Full Suffrage
In L. 6. Feb. |.
Says Mrs. Gait
Federal Amendment Will Be
Ratified by SO States
by That Time, Head of
National Body Predicts

The Federal woman suffrage amend
ment will have been ratified by thirty
six states by February l and women
of all states will be enabled to vote in
the Presidential primaries of 1920,
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, president
of the National American Woman Suf-
frage Association, predicted yesterday.
The first primaries take place early
in March in New Hampshire, North
Dakota and South Dakota. Ratitica-
tlon is desired early enough to permit
the necessary printing and other cleo
tlon arrangements.
There are two other reasons, how
ever, which would make early ratitica-
ton matter Of rejoicing among suf-
ragists. First, on February Is occurs
the Tooth anniversary of the birth of
Susan B. Anthony, which sutfragists
wish to celebrate with complete vic
tory; and second, the American suf-
fragists are particularly anxious to
have their emancipation complete it
they meet any German delegates at the
convention Of the international Woman
Suffrage Association in Madrid in April
Invitation to Germans
Mrs. Gait, president of the interna-
tional, admitted yesterday that an in
vitation had been sent to the German
suffragists to send twelve delegates to
the convention. and that the German
government had also been asked to
send an official representative. This is
the procedure observed with all ma
tions at previous conventions.
owe have not received any reply
from the German women. so we do not
know whether they contemplate attend
ing said Mrs. Gait, "but if they do
we do not anticipate any unpleasant
feeling, as all controversial sub jects
will be eliminated from our program.
"Amcrican women, however, do not
wish to be humiliated by having to
confess to the convention that their
government has been slower than that
of their one time enemies in admitting
women to political power"
The women Of Russia, Mrs. Gait said
had also been asked to attend, but she
feared that they would not receive the
invitation.
Fled Bolshevk Menace
"The president of the Russian Suf-
frage Association" she said, "has not
been heard from since the Bolsheviki
came INTO power. Raymond Robins
told me that he made inquiries in
Petrograd and learned that she and
many other prominent suffragists had
fled during the Bolshevik uprisings.
She was a physician, who during the
war had charge of Il large military
hospital and was made Il Cabinet Of
ficcr under Kerensky."
The burden of Mrs. Cats talk was
about the hardness of western suf-
frage states in ratifying the Federal
amendment. 1t was to plead with these
states to speed up that Mrs. Gait sac
rificed her vote in New York this fall
and made a siX-wcek tour of the
West, from which she has just re-
turned

Of sacred contractual obligation be-

"The idea Of having some of the best
brains in the party work for six months
in the evolution of platform is. in
harmony with the action of the COM
mittee in selecting council of twenty
four men and women twelve OF whom
are members of the national committee
and twelve not members Of the ma

The Wood hackers, as has already

inspired, it has just been learned, by a
confidential report made to the COM

Hays's Report Praised
This report outlined the work of the
national organization during the year
just passed. 1t rected the efforts put
forward in all the by-elections, which
were so generally Republican victories,
and in the states which had elections
with a national significance in No
vcmber.
The report was strictly confidential,
Mr.. Hays said. when asked about it,
but the committeeman have been loud
in their praise of it ever since and
some details have leaked out
The report told, for instance, of the
| interest taken by the national organi-
zation in the by-election in Oklahoma,
where Republican was elected in d
very heavy Democratic district, of the
work of the Alabama election, where
big normal Democratic majority was
cut to a few hundred. In discussing
these elections and those in New York,
Massachusetts. Kentucky and else
where in the November contests, the
report went into details with unusual
IranknesS Tor such document, it was
said by the committeeman. Many Of
them expressed approval of this man
nuer of accounting for the stewardship
by Mr.. Hays, and aIl'seemed to admire
the thoroughness with which the Job
was done by Mr.. Hays and his assist
ants

and differ on many things But Mr..
Smoot is an intensely valuable man in

of Utah, who have shown dangerously
Democratic drift in the last few cleo

America Out of Plight
Rests With Republicans,
Says National Chairman
Outlines Platform Task
90 Advisers to Include IL
Members of His Commit
tee and About so Others

chairman of the Republican National
Committee. addressing gathering of
Republicans tonight, said the pro-
posed committee on policies and plat
form authorized by the national COM
mittee in Washington last week would
consist of about sixty representative
men and women. Chairman Hays and
other Republican leaders believe that
the size Of the committee and the char
acter and standing of those who will
compose it will allay the fears and still
the criticism of some of the Progress
sives, who seemed alarmed last week
lest the Progressives may not be suffi-
cieAtly represented in the councils Of
the party.
Chairman Hays first explained the
Organization of the council of twenty
four members authorized at the Wash
{ sir gton meeting. He said that twelve
would be chosen from the membership
/ of the national committee and twelve
4 from outside the committee, and that
flour Of the latter would be women.
"Out in the Slough"
Continuing, Mr.. Hays said:
\ "The committee on policies and plat
Storm will consist of about sixty rep
Sresentative men and women. On this
Acommittee will be the twelve membrs
#of the national committee who are on
Ethe council, and approximately fifty
kothers, men and women, not on the
keommittee, Senators and Congressman
Hand representatives of al groups in
Interest in the country, including labor
Hlusiness, farmer, etc.
"The purpose OF the formation of
Ethis committee is to obtain platform
8sugge stions for the consideration of
Ethe resolutions committee at the con-
8sention from all representative ele-
Elaents of the Republican party, which
Emeans all representative elements of
EAmerican good citizenship.

Ssreat fact, which the national commit

&. possibility of lifting America out of

administrative way the most comprehen-
