Held in Allegiance

Plans for the democratic national
abeyance by Governor James M. Cox,
the candidate for president, pending
the arrival from San Francisco Of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the vicer
presidential candidate, and members or
the subcommittee of the nationaf
committee for the first conference
with the presidential nominee. The
place Of the conference is not yet
determined. 1t may not be held before
Monday.
To Select Manager
Mr.. Cox has given no intimation as
to whom he wants for campaign man
ager. 1t is known, however, that many
OF his friends are urging the selection
of E. H. moore of youngstown, Ohio,
the governors pre-convention manager
to whom the nominee is known TO give
much Of the credit for the final
action of the San Francisco conven.
ton. Whether Mr.. Moore wuld ac.
cept the position or like Harry X.
Daugherty, Senator Hardings pre-con-
vention manager, step aside for some
other person, may not be known un-
til his return from San Francisco.
Ohio the battle-ground
Inasmuch as Ohio is to be the
chief battle-ground in the campaign
both candidates being from the same
state, some of the governors friends
say it is imperative that manager
be chosen who is thoroughly ac-
quainted with political conditions in
the state. They admit that Homer y.
Cummings, chairman OF the nauonai
committee and who is being urged
in some quarters, position would be
a good man fr the place, but because
of the expected battle in the Buck
eye state, they feel that Mr.. Moore
is the logical man to manage this
campaign.
Confers With Tumulty
Whether Governor Cox has de-
cided the question Of selection of q
manager with any of the leaders is
not known.
The governor has intimated that ho
may go to Washington in the near
futuVe to confer with President VIII
son. 1t is known that he has had
number of conversations over the
telephone with Secretary Tumulty
during the past few days,

The Court and the Amendment.

If the Tennessee house does not re-
verse itself on reconsideration, the
nineteenth amendment will be pro-
claimed as ratified. 1t will then be
part of the fundamental law of the
land, unless it is decreed invalid by
the Supreme Court, to which appeal
is to be made to prevent proclamation.
This appeal is based on the ground
that the Tennessee legislature was
barred by the state constitution from
acting at the present session, inasmuch
as no general election had occurred in
the state since the submission of the
amendment.
This question now turns upon the
view of the court on the point of
state limitations upon the power of
the legislature to ratify constitutional
amendments. The court has already
held in the liquor eases that no state
referendum law is valid, inasmuch as
the federal Constitution itself pro-
vides that ratification shall be by the
legislatures" Of the states, and by no
other agency. The Tennessee pro-
vision, it is now held by those who
contest the validity Of the thirty
sixth vote, does not infringe upon the
right of the legislature to exercise
its own judgment, but merely puts
limitation upon the time Of its action.
In sense the provision to prevent
a vote by the legislature upon a con-
stitutional amendment until gen.
eral election has been held in the state
is designed to effect taking of the
sense of the people on the subject
comprised in the amendment. 1t $,
therefore, virtually referendum be-
fore the legislature acts. If it is in
any sense or manner deprival Of the
full decisive powers of the legisla-
ture it cannot be viewed now, in the
light Of the Supreme Courts prior rul-
ing, as invalidating the Tennessee vote.
If, on the other hand, this state con-
stitutional provision is merely pre-
caution to prevent precipitate action
by legislature not informed as to pub
lie feeling within the state, the court
may hold that it is operative and that
the Tennessee vote at the present extra
session is invalid.
The hope is that the Supreme
Court will act promptly and that all
preliminary court procedure will be
fastened with that end in view, 50
that definite decision may be had
before election day. Delay on this
question beyond that date would throw
doubt upon the validity of the votes
of those twenty states in which the
women are not already enfranchised
by state laws.

Washington's Postal Facilities.


