ADDRESSES SOCIALISTS
Mrs. E. J. Weed Charges Party Lead
ers Brought Out Amendment Meas
ure at Inopportune Time.

| EITHER the present session of Congress
will pass the Susan b. Anthony amend
ment or we shall oppose the Democratic
candidate for President IN the election
this fall. They have temporarily side
tracked the bill in the House, but It will
| be passed upon before the election or
the Democratic party will have every
force of the Congressional Union work
ing toward the defeat not only OF their
| candidates for Congress, but for the
highest Office in the country as we'll"
This was the statement made last
| evening by Mrs. K. ]. Weed before the
! Socialist party gathering at Sl1 E street.
Mrs. Weed is one of the lobbyists at the
Capitol for the Congressional Union.
II accuse the Democratic leaders in
/ Congress of bringing out the bill grant
ing its authority for a vote on that
amendment in the States at time when
1t should not have been brought out.
They knew 1t would be defeated, so they
voted on II. Senator Thomas Of Colo
RADIO, was the chairman OF the commit
| tee which reported II. and we made such
inroads upon his majority In Colorado
| that he thought for four day. he had
been defeated, and returned to the Sem
ate with a majority of only 5000 In the
entire State.
Threatens Democratic Party,
Ohiy IcNthlly party power put
| off until some time in December the con-
sidertaion OF our suffrage bill. Most of
the people at the Capitol think II is dead
until then. but I know that 1t must be
passed before election day comes or we
! will fight the Democrats at the polls
until they will think the Republicans are
the best friends they have In the world.
The United States is governed by par
ties. Whatever the leaders of the domi-
| mating parties say shall be done In Con-
gress is done. President Wilson has the
/ power to have the suffrage amendment
adopted. Administration bills become
laws by his word; why not suffrage?"
Mrs. Weed said that the suffrage meas
ure would have come up for consideration
at the last session had not the Demo-
cratic leaders declared otherwise and the
Rules Committee adjourned in md-July
to remain without session until the
close of the session. She blamed the
party IN power for the failure to pass
this legislation. and asserted that II the
Republicans elect a majority of the next
Congress and II this measure comes be-
| fore them and fails because of their in
activity or activity. the Congressional
Union will oppose them In their cleo
tons.

hame, an erstwhile rough rider and
later lieutenant colonel of the in
sular guard of Porto Rico. will COM

Mr.. Roosevelt, it was learned, has
been working upon the details of the
division for more than a year. He
conceived the scheme, 1t was said,
soon after the sinking of the Lusitania
in the belief that it's services might
be needed against Germany. The idea
of using 1t for service in Mexico de-
veloped when crisis arose in the Sit
uation there.
Details of recruiting at present have
been placed in the hands of Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., and Regis H. Post with
temporary headquarters in Mr.. Roose-
velt's office in New York city. The
raising of the division is of course
contingent upon the outbreak of the
war
1t is the intention of Mr.. Roosevelt
to mobilize the force at some trans
Mississippi point to which access by
excursionists would be difficult. Fort
Sill, Oklahoma, has been mentioned
as a suitable place.

T.R. ASKS PERMIT
TORASE ARMY
Division Will Be Complete in
All Units; Commanders
Chosen

New York, July 10. - Undeterred
by signs of peace. Theodore Roose-
welt, it was learned yesterday, has
made formal application to the War
Department for authority to raise a
division in the event of hostilities with
Mexico. Mr.. Roosevelt's application
is for a reinforced infantry division
with permission to mount one and
possibly two of the three infantry
brigades. Instead of the usual divis-
ional regiment of cavalry, Mr.. Roose-
welt has asked for a cavalry brigade.
His proposed artillery complement
includes, besides the customary regi-
ment of field artillery, a motorcycle
machine gun regiment. With the aero
squadron, engineer regiment and hos
pital corps the force he has asked
to be allowed to recruit would con-
stitute a complete field army of about
$4,000 men.
For his brigade commanders Mr..
Roosevelt has selected Rear Admiral
Cameron McRae Winslow, who will
retire on July 20 from the command
of the Pacific fleet, and three we'll
known officers of the regular army.
Another regular army officer will be
chief of staff with the rank of Briga-
der General if the War Department
grants such a request in his letter of
application.
Henry T. Stimson, formerly Secre-
tary of War, will be chief quarter
master with the rank of Lieutenant
Colonel. Robert Bacon, formerly
Ambassador to Paris, either will COM
mand a regiment or will hold a place
on the staff with a field officers rank.
Among those whom Mr.. Roosevelt
expects to serve as his regimental

