Republican Victory in Fed
Grafton Queer" Demo-
crat Member Says
Anti-Pacifst Resolution Op.
posed by Free Speech
Advocate

A good, old fashioned political fight,
"just the way the men do it," is on in
the New York City Federation of
Women's Clubs, as a result of the cleo
ton in Fridays convention. Mrs. Julia
l.. Sanders, an active Hylan Democrat,
called up the newspapers yesterday and
fired the first shot, as follows:
Don't you think it looks queer that
both the candidates elected were Re-
publicans, when Mrs. John Francis
Yawcer and the election officials were
all Republicans, too? How do you cx-
plain the fact that the Democratic cam
didate was defeated by only two votes
when there were 1875 void ballots?"
Will Seek Recount
Mrs. Sanders declared that she and
other prominent Democratic women
would demand a recount or a rcGlec-
ton at once.
Among tho women she mentioned as
supporting her in the demand were
Mrs. James Moran, Mrs. James K. Me
man and Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby,
all officers of the newly incorporated
Women's Democratic Club, known as
the "Feminine Tammany Hail."
Mrs. Yawger, who IS president of the
City Federation, is also president Of the
New York State Woman's Republican
Club and chairman of the organization
committee for women of the New York
State Republican Committee.
Mrs. A. N. Palmer and Mrs. Noble
Mcconnell, who were elected members

candidates We're Mrs. Robins A. Lau and
Mrs. James Moran.

night. "Certainly, if they demand it.
Our chairman of elections, Mrs. Stanley
Lyman Otis, was not appointed, but

vention, III October. | don't see what
politics had to do with her, and | sus
pect that, when it comes to recount of
those void ballots it will be found that
the defeated candidates will be still
greater losers"
To Fight for Free Speech
There was trouble in another quar-
ter last night, too, following the pas
sage of the anti-pacitist resolution by
the federation. Mrs. Ella O. Guilford
one of the two women who voted
against tne antl-paclfSt resolution, de-
clared that she would fight for free
speech to the very gates of prison.
II went to see Police Commissioner
Enright this morning" she said, land
was informed that it was impossible
that two women suspected as traitors
were present at our meeting. He said
if they had been under suspicion for
week, either they would have been
arrested long before the convention, or
else eXonerated."
According to charges made in the con-
vention, two women who had called the
flag a "dirty rag" were present at the
time. Mrs. Gulford declared that reso-
lutions aimed at them were an at
tempt to suppress free speech, and an
nounced her intention of writing let
ter to Mrs. Yawger protesting against
such policies.

Only 6More Votes Needed toPass
Suffrage Amendment, Says Leader
Miss Anne Martin, Vice-Chairman of National Woman
Party, Comes Here to Direct Finish of Campaign
for Bill Before the Senate

