Hillquit Urges
Votes for Women

Morris Hillquit. Socialist candidate
for Mayor, has called on his rivals in
the Mayoralty race to sink political
differences to the extent of throwing
their combined strength to woman suf-
frage. In a letter, addressed 10 Mayor
Mitchell, Judge Hylan and Mr.. Bennett,
Mr.. Hillquit yesterday asked them TO
unite in making special appeal to
the voters TO pass the constitutional!
amendment extending the suffrage 10
women.
Declaring that universal suffrage IS
not a mere privilege and that opposl-
ton to il as a foundation OF selt-gov-
eminent is medieval. he urges that
each candidate make a special appeal
to mis- own following which will result
in the passage of the measure.
Mr.. Hllquit addressed meeting OF
about 500 persons at the Central
Branch Y. VI. c. A. in Brooklyn last
night. He dwelt on the issues OF pa
triotism, food cost and taxation. lie
expressed the belief that practically all
New Workers were patriots, and that i
the Kaiser ran for Mayor ne would
get fewer votes than the Prohibition
candidate.
Discussing the food and taxation
problems, Mr.. Hillquit pointed out the
difficulty for the average man 70 1--we
decently under present economic con-
ditions.
At Socialist headquarters It is con-
tended that many clergymen and col
lege professors who do not wish their
names made public are supporting MI
HAlauit. The Rev. Norman VI. Thomas,
pastor of the East Harlem Church and
chairman Of the American parish OF
Presbyterian churches on the East side,
has pledged his support because he
wants an economic reorganization and
end Of the war. and because OF the sc-
tons of the Postmaster General IN
acting a. a Judge Of what people should
read.

O'Leary and Hale Both
Deny That Exposures
Implicate Them in Plots

Both jeremiah A. OLeary and Will
lam Bayard Hale were quick to deny
yesterday that the new disclosures by
Secretary Lansing in any way impli-
Gated them in German plots.
When Mr.. OLeary read the German
note which mentioned him as one who
could give particulars" for carrying
on sabotage in American munition fac
tories he made two moves He issued
a statement from his Office at the
American Truth Society, 2l0 Fifth Ave
nue., asserting that he was wholly ig-
norant of any sabotage plans. Then
he sent a telegram 10 Secretary Lam
sing, branding the action of the State
Department a. malicious and menda-
cious.'
O'Leary's Telegram
The Telegram says:
Malicious and mendacious are the
hideous suggestions YOU are striving TO
create in the public mind in publishing
the alleged Zimmerman note. Whether
it was forged by British agents or
whether IT is genuine, you must know
the document has no standing in any
court Since it is no proof, IT estab-
fishes nothing.

ment of Justice can now trade my lib

Cropsey, as Bennett
Supporter, Adds to
Friction in Kings Co.

Further friction developed yesterday
in the ranks of the Kings County Re
publican organization, following the
announcement of some of the support
ers Of William NJ. Bennett, the Repub-
lican primary nominee for Mayor, OF
the plans for Bennett mass meeting
at the Academy of Music Monday night
at which Justice James c. Cropsey
would preside. Although 10 contirma-
ton OF the announcement was obtained
from Justice Cropsey, the Bennett
campaign managers were emphatic in
declaring that he would preside.
Justice Cropsey has not figured in
the complicated Brooklyn situation
since he withdrew as a proposed can
ddate in the Republican primaries
against Mayor Mitchell. There had
been no intima,ion that ne intended
70 enter the campaign and work for
Bennett and against Mayor Mitchell.
managers was a surprise even TO Coun-
y Leader Livingston and other Brook
Ign leaders who have Individually de-
clared FOR Bennett.
Mr.. Livingston explained that the
proposed mass meeting would be neld
under the auspices OF the Bennett cam
paign committee and not undar the d.
rection of the Kings County Repub.
lean organization.
The Livingston followers in the
Kings County committee have evident
ly failed in their efforts 10 have a res
olution passed indors.ng Bennett a the
next meeting of the committee, which
had been announced for October 16.
The Calder Kracke group of leaders.
who favor Mayor Mitchell, have evil
IDENTIFY succeeded in "deferring" the
meeting of the county committee and
avoiding a wide-open split in the
Brooklyn organization.

