Norman de r. Whitehouse. state
chairman, says she does not want TO
run again for Office, and the state Of
hcials say they won't take mo" for

they did from the voters.
The question OF who will be presi-
dent of the state suffrage forces for
the coming year overshadowed every
other issue at the headquarters yester-
day, except that CT getting out tickets
for the jubilee meeting at the Metro
politan Opera House on Tuesday. 1t
seemed to the agitated Mrs. John
Blair, who was sorting tickets yester-
aay, that everybody in the state, both
anti-suffragists and suffragists. wanted
10 attend the meeting.
"Who is your candidate for state

"Six in the fourth row." was all she

Suffragiists Want Mrs. Whitehouse
To Stay at Head Of State Body
Organized Women Oppose Retirement of Chairman at End
of Year, Although She Expressed Desire to
Step Down When Campaign Was Over

slider anybody else while there is a
chance of Mrs. Whitehouse. IL is ab-
soutely untrue that she has resigned.
Her term of Office comes 20 an end
with the end Of the suffrage year. and
il would be necessary in any case 10
have an election of officers at our
coming convention. The nominating
committee has made no selection as
yet. and will make none until the con-
vention begins"
While many Of her most loyal sup
porters around headquarters denied
yesterday that Mrs. Whitehouse had
any intention of resigning, she her
self admitted last night that she had
often expressed desire TO retire
from Office when the campaign was
over. '-'''
GAS long as there was work to do
in New York State there could be no
question of Mrs. Warehouses; resign
ing" said Mrs. Helen S. Leavitt, of AL
bany, "but now that the victory is
won think it would be cruel Of US
to make her stay chained to this desk
for another year. She is very tired,
and she wants to stay at home and de-
vote herself to her little daughter"
Others Mentioned for Place
Many names have been discussed as
possible successors TO Mrs. White
house, among them all the officers Of
the association. A new name which
came up yesterday was that of Mrs.
William Beiknap, of Oscawana, who
had charge of the military census in
Westchester County. 1t was the fine
work done by the women's census COM
mittee that impressed the Westchester
County politicians, and was mainly re-
sponsible for the large vote given
suffrage there.

suspected individuals, was sent to Ma
jor General Mccain.
Not few of the suspects are be-
lieved to be German spies. Others are
Of German birth whose Americanism is
questioned. In the case of the latter
internment is suggested by their COM
mandino officers. In the cases of spy
suspects the final disposition is left 10
the authorities at Washington.
Army officers in reports made to the
authorities at Washington havt stated
that 1t was an easy matter for spies to
get into the service through the Sc
lective draft and by making untruthful
statements to recruiting officers. In
one of these reports the statement was
made that the army was honeycombed
with spies.
In an official report to Congress on
the enemy alien menace last September
the following paragraph occurred:
There is no question but that nu-
merous German agents are TO be found
o. in the regular and National armies
They will have first hand knowledge Of
the strength. course of training, equip
ment, progress and morale Of the differ
ent units"
This report was submitted to the
Conference Committee of Congress on
September 20. when the proposition for
a censorship of mails and foreign
cables was before the House.
This work of wedding out the spies
and the disloyal element was not con-
fined to the sixteen environments where
the National Army is training. The
various training camps for officers have
also been subjected to rigid investiga-
ton.
1t is said the cantonments in the
East have yielded the largest proper
ton of suspects. Camp Upton. at zap
hank, L. l.; Camp Dix, at Wrightstown,
n. j., and Camp Devens. at Aver, Mass,
are said to have sent in lists contain
ing upward of 200 names each of sus-
pected men.

ministrator, announced yesterday the

STRING EVENTS AHEAD

If we are looking for signs pressaging stirring events ahead for the crowned heads of Europe: all we need to do is to look at Russia. Just few days ago that country was struck the biggest blow in the history of the world, everything con- ed to make the rest of the world believe his sidered. The ruler of that country had succeed people would forever remain under the yoke of imperialism yet it becomes a republic overnight and the great Russian ruler was unceremoniously taken down from his majestic position. The blow was not only tremendous but was also as noiseless as the foot of time Now, according to reports the strikers of that blow are appealing to those who have been and are still suffering under the same form of government to drop their load and enjoy freedom. From that, the pre- diction that both Germany and Austria will fol low the example within the next few weeks or maybe days does not seem overdrawn and to be in turn followed by others until the world will become free from crowned heads. Every coun- try shall be governed by the consent of the gov erned and not by divine @ authority assumed to be conferred upon weddings or vicious heads. God speed the day when those rulers shall be ruled by those who have the inherent right to rule----by the people.

 Consequently you're not being trusted with important matters You aren't fit to handle them.
 Responsibility requires steady nerves and sound con stitutions You can't control yourself it would be manfesy folly to place vital affairs in your charge
 We have quarrels with your morals, per sewe are interested in solely to the extent that they affect your stability: insist that you can't do at night and do right by day.
