Statement FOR
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Governor Milliken was asked on
Saturday morning If he would
make a statement to the voters Of
Maine in regard to next Mondays

Governor said:
believe that it would be for
ihe welfare Of Maine to ADOPT
woman outrage. believe that
,he influence Of woman in the af-
fairs CT government would tend to
bette: cit.z1rahip. I believe that
t is not the less urgent on ac-
,oant Of the war. I hope it will
become e law,
While the question is not of
part, feel that the Rcpubli-
ca.s Of Maine are in exactly the
caa:e condition al that which
President Wilson has indicated in
respect to the Democratic party.
Il has made distinct pledges to
Woman Suffrage. I therefore join
or President in urging all the
Republicans Of Maine as he has
urged all the Democrats of Maine,
to cu2po-t, next Monday, the
cause in wi,.ch re all believe.

Plans Cause Russian Crisis

ton. The Constitutional democrats
then required essential changes in the
proposed measures, which Pieschehon-
off with the support of all the Social
list ministers refused to make. On the
Constitutional democratic ministers
announcing that they might resign,
Pieschehonoff in order to prevent a
most serious condition, resigned him
self. and persisted despite Premier
kerensky's appeal absenting himself
from the night session of the cabinet.
Crisis Becomes Aggravated
During the session the crisis was ag-
gravated by the Constitutional demo-
cratic minister declaring categorically
against the governments intention to
sanction Einnichenko. the Ukraine Sc
cessionist leader, as chief of Ukraine
cabinet. The debate took on such a
sharp character that the Socialist
ministers left the room and the ses-
sion was interrupted

Roosevelt and Mrs. Riggs Give
Cheer to Equal Suffrage Cause

United States who was not Wo-
mans sufragist, and called attention
20 the fact that for the first time
suffrage came before state with a
gUbarnatorial and Presidential en-
dorsement.
Mrs. Cats emphasis was placed
upon the fact that this was the first
election on any subject related TO
democracy since the declaration of
var. and that Maine had the initial
opportunity to tell the world whether
it had hoheld the big vision of world
wide liberty which was sweeping from
continent to continent and from sea

All countries engaged in the war

One OF Mrs. Cats most telling re-
marks. judging from the laughter with
which it was greeted by the audience,
came near the close of the address
when she said: There is not one
single man in Maine or any state who
is opposed to wOman's suffrage who
is not afraid of something"
Mrs. Gait was followed by Mrs Ar
thur T. Ballentine. who beside read
ing Mrs. Riggs telegram, spoke on
suffragc-
This suffrage question is before you. I
was advised some months ago that it
would be wise to urge suffrage on the
ground that it would mean thousands Of
dollars to Maine in advertising; that II
would advertise us better than our sum

tomorrow YOU would be advertising Maine

Using that Maine no longer leads: that as
Maine goes, the union does not go: that
Maine has become such reactionary
State that she would rather lost her share

Governor MIIiken
Right at the opening Of his remarks.
Governor Milliken. who followed Mrs.
Ballentine. showed where he stood or the
suffrage questions as we'll as on other
matters.
II there is anything despise," he said.
1t IS a disposition on the part Of per
son in public life to straddle any great
question like this"
The chief executive did no. confne his
remarks to discussion of equal suffrage.
He took up the other four constitutional
amendments that will be voted on next
Monday and expressed his sentiment in
favor of them. Particularly did he en-
dorse the amendment that would give the
governor the right to remove sherffs who
did not perform their duty, as was in
tended by the constitution, he said.
Governor Milliken paid tribute to Mrs.
Gait and Mrs. Livingston for the manner
in which the campaign had been conduct
ed in Maine and said that the same and
dignified methods used by the advocates
OF suffrage were in themselves sufficient
proof Of the capacity OF women 10 vote.
Those responsible for this campaign
need have no regrets, no matter what the
outcome may be next Monday" said the
Governor.

Portland, Me, Sept. 9.-The biz dra-
matte moments of the closing rally Of
the suffrage campaign in the audi
forum of the City hall last evening
came Via the telegraph route. The
first sensation was sprung when Mrs
Arthur T. Balentine, president OF the
Maine Woman Suffrage Association,
in the course Of her remarks, read the
following addressed TO her:
Mrs. Riggs Now Favors
The entirely new conditions that
confront the woman of today, the add
ed activities ard responsibilities that
will inevitably fall to her lot-these
arguments convince me that, even If
the vote should prove a burden to me
personally, it is my plain duty to
stand for suffrage.
KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN."
In view Of the fact that Mrs. Riggs,
or Kate Douglas Wiggin as she is bet
ter known to all Maine admirers, has
been prominently identified with the
anti-suffrage movement in the past
and had been ono of tho foremost
workers against the cause, the an
nouncement of her conversation bulk
ed big dramatically in what the even
ing had to offer.
Roosevelt Wishes Success
The second telegram that brought
an ovation from the audience was ad-
dressed to and read by Robert Treat
Whitehouse, president Of the Mems

was brief and to the point, as charac-
,eristic of its author. 1t read:

for success for suffrage Monday, and
was signed THEODORE ROOSE-
WELT"
The suffrage campaign closed IN
tvpical suffrage fashion with an open
air parade of decorated automobiles, a
band concert and plenty of ardent sui
frase speechmaking. Not the least OF
the evenings features was the pres

Over a front of nearly two miles the
Germans, Sunday morning, following
unsuccessful attacks Saturday night

and the Bots des Carriers returned 70
the fray with renewed vigor especial

French trenches were captured by the

Flanders Guns Roar
At various points on the front held
by Field Marshal Haig, the British
troops have delivered successful at
tacks, especially northwest Of St.
Quentin where German positions on a
front of several hundred yards were
captured and prisoners taken. In Flan-
ders the British guns are still roaring

Washington, Sept. 9.-The govern
ment's exposure Of how Sweden's le-
cation in Argentina acted as secret
channel of communication for Count
Luxburg. German charge in Buenos
Ayres, and the Berlin foreign office,
has created a sensation here which
absorbs the diplomatic corps and all
official quarters almost to the exclu-
sion of all other subjects connected
with the war. AS a revelation of the
Vaccinations of German diplomacy, it
takes rank second only to the cele-
brated Zimmerman note plotting war
between the United States and Japan
and Mexico.

Argentina, Sweden and Germany, with

Germany's probable action is more

the friendship of the few nations which
have not gone to war with her, she
is expected to offer amends to Ar
