WOMEN IMPOTENT
TO ELECT HUGHES
0utnumbered by Benighted Males
Who Voted for Wilson

New York, Nov. 14.-Miss Helen
Party during the last campaign in
California, Arizona, and Utah, re-
turned to New York yesterday to say
that it was not the women's vote that
defeated Charles E. Hughes.
Miss Todd said she had had a thrill
ing experience, but she came home
unhappy in not having elected the
candidate for whom she had worked,
and full of grief at finding that last
Wednesday "Spokane," otherwise
known as "Spoky," small, shaggy
black poodle and the mascot Of the
woman's party had been lost in New
York. A generous reward has been
offered for "Spoky." The dog disap
peared from 60 Washington Square
Wednesday and Miss Todd says he
has undoubtedly gone hunting lost
ballots, for he was an enthusiastic
campaigner. devoted to the cause OF
suffrage. and willing to give his life
for the cause
"I never had such an experience in
my life" said Miss Todd, speaking of
her trim land I never have been SO
thrilled at the way the western wom-
en- responded when they understood
that the eastern women really wanted
the vote. They haven't understood.
That was one of the most important
things l learned in my trip, and also
that it was not possible for the Wom-
en- to have elected Mr.. Hughes or lost
for him the election.
eff all the women in the western
states had voted for Hughes they
could not have elected him. Those
suffrage states are all male states.
The proportion of men to women Is
two and three to one. 1t is three to
one in Nevada, two to one in Colo
RADIO, and there are 1875 men to every
100 women in California. We could
not stir the men with anything we
had to say, but we could stir the wom-
en- when they finally understood"
The women In the west, Miss Todd
said, were at first skeptical as to the
different reception suffrage was get
ting In the east. They couldn't un-
derstand the attitude Of eastern men.
Aren't they all the same menu
they asked" said Miss Todd The
men Of the east are not a different
kind from the men Of the west. What
Is the matter with the women?' Then
when T told them of the tragic way
the women Of the east have worked
and of the illiterate vote against
them here, it was wonderful the way
they began to sympathize and wanted
to help us. The women in Utah came
out and marched for us, carrying our
banners. / never was so thrilled"
"Spokane," the woman's party mas
cot which Miss Todd left here when
she went on her last trip, is named
after the city in which she was res
cued by the congressional union wom-
an on special train a year or so
ago. He was being carried off bv a
dog-catcher when the women adonted
him. A halo Of glory, surrounded
"Spokane's" existence. He met everv
governor in the west. His friends are
sure that nothing but political mat
ters Of importance could have taken
him from them, but they will paw 1ib-
orally for his return.

more satisfac Glory to make up the
deficit by many small contributions
rather than to seek them from a few.
He said he was confident that the APP
peal of the committee would meet

Popular subscriptions to Make Up

New York, Nov 1.-two thousand
cities and towns will be asked to sub

100000 deficit in the treasury of the
democratic national committee, &C

be obtained from wealthy persons Or

:. more practical cause for the benefit
Of humanity" the donor told Dr.
Flexner. Mr.. Rosenwald, who is
trustee of the University Of Chicago
had not made known his gift to 9TH
ers than DR.. Abraham Flexner, Fred
erick T. Gates of the foundation, and
DIR. Simon Flexner, and he was sur
prised to learn from newspaper re-
porters last night that the fact that
he had made the contribution had been
made public. He said that these
were the facts in regard to the plans
for the college:
Property will be turned over by the
university amounting to approximate
ly $9,OOO,OOO; the general education
board and Rockefeller Foundation
will give 100000, the university
will give fund Of 100000, now in
it's possession, and three gifts with
the 100000 contributed by Mr.. Ros-
enwald, leaves $2,100,000 yet to be
obtained to complete an endowment
Of s14,30O,0OO. 1t is expected, how
ever, that the endowment will be
SIS, 100000, and that it may exceed
this sum.
Previous to his departure from
Cn1CdSO MT. 6OSSuWdlO was uOCA11Cu
that he had been appointed one Of
a committee Of seven trustees Of the
university to conduct the campaign
for getting the additional funds. He
said he had not been told who the

WERE
Zone feature of this educational
enterprise, which lmpresses me
strongly" Mr.. Rosenwald said, 'has
been cited by DR.. Flexner. He feels
sure that a school of this magnitude
connected with the university would
answer every purpose for which our
students had to go to Germany IN
times past. In the course of time
American students in this new school
will be able to get everything which
had to be sought abroad In former
years In other words it is expected
to make the new school the equal Of
any similar institution in Germany OR
Austria.'
Mr.. Rosenwald is the president Of
Sears, Roebuck & Co., Of Chicago.
He was born in Springfield, Ill, and
has been in business since he was II
years old. In 1912, when he celebrat-
ed his fiftieth birthday, he gave $685.
500 to charities and educational in
stitutions. Previously he had given
100000 to obtain a branch of the
Young Mems Christian Association
for the benefit Of his employees and
the people Of the neighborhood.
