.Jubilavst Over Victory
Foresight in Early Organization
Is Ciren Credit for the Tvi-
uDeph; Workers Encouraged

Republican women were jubilant
yesterday over the great part played
by the women of Maine in the sweep
ING Republican victory. They pre-
dicted that it would give impetus to
the organization of women in other
states where they have been en-
franchised suddenly by ratification of
the Federal amendment.
Miss Helen Varick Boswell, who has
just returned from the Maine cam
paign, said it was the well-pIanned
organization of the Maine women
which was responsible for the election
results.
The Republicans began to prepare
months ago for the election in Port
land and the surrounding counties"
Miss Boswell said "Mrs. James T.
Jack was placed in charge of the work.
Later Mrs. Guy Gannett, wife of the
national committeeman, went through
other counties and organized. AS a
result the women not only worked
with the men, but voted themselves at
the election and saw to it that their
neighbors did.
"My trip through Maine showed be-
yond doubt that the Republican party
uOeS dlITdCI the woman vote. when
the women analyze what the Demo-
cratic party has done and what the
Republican party has done they find
little difficulty in making a choice.
Women in politics are going to be a
constructive force. The Republican
party has a record for constructive
work. Therefore, they choose that
party"
"The big percentage of women vet
ing against the Wilson League Of Ma
tions is significant. Women want
some sort of league, but they want a
league that will leave Americas self
respect unimpaired."
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, who was
chairman Of the Republican Women's
National Executive Committee when
the women of Maine were first or
ganzed, expressed her delight at the
extent to which Maine women had
voted Republican.
ut was more than a year ago." she
said, when 1 was first placed on the
national committee and given charge
of the work in the eastern states,
that sent an organizer, Mrs. Betsg
Edwards, of Indiana, into Maine. I
knew the Federal amendment was
going to be ratified in time for the
Presidential elections, and 1 wanted
the Republican women to be ready
for it,"

FROM a STAFF Corresponden


MARION, Ohio, Sept. 1.-THE Re-
will have a strong influence on the
campaign plans of Senator Harding. 1t
is believed here that the result is a
clear indication of the feeling through
out the country. Senator Harding, it is
now believed, will not make a swing
through the Far West.
Governor Stephens, of California, in
his talks with the candidate yesterday
and to-day, gave him detailed account
Of the political situation in Senator
Johnson's state. Governor Stephens,
before his departure tonight, said:
~ told Senator Harding that we
had California sewed up for him. 1t
would be foolhardy for him to waste
don't need him out here. He can
spend his time more proftably else
where. [ think he agrees with me.
We want to see him in California
very much, but we can wait awhile
longer
There were reports about Harding
headquarters tonight that in view If
Governor Stephenss argument the
candidates most westerly speech
would be either in South Dakota or
Oklahoma.
senator Harding received many tele
grams this morning, foretelling from
the Maine election omens for the sue
cess of the Republican national ticket.
Governor Coolidge wired
The State of Maine folks, like forty
to fifty thousand Republicans, judge
nothing can prevent your election"
From Frederick H. Parkhurst, Gov
ernor-elect of Maine: I'VE have in
dorsed your candidacy with a Republi-
can majority of over $4,000. Will send
definite details later"
New-York tribune., 1920-09-15

and refused to ratify the Federal suf
frage amendment, the Governor sum-
moned the legislators to meet again
next Tuesday noon. He said the Ten
nessee action, with women voting in
November, possibly illegally, threw
doubt and uncertainty on the election
of the President, Senator's and Repre-
sentatives,' state officials and others,
all OF which would be disastrous to the
business interests of the country and
would add to the general unrest

Only $4,000 Spent
By Hays Committee
For Maine Victory
State Chairman Ham Denies.
Charge by Democrats That
Large Surns Were Used
by Republican Leaders

