What sumragists Want.

TnarNew Jersey Suffrage Ratlffca-
ION committee has asked for a hear
ng before the platform committee OF
he Democratic and Republican State
Conventions which are being held In
Trenton today. Among the women
who will attend are: h State e
dent. Mrs. r.. +. Feickert, Miss Bessie
Pope, Mrs. Andrew J.. Steelman, and
AIRS. James Ellington, of Jersey CITY;
Mrs. Wells p, Eagleton, of Newark;
Mrs. Everett Colby n Mrs. Philip
McKim Garrison, of West Orange;
Mrs. r. H. Colvin, of East orange;
DR.. Mary G. Cummins, of Patterson;
Mrs Lewis s. Thompson, of Red
Bank; Mrs. Charles S. Maddack, Jr.,
and Mrs. C. A. Woodruff, of Trenton;
Mrs. r. d. Craighead, of Atlantic
CITY: Mrs. A. Haines Lippineott, OF
Camden; Mrs. Robert 8. Huse, OF
Elizabeth; Mrs, C. w. Stevens, Jr.. OF
New Brunswick; Mrs. Joseph N. Tut
tie. of Madison, and Mrs. Ward u.
Kerlin, of Moo rsbown.
The suffragists feel certain that o
plank favoring prompt ratification OF
the Federal Suffrage Amendment by
the next Legislature will be adopted
by the Democratic Convention, as II
will be championed by the Party's
candidate for Governor. Senator Ed
ward I. Edwards. While the Repub-
< <lc1n, CaDQludt0, NSWtuu ~ D~S
bee, is not himself a suffragist he has
positively assured the s~uffragists that
IL a majority OF the candidates favor
such a plank he will not oppose 1t IN
any way. On August Is. he stated
through a committee consisting OF
Mrs. L. S. Thompson, Mrs. Wells p.
Eagleton and Mrs. 3. F. Feickert: u
hll at the time of the State Repubh-
hns Convention present this matter
Chat of ratification Of the Federal
Suffrage Amendment) to the Informal
conference In an unbiased manner
without any moral suasion on my part
for or against adopting a plank favor
able to ratification. Also, If a major
fly of the candidates of the Party are
In favor, a plank will go in the plat
Hprm."
AS the suffragists have the needed
majority pledged in favor of a plank
for ratification. with several votes to
spare. they therefore hope and believe
that Mr.. Bugbee will keep his promise
and that the Republican platform OF
this year will contain a plank favor
ing ratification similar to that EN-.
bodied in the 1918 platform.

Are You Glad?
By Harvey S. Williams


Are you glad that we won the
war, and that the war is over?
Are you glad that our sacrifice of
the bast of Americas young man.
hood is over, and that now in
stead of facing death at the hands
of the German armies, they are
facing the prospect of returning
to their homes and your hearts?
/ believe every individual in this
district is glad of all these things,
and if you are in that frame of
mind, ynu will be ready to think,
talk, and act about the forthcom-
ing Government loan, which bears
the glorious name of Victory
Loan. VICTORY, with all that
the word implies! All for which
we fought, suffered, and sacrificed
during the years 1917 and 1918!
All the ideals which turned the
most peace-loving nation in the
world into the most powerful war
machine the world has ever seen.
Yes, thank God, it is victory and
peace which we are now asked to
finance, instead of war. You may
ask why. with the victory won,
an additional loan is necessary,
but if you will stop to think for
one minute, you must realize that |
it was won, not by the armies,
ships, guns, munitions, and aero
planes which we had in France,
but by those which we had in
preparation and ready for embark
alton, in a constantly increasing
stream, until our ends should
have been accomplished. 1t was
the certain knowledge that the
vast resources of this country, to
our last dollar, and to our last
drop of blood, had been pledged
to victory, which made the Hun
first bluff, then fear, and finally,
crumble into absolute collapse.
tits Ibis pledge so willingly given,
that the people of this country are
now asked to carry out by SUBJ
scribing to the Victory Loan. Ev-
cry American can and must do
something, no matter how hard
the previous burden has been.
Every man in the American Ex- !
peditionary Force today wants to t
come home, but not one wanted t
to come until the Hun had been
completely whipped, no matter !
what hardships they had TO en-
dure, and we who stayed at home
cannot quit until the bills have J
been paid, the contracts entered
into by our Government redeemed,
and until we can honestly and
truthfully say, before God and
man, I'VE have done our best" =
