Answers to QUESTIONABLE
From Various Candidates
Are Studied With Interest

Suhragists who have been working
against Senator Wadsworth admitted
yesterday that they probably would
not succeed in defeating him in the
primary election to-day, but headquar-
ters Of the Non-Partisan Senatorial
Committee, at 81 West Thirty-ninth
Street, were busy all day with last min
ute activities.
The answers of the Senatorial aspi-
rants to the questionable sent out BY
the League Of Women Voters to all
candidates were studied with interest.
Senator Wadsworth's answers to the
questions regarding prohibition and
Federal toou contrai were of specla.
| interest, as the women have attacked
his stand on these matters.
In regard to the enforcement of the
Volstead act he said 81 am in favor
OF the manufacture of beverages that
are not intoxicating and against those
that are. The law must always har
monize with the Constitution"
Opposed to Price Fixing
In regard to food control he said :

Senator Wadsworth replied also that
he was in favor of many of the meas
ures applying to women, such as the
independent citizenship of marie
women, but he added a footnote on
these items, marked Important,
which read as follows:
Several Of the questions set forth
in the QUESTIONABLE involve proposals
which in themselves may be desirable
put 1t must be borne in mind that the
Federal government must practice the
strictest economy. We cannot embark
upon new undertakings which cost
large sums of money. We must reduce
our appropriations and reduce taxes
1t were wise for US to enter upon nc
new and large undertakings until we
can, get the finances of the country
back into decent shape. This is i'm.
peratfve, and more important than
anything else"
The answers of Mrs. Ella A. Boole
and George Henry Payne, candidate:
Tor the Republican nomination, as wei
as Lieutenant Governor Harry C
Walker, Democratic candidate for the
Senate, were open to all corners al
headquarters.
Many Women Lose Vote
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, who has beer
the most conspicuous woman in the
campaign against Senator Wadsworth
explained that from the first the WON
en- realized they probably could not
defeat him in the primaries, for the
| reason that the independent woman

tions about the primary results. He
said that he believed about 10000 votes
would be cast; He added he had
found that about twenty of every hun
dred party voters In Brooklyn could
not cast ballots owing to the fact that
they had moved since last election and
had not applied within the thirty-day
limit to correct the polling lists.
Democratic Leader McCoeey issued
statement in favor Of the five regu-
lar candidates for the judiciary nom
nations, including Assistant Corpora
tion Counsel Charles J. Druhan, Fed
eral Judge E. L. Garvin, County Judge
Burt Jay Humphrey, Of Queens; Jus
tice Townsend Scudder, of Nassau, and
Edward Ward Mcmahon. McCooey is
said to be working hard to put Druhan
over. The Republicans, however, are
banking on big Republican majority
in the general election in Brooklyn for
Harding and Coolidge, as we'll as the
state ticket, which is expected to sweep
all the judiciary nominees in Office

The regular organization men are not
worrying about the Thompson vote,
however, and are more interested in

Deny Reports of
Aid to Miss Mills
Their Tribute to Democrats
Candidate for Secretary
of State Misrepresented
by Tammany, They Assert

Mrs Olive Stott Gabriel, Mrs. Belle
de Rivera, Mrs. Frederick Nathan, Mrs.
Emily Burden and other Republican
women in the state who attended the
so-called non-partisan luncheon held
at the Hotel Pennsylvania on Septem-
ber 9 in honor of Miss Harriet May
Mills. Democratic designee for Secre-
tary Of State, have found that Tam
many and the Democratic state organi-
zation are making political capital of
their presence at the luncheon to obtain
women's votes for Miss Mills. The
Republican women have received let
ters censuring them for having attende
the luncheon and permitting themselves
to be placed in the attitude of favor
ing the election of Miss Mills, when,
supporters of John J. L. ons, the Re-
publican designee for the place.
Mrs. Gabriel issued a statement yes
terday in which she said that there was
no ground for the assumption that she
or other Republican women who at
tended the luncheon favored Miss
Mills's election. Mrs. Gabriel said that
she deemed it an honor to be included
among the original suffrage workers,
DuC CndC Sne was, ana ways naQ D'cn
Republican and was just as anxious
for the success of the Republican party
from the highest to the lowest office as
she was for the success of suffrage.
She and other Republican women. she
declared, attended the Mills luncheon
in an "absolute non-partisan spirit"
Mrs. Burden, who lives in Rochester,
was in this city yesterday and declared
that she feared Miss Mills had been
imposed upon and that certain people
are using Tammany methods"
"The scheme of some of the Demo-
cratic politicians to use Miss Mills was
simply to pull their chestnuts out of
the fire." said Mrs. Burden. 'It is a
blow to suffrage. Women are asked to
vote for one of their own because she
is woman, and this is bound to have
a bad effect Experiences in Colorado
and California, where suffrage was first
tried out, have proved this to be true,
and after the first year the movement
went backward Miss Mills will re-
quire all her ingenuity to prevent the
Tammany politicians from using her
splendid character to obtain suffrage
advantages"

William Howard Taft
Discusses
Miss Boardman' Appointment

1906 until we entered the war the Red
Cross did much good in many fields Of
suffering and disaster under her active
leadership. When the war came on, the
activities of Miss Boardman were di-
rected to creating a model for the
country in the Washington Chapter of
the Red Cross, and such it became
under her supervision.
She is woman of great executive
ability and experience, Of untiring in
dustry and application, and of wide
knowledge of public men and affairs.
So frequently has she had, in Red
Cross matters, to apply to Congress-
that she is we'll acquainted with Sen
ators, and her ability and grasp of
affairs are greatly respected in both
houses. This will be Of much assist
anee to her in her new duties. She
loves Washington and knows it we'll,
it's needs and its possibilities.
Now that the nation has adopted
woman suffrage and that women are
eligible to fiji all Offices, those who
rave struggled to bring this result
about should rejoice that the woman
selected to fill the first really important
Office in the national administration
should be as competent to fill it as is
Mise Boardman.

Bv William Howard Taft

President Wilson is to be commend
ed for his admirable selection to fill a
vacancy in the Board OF Commissioners
of the District of Columbia. He has
appointed to that very important Office
Miss Mabel T. Boardman, Of Washing
ton. Miss Boardman's father, now
dead, was William J. Boardman, for
years a leading lawyer of Cleveland,
Ohio. Her mother, with whom Miss
Boardman lives, was the daughter of
Joseph Sheffield, the generous donor of
the Sheffield Scientific School to Yale
University. For q number Of years
the Boardman family have lived in
Washington, and Miss Boardman has
become one Of the city's most prom
inent and public-spirited citizens.
AS long ago as 1905 she interested
herself in reviving and reforming the
organization of the American Red
Cross, and due almost solely to her
efforts that useful and beneficent
agency was made available to the peo-
pie Of this country and the world. From

plies valued at many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been stolen from

have been partly due to the work of

there are indications that some of the
