Washington. Jan. 9.-President Will
son tonight threw his support TO tho
federal amendment for woman suf-
frage.
On the eve of vote of suffrage in
the house, twelve democratic mem
bers called at the White House with
word that many of their colleagues
wanted advice from the head of their
party as to the position they should
take There was a conference of forty
minutes, the result of which was de-
scribed in this statement dictated by
the president himself and made pub
lie by the delegation:
Urged Passage of Amendment.
The committee found that the
president had not felt at liberty to
volunteer his advice TO members OF
congress in this important matter,
but when we sought his advice he
very frankly and earnestly advised us
TO vote for the amendment as an act
of right and justice 10 the women of
the country and of the world"
In these few lines suffrage cham
pions saw certain victory where a few
days ago most of them privately were
conceding defeat. A large majority of
the republicans in the house have
been counted upon to support the
amendment and enough democrats are
committed to assure a close vote.
With the weight of the presidents in
fluence to swing doubtful democrats,
representative Raker, chairman of
the suffrage committee, jubilantly
predicted tonight that the necessary
two-thirds would be exceeded by ff-
teen or twenty votes.
Opposition Confident.
Opponents Of suffrage We're claim
ing safe margain against the amend
ment during the day in spite of init
nations from the suffragists that a
trump card yet was to be played.
There We're no formal predictions
from the opponents tonight, but
tremendous fight is promised.
All of the members who went to
the White House were democrats and
most of them supporters of the
amendment but there were several un-
committed In the delegation were
Representative Raker, California;
Taylor, Colorado; Barley and Can
trill, Kentucky; Hayden, Arizona;
Gregg and Jones, of Texas; Ayers,
Kansas; Caraway, Arkansas; Mayes,
Utah; Linthicum, Maryland; Brum-
baugh, Ohio.
After Mr.. Raker had explained the
the president of the situation in his
state. One said the presidents advice
would aid him in determining the
question and that many other mem
bers were similarly situated.
President Is Pleased.
The president is said to have replied
that while he had felt it was not
proper to send for members or to vol
unteer his advice, he was glad of the
opportunity that the visit of the dele
cation gave him. He indicated that
he had not felt at liberty to go be-
yond the party platform which had
declared woman suffrage to be a state
issue, until changed conditions made
it necessary.
Representative Taylor spoke of the
king Of Belgiums advocacy of woman
suffrage, of how England was pledged
to it and probably France. The presi-
dent said the governor general of
Canada, who had luncheon with him

the general reluctance on the part
of everybody to settle down to an
all-summer session. The plan will
be submitted to the Ways and Means
Committee when the committee
meets to prepare for hearings soon
to begin on the new bill, which prob
ably will levy about four billion dol
lars In additional taxes, largely upon
incomes. excess profits and luxuries.
The Democrats of the committee
probably will frame a tentative draft
upon which the entire membership
will build the bill after hearings last
ing fortnight or more.
Says Lobbying Is Responsible
Representative Kitchin, of North
Carolina, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, made a speech in
the House explaining his attitude to-
ward immediate revenue legislation,
and charging that a powerful lobby
working for revision of the new zone
postal rates on newspapers. and perl
odicals was responsible for the de-
mand for keeping Congress in ses-
sion. Heretofore the lobby hoped to
have the Senate put an amendment
repeating or modifying the zone sys-
tenn law on the revenue bill, and to
keep 1t there by getting the Presi-
dent or the Secretary of the Treas
ury to insist upon the House con-
ferees yielding when election or ad-
time approached.

CONGRESS MAY
GET VACATION IN
SPITE OF TAXES
Leaders Arrange For Rest
While Committee Drafts
Revenue Measure

Washington, May 29.-Congress
last night apparently had found a
way to provide the new war revenue
legislation insisted upon by President
Wilson without abandoning entirely
it's long cherished plan to get out of
Washington for summer vacation.
Leaders of both parties Joined in
conferences over a program pro-
posed by Representative Garner. of
Texas, a Democrat of the House
Ways and Means Committee, and 1t
was given general approval. The
plan contemplates prompt action on
pending appropriation bills. to be fol-
lowed about June 10 or 20 by a re-
cess of both Houses until August 1,
while the Ways and Means Commit
tee frames the revenue bill. After
passage of the measure by the
House, probably about August 10,
the House would recess for thirty
days to await action in the Senate.
This program has not been dis
cussed with the President or Secre-
tary McAdoo, but leaders at the Cap
ltol are taking 1t for granted the ad-
mlnlstration has no legislation of
imperative importance to bring for
ward, and that their plans will not
be fnterfered with so long as work
on the revenue bill goes ahead
