AUTO SHOW AGENTS
CAN'T UNDERSTAND
HARD TIMES TALK
Their Business Should Be
the First to Be Hit by De-
, pression, But They Say
Outlook Is Promising.
It you have bsen Inoculnted with the
sftlrK of optimism and the germ has
failed to work properly you should visit
th fourteenth annual exhibit of tho
Philadelphia. Automobile Trade Associa
tion at the Metropolitan Bulldlnir. Broad
ahd Wallace streets, and enjoy a chat or
two with the guiding spirits there and
complete the cure.
These rneti of great experience have felt
the pulse of business life and believe the
future holds prosperous times for every
one. Of all the industries that would
obvlOuill' be hard hit In times of business
depression Is that of automobile manufnr
Hirers: and their thousand and one agents
throughout America. Tho kcynoto of the
Philadelphia tiderncn h thnt tho year
191D will be the busiest In the history of
lite Industry.
Here's a. sample from Secretary JV. A.
Kuaer, of the Blgelow-Wlliey Motor Com
pany: "We have not been at all affected by
so-called hard tithes. I do not think tho
x?8f has anything to do with depression",
as none exists In this country, at least
not enough to worry us. As far ns the
automobile business Is concerned, the
wholesale business Is as good as over, and
reports from agencies are most encour
aging. "The year 13IB will be the banner year,
I am sure. This time of the vear busi
ness In all branches is tnoro or less slow,
bdt there ihould not be a hue and cry
raised about It, It la to be. expected after
tlio nouuays.
f II. W. Macule, the traveling repre
sentative of tho Chalmers Company, who
lin Just returned from New York, saldi
"My Impression In 'New York was far
more encomaglng than t had hoped, as I,
imu ncaru ut uaru urncs mure man once.
In New York's show I rubbed elbotvs with
the financial kings of the world, ,iml all
that I gathered was sulllclent to put at
lest all thoughts of worry about the
future.
"In my experiences during the last four
months I have had time to weigh the
condltlomxind I do not believe the future
has ever promised so much. Our sales
during that time were Just as good as In
the 1314 prospeious times. The number
of pales at the New York show was uu
eyo opener for me, and to say r ns
astonished Is putting It mlldlv. On all
tides the general air was directly In con
trast with what I had heard. The fuct
that we expect to have a greater output
of cars thnp ever ta cqnvinclng aigu
ment enough. Isn't It?"
J. P. Howard, representing the Mitchell
firm, adds this comment:
"I have never seen the futiuo more
bright. AVe expect to deliver more cats
In 1515 than we' did In the past yeai.
That dqesn't sound much llko poor busi
ness, hard times, or whatever you ohoso
iq term It. does It? Young man. jou jnHt
say fqr the enlightenment of tho fright
ened public that tho Idea of hard times
U all bosh! It Isn't very likely that
money would be spent for pleamnc cars
)f there was such a dearth of the Where
withal, ts It?''

