duction that he is the very man our country needs just now. He is in hearty sympathy, too, with suffering humanity across the sea. He rightly interprets the will of our people to complete the task so splendidly be- gun on the fields of France. He also may be trusted to conserve Ameri- can freedom of choice and not to blindly deliver us to European dip lomacy.
 His success in life is proof that he understands the value of sound, clear-headed, practical advisers. He has no aim to be the star that shines alone.
 If our campaign managers will emphasize the facts as they are; if they will enlighten our voters with out condescending to vituperation if they will make clear the principles we are contending for: in short, if they will be guided by the determina- tion to make this fight for all that is highest, soundest, and most worthy in American idealism and if they will continue to fight until the day before election; the election of MT. Hard ing is a foregone conclusion.

 "As 1 am .lct 2 candidate for that off ce, and have no illusions on the subject of such nomination and do not consider it possible, my views from any such standpoint are of no consequence whatever.
 "As one of the mass of our citi- zens, l have no hesitancy in replying to your request.
 "While I have for a long time been in favor of female suffrage and favor the ratification of the fed eral suffrage amendment, I must frankly say that I do not think the existing situation constitutes the special emergency contemplated by our state constitution, which auth orized the executive to convene the general assembly in special session, and therefore must place the consti- tutional provision higher than my own personal desire.
 Yours very truly,

THE SUFFRAGE TANGLE

Those who favor and those op- posed to woman suffrage have done more or less thinking during the past week due to the conflict of opinions regarding the enfranchise- ment of women as expressed by a former suffragette and the demo- cratic presidential nominee. The latter urged the state of Louisiana to Immediately pass the suffrage measure, while the former in a let ten to the governors of two states urged them to maintain their stand refusing to call for special session of the legislatures.
 This was of sufficient interest to be given considerable space on the front pages of large daily papers, but to add to situation, the gover- to call special sessions of their legis- Iatures.,' Thus it will be seen that the female sex interested in this serious question have been experi- encing varied emotions, while their cause has been altered for the bet ter little if any.
 The letter from the former suff- rage leader is surely of interest and printed herewith:
 ''I was one of the prominent workers who helped to bring suffrage to California, and I re- gret it.
 "A year in politics has taught me that women are intolerant, radical, revolutionary and more corrupt in politics than men; also all this so-called reform leads to the socialist cooperative common wealth.
 "Since suffrage there has beer an alarming increase in immoral ity, divorce and murder in Cali fornia.
 Woman suffrage has made towards and puppets of men. It has coarsened and cheapened women. Were the men to vote on woman suffrage in California today it would not carry.
 "Suffragists asked suffrage that > they might put only good men in office; now they clamor for 5O- 50 show for. all offices.
 "I shall do penance forever for the part I played in bringing suffrage in California.
 "Please urge your colleagues not to do what will bring regret and disaster, but to stand for that 90 per cent of women who do not want suffrage, but are glad to trust all politics and government tai affairs to the loved husbands, fathers, sons and brothers.
 "To the south, woman suffrage would bring more than calamity"
 Where are those men who said there was no argument against woman suffrage? Certainly the foregoing letter offers argument sufficient to convince any man or woman either, if it is the truth and we, see no reason why she would write thus if she had not experienced any of the things of which she writes.
 The request of Governor Cox, However, urging Louisiana to pass the suffrage measure, is of vital in- terest. Here we have a man who may be the next president of the United States, urging a state whose population consists of a large pro- portion of colored people, uneduca- ted, ignorant in many respects and easily led! Would such action by
Connecticut western news., 1920-07-22

this state improve conditions locally or nationally? We hardly think so and there are undoubtedly many of the same opinion, yet request of this nature coming from a presiden- tial nominee must have some weight, causing some to hesitate and question his judgment.

The Democratic Party, writes DR..
Charles w. Eliot, President Emeritus
Of Harvard, in the October issue Of
the Atlantic Monthly, lis far the more
trustworthy party for the promotion
of progressive ideas in government,
politics and Improvement of all So
cial, commercial and industrial or
ganizations. s5
Discussing "The Voters Choice in
the Coming Election" DR.. Eliot char
acterizes the Senators who defeated
ratification as extraordinarily mar
row minded and selfish. Saying the
Republican Party has turned its
back on its own principles of 1860
and 1S98," DR.. Eliot remarks:
.This deplorable change Of front is
a deep modification and distress to
all patriotic Americans, Republican or
Democratic, and particularly those
who remember the ideals for which
the Republican Party was founded to
contend for, and which led it to
glorious victories"

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD.

The Federal Reserve Board, backed
by the Treasury Department, has been
refusing aid to wool growers, stock
men aid farm associations. This is in
line with the Boards policy and seems
quite right to us, looking at the mat
ter in large light. Deflation is bound
to come, and it is a question whether
is shall be attended by real panic
or whether prices shall be eased off
gradually.
Secretary Houston, outlining the
Governments attitude, said that re-
quests for credit could not be listened
to where the aid might mean pres
ervation of high price levels. Many
persons who complain Of the restrict-
i've policies of the Federal Reserve
Board, said he, wish credit SO that
they can hold their commodities for
higher prices. Under these circum-
stances the Government could not lend
its aid without becoming a party to
a. conspiracy against the consumer.
Credit for the marketing of commod-
flies may be had from the local banks,
Gov. Harding, OF the Federal Reserve
Board, told applicants.
This is the first big. test OF the
Federal Reserve Act in this respect.
We all know the old National Bank
system was found insufficient to ward
off jaundiced business periods. Now
It looks as il the Federal Reserve
System is going to prove a great i'm
provement Perhaps we will see chang

LORD GkEY's IRISH PROPOSAL

(From New York WORLDLY
Viscount Grey's proposed solution
Of the Irish question is the recogni-
tion of the islands independence and
right Of self-rule in all things except
foreign policy and the army and navy.
This is the dominion form Of govern
ment so ably advocated by Sir Horace
PlunKett and other Irishmen who ap-
preciate the importance of national
defense for themselves as well as for
England.
"A system working admirably in
other parts OF the British Empire,
without which that colossal organiza-
tion would have been rent assunder
long since, might even now have been
in operation in Ireland were it not
for the prejudices of race and religion,
intensified by the laundering incapac-
ity of the Imperial Government to
deal with the situation. Lord Grey
says truly that ireland has never
been such a reproach to British states
manship as it is to-day" and the root
of the trouble is the failure of that
so-called craftsmanship to apply its
own well-tried and approved princi-
pies to a situation close at hand.
An ADJUSTMENT Of this kind, easily
to have been arrived at year ago,
presents many difficulties now, when
extremists are resorting to violence
and compromise is everywhere flout.

given an opportunity for reflection
and cancellation, factions and parties,

far as an influential section OF Brit
iish liberal opinion is concerned.

were against everyone else. They
undertook to dictate the Chicago pro-
cedure, and they succeeded quite well.
Now Borah has assumed the dictator's
role again, and, chances are, he will
be appeased in some manner.
With Rocks ahead, the pilots OF the
grand old crowd will unite in a des-
perate and all-forgiving effort to keep
the ship off the breakers. They will
administer the soothing syrup to Wild
Bill from Idaho. 1t is barely possible
that they even may call off the Taft
tour.
What is vaudeville for the popu-
lace at large rapidly is becoming
tragedy for the republican campaign
helmsmen.
