1917 Legislature will 30 to the people
al the election next fall, was introduced
to-day by Senator Whitney, Of Sara

Mrs Whitehouse has no doubt that
the present Legislature will send the
suffrage amendment to the people again
next fall
Coming to Albany this year she
said. eve feel that we are going to
work with friends. The change Of at
titude toward suffrage among the legis-
lators IS very marked
Last year. az the opening OF the
session. the general sentiment toward
suffrage was al best indifferent. Now
we know IL is friendly. The change
here reflects merely the general change
Of sentiment throughout the state. II
is really .emarksble what difference
there is. We find It everywhere.
81 think the Endorsement OF suffrage
by both parties last summer and the
personal support given to il by the
candidates for President helped enor-
mously. The interest felt in the way
the Western women voted also helped
and made people think Of il. And
that's all that is necessary. ] feel con-
fdent that our measure is going
through the Legislature quickly and
without opposition. We shall then
start our campaign OF education TO
carry the amendment ri the polls "

to lose enough 10 care.
Farmers Reused to Fury
Towniey was one OF those who at
tended the big farmers convention
which met in Bismarck in the early
spring Of 1915. The farmers of the
state were insistent then that the
Legislature take advantage OF the con-
stitutional amendment passed the wear
before and establish state-owned
terminal elevator within the state. Not
only did the Legislature refuse, but IL
repealed the small tax provided for
two years before TO raise money for
the erection Of such an elevator out
side the state.
The farmers were furious, and then
and there the non-partisan league had
it's inception. BY right Of personality
alone Townley became its head lie
refused himself to run for state ONCE
as did every other officer and organ
izer Of the league. lest the sincerity
OF his efforts DE challenged. And he
worked as only lean, wiry, stoop-
shouldered American with nook nose

But his sincerity was challenged by

In fact. Townley was the main point
Of attack. on his record as the de-
throned fax king. The league pro

Townley could stand It, as events
proved, and now he is the boss Of the
state.

Rush of Orders Keeps Gil
a Cripple in Dock for
Fifteen Months
STEEL FIRM FAILS
TO SEND SHAFTS
Next Week" Is Plea as
Parts Are Shipped to
Europe's Navies

Until the European war stops, Oncle
Sam will be able to get extra parts Tor
his little Aock OF submarines only
when the steel companies which supply
them have no foreign orders on their
hands. The officers and men OF the
Gil are witnesses to this fact, for they
are still Whiting for the six-ineh shafts
for their craft, which were ordered IN
September Of 1915.
For more than year the undersea
craft has lain. an absolutely helpless
unit Of the Atlantic feet, in the New
York Navy Yard. For more than
year the men OF the Gil. theoretically
on "sea duty have been enjoying I'M
limited leave, and for more than a
year. officers Of the yard have been
exhausting all their powers of persua-
sion and threat TO get shafts out Of
the steel company.
Delay After Delay
There is no sign Of them yet, but
the company ia still promising. 1t has
been doing that since the order was
received.
At Arst it was declared that the
parts would be ready in two months.
After six months had passed the
company insisted that next month"
would find the shafts in the navy yard.
But next month didn't. and when Off
GERS exhausted their vocabularies in
one final letter to the company. the
latter unbent still further and vowed
that he order would be filled next
week" That was several months ago.
When the G-1 was put into commits
sion IL was found that her engines
Jared and wracked her. A board OF
officers decided that the fiYe-inch
shafts used in her construction we're
too small. Accordingly they were re-
moved and placed in smaller sub
mersible, and the CT began her long
wait for the new ones.
A few weeks ago Lieutenant Ernest
McWhorter. submarine expert Of the
ward. prowled about in his repair room
until he found a pair of shafts. they
were fve-inch ones exactly the same
kind that had been taken out OF the
G-I fifteen months before-but officers
feared that II the craft remained in
the yard much longer she would grow
fast TO the ot OK
Installation Completed
Last night the work of installation
wss completed. and the G-l IL once
more able 10 put out to sea. But she
is in exactly the same condition that
she was when her SHIFTS were con-
demned more than a year ago; except,
of course, that no vessel IL improved
b. almost a year and half Of idleness.
The CT will leave next week with
the bsttleship hotilla.
Officers OF the navy yard know what
has caused the delay. This IS, they
saw. only one example Of how the steel
companies lave regarded government
orders since the outbreak OF the war
There have been many others.
There IS perfectly good reason for
thi,-from the steel makers point OF
view" one Of the navy men said yes
terday. Governments at war pay
more for munitions than nations at
peace. And as long as company can
get a higher Price for IS goods. why
worry about SC small a matter As the
needs Of the United States navy?"

