SUFFRAGISTS SEE PRESIDENT AND
 EXTEND THANKS
They Ask Him to Change Attitude on Constitutional Amendment-Wilson is
 Good Listener

Washington, November 9.-Suffragists from New York, Indiana and Ohio. head ed by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, presi- dent of the National American Woman Suffrage association, and Dr. Anna How ard Shaw, honorary president, called at the White House late today and after thanking President Wilson for his sup port in the victorious New York cam paign, urged him to include in hls com- ing message to Congress a recommenda- ton for the federal constitutional wom- ans suffrage amendment.
 Although the President did not prom ise to change his position that suffrage is a question to be dealt with by the in- dividual states, the women left the White House greatly pleased with their interview. The conference lasted nearly three-uuarters of an hour. Afterward the White House authorized the state ment that the President was told of the New York campaign by the suffragists, who expressed appreciation for his at titude and that 8 general discussion of the suffrage movement followed.
 With Mrs. Catt and Mrs. Shaw was Mrs. Horace Stillwell of Anderson, Ind; Mrs. A. H. Beardsley of Elxhart Ind; Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton of Warran, o. and Miss Helen Gardner of the congression- al committee of the National Woman s Suffrage association. The party was es- corted to the White House by delega- tion of local suffragists in automobiles bedecked with yellow and white flags.
 "The President listened to all that we had to say with apparent interest and asked us many questions" said Mrs. Catt tonight ''We made clear to him that we believe 1t is the duty of the na- tion to grant the federal amendment now, in order that the women may be saved the expense and the long struggle which is involved in the state by state referenda. We are all agreed about this and anxious that the federal amendment should pass the Sixty-fifth Congress.
 I've have recognized ever since our Atlantic City convention year or more ago, when the President said he was going to fight with us, that he was at heart very sincere suffragist. The Ma tional Woman Suffrage association and its auxiliiaries have asked a great many favors of him in the past year and he has done his best to grant every one. Today we outlined to him the programme we have before us and he said he did not see any reason why We should not carry it out. We believe that he is go- ing to do everything he can to help us. 7
