SAYS SUFFRAGE
HNOT YET WON
Governor Sproul Tells Wo-
men They Must Con
Vince the People

Philadelphia, Nov. 11.-Governor
Sproul, addressing the delegates to
the State convention of the Pengsyl-
vania Woman's Suffrage Association
at dinner here last night, reminded
them that although Pennsylvania had
ratlfled the universal suffrage amend
ment, their work was not done and
that they had still to convince the
people and the Legislature that they
should be given suffrage in state
elections. He said he had little doubt
that this would be accomplished as
rapidly as the Importance of the
issue would warrant.
Governor Sproul expressed con-
Germ at the reports from New York
that certain leaders in one branch
of suffrage activities were contem-
plating the organization of sep
arate and distinct woman's party.
Nothing affecting one class of citi-
zenship in this country, whether that
classification is by sex, by useful
ness. by material possessions or vo-
cational position, he said, could fail
would be entirely unwise, in fact, al
most destructive, if the women of
the country should set up shop by
them selves and undertake anything
like party founded only upon sex
prejudices.
Constructive humanitarianism is
the great opportunity for women in
politics. he said. and it will be a
great disappointment, indeed, sad
day for political reformers in Amer
lea if women should take a selfish
and sordid view of politics and at
tempt to capitalize their greater in
fluence and privileges for individual.
sex or class selfishness."

women of the country affiliate them
selves with existing political par
