Declares for Amendment to
Federal Constitution Pro-

RESPONDS TO AN INQUIRY
BY SENATOR SUTHERLAND
Believes Question Should Be Def
nitely Settled and Removed
From Political Discussions.

NEW YORK, August l.
Charles E. Hughes today declared
for an amendment to the federal
Constitution providing for wom-
an suffrage. Mr.. Hughes views
on the subject were made public
in letter he has written to
Senator Sutherland of Utah.
Mr.. Hughes letter to Senator George
Sutherland was in reply to telegram
received from the senator asking the
nominee to define his personal position
with regard to the equal suffrage fed
eral amendment.
States His Position.
Mr.. Hughes replied as follows:
Your telegram has been received. In
my answer to the notification 1 did not
refer to the proposed federal amend
ment relating to woman's suffrage as
this was not mentioned in the plat
form. 1 have no objection. however.
to stating my personal views. As
said in my speech, l think it to be
most desirable that the question OF
woman suffrage should be settled
promptly. The question is of such a
nature that it should be settled for the
my view is that the proposed amend
ment should be submitted and ratified
and the subject removed from political
discussion
Senator Sutherland's Telegram.
Senator Sutherland's telegram to the
nominee. sent from Salt Lake City last
night reads as follows:
You will no doubt recall our CONVEX
sation a few days ago. when l urged you
to make public your views with regard TO
the equal suffrage federal amendment
feel quite sure there is nothing in the re-
publican platform which in any manner
would conflict with such a declaration.
That platform commits the party TO the
principle of woman suffrage and recog-
nizes the right OF each state 70 uetermihe
the question for itself.
TT is silent upon the subject of con-
stitutional amendment and therefore
leaves everybody of the party free to
determine for himself this question
The submission of the amendment Is
desired by many millions of voters and
/ think the day is coming when Con-
gress should recognize this widespread
desire by adopting the resolution of
submission and thus enabling the
states to pass upon the question, which
without the preliminary action of Con-
gress, they will be prevented from do
ing
Matter of Intense Interest"
."rhere is a feeling of intense interest
in all these suffrage states in respect to
your attitude and l think it most i'm
portant that you should, as soon as
possible, state publicly your present
position in respect to the matter"
Mr.. Hughes was asked today for a
statement on the reception given him
last night, when he delivered his speech
of acceptance. He said:
To my mind it was a most crafty
ing reception. 1t seemed to me that II
showed most conclusively that there
was no misunde with respect
to the issues of the campaign. We have
had an inadequate administration and
