SOCIALISTS MAKE
APPEAL FOR SUPPORT
Of GOVERNMENT

New York, Sept. ALL Socialists in the
United States, organized and morgan
tied, were urged to put all their energy,
strength, ardor and enthusiasm at the
disposal of the government so that the
war may be carried to rapid and vcto-
rious conclusion, in statement issued
by Socialist delegates to the Minneap polls
conference of the American Alliance for
Labor and Democracy on their return
here tonight.
we are convinced the statement
said. that the war in which the United
States is engaged is as just war as was
ever waged by a liberty-loving people
against ruthless aggression and oppres-
sive tyranny. We believe that the cause
of Socialism, of industrial democracy. or
the progress of the worlds workers to-
ward a better and nobler life. is indis-
solubly bound up with the cause of the
United States and its allied democracies.
We believe that the cause .of internation-
alism, the longing Of mankind for lasting
peace and for justice and honor among
the nations of the earth. depends upon the
victory Of the United States and its allied
democracies over Germany and its allied
autocracies."

ROOSEVELT DECLARES
For EQUAL SUFFRAGE

Oyster Bay, \. Y, Sept. 9.-Women
are entitled to the ballot as a right
and not as a favor. Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt told a gathering of about
500 suffra gists and their friends who
motored to his home at Sycamore Hill
this afternoon. He declared himself
most emphatically in favor Of woman
suffrage and was heartily applauded
when he said:
ION the whole the citizen to whom
will pay the greatest Difference as
doing the most indispensable of all
duties is the mother. I will. put her
ahead of every other human being"
ITO deny the mother the vote seems
to me something 50 preposterous that
our descendants will fail to UNDER
stand how we could call ourselves
self-governing ard democratic and yet
deny it.
People have said 10 me that we
must not have women vote because
they would all be pacifists. The Lord
knows I despise pacifist. and I have
made no special effort to dissemble
nv feelings about that. But I have
failed to notice that among them the
shrinking sisterhood Of pacifsts out
numbers the bleating brotherhood of
pacifsts."

q furious denunciation Of America in
which the alleged demand is alluded TO
AS the climax of the arrogant inso-
lence Of the American government

by an emphatic hands off from the
Reichstag."