Suffragists have already won the
support of all but six Of the sixty two
Senators necessary to pass the Federal
amendment and are confident that the
six will arise when the critical hour
of the vote arrives, according to a
statement made last night by Miss
Anne Martin, first vice-chairman OF
the National Woman's Party.
Miss Martin came from Washington
to direct tho finish of the campaign in
New York City, which is aimed not
only at Senator James w. Wadsworth
the most aggressive anti-suffragist in
the Senate, but also at many other
Senators from other states who have
influential friends in New York. Miss
Martins presence revealed the fact
that Miss Alice Paul. leader of the
"pickets" and chairman Of the Wom-
ans Party, is i'll with German measles.
Late Conversions Expected
1--WE expect the same eleventh hour
conversion Of the necessary number of
Democrats and Republicans in the SEN
ate that We had in the House." said
Miss Martin. "You know that our last
POLL OF the House showed us forty votes
short, but we got them all at the crit
lcal time. The same thing will happen
in the Senate.
"Perhaps President Wilson will come
to our aid, as he did the night before
the vote in the House, but it may be
that we can muster the necessary num-
Der of votes without him. At all events,
the bill is sure to pass, because both
parties are just as eager to avoid the
responsibility for defeat now as they
we're when the suffrage bill came up in
the House.
"The political necessity is just as
pressing upon the Senator's as upon
the House members, for the fate of the
this suffrage measure. The Woman's
Party will surely campaign next fall
against the party that fails to stand by
the women"
Names Men Counted On
Miss Martin made public a list of
Senators upon whom the suffragists
were laying their fondest hopes. They
are not, however, men coming up for
reelection, but men whose records are
generally progressive. The Republicans
are Borah, of Idaho, the only Repub-
lican from suffrage state who is not
working for the amendment; Harding,
of Ohio; Kellogg, of Minnesota; Hale,
of Maine, and McCumber, of North Da-
kota, who has been requested by his
state Legislature to vote for the
amendment.
The Democrats are Martin, of Vir-
ginia, who has said that he would vote
for it when he was convinced that
maj ority Of the white women of Vir-
ginia wanted it; Simmons, of North
Carolina; Hitchcock, of Nebraska;
Gerry, of Rhode Island, and Trammell
and Fletcher, of Florida.
Date of Vote Undetermined
There are ninety-six members of the
Senate, but owing to vacancies and ILL
ness there probably will be only ninety
one voting. The bill is in the care of
Senator Jones, of New Mexico. chair

The Moral Good Ahead

Edward Wise, in Leslies.
 The losses sustained by practically all countries of the world are of such mag nitude as to make predictions on post war conditions purely a matter of con- lecture. Two things stand out clearly in this war:
 i The material losses to the world in properties and man power.
 2 The great gain to the world from the moral and spiritual uplift of those re- maining to carry on the worlds work.
 Assuming that the war will last an- other year the total debt at the present rate of borrowing of the twenty-two countries involved in the war. will amount to $190O00 000, GOO, and the interest on the above to S, ,500 000000.
 The destruction of buildings and indus tria machinery in Belgium totals s1,o0o. GOO, ,O00, and in France $700,00000O. The destruction of agricultural implements, raw materials, crops and live stock Tn Belgium has been s7So,00ooOo and ssSO,OoO, coo in France The loss of ships by de- struction up to August l amounts to 15,- 900, 900 tons, which leaves only one-third of the worlds tonnage of pre-war period and totals a loss to date of S1 ,050, 900 600.
 The great benefit of the war. as above stated, will be the moral and spiritual uplift of the world. Men who have been used to luxuries will meet in friendly comradeship those who have been less fortunate, and the great distinction that has prevailed between the classes will be broken down. Labor will receive its fair due for what it produces and swoll- en fortunes will be a thing Of the past

Women in Finance

Thomas F. Logan, in Leslie's.
 For the first time in the history of any modern government woman's committee has been appointed by the Secretary Of the Treasury with powers co-ordinateo with other committees and with full rec ognition and privileges. This Is the wom- ans Liberty Loan committee which IS gradually coming into public recognition as the war progresses. This committee. with Mrs. William G. McAdoo as chair man, is now operating in every state in the union and has in it's ranks member ship of nearly million women. Also, for the first time in our financial history it has been found that woman can sit at the board of the Liberty Loan commit tee of each federal reserve bank. Hith- erto money interests of the higher order were supposed to exclude the gentler sex. Today it is found that the picked woman can be as keen in national financial ar- fairs as the man of a life's training. In the last Liberty Loan campaign. the total amount of subscriptions recorded as sold through women's Liberty Loan commit
 tees throughout the different states Was $656 7O7, ,365. This does not include the in dividual subscriptions made by the wom- en of the country who were not asked 10 give by these organized women workers
 In New York state alone the woman Liberty Loan committee raised 1S per cent of the state allotment, or $l06, 50,53o- AS the war takes away what was supposed to be the indispensable products of our national life, it is inspiring to know that even in financial matters women rise up to take the place of the drafted.
