MISS anne MARTIN
REVIEWS The
CAMPAIGN

During and since the campaign just
closed there was abundance OF COM
ment and criticism OF the advisability
of granting equal suffrage to women.
MANY attribute the defeat of the Re
publican party to the women. 9th
ers believe that it was the attitude Q
the parties towards labor that caused
the vote of the workingmen west o
Pennsylvania to go so strongly for
Wilson. The following frank state
ment from Miss ANN Martin, ma
tional chairman OF the Woman's par
ty, is not only interesting, but very
instructive;
President Wilson was reelected
not only by means OF the labor vote
the progressive vote, and the peace
sentiment of the country, but because
of the keen and subtle use made OF
all these issues by himself and the
Democratic National Campaign Com
mittee. Their speakers were chosen
with adroitness and with reference to
local conditions, their literature made
the most of the issues of the cam
paign, their publicity and organiza-
ton were superior to that of their
opponents. The Democratic national
committee showed far more com
prehensive grasp OF the campaign as
problem, and put up an ADLER and
| more energetic fight than did the Re
| publican national committee. This
same statement is true as regards
the State committees in many instan-
ces. The Woman's party could not
be balance OF power unless the two
dominant political parties broke even,
or nearly even, in the twelve suffrage
States, as has been the case in cleo
tions for nearly twenty years past.
an Nevada we have been told b
our opponents that our campaign has
failed because Mr.. Hughes and Mr..
Plat were not elected. If we toll
crate the accusation that we were
working for the election OF the Re-
publicans, we may reply that our cam
| paign has been successful so far as
the election of the Republican, Mr..
Roberts and the defeat of Mr.. +. f
Game, the Democratic candidate for
Congress, IS concerned. Democrats
have been defeated for Congress in
other suffrage States. The majority
in the House has swung from the
Democratic to the Republican party.
But our policy is non-partisan, ant
! we worked for the election OF no par
ty and no candidates. When asked
by women throughout my recent tour
of the State who to vote for, and in
my speeches ! have always said 1--WE
urge you to cast a protest vote
against the Democratic national can
didates, vote FOR whom you please
Hughes, Bennett, or Hanley, for
President; Platt or Miller for the Sen
ate; only vote AGAINST President
Wilson, Senator Pittman, and Mr..
Game, thus casting a protest vote
against the national Democratic party
for its injustice to women
This woman's protest vote was
cast in Nevada in large numbers
against Senator Pittman. If there
had been any honorable political
meansn of concentrating this vote
against Senator Pittman in favor of

vention in Chicago
 There is no question that sentiment in California is overwhelmingly for Roosevelt" said Mir. Garford yester- day. Democrats, as well as Republi cans, are outspoken in their demand for him. I was for ten days in Ari- zona, and the feeling for him is strong. Everywhere the strength of it impress ed me as marvellous.
 Take my own state of Ohio. If there were a contest today upon which the people could pass, between Roose- welt and some 'favorite son of anybody else, Colonel Roosevelt would get an overwhelming vote. His support is particularly strong among business and financial men and among industrial workers who are all of them for pre- paredness.
 'I was in Detroit the other day when Colonel Roosevelt made his speech there. 1 noted that every mem Der of the committee in charge of the arrangements was the head of some big industry, and had been Taft sup porter four years ago. This only ex  everywhere now among sthe business men of the country.
 If you take stock of the different candidates at Chicago, what do they bring to the Republican party com pared with what Roosevelt has to of fer? Can the Republican party offer Roosevelt any honor he has not all ready had? He comes to the Republi- can party this time, not empty handed. He is a man for an emergency, and we are in an emergency. He has more l followers than any other candidate the Republicans could possibly name. He represents the strongest force the party can command. No man can be elected this year on the Republican ticket without the support of the men who stood behind Roosevelt in 1912"
 What about the German vote? The German newspapers say it will be cast against Roosevelt if he is nominated MT. Garford was asked.
 q don't believe that statement ap- plies to the German vote, by any means" he replied. q have talked with a number of prominent German lead CTS of industries, and their expression is to the contrary. One of them, a very well known man, said this: Here is the difference between Roosevelt and Wilson. Roosevelt is against hyphenated citizenship, and everybody knows it; Wilson says he is the friend of the Germans, and isn't. I would rather vote for a man who openly de- clares his honest convictions than a man who DretendS one thing and does another"

