We have nothing to do with any
political bargaining, hut we insist that
al this time in history no statesman
can fail to see that what seemed a
matter of abstract justice a few years
ago is now a question 10 bc settled at
once on a basis not only of political "N-
pedienCy but Of national wartime cf-
tClency and Of world democracy.
We. therefore, congratulate both
political parties in Pennsylvania that
all candidates for Governor and most Of
those for other important offices have
declared for suffrage as war nea sure
and We expect the Legislature Of 1919
to ratlfN the suffrage amendment.
AT present. however, our CnerEie. are
bent on the immediate passage of the
suffrage amendment by the United
States Senate"
