National woman's Party Salts
fled With Both Phipps
and Waterman
KNOW THEIR FRIENDS

The women of Colorado and Of the
nation are disguised with the pretenses
of the Democratic party in behalf OF
woman suffrage and will ally them
selves with the party of constructive
progress and genuine reform, the party
of Lincoln, Grant, Mckinley, Taft and
Roosevelt.
The National Woman Is Party, through
Mrs. Bertha W. Fowler of Colorado
Springs, chairman of the Colorado
branch organization, has announced
that Lawrence C. Phipps is believer
in national woman suffrage.
In a letter sent to Mrs. Fowler,
which she has made public, Mr.. Phipps
defined his position as follows:
"I am unqualifiedly in favor of tho
immediate passage of the Susan B. An
thony amendment and of its prompt
ratification by the states.
"In the event of my election to the
United States senate and should this
measure be still pending, shall do all
in my power to bring about its passage.
"Where there has been question i'll
the mind of anyone as to the advisa-
bility of giving full and equal suffrage
to the women of the United States
their splendid, patriotic service for the
winning of the war should absolutely
remove all doubt, as they have fully
demonstrated their right to the fran
chfse. - zd-----, - .----'= .s.- =.
Charles w. Waterman, Republican
candidate for nomination for United
States senator, yesterday issued the
following statement:
"That Eve staunchly support the
cause of national woman's suffrags
now is not new slogan for the Re.
publican party. This is directly in line
with the action of the national Repub-
lean committee last February, which
| followed the splendid support given by
the Republicans Jan. 10, when the suf-
frage amendment passed the house. At
| that time 81 per cent of the Republic
cans voted for the amendment while
the Democrats could only muster 80
per cent of their members. In the
senate. where the amendment is now
pending. the Republicans are giving the
same loyal support and are pushing for
immediate passage. And again the
Democrats, with only 80 per cent Of
their votes pledged, are blocking tie
amendment.
"In Colorado, as far back as 1915,
the Republican state convention in Pu-
eblo adopted unanimously the plank
which I submitted as chairman of the
resolutions committee, supporting the
Susan B. Anthony amendment. As a
delegate from that convention to the
national convention in Chicago I
| fought to have such plank put in the
national platform.
"Then, too, the resolution adopted
by the Republican state central COM
mittee in Denver last May is as strong
a statement as can possibly be made,
in my opinion. 1t is, moreover, accord
ing to national woman g party leaders
in the state, the first unqualified sup
port of immediate passage of federal
suffrage amendment given by either Of
the major political parties in Colorado
"The resolution reads:
"'We urge the adoption immediate
ly of the proposed amendment to the
constitution of the United States, ex-
tending the unqualified franchise to
women
"I supported all these resolutions
without hope Of reward or favor, and
stand for them yet, and whenever oe-
casion presents itself 1 fight for them
More could not do; less do not
want to do.''
