Suffrage Adds
Life to Women's
Political Clubs
Democratic and Republi-
can Organizations Expect
Many New Members
By BRIGGS

Although Miss Mary Garrett Kay and
the other leaders of the woman suf-
frage organizations are advising women
voters not to align themselves with po-
litical organizations, their advice will
not be needed by the already existing
women's political clubs in the city.
The Women's Democratic Club Of
New York City, for example, with a
membership of two hundred, will begin
operations soon to boost that number
20 one thousand.
Were Democrats first of ALL" said
Mrs. John S. Crosby. founder and hon
orary president of the club yesterday,
"and we're going to work for the Demo
cratic party. Well begin actively about
December IT,
Mrs. Crosby said that the club has
had many applications for membership
during the one week since election. She
expects the club TO be an active politi-
cal factor in a few months.
The Women's Republican Club Of
New York City took on new lease
of life yesterday and began TO talk
of the day when it would be large and
influential like the Mems Republican
Club. Mrs. Charles 5. Whitman and
Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes are mem
bers OF the club. Invitations will be
sent at once TO the wives OF members
of the Union League Club, the Repub-
lican Club and other prominent Re
publicans. The membership is now
one hundred and fifteen. but Mrs.
James Griswold Wentz, president of
the club. said yesterday at the regular
monthly meeting at Delmonico's that
she expected TO have five hundred
members before spring.
Mrs. Hughes and Miss Mabel Mckin-
ley, the niece of President Mckinley,
were the guests of honor at the
luncheon yesterday, at which the speak
ers were Captain Leslie Vickers and
Miss Helen G. Smith, who worked with
the Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton in Russia last summer.
Mrs. Wentz said the Republican
women would at once organize through
out the state, to enlarge their member
ship and educate the uninterested
women voters in political affairs. Miss
Helen Varick Boswell. president Of the
state organization, is attending the
Federation of Women's Clubs in AL
bany.

z Women May Run Here for
Congress Under Suffrage
Mrs Daniel Appleton Palmer and Miss Lucy Burns, Who
Is Now in Occoquan JAIL May Seek Seats in
House Of Representatives

dorsing the non-partisan attitude OF
the suffrage organization.
II has been an accepted fact from
the beginning that Hiss Hay you'd not
be able 20 control the possible political
ambitions of women outside The SUI
frsge organization.
Would Need Suffragists' Support
Whether or not Mrs. Palmer would
have the support of the suffrage party
in running on a non-partisan platform
is one of the riddles which cannot be
answered now. 1t is extremely doubt
ful if she could be elected without the
support OF the suirragists as whole.
The vacant Office, however. is Demo
cratic, and If she ran it would be pre-
sumably as Democrat. In that case
she could not command mon bipartisan
suffrage following.
Miss Burns's boom is even less pro-
nounced, as she knows nothing about
il. Miss Burns went TO Washington
Saturday to join the last picket line
and get in Jail with her chum. Miss
Alice Paul, on the principle Of "the
more the worse" for the officials.
When she comes out OF jail she will
be met by a group of supporters, who
will invite her 10 carry the fight for
the Federal amendment away from the
White House gates to the floor of Con-
gress.
"There isn't a man in this country
who knows any more about the work
ings of Congress than Lucy Burns
does" said Miss Elsie Hill. daughter of
the late Congressman Hill. Of Connec-
ticut. AZ the picket headquarters. 13
East Forty-frst Street, yesterday. Her
Jail sentence would be the best cam

RALEIGH, n. c., Nov. 13.-S. s. Nc
Clure, New York editor, may have the
500 which the University of North
Carolina agreed to pay him for his
lecture "Road to Peace" but he will
not be allowed TO deliver it Thursday
evening or this week or any other
time.
This was determined to-day after
Governor Bickert, trustee Of the uni
versity, and protesting citizens had in
quired into the character Of McClure's
speeches.
1t was declared McClures lecture

Obstacles to peace and leans strongly

Two immature booms for Congress
women have developed as the fruit OF
the victory Of woman suffrage in New
York State. Mrs. Daniel Appleton Pal
mer, chairman of The Bronx branch Of
the Woman's Suffrage Party, is one
whose name is mentioned in connection
with Congress, and the other is Miss
Lucy Burns, of srooklyn. now in the
Occoauan Jail with other White House
pickets.
Mrs. Palmer refused last night
either to confirm or deny the story
that she was to be a candidate for Con
gress from The Bronx to fill the place
left vacant by the resignation Of
Henry Bruckner, who becomes Bor-
ough President Of that borough in
January.
Suffrage Headquarters Amazed
At suffrage headquarters the mere
hint of Mrs. Palmers' possible political
ambitions caused CONSERVATION. mas
much as all members of the party or
ganization are supposed to be loyal to
the decree of Boss Mary Garrett Hay
that the women shall remain non-par-
tisan.
IF Mrs. Palmer runs for Congress
/ should think her resignation from the
party would be in order" said Mrs.
Oreola Haskell. who is sitting on the
lid" in the absence OF Miss Hay at the
women's club convention in Albany.
Mrs Palmer attended the meeting Of
the party chiefs Monday morning, and

New York Call
Ordered Barred
From the Mails
Socialist Newspaper Denied
Postal Privilege by Wash
ington Ruling

"The New York Call" the largest
Socialist daily newspaper in the United
States. was served with n notice by
Postmaster Patten, at $3.50 o'clock last
night. that its second-class mailing
privileges had been revoked, TO taSa
effect Immediately.
The action was ordered by Postmaster
General Burleson. under the espionage
law. About a month ago the publishers
Of "The Call" were cited to appear in
Washington to show cause Why the
newspaper should not be denied the
use of the mails. The citation set fort1
numerous editorials published in "TEe
Call" and alleged that they tended
TO obstruct the prosecution of the war
and the enforcement Of the ccnscrip-
ton law.
Denied Violation of Law
"The Call" in reply, denied that it
had advocated the violation of any law,
but simply had exercised its constitu-
CiOnal right to crltlciSe the government
and 10 urge the repeal of the conscrip-
ton law. The paper began immediate
ly the republication Of all the editorials
objected TO by the government on the
plea that it was showing the public that
il had violated no law.
Interest in "The Calls fight to re-
tain its mailing privilege was intensi-
fed by the fact that it was made an
issue in the mayoralty campaign. Nor
ris Hillquit, the Socialist candidate
for Mayor. championed the cause Of
the paper, declaring that if the govern
ment used repressive measures against
"the greatest and bravest Socialist or
gan in this country, it would do so
Without sanction of law" This dec
laration by Mr.. Hillquit on one oc-
casion brought sympathetic. cheers
from $4,000 persons gathered in Madi-
son Square Garden.
Says Ban Aids Circulation
Charles ". Erwin, managing editor Of
"The Call" said last night that IN spite
of "the arbitrary and autocratic action
of the Postoffice Department" the out
of-town circulation of the newspaper
would be continued through the first
class mail.
