After Mr.. Baker had explained the
object of the call, each member told
the President OF the situation in his
state. One said the Presidents ad-
vice would aid him in determining
the question, and that many other
members were similarly situated.
Glad of Opportunity.
The President is said to have re-
piled that while he felt II was not
proper to send for members or to
volunteer his advice, he was glad OF
the opportunity that the visit Of the
delegation gave him. He indicated
that he had not felt at liberty to go
beyond the party platform which had
declared woman suffrage to be. q
state issue, until changed conditions
made it necessary.
Representative Taylor spoke of the
king OF Belgium's advocacy of wo-
man suffrage, of how England had
pledged to it and probably France.
The President said the governor gen.
eral OF Canada, who had luncheon
with him yesterday, told him Canada
was going to have woman suffrage.
Any member Of congress opposed
to woman suffrage under any cir
cumstances, the President said,
ought not to vote other than his con-
victions, but his own opinion was
that this was the time to vote for the
amendment.
Suffrage leaders, elated over the
Presidents action, issued state
ments last night by the dozen. Mrs.
G. G. Gait. president OF the National
American Woman Suffrage associa-
ton, said:
1--WE are thrilled by the Presidents
statement. Most Of all do we APP
preciate his setting forth that the
passage Of the amendment Is an act
OF right and justice at this time to
the women OF this country and OF
the world. The Presidents statement
is the most important he has vet
made on the suffrage question and
coming when il does, ranks as a war
utterance with the statement OF
Premier Lloyd George, Mr.. Asuuith
and the premier Of Canada on this
same subject"
