DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
WILL Be DOMINATED BY
WOMEN SAYS MISS FOY
~

PASADENA, Cal, Feb. 1.-THE
democratic national convention in San
Francisco is going to be woman's
convention in the belief of Miss Mary
Foy of Pasade
II was Miss F'oy who, as an asso-
Iciate member of the democratic ma
tional committee. made the speech at
Washington which is credited with
having been one of the greatest sin
gle factor in bringing the democratic
convention to the west. She is now
a member of the committee on ar
rangenents for the convention.
Miss Foy does not mean the con-
vention will be a woman's meeting in
the sense of a sewing circle. She
means that the Influence of women
will be the dominating factor even
though women do not cast the ma
jority of votes when the roll is called.
Women will be the controlling fac
tor in the 1920 campaign" Miss Foy

FAMOUS ULSTER LEADER
CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY

LONDON. Feb. 11.-Sir Edward
Carson, famous Ulyster leader, Mon
day received congratulations-and
perhaps a few Sim Fein curses-on
the occasion of his 66th birthday.
Sir Edward. who is as hearty and
vigorous as a man forty years his ju-
nior. has fought the cause of Ulster
home rule all his life. In 1912 he
formed an Ulster Provisional Gov
ernment" and worked outa complete
scheme of administration which he
declares is still ready to be put into
immediate operation if the British
parliament or Sim Fein attempts to
coerce Ulster. s'Ulster will Fight and
Ulster will be Right" said the late
Lord Randolph Churchill, and this
has long been Carson's motto.
Carson is a "King's Counsel and
mis- legal earnings for many years
must have been enormous. as he has
,een in every cause celebre, at huge |
ees. for the past thirty years. AT |
present he is credited with an income
# from $4,000 to s250,0oO a year. |
nd he is certainly the highest priced /
lwyer today.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-Reduction Of
the cost Of living and OF the number
Of illiterate voters and the raising OF
standards OF citizenship and of laws
for the protection of women and chill
dren were the problems occupying
the attention Of delegates to the fifty-
first annual convention of the Nation
al American Woman Suffrage associa-
ton and the first annual convention OF
the League of Women Voters here to-
day.
Advice as to methods for accomp-
fishing these ends--t11e result Of the
years laboratory work of the new
league-has been formulated for the
consideration Of delegates.
The facts compiled by the eight
national committees of the league
have been eagerly absorbed by the
hundreds OF delegates representing
every state in the union, who intend
through their own organizations, Or
ganizaions Of men and women and
the political parties, to effect legisla-
tion which will improve citizens and
citizenship.
In every conference yesterday, the
league made it clear that it Is not to
dissolve any present organization. but
to unite all existing organizations OF
women who believe in its principles.
1t Is not to create sex antagonism but
to develop cooperation between men
and women. 1t is not to lure women
from partisanship but to combine
them in an effort for legislation which
will protect coming movements which
we cannot even foretell from the un-
toward conditions which have hinder
ed for SO long the coming of equal
suffrage. ..-
Next week the results of these con-
ferences will come before the conven-
ton for adoption Of legislative plat.
form. But for the next few days the
National Suffrage association will
have the floor, rejoicing over its VIC
tory and reviewing the momentous
events of the past few months.

CHICAGO, Feb 13.-The enemy OF
woman suffrage is "a fly sitting on
the wheel of progress" imagining he
can command it ito revolve no more
and that 1t will obey" Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, president of the Ma
tional Suffrage association, said In her
opening address at the convention of
the organization here today.
Mrs. Gait reviewed the battle for
the federal suffrage amendment cit
ing the difficulties which were over
gress and in the present fight for
quick ratification by the states.
She attacked Senators Borah, of
Idaho, Wadsworth. of New York. Pom
creme, Of Ohio, and Hitchcock, OF
Nebraska, as refusing to represent
| their states in the 65th congress
when the amendment failed to pass.
''As the amendment needed but a
single vote in the 65th congress, the
responsibility for it's failure to pass
may be laid upon any one of the
FOUR she said "They not only put
their own states to the expense of
extra sessions but all the other
states as WELL"
Mrs. Gait called upon suffragists to
rally to the support of any gov
ernors who may be attacked by their
political opponents for bringing the
extra expense Of special sessions upon
their respective states.
when a republican governor calls
a special session in order to ratify,
he merely atones for the inexplicabie
conduct of two members of his own
party" Mrs. Gait said '"They-not he
are blamable for the fact that the
special sessions became necessary.
1.-The democratic governor who
called a special session only makes
honorable amends for the misrepre-
sentation by members of his own
party"
The executive committee Of the suf-
frage association was to meet early
today to vote on the plan to dissolve
the organization when tho federal
amendment is finally ratified. Little
doubt was expressed by members Of
the council before the meeting that
action recommending dissolution Of
the association and urging members
to join the new league of women
voters would be taken.
The convention was to take up con-
sideration of the plan late today.
The executive council will work out
details of the proposed dissolution in
cluding disposition Of property, funds
and records,
Recommendations formulated by
various committees outlining the
future plans Of the league of women
voters will be submitted to the con-
vention next week. These recon-
mendations include a broad program
of educational, social hygiene, child
welfare, and food control work.
