ULSTER DIVIDED ON
QUESTION HOME RULE
Carson Proposal to Partition
Province Fails to
Go Down.

gJcndou, Mart1f 11.--A Surprising de-
velopment in the Irish situation Is the
division Of opinion which has arisen
among Ulster. unonists over the defini-
tion of Ulster. Sir Edward Carson has
advised the unionist council which met
in Belfast last week, to accept the
home rule bill, which provides two
parliaments for Ireland, defining Ulster
as six counties. says the Chicago Trib-
une Foreign News Service.
This definition of Ulster was adopted
because of strong pressure by Carson,
who believed that only in this way
could he get his followers to acc pit the
bill, fearing they would be alarmed
at the possibility of a nationalist ma
jority If the whole province was in
cluded In parliamentary Ulster.
Now 1t appears the majority dele
gates in Belfast last week insisted the
whole province be included. and there
one parliament for the whole of Ire
home rule at alt they might as well go
the whole hog 1t is also a fact that
Ulster labor men are opposed to a par
titioN of Ireland because they see added
strength in an all-lreland labor party
in an all-Ireland parliament.
The result of this development is that
unionists Ulster Is becoming more ma
tionalist than the nationalsts. and it
is possible they may now line-up for a
real home rule.
The council meets again Wednesday
at which a report will be made on
a proposal to demand inclusion OF the
whole nine counties in the Ulster PAR
lament.

SAYS REAL SOUTH IS NOT
OPPOSED TO SUFFRAGE

Washington. d. c., March 12,--Leg-
islators and politicians alone are re-
sponsible for the general view that the
south is opposed to votes for women,
is the opinion of Mrs. Josephus Daniels,
wife of the secretary of the navy.
Southern Reputation.
Mrs. Daniels said she thought it
would be the greatest pity If the south
ern states should not ratify the amend
ment, as it would be the first break
in ther eputation southern men hold
for giving women what they want.
Rise TO Occasion.
mo class of women has ever been
considered more of the clinging vine
type tha nthe women of the south"
said Mrs. Daniels. mo class of women
has ever been more protected. yet in
times of national stress. southern
women always have risen to the occa-
sion and proved themselves more than
equal to their responsibilities"
Mrs. Daniels said that North Caro-
lima, her native state, lost suffrage by
only few votes in the legislature, be-
cause there was not enough money
for an effective campaign of educa-
tiOn.

HOOVER WAVE IN SOUTH
MAY DISPLACE BOSSES

Atlanta, Ga, March I'm. u, Al
N endeavoring to make a red-tape
elimination of Herbert Hoover from
the primary campaign on the ground
that he is not an avowed democrat,
party lealers in Georgia have pulled
down plenty of trouble on their heads.
From every part of the state the
popular demand for Hoover has gained
force until political experts agree that
large majority OF the voters are
Hoover adherents.
From editorials and PERSONAL eX-
preston the sentiment can be judged
as Hoover is a perfectly acceptable
democratic candidate because his pub
lished opinions on all questions coincide
with the basis ideals of the party OF
Jefferson"
The democrats of Dealb county held
a mass meeting and drew up resolutions
demanding taht Hoover's name. be
placed on the ticket, regardless OF
party rules.
In Buford petition signed by lead
ing democrats has been sent to the
secretary of state pleading for the op-
portunity to support Hoover.
Party chiefs now recognize that Their
opposition to Hoover's candidacy was
poor policy mad loss of control by the
party organization is freely predicted.
