ROBINS MAKES APPEAL
FOR VOTES Of WOMEN
Attacks Wilson Policy and Women
Vote Pleasure President Is
With Them.

Atlantic City, y. j.. Sept. s.-"1
want no more easy promises or coun-
ellis for an easy patience. I'm going
forward to the limit to get suffra ge
for the women of America. and I'm
going to waste no time about 1t"
RAYMOND Robins, of Chicago. brought
wild cheers from the delegates to the
convention of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association this
evening, when he attacked the Wilson
policy for nation wide suffrage as they
heard it expounded the night before
The world prefers a real test of
life to an academic Interpretation OF
it." Mr. Robins declared. We need
the women of this country in our
politics. We need their vote now.
We are quite willing to place plenty
of responsibility on our women. but
want power where / place re-
sponsibility. Women need to be able
to wrestle with conditions in effectual
terms"
The emergency convention today
reelected Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
president and unanimously adopted a
series OF resolutions which contained
an acknowledgment that all presi-
dental candidates have declared
themselves in favor of woman suf-
frage. President Wilson has said that
he would fight with us and Mr..
Hughes has announced his support
of the Federal amendment, call upon
the Democratic and Republican can
didates in the several States to take
steps to obtain acknowledgements of
women and contained the following
clause:
I'VE Further felicitate ourselves
that for the first time a president OF
the United States has publicly de-
clared his belief in woman suffrage"

CAMPAIGN IN MAINE
CLOSED BY HUGHES
Administration Shipping Bills Object
OF Assault In Sipbuiiding
State

Rockland. Me-. Sept. 9.-Charles
e. Hughes tonight closed the State
campaign in Maine with a slashine
attack upon the administrators ship
ping bills He launched this new Of
fensive at Brunswick this morning
with charge that the measure was
"a direct menace to the shipping in
terests of the country"
AS a measure to meet a temporary
exigency he said 1t was almost rtdicu-
lous. and that It held out nothing but
disaster for the shipbuilding industry
OF the United States -
The assault gathered force as the
Republican candidate moved later to-
day to Bath. fine old home of the
shipbuilding interests OF the coun-
try"
1t eliminated tonight at an old.
fashioned political demonstration
which cheered Hughes utterances for
more than three minutes. The CAM
paign ends with the result In grave
doubt.
On his Anal day. Hughes acceded
to the demands OF the party managers
and mentioned by name Fred Hale
and Bert Fernald, the two Repuhli-
can senatorial candidates.
He continued to strike out on the
Adamson elght-hour Dill Issue, which
has set the politicians worrying. but
did not play the preparedness and
American keys as he had been re-
quested. Wherefore. 1t seems to be
anybody's fight tonight.
The end came in a blaze of glory
for both sides.
An old-fashioned street parade
started thingA and with red fire blax-
ing and six bands adding to the din
of the cheering. two rival rallies were
held In the same town. the Democrats
holding at Arcade Hall, and the Re-
publicans In two big tents, packed

POLITICAL EYES OF NATION
ARE CENTERED ON MAINE
Election of State Officials Monday After Campaign On Ma
tional Issues Expected To Show Trend-Demo-
Gratis Claim II, 900 Votes Plurality of
30OO-G O. P. Claims Stronger

man Hamm, of the Republican State
committee, claims the State by $4,000
plurality.
Mr.. Pattangall believes the Demo-
Gratis will poll 1900 votes. The Re-
publican chairman says the Repuo-
leans will poll 10000
Certainly 1t has been the greatest
campaign waged in Maine since the
days OF James G.. Blaine.
Both Parties Work Hard.
In making predictions concerning
Maine it Is impossible to leave out
the fact that only once since the Civil
War has Maine gone Democratic. The
increase of Democratic strength In
the State may be clearly Judged for
the Democrats are making such eff
forts to carry Republican States. The
Republican stalwarts are about even
ly divided. The Republicans are real
ly working to roll up a big plurality
for Its effect upon the nation. The
Democrats are striving to hold down
| the plurality for the same reason.
In the meantime the Democratic cam
paign has gone so we'll that the more
enthusiastic of thhe Democrats sim
cerely believe they have a hope of
success.
However this may he the election
will be significant in any event. II
the Republicans DO not carry 1t by
more than 5000 II will really be a
Democratic victory. II the Demo-
Gratis should carry 1t. It would be an
extraordinary and significant defeat
for the Republican party.
Chairman Pattangall made this
final statement:
The political situation In Maine
has pretty we'll cleared up, and II liz
possible to give an intelligent idea
of the probable results OF Mondays
voting, Contrary 20 the earlier out
look. the total vote will not vary
much from that Of the September
election in 1912. Irrespective OF the

HENRY FORD SUES TRIBUNE COM
PANY FOR $1,OOO,O0O DAMAGES

Henry Ford, the Detroit auto multi
millionaire, filed suit against the Chicago
Tribune Company in the United States
District court, on September 7th, seeking
damages of 100000.
The suit is based on an editorial pub
lished in the Chicago Tribune on June 23rd
Of this year, entitled, Ford is an anar.
chist.' The editorial was a vicious at
tack on Mr. Ford, denouncing his attitude
toward employees who joined the National
Guard
The vice president Of Mr.. Ford's com
pany had announced to a newspaper man
that the company would not pay the sal
aries of employees who went with the
troops to the Mexican border, and on their
return they would be considered for re-em-
ployment on the same basis as new appl-
cants.
In statement some days later, how
ever. Mr.. Ford indicated that the men who
went from his plant to the border would
find their jobs open upon their return.

SOME ROADS OPPOSE FIGHT
AGAINST ADAMSON EIGHT
HOUR LAW

A New York report claims that there
is growing sentiment among men in high
places of authority in railway affairs, that
the Adamson eight hour law should not be
attacked in the courts until after the cleo
ton, and that if Mr. Wilson is reelected,
there should be no attack if the president
moves within reasonable time to get laws
passed that will lift the burden of the short
day from the carriers.
1t is claimed that conservative railway
men believe the chances Of getting their
share, together with enjoying the good
will of the White House, will far out
weigh the value of the chance Of beating
the law in the courts They have, there
fore, advised acceptance of the law for
what it is worth in order to preserve the
chances for compensatory legislation in
the way Of an increase Of freight rates.

MEXICAN PEACE CONFERENCE
AT NEW LONDON, CONNECTICUT

The Mexican Joint Commission is now
in session at New London, Connecticut,
it's object being the peaceful solution of
all problems affecting the relations of
the United States and Mexico.
The members are hopeful of complet-
ing their work by October LIST.
While Secretary Lansing has told the
Mexican commissioners that the person
al rights and property interests of A
mericans in Mexico must be given con-
sideration, it is reported that Mexico is
seeking the flotation of a big loan in
this country for the aid of Mexican rail-
ways.
The Mexican commissioners contend
that Carranza is rapidly establishing
law and order in his country, and they
are earnestly insisting on the withdraw
al of American troops from south Of the
Rio Grande. In reply to this, the Am
erican members point to the fact that
Villa has again become a menace, and
that other bandits are burning and kill
ing.
Redistribution of lands through a
taxation scheme that will break up the
large holdings, has been a suggestion
made at the peace conference
