me a while ago, Opposition to suf-

goes through, since it is greatly con-
trolled by the liquor interests.
'In regard to the question of Presi-
dent Wilson's allegiance to our cause,
of which some of our sisters have had
their doubts, it seems to me that our
president is not to be blamed for the
failure of the suffrage amendment
to go through. The cause lies in the
fact that certain senators who voted
against it are Of q, stubborn and I'M