A plan is projected for the estab-
lishment of large postal branch in
the center Of the business district of
the city. This branch, it is proposed,
will be Of full equipment and adequate
ly housed to give ample accommo-
dalton to the public. Certain quar-
tiers are in mind which, if secured,
would be most satisfactory. The post
master hopes that he can persuade the
department authorities to make the
necessary provision for this branch.
Washington has not been we'll
served in the matter of branch postal
facilities. When the city post Office
was removed from the Pennsylvania
avenue building-which had been de-
signed as city postal station big
enough to accommodate miscellaneous
government bureaus and not as Post
Office Department struetufe-it was
taken far to the side Of the business
section, in a place architeeturally
suitable and convenient to the rail
road, but altogether inconvenient to
the public. Since that time the ac.
commodations in the business sections
have been very poor. Makeshift quar-.
tiers have been utilized for branches
In some cases the post Office az a ten.
ant has suffered from the Ligh cost Of
rents and has had to vacate to make
room for better paying leases.

be an ample fund for the rental OF
temporary quarters pending such 3

American Women Enfranchised.

Yesterdays action by the Tennessee
legislature, barring reconsideration
and court reversal, is the completion
of a process of cnfranchisement be-
gun many years ago. 1t admits to the
ballot box every adult woman in the
United States not otherwise barred by
special conditions. 1t puts all the
women of the United States on an
equality with the men in respect to
the vote. 1t puts the women of twenty
states which have not yet admitted
women to suffrage on an equality with
those of the twenty-eight states that
have heretofore done so.
The enfranchisement of the women
of America, regardless of state lines,
was certain to come. There was es-
pecial urgency about the ratification
of the nineteenth amendment-appro-
priately called after that remarkable
woman who served so faithfully in
the early days in its behalf, Susan B.
Anthony-during the present summer,
for with final ratification all the women
of the country can vote for President
in November. Without it only those
Of twenty eight states could have done
so, an obviously unfair discrimination.
This amendment has been bitterly
fought by both men and women. It
has become political issue. Yet in
all of the states that have ratified
both parties have joined to support it,
and its opponents have comprised mem
bers of both sides. Perhaps the most
peculiar manifestation in the whole
campaign for suffrage has been the op-
position of numbers Of women, who,
not wanting the vote themselves, have
become active and almost militant in
their determined effort to prevent
others from obtaining it. Their cha
grin now in the final ratification Of
the amendment is the most vocal of

This is phenomenon which passes un-
Outstanding.
American womanhood is now vested
with a great right, without discrimi-
nation. It is a right that American
manhood has not always exercised
carefully or advisedly. 1t is for the
women of the country to prove their
title to the vote by the intelligence
and discrimination with which they
use it. The men of the United States
have tardily but still effectively COM
pleted the Declaration of Independence
by acknowledging the freedom and
equality of womanhood.

The Orator and His Throat.

1t is mentioned in the dispatches
that Candidate Roosevelt's voice IS
standing the strain of his tour very
we'll. There was some curiosity on this
score when he set out. Unaccustomed
to public speaking, he was taking a
risk in endeavoring to cover so much
ground, and speak-now in the open,
now in crowded halls-at so many
places. But he is filling his engage
ments, and making his audiences hear.
The effective stumper must have a
voice that holds. No matter how elo-
quent he may be, if his voice fails
him, even in part, his usefulness is i'm
paired. He cannot hope to put burn
ing words over with mere gestures
and in muffied tones.
In this particular Mr.. Bryan is a
wonder. For a quarter Of century
he has been canvassing the country
at all seasons and in all weathers,
speaking under all sorts Of conditions
and generally to large crowds, and J-et
his voice today is as strong and mu-
steal as when he began. 1t has seldom
failed him, even for a day, and never
for longer period.
Theodore Roosevelt, on the other
hand, had a tender throat, which re-
quired nursing. Now and then a spe
cialist accompanied him on his stump
ing tours. Even in the days when his
strenuousness oceasioned so much sur
prise and called forth so many COM
pliments he had to confess that one
infirmity. His throat was the one re-
hinder of his puny childhood. Never
theless, he did a lot of stumping, and
enjoyed the activity.
Napoleon classed orators with mu-
sieians; and here we see how close the
spellbinder is to the singer.
