WOMEN VOTERS
IN UNITED STATES
Further Additions To Equal Suffrage
States Brings Speculation As To
Presidential Campaign

What part the women voters will
play in the next presidential election,
although that event is still two years
off, is question which is already de-
manding consideration. The recent
November election, at which Michigan,
South Dakota and Oklahoma en-
franchised their women, resulted in
the addition of 100000 women of vot-
ing age to the electorate of the coun-
try. The total of women voters in the
states having full, presidential or pri-
mary suffrage has now reached 1906
964 In Is states women have full suf-
frage, and before the end of the year
Arkansas, in which they now have pri-
mary suffrage, it is expected, will
make the number 16 by adopting new
constitution, which contains full suf-
frage clause.
Suffragists feel that this great num-
ber of women voters is sure to have
an immediate influence on the stand
ing of the Federal Suffrage Amend
ment in the senate of the Sixty-Fifth
congress, for as the Sixty-Sixth will
probably be dominated by the repub-
lican party, the democrats. if they wish
the credit for passing the amendment,
must take action before next March.
Since their experiences in the ex-
tremely difficult Oklahoma campaign,
the National American Woman Suf-
frage association officials have decided
that the state method of winning the
suffrage is far too costly-in various
ways-and that hereafter they will de-
vote their full energies to securing fav-
orable action on the federal amend
ment.

LEAGUE WARNS WOMEN
OF NATION AGAINST
SENTIMENTALITY

Under the slogan Garry On" the
League has appealed to the people of
America, through the 100000 patriotic
women of the nation cooperating ac-
lively in the Leagues pro-American
propaganda, to be on the alert against
sympathetic sentimentality for the de-
feated enemy and to stand firm for a
peace of justice.
The Leagues appeal is in the form
of forceful warning sent through
Miss Eta v. Leighton, civic secretary
of the Leagues educational depart
ment, TO the various important organi-
zations of women of the country, num-
bering membership of over 500, 600,

C.. Ashby Brady Family Made Unex-

Return OF Son Elwood


One of the happiest families in An
napolis today is that of Mr.. and Mrs.
c. Ashby Brady, Revell street and
Spa creek. The occasion for this spe-
cial happiness is the arrival of their
son, Elwood Paul Brady. apprentice
machinist United States Navy, who
surprised his parents last nigh. upon
his return after a fourteen months
absence overseas
Young Brady returned on the U. S.
S. Florida with the fleet, and took part
in the review in New York on Thurs
day. His arrival was great surprise
as he had no. let the folks at home
know he was even so near as New
York. He is looking fine and in the
best of health and spirits after his
duty at sea and abroad during the
war. Two brothers, Sergeant Theo-
dore Brady. of Company M. 115th in
fantry, and Sergeant Bernard Brady
of the Machine Gun Company have
also served their country in the late
world war. the Brady family having
been one of several in Annapolis to

UNIVERSITY CLUB PLANS
WINTER OF ACTIVITIES

The executive committee of the Uni

Tuesday evening next, and plan the ac-
tiyities of the organization for the re-
mainder of the winter. The club, with
DIR. C. Alphonso Smith as its presi-
dent. conducted a highly successful
ter and the wish for resumption of
its work is general among its mem
bers.
The program of the meetings con-
sisted of number of short papers
ususlly about five-and the variety of
subject was most notable. 1t is thought
that the work will continue this winter
along about the same lines.

SPORTS OUTLOOK AT
ACADEMY PROMISING
All Branches Of Athletics Engag.
ing Interest Of Excep-
tional Talent
FOURTH CLASS DOES WELL

The present fourth class, the last to
enter, has already made a showing in
athletics worthy of its 900 members,
the largest class in the history of the
Naval Academy. Its members have
done excellent work on the football
and basketball teams, the only sports
in which they have had chance to
compete with outside institutions
since they entered. and just now, many
are going into the winter sports or
looking forward to those which fill the
bills in the spring.
The coaches and officer directors of
the winter sports-swimming, wrest-
ling, gymnastics and fencing, have al
ready secured a number of likely men
from the class for their special branch
Those in charge of spring sports are
beginning to look the class over also.
1t is known that there is much good
rowing material, five eights having
been formed last spring, while base
ball, lacrosse, field and track, tennis
and rifle shooting are sure to get val
liable recruits.
Football and basketball were great
ly strengthened by the material which
the new class afforded. Twelve of
the TWEEN y-nine letters and numerals
won in football last season by the
whole midshipmen body went to MEM
bers of the new class. Those who
might be classed as clearly first team
men, were Orr, Murray and Denfeld,
while these took part in one or more
of the regular matches: Lowe, Alyord,
Larson, Rawlings, Snively, Newby
Clapp, King and Severn.
The basketball squad also drew
heavily from the class. Farwell, Blue,
Bailliere, Rockey.Lyon have already
played on the first team in matches.
Others on the squad are Spear. Burr,
and Baker. Farwell is clearly the star
of the regular five. He plays forward
and leads the team in scoring with
thirty field goals in the four games
played. He has actually been on the
floor not over three-fourths of the
time Blue played guard on the Prince
ton five last season.
A splendid lot of recruits for the
gymnastic team have been secured
from the class; in fact, Instructor
Mang stated that no entering class has
ever furnished so much of high stand
ard. Those on the team are: Horizon
tai bar, Cory and Smith; flying rings,
Mold; parallel bars, Danies. Jones and
Silverman; side horse. Pew: tumbling.
Comp: club swinging, Pew.
The wrestling and swimming squads
have a number of good men from the
class who are trying for places.
Fencing has not Jared so we'll, as it is
rather technical sport and few have
had the opportunity of engaging in it.
OF the spring sports, baseball and
track, as well as rowing. are prom
ised much from the lusty class Of new