Hylan Pictures
Cleveland as His
Mayoralty Model
Compares Own Speeches
With Opponents Loose
Talk"

The Cleveland Democracy, an orgar-
izauon largely owned and wholly
operated by County Clerk Schneider,
gave dinner in the grand ball room
Of the Hotel Astor last night for John
+. Hylan. Charles L. Craig, Sheriff Al
Smith and other candidates on the
Tammany ticket.
AS usual Judge Hylan. after an ap,
peal for subscriptions to the Liberty
Loan, again carefully and haltingly
read his speech.
My opponents" said he, ARE very
mucn exercised over the fact that so
lar in this campaign I have read my
speeches. For their information |
want TO say here that they have a long
period of worry ahead of them, for
intend to continue reading my
speeches.
Il have not found that the people re-
gard loose talking or oratorical genius
as a necessary qualification for the
Office Of Mayor.
81 am giving careful thought and
careful consideration TO everything
that l have to say. ! am making no
charge against my opponent that l am
not able 10 substantiate. ! make no
statement that | do not know 10 be an
undisputed fact. If ]. am elected Mayor
| shall give the same thought and con-
sideration TO my acts that | am now
giving to my utterances.
Leaves it to the People
Il leave it to the people TO decide
whether they want a careful, pains
taking man for Mayor or whether they
want q loose-tongued, Incorporate in
dividual." He continued:
I've are here tonight as the guests
Of an organization of independent men
who take their democracy from the
precepts of Grover Cleveland.
cleveland would not have prostitut--
ed and devitalized our public schools
and turned them from the purposes for
which they were intended. He would
not have destroyed that educational
principal which is the basis of Ameri-
can equality of opportunity. He would
not have put the children on half ra-
tions Of education. He would not have
denied the children of the toilinG
masses, who are the real supporters OF
government, an education TO help then
take their places in the world as free
and Independent citizens Of grea'
republic.
"Gr Cleveland never would have
bartered away the city's property to en-
rich de1igning spectators and intimate
friend
"No. Grover Cleveland never would
have wrapped the American flag arounr
himself and proclaimed to the worlt
that he was the one and only simon
pure patriot in this country-the only
one who was willing 10 uphold the flag
Cleveland Would Not Insinuate
He would not have made insinua
tons and inuendoes that he could no
substantiate in an attempt TO black
guard and defame those who were hon
estly opposed to him. He would no
have made accusations without founda
ton. lie never would have threatened
his fellow citizens that if they did no
support him and vote for him he would
brand them TO the world as traitors Z
their country and TO their flag.
"No, Grover Cleveland would have
done none Of these things, because h
was a real man, a true Democrat;
man who put his country first; a mar
who recognized the rights of other
and acknowledged their claims; a mai
who was a genuine American through
and through"

DAISIES
BY L. "A. BENNINGTON.

No flower In all the garden series Is
more beloved than the star-eyed daisy.
or marguerite. And, perhaps no flower
has undergone a more decided i'm
provement han this same flower, which
fills the meadow spaces with its nod
ding white and In better soil looks
stately from the garden path.
The daisy should have a place In the
garden. They make delightful bor-
ders to beds Of taller growing ANIMALS
and can be used very effectively in
beds Of spring blooming bulbs.
Daisies may be sown In March, and
later for succession, In shallow boxes
Of light, rich soil. Cover the seed TO
about three times their w thickness
and press the soil firmly over them.
Keep the box In II warm window,
greenhouse or hotbed.
Transplant TO new boxes and set out
in the open ground when danger from
frost Is past. Daisies can be own In
beds outside in August or September.
They must be protected with straw or
litter through the winter and trans
planted TO their permanent position In
the spring.
The South African orange daisy has
duced n few years g and has been
made much of ut the flower shows and
is used largely on big estates. 1t Is
excellent for borders and as a pot
Dlant.

and new ones started.
Do not let the geranlums get leggy.
Pinch into shape.
Pinch out all buds from plants in

Late started plants are not satisfac-
tory. Begin now.
Get your soil, sand. and
potting materials together.
Clean. scour, SUI. and put In place
the pots for winter. Have every YES
Sci clean.
Use charcoal in your drainage.
Dead Goals from wood ashes are as
good as any.
Repot all plants needing 1t, cutting
back severely. Don't try to keep
everything.
Try TO have your plants Mt their

Get Seeding primroses from the
florist now. Keep them growing and

The p~eristrophe v%ariegata Is a good

spring months to do the work.
When evergreens are planted late
they should he thoroughly watered and
II dust mulch maintained around the
roots until winter sets In.
II Is difficult to tell by the looks OF
the trees whether they survive during
the late summer or not, as very often
they retain their verdure some time
after they are dead.
In the spring, however, trees that die
turn brown within two or three weeks.
The better time to plant evergreens, Is,

see no reason why fall planting should

GREENS

early In the spring just when the new

Some planting Is done in August, but

son can make his trees grow when
