When the former secretary of the
society, Miss Letha Watts. died in

Daily contact in the offices here and
personal work carried on within the
walls of prisons in all parts of the
country ripened an already existing
friendship into something dearer, and
the coming marriage Is to crown the
romance.
Miss Abbott has been the life and
soul of the society since she became
interested in the work." said Mr..
budding. "She has been my balance

Where Difference Arises.

In an authorized statement by Mr..
Bourne, in behalf of the Republican
Publicity Association" issued today,
opposition to the league of nations IS
proposed a party issue to ne taken
up by the republicans. Chairman VIII
Hays of the republican national COM
mittee has insisted all along that me
league of nations question should NOT
be made party issue, That renupl-
cans are aligned both in favor OF ana
against the league of nations, ana that
the republicans in congress as parry
should confine their party policy 10
perfecting the covenant or the league
along well defined lines.
Chairman Hays has made repeated

weekly letters to country papers and
communications to the metropolitan
press, setting forth policies for the

ceptable to the national committee:
| The national committee, the ON

Fear Colored Women May Vote.

1t is interesting to note that on the
republican side solid delegations
against suffrage come from Pennsyl.
Van1a and Massachusetts in the House
and Pennsylvania and Connecticut in
the Senate. On the democratic side
solid delegations from south Carolina
and Mississippi lined up against the
measure. II Senators Harrison and
Dial vote against suffrage it will mean
that South Carolina and Mississippi
refuse to assist either house of Con

Even Senator Lodge Aids.

That is the reason for the speed of
the republican majority in both
houses of Congress in getting woman
suffrage before the state legislatures.
Even Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets, republican leader and bitter OPP
ponent of suffrage for women, will not
vote for the measure. but at the same
time he Is doing everything he can to
bring about prompt action SO that
his party may derive what credit it
can out OF the contrast between OBJ
struction and Indifference on the part
OF the democrats and quick approval
by the republicans of a reform de-
manded more than a half century by
women of the country.
Southerners Blocked President.
President Wilson saw ahead the in
evitable part woman suffrage would
play in party politics and endeavored
to get the democrats to pass woman
Suffrage while they controlled Con-
gress. But southern democracy was
the obstacle. Western democrats
worked hard to convert their southern
colleagues; told them that it meant
defeat for many of them In the 1918
elections and that the republicans
were maneuvering to put it through
themselves-but all to no avail In
the speech of Senator Pittman of Ne
vada, who charged that the republic
cans had enough votes in the last
session OF Congress- to form a coalition
with the suffrage democrats and pass
the measure through the Senate, as it
already had won in the House.
Mr.: Pittman claimed that the re-
publicans watched the poll of the
democrats and subtracted enough
votes at al times SO as to prevent
victory. This, Senator Smoot. the re-
publican manager Of the poll, vehe-
VIII owere agitating for suffrage kept
putting the responsibility on the
democrats, because they controlled
Doth houses Of Congress, and there it
has remained for the republican party
contributed 81 per cent of it's strength
for suffrage in the House last October
as against 81 per cent of the demo-
cratic votes. while in the House last

Things have not changed much in
the Senate except. that on account of
losses In the last election, republicans
nave taken the place of certain suf-
rage democrats like Shafroth of Colo
fado, While Senators Harrison and
pal or Mississippi and South Caro-
lima, replace Messrs. Vardaman and
Pollock, who were favorable to suf-
rage. 1t is not yet known how SEN
ators Harrison and Dial will vote, but
even II they favor suffrage in the
nnal tally, the democrats will muster
only ~ votes, as against the 80
they had for it in the last session. So
the republicans again will not only
have more votes than the democrats.
but they will contribute enough this
tune TO get more than the necessary
tWo-thirds.
