WOMEN WAR ON WILSON
Suffragists to Make Open Fight on
President in Twelve States Com,
mend Stand Of Hughes on Votes.
For Women Question,

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. 12.-
The national woman's party in execu =
tive conference here Friday, pledged it
self to use its best efforts in the twelve
equal suffrage states to defeat the
democratic candidate for president;
congratulated the progressive, prohi bi :
ton and socialist parties upon their
endorsement of suffrage for women by
national action, ana commended tn.
position of Charles Evans Hughes the
republican nominee.
Mr.. Bertha Fowler, Of Colora do,
chairman, in calling the conference To
order, termed President Wilson's at
t1tude toward the movement for ma
tlonal equal suffrage as one Of cynical
contempt" and political expediency-'
Women who endorsed the plan to Sc
cure suffrage by states, she said, were
political doormats of designing politi-
clans"
The Anti-WiIson Resolution.
The statement of policy was con-
tanned in three resolutions unanimous
ly adopted, setting forth the attitude
Of the woman's party: First, with re-.
spect to the democratic party; second
with respect ia the progressive, pro-
hibition and socialist parties, and,
finally, upon the announced stand OF
Charles E. Hughes upon national equal
suffrage. The text Of the first resolu-
ton said:
Whereas, the present administration
under President Wilson and the demo-
cratic party have persistently opposed
the passage of a national suffrage
amendment; and,
Whereas, each of the other national
parties, either by their platforms or
thru their candidates, are pledged to
the passage Of a fedral amendment
enfranchising women therefore be 1t
Resolved, that the national woman's
party, 80 long as the opposition of the
democratic party continues, pledges it,
self to use it's best endeavor in the
twelve states where women vote for
didate for president, and in the eleven
states where women vote for members
of congress, to defeat ire candidates
Of the democratic party for congress-.
Their Comment on Hughes
The third resolution said:
Resolved, that we commend the po-
sition of the republican candidate Tor
president, Charles E. Hughes, for the
uneouivocal stand which he has taken
for human liberty by his endorsem ent
Of suffrage for women by national ac-
ton, and assure him Of our apprecia-
ton of his statesmanlike< position"
Concerted effort to secure a formal
endorsement of the candidacy of Mr..
Hughes was defeated, altho advocates
Of what was termed positive policy
expressed qualification at the resolution
commencing his stand.
National officers of the party were
apparently elated with the result Of the
conference. TIE non partisan chara cter
Of the woman's party, they said, had
been maintained and members were in
position to devote their entire ener-
gies toward the passage Of the federal
amendment without losing their iden-
tity in the ranks Of other organiza-
TONS
