St Louis, June 12.-Members Of the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association were elated tonight to re-
ceive telegram from Senator Borah,
who assisted in drafting the Republican
platform, declaring that document was
intended TO indorse equal suffrage un-
qualifedly. The telegram, addressed to
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, follows:
Suffrage plank of the Republican
platform is an unqualified Endorsement
Of woman suffrage. II unmistaksbly
fGvors the extension Of suffrage to
women, as a matter of justice. This IS
not subject TO ambiguity. The only
question open is the method Of secur-
ing it. The plank recognizes the right
Of each state TO settle the question it.
self, but it does not declare against
taking away that right
at was and is my view that on the
question Of the Federal amendment the
plank neither rejected nor indorsed it."
