Washington, Oct. 25.-Speaking as
a party leader and as an individual,
President Wilson today urged the
woman suffrage issue upon the voters
of all states.
He told a delegation of 100 mem
bers of the New York State Woman
Suffrage party that he hoped their
campaign would be successful and
urged men of all parties in New York
particularly to vote for suffrage.
Time to Act. 'a
The war, said the president, has
quickened community expressions and
made the present a good time for
states to express their sentiments at
the polls on the suffrage question He
said he would welcome these express
sions especially at this time, since in
the prosecution of the war social
foundations must be sound. One basic
principle contributing to this condi-
ton, he declared, is complete democ-
racy for women. f

The president praised the capacity,
ability, resources and vision Of New
York women in conducting the sun

Reports of Building Delay
Disturb Northclife-
Visits Denman.

Lord NorthcIiffe. head OF the Brit
fsh mission, between official calls at
the White House and interviews with
the various missions here, managed
TO find time to inquire into the ship
ping situation today. The Times edl-
tor had lunch with Chairman William
Denman, OF the shipping board, and
IN a conference that lasted over an
hour every detail Of the shipping pro-
gram vas thoroughly explained by
Mr.. Denman.
Lord Northcline was particularly
disturbed by reports which reached
him In England concerning the lack
OF progress In advancing sour ship
building program, a delay which he
felt might be fatal to the plans Of the
allies. He had not been reassured by
the reports which reached him after
his arrival. These reports concerned
the controversy between Gen. Goethais
ECstis, fathers of the wooden ship
idea" The envoy had been told that,
owing to the rejection Of the wooden
ship idea" America was delaying her
shipbuilding program by at least six
months, besides negleCting an oppor-
tunity to more than double her out
put OF tonnage during the next eight
cen months He wished to know the
reason for Americas dropping this
part OF the program, and, II in fact,
the idea had been entirely dropped.

HALT FOOD ACT.
Until JULY |.
Administration Bill, Intro
duced in Senate, Faces Bit
ter Fight from Both Sides.

Definite indications OF the coming
bitter fight on the administrator s
food control bill were given today in
the Senate.
The bill was not even reported by
the chairman of the Senate Agricult-
ural Committee, Senator Gore. He is
opposed to 1t. Senator Chamberlain,
of oregon. who ranks next to Senator
Gore on this committee, but who is
chiefly concerned with military af-
fairs, presented the measure.
He announced that the committee
had reported out the bill with neither
recommendation nor diSsapproYal. This
OF course means that the bill failed
TO gain the sanction of the committee.
Senator Chamberlain said later in the
dsy that il would be virtually i'm
possible to pass the measure before
July l..
ConstItutiOnaIIty Questioned
As soon as the bill was INTRODUCED,
Senator Hardwick. of Georgia, gave
notice that he would fight il on the
grounds Of constitutionality. His
position is that as part Of the bill not
only makes some appropriations, but
concerns 8 readtustment OF the tariF,
il should originate in the House. An
other point he makes is that the very
change in tariff schedules violates the
constitution.
Senator Reed, Of Missouri, is out
cunning for the bill. He has already
taken occasion TO attack il. even be-
fore il was ever introduced Reed
has taken Herbert c. Hoover. the
Presidential choice as food dictator
as his especial point of attack. An.
other opponent of the bill will prob.
ably be Senator Hoke Smith. OF
Georgia. Numbers of Southern Dem.

there should not be too much
Capitalization of government will

and Democratic opposition.
Delays House Action.
While the. opposition was beine
made know in the Senate, Young, OF
Texas, told House members, he would
also fight the bill. Chairman Lever
Of the AGRICULTURAL Committee, en-
deavored to have the House meet
Monday at II a. m. SO as to speed
consideration of the bill But Young
also a member of the COMMITTEES
blocked this by refusing unanimous
consent The Texan has from the
start been against any fixing OF the
prices of farm products.
