WILSON DELAYS PICKING
SUCCESSOR TO MORGAN
No Postofice Appointment Here
Until O'Gorman Goes Out

Washington, Dec. 19.-No successor
TO Postmaster Morgan, Of New York
City. will be appointed until after the
adjournment Of the present Congress,
March (, 1917. This was made clear to-
day by high official.
The significance Of the delay lies in
the difficulty OF the Administration
picking A man who would suit all sides
in the controversy. After March 4, it
was pointed out, Senator O'Gorman will
no longer be a member of the upper
house and a recess appointment may be
made without the necessity OF con-
frmaton by the Senate. On the re-
converting Of Congress there will be no
Democratic Senator from New York and
the problem will be much simpler.
The only restriction on the appoint
ing power then would be that no one
personally Objectionable 10 the Repub-
iican New York Senators could be con-
frmed. Even a minority Senator, under
the unwritten rules of Senatorial cour-
tesy. can block the confirmation of an
appointee in his own state, and par
ticularly his own town, whom he feels
to be personally Objectionable"

WASHINGTON, D. c., WOMEN
TO VOTE IF DRY ISSUE RISES
Mrs. Gait Sees in Senate Action FINAL
Victory for National Suffrage

Washington, Nov. 1s.-"The female
Of the species has sffrighted the great
men on the hill" said Mrs. Carrie Chap

American Woman Suffrage Association,
commenting on the overwhelming vote
Of 81 to IS in the Senate to-day IN
favor of granting women equal fran
chise with men, should the question Of
prohibition be submitted 10 the people
Of the District Of Columbia.
"A great many large straws are in
dicating Just now the way the suffrage
wind Is blowing" said Mrs. Gait.
when certain Senators in Washing
ton discuss the suffrage question, they
Invariably talk about pedestal, or
woman's weakness, or some other old
and showroom excuse for keeping wom-
en- DISTINGUISHED, but these same Sena-
tors have revealed that their seemingly
deem convictions are only barbados
set up artihcially TO keep the truth
from being known.
"They revealed the truth to-day
when they voted on the amendment 70
the District Of Columbia prohibition
bill. These same Senators largely voted
10 permit the women a ballot upon
prohibition. Why? They want the
prohibition measure 10 carry.
$50. after all, they care little about
woman's sphere when they want her
vote to further their own wishes. The
suffrage question has been reduced in
Congress 20 one of eXpediency. The
vets are afraid the drys will profit
by the women's vote. The Republicans
are afraid the women will always vote
Democratic. The Democrats are afraid
they won't. The South is afraid Of
the negro woman. Certain Senators
are afraid of Catholic women.
"The female of the species has af-
frighted the great men on the hill. \
little more time, little more clear
thinking, and the Federal amendment
will go through Congress with a

reau VOWS it can't paint our glorious work as
