raised by newspapers here to the pro-

Carrie Chapman Gait Gives Report
Wants Special Session in Vermont,
New Hampshire, Connecticut, New
Mexico and West Virginia.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 2S.-Govern
or Goodrich announces that he will call
special session of the Legislature for
either the last week in August or the
first in September primarily to ratify
the woman suffrage amendment. He
also said that twenty five of the thirty
five governors whom he asked recently
to join with him in calling special ses-
sions to ratify the amendment have re-
piled they will call extra sessions soon.
The result of the poll, he says indicates
that the amendment will be ratified be-
fore the opening of the next campaign.
The governor made public this tele-
gram received from Carrie Chapman
Gait, president of the National Ameri-
can Women's Suffrage association:
Ratification before presidential cleo
tion assured, provided those agreeing to
special sessions will call them. Fifteen
states have ratified or will ratify very
soon. Legislatures being polled on petit
tion to governors in thirteen states.
Three certain legislatures meet in Janu-
airy, 1920, in regular session. Remain
ing five states necessary to thirty six
are New Hampshire, Vermont, Connect
cut, New Mexico and West Virginia.
Special conditions in each will be
changed when their ratification becomes
necessary to final victory. Am sending
full report by letter. Many thanks for
your earnest cooperation.

ent Covenant.
WASHINGTON, June 2s-Opposition
to binding America to the league of ma
tions as it now stands in the peace treaty
is neither dead nor dormant, and the jubi-
lation of Senator Hitchcock and the other
partisan supporters of the President is
premature.
What is happening is exactly this 1t
was necessary for someone in authority
to shut off debate in the senate on the
league of nations covenant if the appro-
priation bills are to be passed by July l,
and Senator Lodge took upon himself the
responsibility of doing this. He had the
cooperation of Senator Knox, who
agreed that discussion of his resolution
and others of a like character, should be
postponed until after the rush of supply
bills is over Consequently, the senate
measures by next Monday, enabling the
President to add new laurels to his fame
by affixing a wireless signature to them,
so that the fuel which keeps the machln
: cry running will not be cut off suddenly,
| and everything stop until he finds it con
| venient to return.
But in the meantime, the opponents OF
this particular league covenant are not
merely marking time They are devising
ways and means for saving America from
becoming entangled in what they believe
| is likely to prove a European debacle
and for preserving what they conceive to
| be the sovereign rights of the United
States and its traditional policies, even
within a society of nations. To this enc
various plans are being thought out.
The Root letter and the Knox resolu
| ton still furnish the basis for the plans
which are being matured. Section 10 still
remains the crucial test as to whether
! their theories or those of Mr.. Wilson full
fill the obligations which America mus
assume But there are many pitfalls t
be avoided and these the senators arr
taking into their calculations in uakin.
their plans Moreover, there are tw,
schools of thought about which is TIN
best way to handle this matter. Senator
Borah and johnson represent another.
From the standpoint of the first two
one of the chief things to be avoided
any action which will prevent the En-
ropean nations from coming together i
a league or otherwise for the manage
ment of purely European affairs Thes
senators not only believe that the Unite
States has no right to attempt to inte
fere with any plans the powers of FL
rope may have for preserving order upo
the Old World continent, but they ais
believe that the peace of Europe and IL
future of civilization demands it. VIII;
