Democratic Waste

So long as it was in power the Dem
ocratic Congress co-operated with the
President in reckless spending of pub
lie money. Not until Republicans
were given a majority in Congress did
the riot of extravaganza conn to a
halt, and the check was imposed by
the Republican Congress in spite of
the efforts of the administration to
continue it's profigacy. Two and a
half billions of dollars of savings are
credited to the Republican Congress-
West Jersey Press.
There has been much reckless spend
ing in all wars, but the boys did not get
any embalmed beef as in the Spanish
American War. The fighting was
ended when the Republican Congress
came into office and it was time to
cease extravaganza, but the Republi-
can Congress should have been honor
able enough to pay our good Republi-
can Assemblyman and others for their
land taken for war purposes, for the
Delaware Ordnance Depot, as a just
debt and not turned it back into the
treasury. 1t was done to discredit the
administration. If there had been a
Democratic Congress the land would
have been paid for before this, and
the Peace Treaty would have peer rat
fled.
It is the biggest piece of peanut pol
itics ever in the history of the nation.

Not Looking For A Job

The editor of the Penns Grove Rec
ord deserves a job. He ought to be
given a place in President Wilson's
cabinet. He says that three years ago
he published that Woodrow Wilson
will be the first World President. He
is equal to the job" That must be
sweet music to the Presidents ear
w. j. Press.
We thank our exchange editor for
thinking we are equal to a position in
President Wilson's cabinet. We are
not seeking a job nor position as we
have enough business of u own to
attend to as a recorder of occurring
facts of history.
Has not our prediction come true :?
Woodrow Wilson is credited with hav-
ing the most influence in formulating
the Versailles Peace Treaty which
contains the League of Nations. AS
James Madison is called the Father of
the U. S. Constitution, Woodrow Will
son will go down in history as the
father of the Worlds Constitution. He
has called the first meeting of the
League of Nations to meet in Geneva,
Switzerland, next November. He is
more qualified and deserving to the
first to preside over it than any man
in the world.
Every true American should be
proud Of it, but green-eyed envy, and
party prejudice is consuming much
patriotism of the greatest free people
on the earth.

If James NJ. Cox does not get elect
ed President he will go down in his
tory as coming a new word, New
berryize.' Truman H. Newberry was
elected U. S. Senator owe Henry
Ford, Michigan, in 1918, by an adj
mitted expenditure of $175,000 and
estimated at $500,000. His vote gave
the Republicans a majority to organ
ize and stop the ratification of the
Peace Treaty. Senator Newberry is
now under conviction of the Court for
buying his election but holds onto his
seat. The report that the Republicans
hope to raise S15,00O,0 900 to carry the
election of a President led Mr.. Cox to
say they intended to "Newberryize"
the Nation. Boycott and many other
common words have ben coined from
the circumstances connected with per-

BIG BUSINESS FOUGHT
Mrs. Cats Told of Their Triumph
Over Invisible Government

The story of the effort of the I'm
visible Government" to prevent the
ratification of the amendment to the
Federal Constitution enfranchising
women was told by Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, president of the National
Suffrage Association, and aptly des-
cribed as the "great statesman of the
woman's suffrage movement" before
a magnificent audience in Polls
Theatre in Washington, D. c., Thurs
day, August 26th.
The newspapers of the country de-
voted much space to the triumph OF
suffrage. They printed President
Wilson's message and the Secretary of
State Colby's proclamation, they de-
scribed the tears and cheers of the
women, but they were strangely silent
concerning the most important feature
of all-the charge by Mrs. Gait, made
deliberately, yet with wonderful dra-
matte force, that certain great corpo-
rate interests had endeavored to de-
feat the amendment.
Mrs. Gait Tells the Story
Mrs. Gait took charge of the fight
in Tennessee. She was on the ground,
she saw the lobbyist at work, she
knew the interests they represented,
and she discovered why this sinister in
fuence was being used to prevent the
enfranchisement of 27,000,000 women
voters.
"The horrors of the struggle" Mrs.
Gait told the audience in Polls Thea
tire, twill remain with me for years.
"The railroad lobby was there, the
steel trust lobby was there, the whis-
ky ring lobby was there, the president
of the manufacturers association was
on the ground, fighting as though his
life depended on the issue.
Tactics of the Opponents
"a large majority of the members
Of the house of the Tennessee legis-
lature had publicly promised to sup
port ratification, but | saw member
after member change front over night.
The speaker of the house, who had
voluntarily offered to support the rati-
.fication committee, who had conferred
with US as to ,ie, best way to proceed,
who had vottgqr = give the women of
Tennessee the Iffrage, suddenly went
over to the enemy and became one of
out bitter opponents.
"The governor of Tennessee was
told he would be destroyed politically
if he did not obey the commands of
the lobby. Attempts were made to
members of the legislature,
were told that the lobby had
affidavits revealing hidden chapters in
their private lives, and two members
called on the telephone by men
who cajoled and coerced them in an
endeavor to comnel to change

enough on election day to re-elect its

The Invisible Government

These lobbyists came from the
North as we'll as the South. They
came from Ohio, Pennsylvania and
New England. No charge was too
vile for them to make.
eve have made many fights for
suffrage, but lever before were we
made to feel the force and influence
of the invisible government
"Why did the steel corporation, the
railroad combine, the whiskey ring and
the Manufacturers Association COM
bine to keep the ballot from women ?"
Mrs. Gait appealed to the ome to
dedicate themselves to the task of de-
stroying this sinister influence in
American life.
"We must resolve" she said, "to
overthrow this invisible government
which coerces governors, robs legis-
lators of their manhood, and brazenly
nullifies the will of the people"
Conspiracy Almost Succeeded
"Big Business" sent its combined
lobbyists into Tennessee to defeat rat
ifcation because it wanted to save the
political lives of Senator Brandegee, of
Connecticut; Senator Dillingham;, of
Vermont and Senator Moses of New
Hampshire. These three Senators
are members of the inner ring in the
United States Senate. They are the
petted darlings of special privilege.
They bitterly opposed the Federal
suffrage amendment, and the women
of their States are known to be OPP
the reactionaries of the Republican
and Democratic parties agreed that
the ratification of the suffrage amend
ment should be postponed until after
the coming election, so that the three
Senators named might be returned to
their places in the American house of
lords.
The conspiracy almost succeeded.
Ratification carried in the Tennessee
house Of representatives by one vote.
That vote was cast by a youth from
the mountains of East Tennessee who
was only "a years old. He resisted
the Establishments of the lobbyists be-
cause he had received a letter from
his mother urging him to "be a good
boy" and to "help Mrs. Gait put the
rat in ratification.
Last Gasp of the L. & n.
The opponents of suffrage finally at
tempted to defeat ratification by
breaking a quorum in the house of
representatives. Thirty-six members
left the State and sought refuge in
Alabama. In the meantime the rail-
road combine secured an order from
the Tennessee Court restraining the
governor from certifying ratification.
Fortunately, the governor was enabled
to induce another judge to temporarily
nullify the first court order. Taking
advantage of this situation Governor
Roberts certified to Secretary of State
Colby that suffrage had been ratified
and Colby issued the necessary procla-
nation.
Now the matter will be carried to
the Supreme Court of the United
States, but in the great majority of
the states the women will vote.
