SUFFRAGISTE CERTAIN OF DEMOCRATS' HELP Leaders Resent Efforts to Have Them Support Hughes. WON BY WILSON'S SPEECH. u ì Have Come Here to Fight WITH You," He Telia National Convention "Wilson Voteci For Suffrago; Ha» Hughes?' Mrs. Graham of Idaho Asks. "Western women who have had the ballot equally with the men for several years resent the lnterferenee of one of the factions of suffraglsts and the at tempt to turn the suffrage cause into an adjunct of the Republican party. They believe they know how to vote, and they refuse to turn against the Democrats, who have done so much for thelr cause in their respective states. This attltude is brought out olearly In an interview by NLxola Greeley gmith, natlonaliy prominent as a writer on the staff of the New York World, with Mrs. Alexander Thompson, Dem ocratic natioaal committeeman from Oregon, and Mrs. Theresa M. Graham of Coeur d'Alene, Ida. "One would tliink," observed Mrs. Thompson to Miss Greeley-Smith, "that lf any instruction in suffrage matters had to be gìven it would come from the women who have won the vote and do vote rather than from suffra gista in the east, who are stili disfran chlsed. I am a young wóman, but I have been through three campaigns for the vote in Oregon. lathe final cam paign we won through the co-opera tlon and help and belief in ufi of the men of Oregon. Aided by Democrata. "We have been voting only Ave years, and we are stili grateful to our men. So when the Congressional Un ion sent speakers to Oregon to teli us to vote against ali Democrats we laugh ed at them. Why, at the last election they campalgned against George E. Chamberlaln, who introduced the first suffrage bill in Oregon and who had been the friend of the women ali through their fifteen years' fight" "I agree with every word that Mrs. Thompson has spoken," declared Mrs. Graham, proxy member of the notifl cation committee from Idaho. "The conditions in my state are the same as In Oregon, except that we have had the vote for twenty years, and it was given to us without our havlng to fight for it The Congressional Union has «peakero in Idaho now urging us to slaughter the Democrats and free our statere In the east How silly that is! Are women in the east so foolish as to be led away by the mere declaratJon of a candidate, unsupported by hls party, that he's personally In favor of a federai amendment? "Woodrow Wilson voted for suffraga. Waa Charles E. Hughes ever voted for suffraga? Wilson has done everything consistent with a belief in state rights, one of the fundamentai principles of Demooracy. Suffrage can never win as a partisan issue. Alienate the Demo orats en masse and you have killed ev ery chance auffrage has." Won by Wilson's Speech. It is admitted by suffraglsts that their cause has been helped greatly by the speech President Wilson made be fore the convention of the National Woman Suffrage association at Atlan tic City on £ept. S. When the presi dent told them he had "come here to fight with you" the 4,000 suffragists gathered in Nixon's theater arose and cheered him enthusiastically. This pledge by the president led Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt president of the association, to say: "You touclied our nearts and won our fealty when you said you had come here to fight with us." "The astonishing thing about this movement," said Fresident Wilson, "is not that it has grnvn so slowly, but that it has grown so rapldly. * * * I get a little impatient sometimes about the disoussion of the channels and methods by which it is to prevali. It is going to prevali, and that it is a very superflcial and ignora nt view of it whieh attributes it to mere social unrest It is not merely because the womei are discontented; it is because the women have seen visions of duty, and that is something which we not only cannot resist, but if we be true Americans we do not wish to re sist. • * * "I have felt as I sat here tonight the wholesome conta gion of the occa sion. Almost every other time that 1 ever visited Atlantic City I carne to fight somebody. I hardly know how to conduct myself when I have net come to fight anybody, but with some body. "I have come to suggest among oth er things, that when the forces of na ture are steadily and the tide is rlsing to uieet the moon you need not be afraid that it will not come to its flood. We feel the tide; we rejoice in the ol it." BURBANK OUT FOR WILSON, 'THE GREATEST STATESMAN" Announcing his support of President Wilson, Luther Burbank, the hortlcul turist wisard of California, said: "I believe him to be the greatest statecman we have ever had." Mr. Burbank, the Edison of scientific horticulture, declared that without re serve he indorsed the position announc ed a week earlier by Thomas A Edi son.

Edison put it this way: "Times are too serious to talk in terms of Republicanism or Democracy. When it's America that is at stake men have gotto vote as Americans. A fool or a coward would have had the United States in ali sorts of trouble. As it is, we are at peace, the country was never more prosperous, and we have the strength that comes with hon or and integrity of purpose." Greatest Benefit to Farmers. When con gres s passed the rural ered ita bill a few weeks ago it placed upon the statute books a measure of greater direct benefit to the farmers of the United States than any legislation en acted since the creation of the depart ment of agriculture, now nearly a gen eration ago.— The National Monthly.

A.— We, the Republican party, being at our wifcs* end and desperate, put it up to you: For nearly four years now a Demo cratic administration has been in power. Contrary to every law of rea son. every principle of progress, the country is at peace and alive —nay, humming v.itli prosperity. Business is rushing. Wages are high. The only discontent is the discentent of those who are reaching for bigger chunks of plenty. » We are flabbergasted. Ali this has happened during a period when the rest of the world has been agog, when International crises were impendingon ali sides, when we would have sworn only Republican statesmanship could pulì the nation through. No war has engulfed us. No panie has paralyzed us. No nation has with impunity continued to infringe upon our rights. We can't deny what has been done. Ali we can do is take our oath we could have done it better. How, we do not know. If only we said it loud and long enough we hoped the country would beiieve us. But the country is busy, and our voices grow hoarse. We are havlng a hard time. Woodrow Wilson has nothing to show us but what he has accomplishecL He has none of the glamour of the what-might-be. We, on the contrary, have our old promises and policies, mellowed by age, but stili hearing the stamp of the natiooTs solid interesta.
