COTTON FIXING IS UNESSENTIAL
 HOPE OF BARUCH

ing suffragettes retired tonight ap- parently perfectly confident that the Susan E. Anthony equal suffrage amendment will be submitted tomor- row by the Senate.
 The suffrag gettes claim that they will secure a two-thirds majority with four votes to spare. They state that several senators, in obedience to the mandates of President Wilson. have changed their viewpoint and instead of opposing the amendment will give Nit support. As leader of the latter Sroup. they name John Sharp Will liams of Mississippi. 'old-line, old- fashion democrat. They claim. also, the support of Senator Martin of Ken lucky whereas his predecessor the late Ollie James, opposed them, and of whereas his predecessor, the late Ben Tillman. opposed them with all the vehemence of his "pictchfork" fame
 Alabama's senators, Bankhead and Underwood, will oppose the submission of the amendment to the last ditch. Tn the last moments of the furious days work, suffragists attempted to asaail even their citadeIs, but both refused strenuously and consistently to be in- terviewed.
 While the suffragettes expect a vote tomorrow, the final balloting may be postponed for day or more. Several senators intend to speak their opposi- tion at length. It is interesting in connection with the indication that the equal suffrage amendment will be passed to recall that during the recent campaign in Alabama anti-amendists predicted that the legislature which ratified the prohibition amendment would be called upon to ratify also. the equal suffrage amendment

Supporters Claim From One to Three Votes Over the
 Necessary Majority
OPPONENTS SURE OF
 KILLING RESOLUTION
Women Throng Senate Office Build ing Making Final Drive In Fight For Equal Suffrage-Vote
 Expected Today

Washington September 25.-Outcome of the vote in the Senate on woman suf- frage apparently was in greater doubt tonight than has been any action by Congress in many years.
 The only point on which advocates and opponents were agreed was that the House resolution proposing submission to the states of the Susan B. Anthony amendment to the federal constitution, would be called up when the Senate con- venes tomorrow. Both sides expressed the greatest confidence in the result, but it was not certain a vote would be reached before adjournment, although Senator Jones of New Mexico, chairman of the Senate woman suffrage commit tee and other suffrage leaders, were de- termined tonight to hold the resolution before the Senate until final disposition.
 Both sides expected only brief debate and believed a vote would be reached during the day. Supporters of the meas ure said they would have from one to three votes over the necessary two-thirds majority, but opponents privately ex- pressed complete confidence that they had enough votes to defeat the resolu- tion and thus prevent any further action on equal suffrage until the sixty-sixth Congress convened in December, 1913.
 Final arrangements for tomorrow's contest were made today with negotia- tions for pairing of absent Senators and campaigning by both factions. Women tbronged the Senate office building mak- ing their final drive in the fight. Prepa- rations have been made for handling capacity crowd in the Senate galleries.
 In anticipation of a vote many Sena' tors who have been out Of town arrived today and more are due tomorrow, some on late trains which may hold off the roll call.

Tells Montgomery Mass Meeting Trouble Lies in
 Unequal Distribution

Montg September 25.-Ad- dressing mass meeting of 1000 per- sons tonight, Louis F. Post. Assistant Secretary of Labor, declared there was no shortage of labor in the United States. There is a shortage in some sections and an excess in others" he said. And this is due to improper distribution. Where shortages exist the war labor board should be com municated with.
 The speaker referred to the fact that conscription of labor is far removed now, but said that if it should become necessary the same general plan as used in drafting soldiers for the army will be used. The principles along which the war labor board was or ganized were discussed and he stated that the co operation now existing be- tween capital and labor must continue throughout the war.

Unapproved Publicity Responsible For Bearing
 Market, Says Wade

Montgomery, September 25.-(Specia1) Publicity sent out without the approval of government authorities is the factor held responsible by James A. Wade, com missioner of agriculture of Alabama, for bearing the cotton market The de- pertinent Wednesday received a lengthy telegram from the Alabama commissioner who is in Washington to confer with au- thorities regarding the price fixing Of cotton, and MT. Wade says:
 "The greatest factor bearing the mar ket Is unapproved publicity
 Commissioner Wade believes that price fixing will not come soon and probably not at all. Such statement from the commissioner, who has been in the cap ital several days in the interest of the farmers in the cotton growing states, is considered significant in Montgomery.
 It is believed he has good foundation for saying price fixing on cotton will not be soon and probably not at all.'' The government contemplates no fore seen hurtful action says the telegram. Confidence should return to the mar ket"

VETERANS PLEDGE
 FULL SUPPORT ID
 PRESIDENT WILSON
Resolutions Adopted By the Veterans and Sons Tell ing President of
 Full Support

