In the 10 European republics which | are likely to come 10 life through the dictums of the peace conference the | women will wield a potent hand in | governmental affairs. So predicted ! Mrs Frances Brewer of New York, l personal representative of Mrs. Car i Tie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage association, in an interview at the | Hotel Adams yesterday. Mrs. Brewer has been in Phoenix for the past few days and while here has been address ! ing all the womens clubs and other or ganizations, for the purpose of get l ting them to send epresentatives 10 the national convention of the Amer l ican Woman Suffrage association to be held at St. Louis, March 24-29.
 Beside being of great importance to ! the woman suffrage cause this con- vention will also be in honor of the ! 50th anniversary of the organization ! which Mrs. Brewer represents and which is the oldest in the country with | about 100 100000 members, also it will 1 celebrate the 50th anniversary of wom- | ans suffrage in Wyoming. Mrs. Brew CT has been spending several months 1 in Wyoming. Idaho and Montana, stlr- | ring up interest for this meeting.
 At this big national convention, | there will be organized a council o! women voters and this council will be composed of six sections, indicative of the nature of the work expected of each. The six different sections gre First the industrial protection of women; second, the legal and civil protection of women; third, the moral protection of women; fourth, the in- dustrial education and moral protec- ton of women; fifth. standardization of election laws; sixth, general social welfare which includes men, wom- en and children. Heads Industrial Section
 Mrs. Raymond Robins of Chicago, national president of the Womens Trade Union league, has already been chosen chairman of the first section on the industrial protection of women.
 Mrs. Brewer said that by applying the rule of self determination of peo- ples Co the Slavic portion of the world,
 including Poland, Bohemia, the Bal kans, Jugo- Slavis and nearby regions, it is expected that 10 new republics
 will be given birth by the peace con- ference and that what effects the na- tiOnal suffrage organization the most in this particular is that they looK for the women to be active participants
 in the formation of those governments. An impulse for democracy is follow ing this war as it did the Napoleonic wars, said Mrs. Brewer and the wom-
 en are going to take full advantage of this world wide sentiment. Democracy surely means admitting women to full ] suffrage everywhere, she said and it 1 is expected that the women will be 1 granted the ballot and full voice in af- | fairs of the new republics. The inter national organization of which Mrs.
 Catt is also president is actively en-
 gagged in the work at this time.
 Organize to Win Suffrage
 Mrs. Brewer stated that the inter-
 national organization was prepared to
 immediately organize the women of the proposed nations so as to win suf-
 frage as speedily as possible. Univer-
 sal suffrage will be obtained in the
 new nations. she said, and thus put
 them 9 years ahead politically. She
 also said that she was confident that
 national suffrage is but a matter of
 months in the United States.
 The house has already passed the
 suffrage amendment and but one vote
 is lacking in the United States senate
 and confidence was expressed by Mrs.
 Brewer that the required vote will soon be pledged, but if the amendment
 does not quickly pass, universal sui : frage will be put off at least two
 years, pointed out Mrs. Brewer and what is wanted now is this manifesto , tion of democracy now that the war Of democracy has just been won.
 From Phoenix Mrs. Brewer will visit Tucson. Nogales Bisbee, Douglas and Globe. In all the states where she has
 visited she has delivered a special in- vitation from Mrs. Catt to the wives of
 all the governors of the voting states , to be present at the national conven- tion. Last November Mrs. Brewer was the republican candidate in the 24th
 senatorial district of New York state
 but was defeated because New York : state went straight democratic ticket The organization which Mrs. Brewer represents has no connection with the
 woman's party which pickets the
 White House and burns the presidents s
