Won't Hold Water,
Jersey Wome1, Say
Of Baird's Excuse
Will Accept No Apology
for Vote With Democrats
on Suffrage
Defeat Is Demanded
Senator Broke Pledge to Gov
ernor, Says Mrs. E. F.
Fcickert

Women OF New Jersey will accept
no explanation from Senator David
Baird, Republican. as TO why he voted
against the Federal suffrage amend
ment after having pledged himself to
support it. The Senator's apology Of
last week is foutcd by Mrs. +. T..
Feickcrt, president of the New Jersey
Woman's Suffrage Association. who is
sued an appeal yesterday to Repub-
lican voters to vote against Senator
Baird.
Senator Baird takes strange po-
siton when he defends his vote by
saying that he voted with twenty
three Democratic Senators. Why a
Republican who cast his first vote in
1860 as a member Of party formed
to fight the policy Of states rights
should now align himself with q group
of Southern men is hard to undcr-
stand.
"Senator Baird tries TO justify his
course by pointing out that nine other
Republicans voted as he did. He fails
to add, however, that he was tho only
promise to vote for the amendment.
He was appointed by the Governor
with the specific understanding that
he would support all of President
Wilson's war measures. He has tried
70 avoid the suffrage plank in the Re-
publican platform of this state by
claiming that it binds only represent
atives Of the party not bound by
pre- primary pledges.
eve do not know what secret pledges
Senator Baird may have given against
woman suffrage previous to the Re-
publican primaries on September "a,
that he had an open mind on the
subject.
"The women of New Jersey appeal
to voters to vote against David Baird
for the short term in the United
States Senate. This term will cx-
pire March 4. and it is not likely that
any problem of worldwide Importance
will como up in the Senate before
then except suffrage. Let us send a
man to Washington who will vote
right on this question:"
A meeting will be held next Satur-
day night in Newark as the climax of
meeting Harriet Stanton Blatch and
Dudley Field Malone will speak for
Hennessy. the Democratic candidate
whom suffragists are asking all par
ties to send to the Senate for the short
term because he is pledged to the
Federal amendment soon to be voted
on.
In 1916, in Chicago, when the Ma
tional Woman's party was first in
augurated, Mr.. Malone asked women
to support the Democratic Presiden-
tial candidate. Mrs. Blatch repudi-
ated both the Democratic party and
Mr.. Malone because of their attitude
on suffrage. The hatchet Is now buried
however, and both are supporting the
Democratic candidate in New Jersey
for the cause of suffrage.

The War Call for Women
Doubts Borah Will
Support Suffrage
Mrs. Gait Says Senator Must
Assure Vote Advocates by
Personal Statement

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. prcsi-
dent OF the National American Wom-
an Suffrage Association, commented
yesterday on The Tribune report from
Washington which said that Senator
horah was expected by Miss Alice Paul
OF the National Woman's party to vote
ior the suffrage amendment.
Senator Borah emphatically repudi-
ated statements imputed to him to the
effect that he would vote for the amend
ment." said Mrs. Gait. Senator Bo-
rah's own statement should be taken as
more representative of his intentions
than the statement of anybody else.
1t 'has been suggested that Senator
Borah, If elected, would feel bound to
accept the Endorsement Of the Federal
suffrage amendment by the state Re
publican party Of Idaho. That indorse-
ment dates back to Juno 25. 1918. Yet
on October !, 1918. Senator Borah felt
himself so little bound by it that he
voted mo- on the amendment.
almost up to the time that the vote
was taken, Senator Borah's colleagues
kept co,uing to us with assurances that
when the test came Senator Borah
would vote for the amendment. Western
men, representing the progress ssivc
thought and ideals Of the West, could
not believe that Senator Borah would
fail the West on this great issue. But
he did.
at will be time enough to herald his
change of heart when he himself is
sues a statement to that effect. He has
not done so.
"Meantime tho suffrage amendment
still lacks the necessary two thirds in
the United States Senate and our en-
ergies arc bent on bringing the quota
to the needed number"
