Washington, Sept. a. Senator
Hitchcock. democratic leader and
spokesman for President Wilson.
took n rap at the league OF nations
opponents In HIS speech In the SEN
ate yesterday; especially was Mr.
Hitchcock bitter towards Senator
Knox, OF Pennsylvania. In closing
his speech he said
"A few. very few, have declared
they would vote against the treaty
because of the league OF nations.
but II has remained for Senator
Knox to declare boldly against our
participation In the peace settlement.
To say that he has amazed the coun-
try Is to put II mildly. lie has shock
cd the country. lie formerly IA
yored taking the league OF nations
a. "A form OF peace settlement with
Germany. now he suddenly changes
front.
1T IL suggested that We desert our
associates and negotiate u separate
treaty. II Is proposed that We adopt
a policy OF quit and scuttle. II Is
proposed that we repudiate our OBJ
legations and like cravens leave them
Co be performed by the nations late
ly associated with us.
WAS there ever more insane
international policy proposed? In
tho mixture of poltroonery and folly
II is difficult to see which predomin-
Rtes. The senator from Pennsylvania
goes the limit, He not only proposes
that We desert our friends and Wban-
don our obligations, but he suggests
that we release Germany from all
promises OF indemnitles and repara-
tions. Why not go further and pro
pose that we compensate Germany?
That Would be a still stronger appea!
~ German sentiment.
IL have spoken OF the treaty as a
whole. but the league OF nations fea-
ture particularly has been persistent
ly and unreasonable attacked In this
chamber. Those who conjure mp
these possible disadvantages seem to
ignore altogether the enormous ad-
vantages of organizing the world for
peace.
"They make mountains out OF
mole hills In reviewing difficulties
of the league plan. They are suspi-
clous that while II may benefit every
other nation on earth, It Is so devised
MS to bring disaster to the United
States They crawl on the ground
with a microscope searching for pit
falls, and are unable to look forward
to the promised land OF peace and
order and Justice to which the new
movement leads"

SUFFRAGIST LEADERS DEMAND
RATIFICATION AT ONCE OF
SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT
FLOODING STATE WITH LETTERS
Will Also Send Silver-Tongued Ora
tors to stump the State; ScoG
at Olcotts 'sTerIns"

Portland, Sept. 4.-Because Gov
ernor olcott, it is asserted, is hold
ing UP the ratification Of suffrage,
letter put out by the suffrage ratifi-
cation committee and signed by Mrs.
J. W. Hawkins. OF Portland, is reach
ing women in every part OF the state
today. Mrs. Hawkins letter Is an
appeal that women point out to the
governor the error OF his ways.
Fourteen states have ratified the
federal suffrage amendment" points
out Mrs. Hawkins, land four more
have called sessions this month, with
more in October. The curious and
depressing fact is that the Eastern,
Middle Western and Southern states
are ratifying faster than the pioneer
suffrage states of the West.
Western women are making every
effort to induce their governors to
call suffrage sessions that women
may vote in the decisive elections OF
1920. In the first place they do not
wish the humiliation of coming in
last. In the second place they be-
lieve they owe a debt to the women
of the East who aided in the suf-
frage campaigns of all the Western
states, both with money and with
workers.
"Will you do your bit?" Mrs. Haw-
kins finally asks: ''Will you tell Gov
ernor Olcott that the women of Ore
gon desire action ON suffrage now,
at the beginning, not at the end?
Will you tell him why? This is not
partisan matter 1t concerns all
women. Whatever your affiliations,
beliefs or politics, you can do this to
help the women of 26 disfranchised
states. Freely, without pledge or
promise, Governor Olcott should take
the action other forward-looking ex-
ecutives are taking"
Not trusting to written words,
women will make tours into Western
and Eastern Oregon to reach women
and legislators. Miss Vivian Pierce,
organizer for the national women's
party, has charge of these trips. Miss
Pierce will speak in Western Oregon
and confer with the legislators who
are unwilling to become party to
''the governors TERMS" as legisla-
tors are beginning to call them.
I'VE cannot help but see the humor
in the governors terms" says Miss
Emma Void, another worker, "just
as the legislators do. Governor Oh
colt is the only governor who has
made terms for suffragists and leg
islators. Governor Olcott is the only
man in this country who has de-
manded that legislators request
session, in so many words, pay all
their expenses and give him pledge
that they will consider nothing but
suffrage no matter what the emer-
gency."