To Avoid Dandruff

You do not want a slow treatment
when hair is falling and the dandruff
germ is killing the hair roots. Delay
means-no hair
Get at any drug store. a bottle of
zemo for 25c or 500 for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff
germ, nourishes the hair roots and i'm
mediately stops itching scalp. 1t is
sure and safe, Is not greasy, is easy to
use and will not stain. Soaps and
shampoos are harmful, as they contain
alkali. The best thing to use is zemo,
for it is pure and also inexpensive.

nooga has inaugurated the campaign
in that city, collecting rags and trash
paper and delivering it to a paper
concern. The object of the members
is to raise the debt on their institu-
ton.
Canada, equally embarrassed by the
shortage of raw materials for making
paper, is following the lead of the
United States. The Canadian Red
Cross at Toronto distributed fifty thou
sand receptacles among the house
holds and business places of the city,
requesting the owners to make use of
them as containers TOR waste paper
and old rags. Once a week the con-
tents of these receptacles are collected
by motor trucks, delivered to the pa
per concerns and the proceeds added
to the reserve fund of the organiza-
ton.

NOTIFICATION TO
OPEN CAMP AIGN
[Continued From First Pagel

lCon0nue0 from First Pagel
Pacific by the end of the week of his
notification. This change in plans
he had intended to start West about
August Is = has been urged upon Mr.
Hughes because of the State election
in Maine in September A Governor
and two Senators are to be elected
then and it is considered advisable
that he may return to the Pine Tree
State In time to take a prominent part
in the campaign.
Roosevelt and Taft May Stump Maine
1t is probable that Colonel Roose-
welt and ex-President Taft will enter
the Maine skirmish. and with this
formidable array the Republicans feel
sure of victory, which they believe
would have an important effect on the
national election in November. 1t is
understood by the Republicans that
the Democrats will send Secretary of
Commerce Redheld, Secretary of the
Interior Lane and possibly President
Wilson into the Maine fight.
There is little chance of any I'M
portant change in these plans There
has been some talk of the notification
being held on July "a, and while this
is possible, the later date is favored
by most of the leaders.
Probably the only other speaker at
the notification meeting will be Sena-
tor Harding, chairman of the Nottfica-
ton Committee. The members of the
Progressive party will be invited to
turn out in force. The meeting will be
followed by a series of conferences
among Republican and Progressive
leaders, which, 1t is hoped, will do
much to put an end to any feeling
which may still exist. Doubters in the
Progressive ranks will then be given
to understand fully that no resent
ment will be held, at least by the Re-
publicans who wish to follow Mr.,
Hughes, because of the 1912 smash
UP.
No Rest Till Election for Nominee
Mr.. Hughes consented to the plan to
jump into active campaigning imme-
diately after the formal notification
ceremony without protest when the
importance of a victory in Maine was
submitted to him. BY making an early
start for the coast he will be able to
get back when the Maine fight is be-
ing brought to a close.
The Republican nominee now
re alizes that from the time he starts
West until election day he will have
little opportunity for rest. He may
get a vacation of few days in the
Rockies, but after his speech in Maine
he will begin shorter jumps to the
doubtful States. One trip will carry
him South, where he will campaign
in Tennessee, Maryland, Kentucky
West Virginia, North Carolina and
possibly two or three other States. He
also will devote much time to New
Jersey Massachusetts and New York
in the East and to Ohio, Indiana
Illinois and other States in the Middle
West
Yesterday Mr.. Hughes gave some
time to his speech of acceptance. He
walked to church with Mrs Hughes
and his daughters. His program for
to-day calls for the abandonment of
his usual two hours of golf because of
the mass of work which he faces.