were opened should so prevail over the spirit healed and that the spirit of America should so prevail over the spirit of division. It is the all prevail ing md triumphant spirit of America where hy our common action and con sent governments are set up and pull ed down while their affairs are ruled by common counsel and where by the healing processes of peace all men are united in a common enterprise of lib- erty and of peace.
 And vet, the very object for which we are met together is to renew in our hearts the spirit that made these things possible. The union was saved by the processes of the civil war. That was a crisis which could be handled, it seemed. in no other way. but l need not tell you that the pecularity of this sin gular and beloved country is that it's task. it's human task. is apparently never finished; that it is always making and to be made. And there is at pres ert upon us a crisis which seems to threaten to be new crisis Of division. We know that the war which is to ensue will be war of spirit and not of arms. We know that the spirit of America is inyincible. and that no man can abate it's power. but we know that that spirit must upon occasion, be as- serted. and that this is one of the oc- casions. America is made up out oi all the nations of the world. Look ai the rosters of the civil war You vii
 see names there drawn from almost
 every European stock. Not recently
 but from the first America has drawI her blood and her impulse from all tho
 foundations of every race. and because
 she is thus compounded out of the peo,
 pies of the world her problem is large

 problem of cOmpourding out of man!
 elements a single triumphant force.
 "The war in Europe has stirred thu
 memories of men drawn from many O
 the belligerent stocks. It has renewe'
 in them a national feeling which ha
 grown faint under the soothing influ
 ences of peace. but which now flare fup when it looks as if nation had chal !, lenged nation to a final reckoning an, , they remember the nations from whic they were sprung and know that the are in this life and death grapple.

should criticize it. We have no criti- cism for men who love the places of their birth and the sources of their origin. We do not wish men to forget their mothers and their fathers. their forebears running back through long. laborious generations which have taken part in the building up of strength and spirit of other nations No man quar- rels with that. But all that we do crit iciZe is that in some instances men have allowed this old ardor of another nationality to overcrow their ardor for the nationality to which have given their new and voluntary allegiance. And so the United States has again to work out by spiritual process a new union. when men shall not think of what divides them, but shall recall what unites them. when men shall not allow old loves to take the place of present allegiances; when men must on l the contrary. translate that very ardor Of love of country of their birth into the ardor of love for the country of their adoption and the principles which 1t represents. l have no harshness ir ! my heart even for the extremeists ir 1 this thing which I have been trying ir moderate words to describe but I sum. i mon them, and I summon them very l solemnly, not to set thier purDos, against the purpose of America.

 But what are the purposes O

WASHINGTON, May S0.-Deter- mined Republican efforts to enlarge the building program of the navy ap- propriation bill as reported from the naval committee resulted today in the adoption by the house sitting as a committee of the whole, of an amendment increasing the number of submarines from twenty to fifty. Pro- posals to provide for six battle cruis- CTS instead of five and to add two dreadnaughts and two scout cruisers 10 the program were defeated after lively fight.
 In order to finish consideration of the bin by the time fixed. four o'clock Friday afternoon. the house had a three hour session today instead of recessing over Memorial day, as usual.
 So decisive were the votes against additional battle and scout cruisers that the bigger navy advocates virtu- ally have decided to abandon the fight for them, but they still hope to get the two battleships. Another attempt will he made when the house returns to regular form or Friday

He said the army organi- zation bill now before him bristled with that interrogation point. which he warned all the business men of the country is staring them in the face
 The president said he was for uni versal voluntary training. but that America does not wish anything but the compulsion of the spirit of Amer ica." He added that the people of. the nation were watching each other fnd that a great many men, even when they did not want to. were going to stand up and say Here.
 Following is the text of the speech;
 Whenever I seek to interpret the spirit of an occasion like this. I am led to reflect upon the uses of mem ory. We are here today to recall a period of our history which in one sense is so remote that we no longer seem to keep the vital threads Of it in our consciousness, and yet is so near that men who played heroic parts in it are still living, are still about us, are still here to receive the homage of our respect and our hCnor. They belong to an age which is past, to a period the vital ques- tions of which no longer vex the na- tion, to a period of what may be said that certain things which had been questionable in the affairs of the United States were once for all sett- led disposed of, put behind us, and in the course of time. have almost beer forgotten.
 Tt was a singularly complete work that was performed by the processes Of blood and iron at the time of tht civil war; and it is singular how thu sentiment has ruled our spirits since i was made. I see in this very audience men who fought in the confederate ranks I see them taking part in thes, affairs in the same spirit of sincere pa triotism that moves those who tough on this side of the union, and I reflec how singular and how handsome thing it is that wounds such as the

these rights up, to vindicate them. to offer a home to every man who believed in them, that America was created and her government set up We have kept our doors open because we did not think we were inconsistent and did not want to close them against men who wanted to join their forces with ours, in vindicating the claim of mankind to liberty and justice.
 America does not want any addi- tional territory. She does not want any selfish advantage over any other nation in the world, but she does wish every nation in the world to understand what she stands for and | to respect what she stands for. q said the other evening that one
 of the principles which America held dear, was that small and weak states
 had as much right to their sover- eighty and independence as large and strong states. She believes that be-

 nothing to do with her principles. And l also said that l believed that
 the people of the United States were i ready to become partners in any al
 liance of the nations that would
