneezed
at this presidential year.
The two big parties admitted this
frankly today. and said they are turn
ing every possible attention to WOO
ing the suffragette ballots.
Each side claimed the majority OF
the women would be for them, but
each was Just as frank in admitting
that it is hard to tag women voters
and that there will be much fndepend-
ent voting.
AS the republican woman's branch
put it, "the women will not vote as
their husbands, brothers and sweet
hearts do"
The democratic camp said, suffrage
will not be determining factor. Wo-
men will reason for themselves and
vote as they. see At. though we be-
live they will see that Wilson Is their
best hope"
They are very earnest folk--these
women campaigners. A few around
headquarters of both parties looked
as though this hunt for the elusive
vote might be q fad, but for the most
part they had their coats of and were
hustling.
Both sides are making big drive
on strictly economic questions, argn-
lng that what affects men also at
fects women. Workers at Hughes
headquarters were busily engaged in
mailing out list OF questions for
women to ponder, involving largely
matters of higher living costs. tariff
and the like. These circulars sug-
gested, too. that on strictly women's
and children's matters. the g. o.. P.
had been the more favorable.
Around the corner. near the Grand
Central station. the democratic women
were just as busy mailing out litera-
ture to prove that the children's bu-
reau, tie commission on industrial re-
lations, the child labor bill and even
the federal reserve act and rural
credits measure are big arguments
why Wilson should have the women's
vote.

Nearly all these refugees had left

The Lokal Anzeiger says:
 According to everything one hears, S,ne must be convinced that our respon- tble statesmen, in complete agreement with the military leaders, now occupy a different attitude toward the general sit- ua ton than they occupied when the chan celor expressed our readiness to enter into peace negotiations under certain con- ditons These remarks, uttered with a feeling of power and a certain superiority but in no manner of weakness, found a fanatical echo among our enemies.
 Hence. everyone has to conclude that the leading men in the enemy camp lack all vision of the attainable, all under standing of the hard. immutable facts which already had developed. and have since that time only accumulated in great CT extent. Even then the chancellor left no doubt that in so far as his honorable wish to avoid further senseless blood letting should prove futile. we were de- termined to double our energies in order to open the blindest of our enemies eyes"

LOCAL MAN INVENTS
 TYPEWRITER LOCK

Letters patent Nos. 11743o4 and 11749oS have been granted Milton M- Blum of this city, for the invention of typewriter locks and typewriter locks mechanism an entirely original and practical de- vice. Models have been perfected for all leading makes, and the nature of the invention is such that any novice can apply or mount the lock in the type- writer-no boring of holes in, or defacing of the machine, is at all necessary In a locked position, the lock performs the double function of locking the carriage and keys of the machine and also locks itself firmly and rigidiy against removal from the typewriter. When unlocked it may be conveniently left sitting in its position in the typewriter, as it inter- feres in no manner with any operation of the typewriter.
 The advantages of the lock are mani- fold: As a time saver it gives busy operator complete Jurisdiction over his machine and immediate use thereof whenever necessary; it shuts out outsiders from tampering or using machine 1n- discriminatory and thus will reduce re- pair bills and save ribbons.
 Patent rights were secured by R. D Johnston, Jr, patent attorney of this city and the patent is broadly covered.

GENERAL DEBATE ON

 IS ENDED IN HOUSE
Continued from Page one)

l in the House, expressing approval of the Hay bill and declaring it was satisfactory | to the average American and as good as could be expected under the circum- stances. The nation as a whole, he said, wished to hold middle course.
 'They want peace," he said,' but not peace at an price. They want peace with honor. They believe thoroughly that there are things worth fighting for. They are not willing to bankrupt the country on military and naval preparations. They | are, however, willing to spend all that is necessary for the public defense.''
 Representative Mann characterized the bill as inadequate to the nations needs. saying it would provide for preparedness for peace, not for war
 q believe" he continued, "that it is the duty of the United States to prepare
 now an army which will add weight to diplomatic suggestions we make. The time has come when it is wise for us to consider the possibility, the probability
 of the future, and prepare now for what may come to us. If we do not we may regret it to the end of our lives.' Representative Mann, ranking repub- lican member of the committe, in closing the debate for the minority side, said that after all the first line of defense was the navy, and that 1t was more essential to put the navy on footing where it could maintain control of the sea against any enemy than it was to build up an army. While the navy controlled the sea, he added, no invader could reach Amer ican shores.
 Consideration of amendments began im- mediately on the close of debate. The only change made otday was to raise the rank of the chief of coast artillery from a brigadier general to major general An amendment by Representative Gardner, republican of Massachusetts, to increase the committees figures for additional men
 in the coast artillery corps from 17,00o to
 22,000 was voted down without division, but after considerable argument.
 When the House adjourned Representa- | tive Kahn had pending an amendment proposing a total authorized peace strength of 220,000 for the regular army, l instead of the committees figure of 10000. It will be taken up Monday and test l vote may come over it's disposition.
