PREVENTED A LANDSLIDE.

NJ @tN @S - 1rNiNCSGtCGs
There is ample proof that the Wo-
mans party campaign was the only
thing which prevented President Will
son from winning in the western states
by landslide majorities. Our appeal to
the western women voters was the only
political power which did anything to
check the overwhelming landslide
which Mr.. Wilson's peace appeal would
have brought about.
THE Democratic party realized from
the start that they had to fear the
strength of the Woman's party. So
they started early in the campaign,
even before they raised their kept lis
out of war slogan, to work on the
western women voters, leading them to
believe that President Wilson and the
Democratic party were real friends Of
political freedom for American women.
DEMOCRATS ON DEFENSIVE.
THE Democrats were on the defen-
sive from the start, showing that they
realized full well that If they were TO
win the election, 1t was necessary for
them to capture the western women's
votes. Their speakers devoted much of
their time and energy to combating the
Womans party.
we LOOK TO the future with conf
dence knowing that after the wonder
full showing made In the large protest
vote rolled up by women against Mr..
Wilson, no party will longer have the
courage to ignore the claims of the
women of the nation for their suffrage
rights. We expect to see an amend
ment to the United States constitution
enfranchising women passed at the
Inn ugiA Of
mitted to the states for ratification"

BIG DEMAND FOR
MORE DWELLINGS
Suggests Concessions to Build
ers Who Will Develop
Property in Borough

With the big plant of the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company employing nearly
1000 men and every tenantable house
In the borough occupied, Steelton real
estate men and prominent citizens are
giving much thought to the housing
problem.
In this busy steelmaking borough
thls problem is more a question of
number of houses than quality, as
tnere is scarcely a dwelling of any
KIND Tor rent here at this time, ac-
cording to real estate men.
This scarcity of suitable dwellings
mas peen retarding the normal, healthy
estate men, and much thought is being
given some solution to the problem.
suggestion worth thinking over is
mace by a prominent citizen. It is
this: Induce the borough council to
make concessions to prospective build
eFs Tor definite period of say six
months. These concessions might in
clude exemption from taxation for two
years. free water for a similar time
and free connections to the sanitary
sewers.
Such concessions" declared this
man, would quickly induce builders
to recognize the demand for moderate
priced homes here and it would be a
paying proposition for them to build
under these conditions. Such a plan
would also work out to the ultimate
advantage of the borough, for after
the exemption period there would be a
steady inflow of taxes and water rents
to the borough treasury"
To Place Fountains. - In addition
to the apparatus at the various play
grounds, Supervisor James R. Irwin is
planning to have sanitary drinking
fountains placed near each play
ground.

An order ofsfar preaching Importance
was handed down today by the public

Washington and Old Dominion Rail-
way Company for discontinuing its
former rates over the Aqueduct bridge
without the commissions authority and
directing restoration of the 2-cent
bridge rate and transfer arrangement

The ruling follows the action OF the

rangement between that concern and
the Capital Traction Company, under
which a scent ticket was good for a
continuous ride between any point on
the Capital Traction Company's line
and Cherrydale. Va
IN It's decision the commission holds
that the Capital Traction Company is
without blame in the matter. but di-
rects the corporation counsel to take
any steps that he may consider neces.
sary to impose upon and collect from
the Washington and Old Dominion rail-
way penalties provided for violation
OF the law. 1t also directs the company
within ten days to conform its rates of
fares from the south end of the Aoue-
duct bridge, in the District, to it's ter
minal at 36th and NJ streets to cents
and vice versa, and its fare from the
south end of the bridge to any point

Police reports show that four per-

Inspector Owen Egan Of the bureau
of com5ustibles said the explosive was
q bomb containing higI-power dyna-
mite. 1t was placed under the edge of
the platform.
A subway train containing passen-
gers had left the station Just two MIN
utes before the explosion occurred
Subway employees at that station said
they saw no one lettering about and
did not know how the explosive was
brought into the station. The only
theory they could suggest was that 1t
might have been set off because of the
street railway strike. which has been
in progress since early in September.
The explosion took place before day-
light. 1t tore up one OF the railway
ties. broke away a part of the con-
tionery and news stand and threw the
ticket chopper twenty feet from his
post. The explosion was heard nearly
a mile away.
