WILSON WISHES
BY ellison Gardner.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 3.--If Presi-
dent Wilson actively supports the fed
eral amendment for woman suffrage,
that measure will pass. This. is the
feeling Of suffragist leaders. It is the
answer apparent in a number Of polls
which have. been made.
That President Wilson will give the
measure his active support is predict
ed by them. A letter to some con-
gresham or prominent suffragist urg-
ing congressman to vote for the
amendment, and not to be influenced
by the White House %picketing, is the
form in which the expected aid is
prophesied.
1t is reported that in a recent in
terview with John Spargo, President
Wilson expressed hope that the suf-
|frage amendment might be disposed Of
at this session of congress. He called
attention to the fact that albpolls in
dictate "a shortage Of about ~ votes.
Hes expressed some doubt as to his
ability to influence so many votes in
favor of the amendment.
The most favorable poll is one
made by Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah. who finds 248 votes in. the
House for the amendments If all
members are present when the vote
is taken, it would require 290 to pass.
But less than this will be sufficient
since the requirement is for two
thirds "of those present. W
The poll made by members Of the
Woman's Party which has been can
wasting congress for two years adj
mits the lack of approximately 40
votes. These. they say, can be sup
piled from the 70 "non-committal."

point which could be easily defended
