BUT THE DEMOCRACY
TO SUE FOR WOMAN VOTE
Other Parties to Be Represented at
Conference of Woman's Party
in Colorado Springs.

The democratic party will not be rep
resented at the conference of the wom-
ans party in Colorado Springs this
week, when the equal suffrage seekers
share in the presidential campaign will
be discussed. according to announce
ment made at the headquarters of the
Congressional Union for Woman's
Suffrage.
Miss Alice Paul. national chairman
Of the Congressional Union, announced
that She had been notified that the
Hughes Alliance. the prohibition and
the socialist parties will have repre-
sentatives at Colorado Springs to pre-
sent their point of view to the woman's
party.
Democratic Party Indifferent.
None Of the existing political parties.
except the woman's party. it was
pointed out by Miss Paul. has a single
organizer in the field prepared to unite
the great and indeterminate woman's
vote which, Miss Paul claims, will be a
determining factor in the election. The
old political parties have been caught
to round up the necessary women's vote.
and. therefore, are obliged to come to
the woman's party to ask its aid.
THE democratic party is the only one
which seems to have failed to realize
the strength and the thorough organi-
Zation of the woman's party. Perhaps
it will act yet" said Miss Paul.
Organization Progressing.
Political organization work for the
national woman's party is going on
apace in the twelve western equal
suffrage states. This was the report
brought her by Miss Doris Stevens,

Would Leave It to States.

Senator Fletcher announced that he
would not vote for the bill because he was
convinced that the states should deal
with the question. Florida had good
child labor laws. he said. and he did
not want them interfered with by fed
eral inspectors.
Senator Bryan of Florida denounced
the bill as dishonest legislation, saying
the effort to deal with hours of labor
in the states indirectly through control
of commerce was a tacft confession of
the lack of control Of conditions OF
labor. and an improper assumption Of
the rights of the states.

Age Limit Restored.

Another amendment which the con-
ferees eliminated was the La Toilette
provision increasing the minimum age
limit for enlistment in the regular
army or militia in federal service from
eighteen to twenty-one years. without
consent of parents or guardian. The
conference restored the minimum age
limit to eighteen years.
The appropriation total. $267, ,597 900,
is an increase of sS5,00o.o00 over the
House figures, and exceeds by more
than $1e6, 100000 any army appropria-
tion bill in the history of the govern
ment, the largest previous appropria-
tion having been S101, 100000. in 1856.
Among the big appropriations are the
following: For aviation. s1S, ,2s1, ,66S: pay
of officers of the line, $4,000, 900; trans
portation. 5000 600; clothing. $40. .2S0.0o0;
subsistence, s20.00O.000; ordnance stores
and ammunition. SO, 100000 of which
IS, 000 COO shall be expended for purchase
of munitions. the remainder to be used
for manufacturing. ordnance, stores and
supplies. $500. 600: armed motor cars,
$500, 900. reduced from s1,0o0,000; field
artillery and ammunition for National
Guard. s2O. .090. 900. reduced from $2S.200.-
600; for automatic machine rifles, S12,000,-
900. reduced from $15.000,000.
Money for Training Camps.
For training camps. such as that at
Plattsburg, the bill appropriates
S2.ooo.0oo, a. reduction from s4.3O0,0o0
in the Senate bill. The original ap-
preparation was on an estimate that
900 men woa.ld participate in the
training camp drills. whereas only
about 10000 are expected this year.
An appropriation of s450.0o0 in the
Senate bill for the state of New York
for reimbursement of expense in
mobilization of the National Guard was
stricken out, it being for expenses of
mobilization in excess OF the troops
called for by the President.
In the provision creating a council
for national defense the report changes

Issue should be submitted to the states
as constitutional amendment.
'If this legislation is constitutional. Mr..

absolute absorption of the police powers
of ths forty eight sovereign common
wealths. and there will be no barrier in
the way of Capitalization Of all power
