LOST BY A HAIRS BREADTH.
Suffrage Lost i'm Iowa by Less Than
5000. Over 10000 Votes Cast
for il.

The closeness of the division in
Iowa on woman suffrage may best be
appreciated by putting it in percen-
tages. Suffrage polled 1872 per cent
of the vote, and sos per cent was
cast in opposition.
To put it another way, out of ev-
cry ninety-nine men, forty nine were
for suffrage, forty-nine against, and
one man was uncertain, but inclined
toward the negative. All that the
women need do is to win over the
one man who was uncertain but who
voted no"
Suffrage has been defeated in the
last five states where it has been sub
mitted to popular vote-New Jer-
sey, Massachusetts, New York, Penn
sylvania and Iowa.
In Pennsylvania, suffrage had a
majority outside one county. In
Iowa it had a majority outside two
counties.
Sometimes it is more discourag-
ing to lose a number of close contests
than to lead forlorn hope. But
equal suffrage is a forward move
ment. Recessions are practically i'm
possible. Gains are slow, but when
they are made they are maintained.
1t is possible under the Iowa con-
stitution for another suffrage amend
ment to be submitted at special
election in 1919, Or the primary cleo
ton of 1920. Whether the next leg
islature votes to submit will depend
in large part upon the earnestness of
the suffrage workers of Iowa, and
the emphasis which is placed upon
the movement over the whole coun-
try.
1t may be worth suggesting to the
women of Iowa that while academic
study Of politics is anything but in
teresting, they can make their ap-
peal for the ballot irresistible if
they will actively take up current
political issues and show their abil-
ity to pass judgment upon men in
political life from president down to
constable
Cne OF the argu lents against equal
suffrage is that women do not un-
derstand politics and have no inter
est in it. The way to meet this ar
gument is through a demonstration
that it is not true.-Register and
Leader.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1916-06-14
AN EXPLANATION THAT WON'T
DO.

1t may still be worth noting that
Mr.. Harding carried Audubon coun-
ty, says the Cedar Rapids Republi-
can, which is the home county of Mr..
Cosson and that he also carried the
precinct in which Mr.. Cosson has his
home in Des Moines while he is serv-
ing the state as attorney general.
To say, as some do that the "wet"
vote decided the Harding victory is
so much nonsense. Surely no one
will contend that a county like Au-
dubon is "wet," nor can it be due to
the fact that that county wanted to
slap prohibition that it voted for
Harding instead OF its own flavor
ite son" Cosson. The political ex-
planationists must find something
more convincing. II the Harding
majorities had been rolled up ex-
clusively in Scott and Dubuque coun-
ties the current explanations might
pass muster, but when the majorities
for him are quite as decisive In the
dryest of the agricultural counties
we must find some other cause for
the vote.

Democratic National Convention.


/. President Wilson has issued his
final instructions to the Democratic
national convention, now in session
at st. Louis, which he controls, which
he will manage over the long dis
tance telephone, and which will re-
nominate him unanimously for re-
election. This is the attitude of the
president upon the major questions
with which the convention, which
assemblies today will deal:
He desires the denomination of
Vice President Thomas Riley Mar
shall of Indiana.
He desires the adoption of the
Democratic national platform which
he has revised and in part written.
He desires action by the party to
attract the support of the Progress
sives by the advocacy of the princi-
pies for which they have contended,
and possibly, in the discretion of the
convention, by formal invitation to
affiliate with the Democrats.
He sanctions action by the con-
vention, either in the platform or
a special resolution, condemning Mr..
Hughes, the Republican candidate,
for remaining member of the Su-
preme court while his friends were
promoting his nomination..

Pope's Participation In Peace Conference
 Is Again Discussed

Rome. Feb. 3.-The question as to whether the Pope will be authorized to send delegates to the peace confer ence which is expected to be held at the conclusion of the war is raised again by Count Soderini a mem Der of the Italian chamber of deputies, and the man to whom Pope Leo XIII. en- trusted the documents from which the history of his pontif1cate was to be written.
 | Count Soderini says that Pope Ben to the papacy, has always aimed at the conclusion of a, just and lasting
 peace. Those who oppose his par
 t1cipation in the peace conference says Count Soderint, 'tdo so for fear he may raise the question of the in
 standardization of, the papacy, which Italy considers would involve. the in- reference of foreigners in her inter nal affairs If the Pope took such a step he would create new reasons for a conflict, which shows obviously that
 such could not be his intention as his
 sole desire is for peace. The Pope be-
 ing an Italian and intelligent natural 1y seeks a solution of the Rome ques- ton independently of foreign inter-
 vention. His participation, through
 delegates, in the prospective peace
 conference as the greatest spiritual
 power in existence would exercise an
 immense moral influence in the solu- ton of the arduous questions regard
 ing Poland, Belgium, Serbia and Ar menia''
