peaied For Action.

ton cites the records Of the committee
hearings on suffrage in congress to
prove that the only congressman who
have gone before the judiciary commit
tee Of congress this year to ask that a
suffrage amendment be voted upon
have been Democratic members" Hc
adds that no others have appeared to
ask for consideration of the measure.
That is, l think. sufficient answer to
any claim that the Democratic party
opposed woman suffrage"
This record need only be supplement
ed with the personal voting history OF
the rival presidential candidates to
show who is the real friend of suf-
frage. President Wilson made two
trips from Washington to New Jersey
to register and vote for woman suf-
frage when it was submitted in his
state. Candidate Hughes did not take
the trouble to register or vote the same
year-1915-when the suffrage amend
ment was submitted in his state.
