LAUREL's BIG OPENING.
Unusually Large Crowd and Good
Contests Feature First Day.

The winning of five favorites, the
equaling of one record and the drive
for the fourth liberty loan featured
Laurers opening yesterday before the
largest crowd in the history of the
plant on a first afternoon.
The day was made to order for the
sport, and Baltimoreans and Washing
tonians were on hand early. All trains
were crowded and hundreds of autos
were parked on the grounds. So large
was the crowd that all the programs
4,000-were sold before the crowd from,
Baltimore arrived.
The management has made i'm
provements from year to year, and this
fall the plant looks prettier than ever.
This is especially true of the club
house and its surroundings. That the
track is fast was shown when Sunny
Slope equaled the mark for the mile
and Smart Money came within a fifth
of a second of the record for the mile
and seventy yards.

Mr.. Wilson's Strength Shown.

But the cloakroom talk usually reveals
the differences between sincerity and in
sincerity, and the democrats who refused

thought they had more to gain in their
constituencies than lose. But if the
strength of the President can be judged
| by what he did in Mississippi, South
| Carolina and Georgia it will not be long
before many of the twenty democrats

Z. war measure will not be seen in the Sem

Fight Is Not Over Yet.

But the fight for suffrage isn't over.
It has just begun. The President
will not stay beaten. The leaders of
the National American Woman Suf-
woman's party win not stay beaten.
They are not discouraged. They are
setting out today to get those two
votes necessary to win. They have
chance Of getting them from New
Hampshire and New Jersey.
The republican candidates for the Sen
ate in New Hampshire is for suffrage.
He is said to be certain of election.
He would take his seat next month.
In New Jersey, Senator Baird, repub-
lican, is running to succeed himself
for the short term that expires next
March. He has just Eepudiated his
own statement that he would sup
ures. He has not lived up to the an
nouncement of Gov. Edge that in ap-
pointing Senator Baird he was APP
pointing a man who would support
the Presidents war measures.
Against Baird for the short term,
Charles O'Connor Hennessy is running
on the democratic ticket. He is for
of New Jersey and New Hampshire
will add the two votes needed. and
there is a chance of getting a vote in
South Carolina from the new sena-
tor who succeeds the late lamented
Benet, who helped to defeat the amend
ment by an eleventh-hour desertion.
So far as campaign material goes
the southern democrats have handed
the republican managers piles of it.
They were chuckling over the situa-
ton today. What better proof, they
say, of southern domination, of south
ern handicap to the progressive war
measures of President Wilson? The
interesting thing to watch now is
whether President Wilson can appeal
to the country for a democratic Con-
gress when so many men in his own
party have refused to work with their
leader. f-r.

In all instances the heads of the de-

The answers of the officials were
sent in to the President today by his
private secretary, Mr.. Tumulty, for
consideration and final action.
Fuel Administrator Garfield has in
formed the President that it was

bureau at this time. Food Admins

Flying squadrons of policemen have

liams of the fourth precinct to wage
war on bootleggers. persons armed

on street corners and cause all kinds
of trouble, and lawbreakers generally.
Members of the squadrons will start
on the crusade tonight, some in auto
mobiles with generous supplies of am
munition and others on foot. They
will wear civilian clothes.
Police officials deemed such a cru
SADIE necessary because of the recent
bootlegging activities and the num-
erous shootings that have occurred
It is said the police officials have the
assurance that the courts will lend a
hearty cooperation in the crusade,
the officials believing that maximum
sentences and prompt trials Of the
cases will do much good.
1t is not the intention to modest
law-abiding people. 1t is the iEten-

Held as Poor Excuse.

Some southern senators argued that
woman suffrage would mean the en-
reimbursement of the negro women of
the south. Entirely apart from the
merits of the question of how the
colored males of the south are at
present prevented from voting, every
body knows that the southern whites
would have as effectively denied the
vote to the feminine members OF the
negro population.
BasicaHy there were, however, other
influences involved in the opposition
to suffrage Many of the men who
are against the prohibition of the
liquor traffic fought suffrage on the
theory that the women would help
kill the saloon. But many senator's
! from New England and other eastern
-, states fought suffrage because they
! knew they never could be continued
in power by the liberal celebrates
that would arise were women to be
given the ballot.
BY and large the vote in the Senate
against suffrage was the vote OF selfish
men interested in perpetuating them
selves and their system; q more inter-
ested in that than in following the
leadership OF man of the world pres
tige of Woodrow Wilson; far more in
terested in their own fortunes than i'll
the fortunes of America in the eyes of
democratic peoples. There were. indeed,
many who voted against suffrage after a
careful study and canvass Of the Situa-
ton. Senator Borah was such a man.

DEFEAT
PAINS PRESIDENT.
Particularly chagrined at 20
Democrats Who Regulated
His Leadership.
WILL NOT DROP FIGHT
BY DAVID LAWRENCE

| Copyright, 1913, by n. 7. Evening Post, Inc.)
President Wilson feels very keenly
disappointed that the Senate of the
United States is not yet progressive
| enough to make America a complete
democracy. But he feels particularly
chagrined that twenty members of
the democratic party, which he has
! thus far led so successfully. should
! have deserted him-should, in effect,
! have repudiated his leadership and
should have been the means of
emphasizing to the world that the
President of the United States can
not command two-thirds vote on a
question so vitality related to the war
aims of America.
Except that Senator Martin of Ken
lucky was held in line by the Presi-
dents appeal, not a single vote was
won by Mr.. Wilson's address. But
while the President did not get votes
in the Senate, his feeling is that he
won the approval of the country and
that public opinion will not long sus-
tain in office the men who opposed
woman suffrage.
31SS1ucuI GAd1u1AcS AA4SIs
The President today examined the
list of twenty democrats who declined
to follow his leadership after he had
asked for their support as vital to
the effective conduct of the war. 1t
was the first time that the Senate had
refused to grant him the measures he
has asked for to win the war. And
while the President may have been a
lukewarm supporter of suffrage be-
fore the war, the war has made of
him an ardent champion Of the cause.
Senators argued that it wasn't a
war measure because the right to vote
could not possibly be exercised before
several years had passed in getting
ratification by the states. This argu-
ment is just as absurd as the claim
that the treaty of peace will imme-
diateiy prove panacea for all the
internal and external aspirations of
peoples the world over. 1t was with
the idea of promising and guarantee
iEg equal suffrage in wartime that
the president espoused the cause SO
warmly ct this time. 1t was to make
great war which had taken such pain
full sacrifices from them would at least
confer upon America justice not NTH
It mattered little that for few
years the women could not vote in
| ali states. 1t mattered a great deal
to the President that after forty
year fight the women of America
should be guaranteed the right to
vote. That was why he urged it on
the ground of it's Importance to the
morale Of the nation. And that was
entirely Irrespective of the Presidents
desire to prove to the other nations
of the world that in asking them to
give their peoples an opportunity to
have a voice in their own government
it should not be possible to point the
finger of hypocrisy and scorn at
Americas professions when in fact
half of the electorate is prohibited
from exercising an inherent right Of
democracy itself.
