G. O. P. MAKES
PARTY ISSUE
OF SUFFRAGE
Claim the Democrats Have
Postponed Measure, to
Grant Women Votes.

A party issue was made Of the SUI
frage amendment last night by Will
Hays, chairman of the Republican
National Committee, referring to the
suffrage skirmish in the Senate In q
statement that "the Democrats face
the responsibility of having postponed
this measure of justice and progress"
THE facts speak for themselves"
he said. "The Republicans were there;
their votes were ready. More than
two-thirds Of their members stood
pledged and willing to. support the
amendment The delay is not due to
the Republican side"
Senator Curtis, Republican whip.
said: 1T deeply regret that the suf-
frage amendment is not now on its
way to the States and this act Of
justice done to the women of the ma
ton. II the Republicans had had their
way, 1t would be. We were ready
with more than. two-thirds; II the
Democrats had had anywhere near
two-thirds the measure would have
passed. 1 am glad the failure today
does not rest upon the Republican
Uarty."
As was predicted, Senator Jones, Of
New Mexico, rose yesterday and an
nounced that the amendment would
not be brought up. He said the COM
..!ittee had received information that
hrd made it change its intention.
1T is so important that the amend
snent be not brought up till it is ab-
solutely sure Of passage" he explain
ed, that the committee decided not
to ask action now"
1t was said on excellent authority
that even had the suffragists forced
the vote they would have lacked two
or three of the two-thirds necessary
for passage.
Senator Jones' announcement brought
protests from Smith OF Georgia and
Gallinger of New Hampshire. Smith
of Arizona and Smith OF Michigan
both said they had left i'll members of
their families in order to be present.
This was after Smith had read a tele-
ram from the Detroit Women's Party
expressing Indignation that nineteen
'cnators pledged to the vote were alb
.cnt" early in the week.
"Thirty-two Senators on this side
viii vote for it," announced Senator
Curtis. Eleven are against it and
one is doubtful"
The Kansas Senator told suffrage
leaders that in January when the
amendment passed the House twenty
nine Republican Senators were for it,
compared with the present thirty
two; and that whereas at that time
twenty five Democratic Senators
would have voted in favor OF the
amendment, twenty-nine are now for
it-ai gain of seven in all
This computation of twenty-nine
added to thirty-two gives but a total
of sixty-one. whereas sixty-four out
of the full Senate vote Of ninety-six is
necessary to pass the amendment.
senate leaders hope that more votes
will be gained through changes in
the complexion of the States.
Republican senators who favor suf-
frage said they could have played
politics with the amendment and put
the Democrats in a hole If they haC
wished. on the theory that the Re
publicans stood quite ready to cast
their ballots, while Democrats wanted
to postpone the issue.
Suffragists say il strong admins.
tration pressure were put behind the
resolution it would be passed with
out delay. They intend to concen-
trate on Senators close to the White
House.

nanufac cturing plant at the Fedora!
penitentiary at Atlanta. Ga.

that the goods were needed to supply

Lever protested against the "pater-