Suffragists Plan Special
Fight for Federal Vote

Washington. Jan. 3.-A bill for Presi-
dental suffrage will be introduced in
practically every state legislature in
session this winter. The Illinois act,
which granted the franchise to women
i'm Presidential and municipal cleo
tions, will be used as a model. In
some states local peculiarities may re-
qure that the model act be slightly
amended.
In those commonwealths where ref
brenda on suffrage are imminent the
Presidential suffrage bill will give way
TO the more immediate issue.

Shipment.

Near riots resulted in the
wholesale district today when
retail Ngroeers beseiged the
wholesale markets 10 obtain
their allotments of sugar. A
shipment of 10000 pounds in
bags of 100 pounds each was
received this morning by Sus-
man and Feuer and policemen
were called to restore order as
the sgrocerymen rushed in to
get their supplies.
The sugar situation is greatly re-
lieved, however, and small shipments
are being received daily. On Friday
and Saturday nearly 1,O08 barrels
were received, but were quickly dis
tributed. Another shipment is ex-
pected today and it is probable that
several hundred barrels will be re-
ceived tomorrow.
was the temporary limit set today by
the wholesalers.
Despite the governments appeal to
use more corn meal and rye, instead
of wheat, 1t is reported by wholesal-
-ers today there is a shortage of these
grains. At present the situation is
not serious as there Is enough on
hand to supply the demand and there
is no indication that further stocks
cannot be obtained.

LAW HAS Teeth
TO ACT AGAINST
SUGAR H0LD-UPS

Hartford, Nov. 19-Immediate en-
forcement of the ruling of the United
States Food Administrator against
combination sales" will begin in
Connecticut This will be Based on
the kilograms received Saturday by
Robert Scovi1le, the state food ad-
ministrator, and which was aimed
to reach sugar profiteers.
Complaints, charging hold-up were
aimed at the small dealers who did
not seem to come under the federal
law in that they do not do a business
of 100000 year or more and so
do not require license from WASH
ington.
So many were these complaints
against merchants who were selling
sugar to preferred customers, who
were themselves willing to buy other
articles, that the legal experts got
busy and read the law up to the
point where they felt that compul-
sorry purchasing of unasked for food
stuffs might possibly be a wasteful
practice and as such forbidden by
law.
The State Food Administrators of.
fee has been keeping careful re-
cord of all details of alleged hold-upa
reported last week and by authority
of the telegram received Saturday
night it will proceed to enforce the
law. Combination sales are for.
hidden except that a dealer may sell
a pound of sugar with two pounds Of
CORN meal. There is no other exceps
ton.

HOLLAND ATTACKS Levitt
FOR MISREPRESENTATION: !:
LATTER TALKS OF BOYCOTT.

Joseph M. Holland, who is about
to open an employment agency to be
known as the Employers Consulting
Bureau in this city and who is about
to resign from the u. M. C. Co. and
Remington Arms, plants Of which he
tendent In a statement to The Farmer
this morning denied the allegations
of Samuel Levitt Of the Machinists'
union. Levitt claimed the bureau
would initiate against union labor
and interfere with strikes.
Characterizing Levit's statements
as false, Holland heatedly asserted:
'I deeply resent this campaign Of
Misrepresentation wilfu1ly instituted
by this man Levitt
Coincident. with Hollands state
ment it was learned that Levitt in.
tends to introduce at the meeting OF
the local Machinists' union tomorrow
night resolutions which in substance
constitute a boycott of the bureau.
The resolutions if passed will result
in expelling from the union any
worker who applies for or accepts a
position through the offices of the
bureau.
The statement regarding the reso-
lutions was made this morning by
Levitt, business agent Of the machin-
lists union.
According to Holland, who is to head
the new employment agency, he will
not in any way interfere with labor
unrest or disturbance. 1t will be the
aim of the new, organization to SIM
ply assist the manufacturers in maxi
ing matters more pleasant for the
workman and incidentally make the
workman satisfied with his position.
The question of whether or not a
man Is a member OF a union will not
be asked Of any man applying for
work through the new employment
agency. It will be q matter only a
