WIZ DEMOCRACY APPEALS
10 THE WOMAN VOTERS
Records Of Achievements Gives
Assurance OF Future
Progress

Mrs. John X. Ottley, Associate
Democratic National Committee
woman for Georgia and a member
of the Executive Committee of the
National Committee, in a recent APP
peal to the Democrats of her State
said
"Ag a lifelong Democrat, am
proud to stand upon the record of
the Democratic administration just
drawing to a close. Being composed
of human beings, | suppose 1t has
not been infallible, but the consider
alton of its errors we msy confident
ly entrust to the opposition party.
Democracy has great story to
tell, and it is the sort of a story that
appeals to the American people.
The reactionary policies of the Re-
publican party are not what the
American people want. On the 9TH
er hand, they do not desire the ex-
IRENE radicalism which fights vain
ly first under one third party BAN
ner and then another. What they
do want is a liberal party with a
record of practical. forward-looking
achievement, and a promise of flu
ture progress in the same direction.
This is what the Democratic par
ty has to offer, and il we are united
in it's presentation. the American
people will show in 1920, as they
did in 1916, that their wishes lie
that way. Women especially want
the things that the Democratic par
ty stands for. They proved that in
1916 by throwing the election to
the Democrats and Woodrow Will
son. We have more than fulfilled
their trust, and today II, 600
American women have Presidential
suffrage, over and beyond the o.
100000 who will be added by the
ratification of the Federal amend
ment. These women have a voice
in choosing 339 of the electoral col
lege, which is nearly two-thids of
it's total. In a very large measure,
these continuance in power of the
Democratic party"

THE SPRING DRIVE

The whistle will blow on May II.
On that day 1900 batteries will
open up simultaneously on the ex-
tended front between the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans. On that day
the 5000 posts of The American
Legion will go into action on a
common zero hour.
They are going to capture as
many as possible of the three and
a half million odd former service
men who are not members of The
American Legion.
The drive will start May II and
end May 22. National Headquar-
ters has designated this period as
Membership Week. Every one of
the 5000 posts is expected to line
up for the jumpoff, to keep going
in spite of difficulties of the terrain
and not to stop until the day de-
signated for consolidating the gain.
Forty-nine Departments will go
over the top together. In each de-
partment the state organization will
be responsible for the drive within
its Jurisdiction. Generalship and
staff work will have full play, put
it will be the driving power of the
regiments and companies on the
city and county lines which will
directly produce the new members.
The campaign will show the COM
parative power of accomplishment
of The American Legion in each of
the forty-nine departments. Each
State will be judged by the show
ing it makes. The pride of post and
State should be the same sort of
fighting pride which mae I'VE
American division-every regiment
defend and uphold it's reputation
always. Each post, each State will
be relied upon to hold it's own in
the totals of the new members OBJ
tanned between May II and May 22.

PRESENT CONGRESS '
has SORRY RECORD
Has Been in Session Almost
SYear-Has Accomplished
Nothing Constructive

Washington, d. C.-Only about
.thi4y working days remain of this
session of Congress, IL the plan OF
the Republican leaders for a recess
or adjournment early in June is fol-
lowed.
Three or four appropriation bills
must yet be considered by both the
House and Senate; the House Ways
and Means Committee is endeavor-
ing to formulate a program for ad-
ustment of the pay of returned sol
diers; the House Committee on I'M
migration is considering the advisa-
bility of adding to the restrictions
of the existing immigration law,
and the Senate has before 1t the
proposal to create budget system.
This is about all the work il appears
Congress will attempt to dispose of.
Granting that budget legislation
will be approved and that a bill for
adjusted compensation for soldiers
will get through, the record for
thirteen months of this Congress
will be:
Passed annual appropriation meas
ures. which must be enacted yearly
for the Government to function and
which should not require more than
two months of the time of any Con-
gress.
Passed railroad bill, which ac-
tually held the attention of Congress
as a whole about ten days.
Budget legislation, which should
not require more than two weeks.
Soldier adjusted compensation
legislation which should require
not more than one week.
Much Time Wasted
In all, the work done by this
Congress should not have required
more than five months of real and
sincere effort. But thirteen months
of Congress, divided in two sessions,
will have beeS required to pass
this legislation.
OF course, the Congressional Rec
ord will be filled with discussions of
private bills, etc., but it will be
quantity record" and is really a
record of problems avoided and of
almost complete success in the plan
to do nothing. This was the plan
of the Republican leaders when this
session was convened, because of
the desire, for partisan reasons, to
postpone consideration of all i'm
portant matters until after the Nov
ember election.
From good Republican authority
comes the admission that the Con-
graS has done nothing. In a speech
on the floor of the House recently,
Representative Fuller, Of Massachu-
sets, expressed the fervent wish
tHa his party might be cured from
the attack of sleeping sickness
which he declared it has suffered
from ever since it came into control
of both branches of Congress. He
declared that it had done nothing
constructive, but had devoted the
larger part of its time to criticism of
the President.

Washington, Feb. Traditional
anti-sedition legislation, simple in
character and guarding the guar
antees of the bill of rights but COW
ering the hiatus in present statute
ry laws, was urged by Attorney
General Palmer today before the
house judiciary committee.
UNFOLDING the right of free
speech and constructive criticism,
the attorney general protested
against pending measures which he
said were too drastic and far
reaching and so searching that
they overreach their purposes. =
More harm than good would come
from repressive legislation, he add
ed.
Reviewing the activity of the de-

radicalism, Mr.. Palmer told the
committee that vigor with which
his department had acted together

the strong and positive intention OF
the government to punish crimes

"But there is no existing statute
adequate to meet the present sit

mittee. There is condition of
revolutionary intent in the country
on the part of both aliens and citi-
zens which is sufficiently wide
spread to merit serious considera-
ton of congress. This revolution
ary intent is manifested chiefly by
threats, both written and spoken,
by persons who would iniure, de-
stroy or overthrow the gvernment
by physical force or violence.
Citizens rights should always be
guarded, Mr.. Palmer said, adding
that he agreed with those who crit

this ground. But | do not agree
with those who object to the bill

Two bits of testimony given today
in the trial of Senator Truman H..
Newberry and six score Michigan
politicians, were considesed by
government attorneys as important
to the charge of conspiracy which
they are seeking to establish.
James Sweinhart, head of the
New York bureau of a Detroit
newspaper, related that Frederick
Cody, a defendant. told him in New
York, "the lid Is off in Michigan
and the sky Is the limit"
Walter Chappelle, editor of a

chairman in the Newberry organl-

Eighteen Witnesses Testify.
The eighteen witnesses on the
stand today practically all testified
in the face of a general objection
by the defense. This objection en-
tered as witness after witness took
the stand, and overruled by the
court, was to the effect that the
government had failed to prove
that conspiracy existed to vio-
late the federal election and pos
tai laws, and that therefore the in
dividual acts of defendants could
not be offered in evidence at this
stage, of the proceedings.
Federal Judge Sessions held that
government counsel had a right to
marshal their testimony as they
saw fit.
The government forces were in
turn frequently overruled when
they tried TO confine cross eXaml-