Tulsa, Okla. September 25.-This was
 another day of surging patriotism for the Confederate veterans, their sons and their associates in annual reunion here. The veterans are no longer living over their own battles of more than half a century ago, but newspapers in hand have
 made the progress of the allied troops on the western battlefront a subject of con versation and discourse that has almost put into second place the fighting in which they themselves participated. A pledge of support was sent to Presi- dent Wilson in the following resolution: ''The United Confederaues association, in convention assembled, desires to go on record before the world with refer ence to the great world war our coun- try now is engaged in, as heart and soul back of the Washington admins tration and 100 per cent loyal to the colors.
 Therefore, be it resolved, we hereby pledge our best and continuous efforts in upholdng the hands of our great President in his faithful execution of the most gigantic thrust ever placed upon the heart and brain of 8 human being: adding our prayers to the God of all earth that his life and that his health

 Resolutions expressing the thanks ot the veterans and kindred associations for reduced railroad rates, which made the reunion possible, were adopted and forwarded to Secretary McAdoo. The Sons of Veterans, inspired by the patriotic ardor of the older organiza- ton, at once adopted and forwarded
 to the President the following resolu-
 tion pledging their aid to the govern ment:
 FRONT LINE TRENCHES
 .'The Sons of Confederate Veterans in annual reunion assembled desiring to ex- press to our beloved President and his administration our most hearty endorse ment of the principles he has enunciated,
 by these presents do hereby place our selves on record as pledging our con- federation without stint and without linn it. to further these principles.
 Therefore, be it resolved, that com nittee be appointed to tender to the ad- ministration the services of this confed- eration in any manner and at any time to the end that the hands of our Presi- dent be upheld during the great stress of the world conflict in his faithful ex- ecution of the greatest trust ever placed upon the heart, mind and strength of any man.
 s'Be it further resolved. that we place at inc disposal of our President, Wood- row Wilson. all of our resources influ. CT ces and activities that the world may be made safe for democracy and that the principles achieved by our forefathers as exempIified in the constitution of the

VIII Press War With Vigor
The President speaks of the cf-
feet of the election abroad. He says
that there they understand the
meaning of elections. They do, and
they will know that If the Republi-
cans have a majority in Congress,
the war Will be pressed with greater
vigor than ever befre. They are quite
aware that the power of the Senate
is equal to that of the President in
the consummation of peace by treaty.
They will know that the Republican
party stands for a victorious peace
and the overthrow of Prussian mill
tarism. That knowledge will not de-
press the spirit of our Allies or en-
courage the government of Germany.
The Republican party believes
that the question of surrender should
be left to Marshal F'och, to the gen.
erals and TO the armies in the field.
When they report that Germany has
laid down her arms the United States
and the Allies should then impose
their terms. Will that knowledge
cause detection to those who are
fighting with us? All the world
knows that the Republican party is
opposed to negotiations and discus
sion carried on in diplomatic notes
addressed to the German govern
ment The Republican party stands
FOR unconditional surrender. There
is no Republican creed so short
that there is not room in it for
those two words.

although the Republicans of the
House are in the minority, they cast
more actual votes on seven great
war measures than the Democratic
majority was able to do, What is
the record of the Senate? On 81
roll calls on war measures between
April 6. 1917, and the 29th of May,
1918, the votes cast by Republicans
in favor of such measures were ~
per cent, while only 81 per cent. of
the votes cast on the Democratic
side were in favor of such measures.
Those were the Presidents own
measures. Does that record look as
If we had hampered him? The Re-
pulican party in Congress has sup
ported the administration policies
since the war with a unanimity and
an absence of criticism unprece-
dented in party history.
There are some domestic ques-
tions where we should undoubtedly
differ from the course pursued by
the administration. We should not,
for example, fix price on the farm
er's wheat and leave the planters of
cotton untouched. Another domestic
question in which the Republican
party believes thoroughly in eco
nomic preparation for the coming
of peace and they are clearly of the
opinion that the Congress of the
United States should not lie eX-
cluded from that great task.
American Peoples War
This is not the Presidents per-
sonal war. This is not the war of
Congress. 1t is not the war of the
Democratic or the Republican party.
1t is the war of the American peo-
pie. 1t is more. 1t is the war of the
United States, of the Allied powers,
of the civilized world against the
barbarism of Germany. In this
great burden and responsibility the
Republican party representing more
than half the citizenship of the
country demands its rightful share.
If the Republican party is en-
trusted with power in either or bo1h
Houses they will do everything pos
sible to drive forward the war and
hasten the day of victory. The Presi-
