Federated LABOR
SUPPORTS SUFFRAGE

Among the vital questions discussed
at the recent convention Of the Michi-
gan Federation of Labor was that of
the pending Woman Suffrage Amend
ment. The thought of the delegates
was expressed by the following reso-
luton:
Suffrage Endorsed.
To the Officers and Delegates of the
Twenty-ninth Annual Convention Of
the Michigan Federation of Labor:
Whereas, The struggle of almost
century to secure suffrage for women
on equal terms with men has resulted
in its adoption in large degree by all
civilized nations; and
Whereas, In the immediate interest
of those principles. of democratic gov
ernment for which our country has
taken up arms the President of the
United States has requested the House
of Representatives to submit the Ques-
ton of equal suffrage to the legisla-
lures Of the several states; and
Whereas, The franchise has been
achieved by the women Of states both
east and west of Michigan and by wo-
men in the British Provinces north Of
Michigan since the question was last
submitted to voters of our state; and
Whereas. The legislature of the
state of Michigan has granted to the
women of the state all the rights OF
suffrage within its power and has fur
Their voted to submit the question of
full suffrage to the voters Of our state
in November of this year; and
Whereas, We believe that the wO-
men of Michigan desire enfranchise-
ment not only as a just privilege, but
as an opportunity to serve the nation
with the fullest patriotism at all times
and especially during the present SUI
preme test therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the delegates of
the Twenty-ninth Annual Convention
of the Michigan Federation of Labor,
in session assembled in the City of De-
troit, do most heartily endorse the
principle of equal suffrage and hereby
pledge our moral support to the cam
paign to be waged toward its attain
ment in our state between now and
the time of submission next Novem-

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
PREDICTS VICTORY.

81 feel very strongly about suffrage
and its coming. This is not a mere
statement. 1t is coming surely. No
one can stop it. l have no sympathy
with those who would stop the cam
paign during the war. You should
stop no useful thing during the war.
"On the contrary, suffrage should be
urged through the war. II the ques-
ton Of preparedness is presented to.
the women the war will end that much
sooner. i would rather present case
TO the mothers than any one else.
They respond so much quicker

tive League.
At various points throughout the
state small detachments are guarding
isolated power plants.
Must Be Able Men.
In picking out 200 men for the state
police more than 600 candidates were
put through rigorous examinations at
the training station in East Lansing
by Col. Roy. G. Vandercook and other
former national guard officers. Later
they were carefully trained and disci.
plined. Many of the present command
are men who have seen service in the
Canadian Mounted Police. Some are
veterans of the regular army while
others have been in the national
guard or members of police forces.
Not only are the men drilled in
military maneuvers, but they are
schooled in civil procedure as well
and must acquire practically as much
knowledge Of the law as the average
prosecuting officer. They know their
own rights and also must know when
others are within the law. They are
taught surgical dressing and must
learn how to administer first aid ap.
pliances. Above all they must possess
an abundance Of common sense and
good nature.
"Pay no attention to insulting re.
marks and never pick a quarrel" are
among the first instructions given a
recruit. Never make a threat you do
not intend to carry out. A buffer is
no good in this organization We want
men who mean business. Never draw
your gun except in the direct extrem.
ity when your own life Is threatened -
so thorough a success has this
branch OF the states war work been
that IL is entirely likely the next leg.
islature will make IL permanent