Campaign speakers returning yes
terday from Maine said that Chairman
Frank J. Ham, of the Maine Republi-
can State Committee, is prepared to
show that the State Committee received
only $25, 1000 from the National Com
mittee with which to get out the vote
on election day, as against $4,000
spent by the Democrats four years ago.
Chairman White. of the Democratic
National Committee. said yesterday
that the Republicans OF Maine spent
tens and perhaps hundreds OF thou
sands Of dollars in the battle which
ended so disastrously for the Demo-
Gratis Monday night. 1t is understood
that Chairman Ham will file his sworn
statement Of campaign expenses within
a few days.
1t was admitted yesterday by local
Democrats that the failure Of the
Democratic national and state COM
mittees to organize the women voters
in Maine was a fatal error. After
ratification of the suffrage amend
ment, the democrats woke up to the
fact that their women folks had quit
them and become Republicans.
The suspicion that Governor Cox is
at heart a wet and dominated by
Charles F. Murphy, Norman E. Mack,
James Nugent, Thomas Taggart. Bren-
nan Of Chicago, ali Of whom are
avowed vets, made it easy for the Re-
publican women to get their naturally
Democratic sisters away from the or
ganization suspected Of being wet.
1t is understood that the Senate
committee of INJURY into political ex-
penditures will hold sessions here at
an early day and that Mr.. Ham and
Chairman Lewis Brann of the Maine
Democratic State Committee, will be
asked to tell about the handling Of
money in the Maine election.
Chairman Hays is ready for any such
inquiry and so are the Kcpuolicau
leaders Of Maine.

The ratification of the Federal suf-
frage amendment by Connecticut was
hailed joyously by New York suf-
fragists yesterday, although it was
classified as a humorous incident rather
than as vital contribution to the suf-
frage victory.
of the National American Woman Suf-
frage Association, said last night that
she had been expecting just this sur
prise when the Connecticut Legis-
lature convened.
at will not affect ratification at ALL"
she said, "but l rejoice for the sake Of
the Connecticut women suffragists, who
have labored long and patiently in the
face of great hardships. The figures of
to-day's vote are the fruits Of their
works.
LAS for the legal tangle in which the
anti-suffragists of Tennessee have in
volved us it remains to be seen whether
they will continue the cases. If they
enjoy long drawn out and utterly hope
less legal contests I suppose they will.
If they do. of course, the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
will continue to fight the cases."

The Governor declared that the regu-

January 8, and adjourned May 8, 1919,
and that it then terminated the exist

act on general business when sum-
moned for specific purpose. He said
any such action would be exceeding
the constitutional power and be void.

this campaign. Bat neither pyrotechnics

when Col. Taylor was in favor of
force, when force and violence were
mighty good things; that is, when
Col. Taylor wanted to take the cleo

The speaker explained that the
state police bill simply gave the gov
ernor. the authority to call out state
militia, members of which have been
made members Of the state police, in
order to protect lives and property.
When l was first indicted into
office" said Gov. Roberts, there was
no such power lodged in the goverL
NOR, the courts having declared the
state constabulary bill unconstitu-
tional. A man could then have been
dragged by a mob to Capitol Hill
and there hanged without the gov
ernor of the state being able to in
terfere. This bill gives the COVER
nor the power to interfere.
Il believe that any state governor
that is too impotent or too weak to
guarantee the rights of life, liberty
and property'to it's citizens is not en-
titled to respect.

Tennessee that so long as l am gov
ernor l will use every agency at my

his audience including many women.
The speaker was especially strong
on law enforcement.
| Senator Douglas Wikle presented
Gov. Roberts to the audience as the
accredited standard bearer of the

principal objections urged against

THE question of maintaining law
said Gov Roberts, lis fundamental

OXFORD WINS IN
CENSUS RECOUNT
New Point Raised in Fight to
Evade Governors
Order.

OXFORD, Miss, Oct. FIT was
made known here today that the
director of the census bureau at
Washington has announced the final
census report on the population of
oxford and that the announcement
credited the municipality with pop
ulation of 2,150 instead of 1858, as
was credited in the preliminary re-
port of the census bureau given
out some months ago.
The situation at oxford, because
of the preliminary report of the
census bureau showing a decrease in
population to less than 1000, the aC
ton of the governor of the state fol-
' lowing this announcement, the prin-
ciples involved and the resistance
that he met with, has become an in
teresting one.
1t will be recalled that some time
in August Gov Russell issued a
proclamation "demoting" Oxford, his
home, to a town because, it is be-
lieved, the preliminary census re-
port showed its population to be
only 1858. The proclamation named
provisional officers to serve Under
aldermanic form of government,
whereas, the existing government
was of the commission form. The
old officers refused to surrender
their places to the newly appointed
officers and Gov Russell, on behalf
of the state of Mississippi. instituted
quo warranto proceedings against
the old officers in the circuit court
Of Lafayette county. resulting in a
Judgment for the state, from which
the defendants appealed with super
SedeaS to the supreme court.
1t Is understood that this case,
which seems to have attracted state
wide attention, will come up before
the supreme court for hearing Nov.
Il. Just what effect the official
census report which has just been
issued will have upon the legal as
pect of the case is awaited with in
terest. In the meantime oxford
seems to be in the situation of
city population and a town by proc