EVENING LEBGEB-PHILADELPniA, TUESDAY, JANTJAItY
JOTTINGS
HOUSE IN ALL-DAY
SUFFRAGE DEBATE
C'nntlnurri frnm I'nee One
to six hours' debato on the resolution
Itself, ench side to have three hours.
Opposition to tho amendment developed
so strongly durlns tho early debate on
the nile that leaders In tho House feared
the rule might bo voted down, preventing:
the six-hour debate. .Majority Leader
L'nderftood, because of the opposition,
conferred with Chairman Henry and sev
eial meinbeis of tlio House, urglntj them
to permit the adoption of the rule.
Among the mcmbeis voting for the rule
who announced opposition to suffrage
were llepreientatlvo Underwood, ma
Joilt lender, and Chairman Henry, of the
flutes Committee.
"t believe the House should grant a
vote on this resolution," said Mr. Under
wood, "but tho Issue of suffrage Itself Is
not one to be handled by the national
Government, but by the States.
"The Democratic party has not been
silent on this question. It has not at
tempted to Bay to California, New York
or any other State that women shall not
vote, but It does say that under our Con
stitution and laws the great question of
suftiage must be handled by each State
ami not uy the general Government.
It was at Mr. Underwood's iccmcst that
theio was no rollcnll on the rule.
MANN' KOR AMENDMKNT.
Mlnoiltj Leader Mann and Majority
Loader Undeiwoad took opposing- sides
In the aulTiage debate. Mr. Mann spoKo
for the resolution, briefly paying a tribute
to womanhood and contending that If
woman was capable of bilnglns man Into
the woild, of nursing him and of being
his couiiHclor and helpmnto in business
affairs, alio cuuld be given a voice In
governmental uffaiis.
"Women can bo Jiusted," b.o said,
"wllh n share In tho control of their
government, and I believe that tho
Uovornment would bo better off It women
were given tile ballot."
rtepiesentatlve Kelly, of Pennsylvania,
spoaUIng for tho resolution, said:
"There is no reason why the question
of woman suffrage should be met piece
meal und solved In fractious. There U
no maglo power In n State lino to make
the women In Illinois nt to govern Uiem
solveu and In Kontucky unfit to do so.
Nn power of icnctlon can long stop the
Anal determination of America that, an
the ballot Is not conditioned by mce or
color, It shall not bo conditioned by sex."
MOUUU AGAINST AMENDMENT,
The oulj speech by ,- Pennsylvania,
member In opposition was delivered bv
representative J. Hampton Moore. He
said'
"Woman suffrage Is another of the
qu"jtluua which the uneer States of
the Union aro passing up for accept,
ante ta thu older und more populous
Stated The Legislature of Pennsylvania
has partially Indicated Its purpose to sub
mit this question to a vote of the peo
ple of the State.
"Thus far, apart from the preliminary
step tuUen by the Legislature, we have

of tlio people of the Htate upon tho

WILSON'S VIKW8 CmiTJCliSBR.
Representative Campbell, of Kansas,
ranklns Republican member Pf the Rules
Committee, said that he would vo, q
f&vor of the rule and the suffrage
amendment.
"The questlgn U Of grijat (mpqetanee,"
Mr. Campbell W "It touahet the life

"There la also a considerable feeling
among the women opposed to suffrage
that the high pl.iqe which Ajnefican
women now hold In tlio esteem of manly
men mn be prejudicially affected by
forcing upon all women, rcgurdless of

them now, nor until nt least a majority
of the people of Pennsylvania havo Indi

amendment."
In a speech opposing the icsolutlon,
Repiesentatlve Dies, of Texas, declared
that not one In ten women would ever
take the trouble to cxeiclse suffrage.
"If you were to write woman suf
frage Into the legislation, there would

Looking down upon the members of the
House dining tho debate weic leaders

purple saHhcs of the "militants."
The spectators were orderly and lis
tened patiently.
The suffragists and their opponents ar
rived early at the Cnpltol. One lnrge seo

opposlns feminine armies exchanged the
courtesies of tho day ns they passed In the
corridors, but they kept apart.
"We thought It best not to put both
sides In tho some section of the gallery,"
said n House leader, and he winked an
eye. "We dUln't want any nrguments
going on In the galleries while we were,

Two of the suffrage leaders occupied

He found that the new law gives him tho
right to enforce tlio honest pound loaf
and he says he Is going to do It. The
old law provides a flue of $10 for each
offense nnd evciy short loaf Is a viola
tion. Toda some 50 loaves of bakcis' bread
In cllffpieht puits of tho city were
welched and the weight varied between
1" ounces and -"- ounces. The gieat ma
jority of the leaves were undeiwclght,
but most of these cmne fiom small bake
shops. that seldom tin n out moro than
130 loaves at u batch. Mr. Vlrdin was
told of this and uld that ho would have
some of his agents look Into the matter
ut once.
There was no further ilse in the price
of biead today In the local giocerlcs. It
remained at 3 cents, but the small dealeu
were not sure that they could keep It
down after today. At the laige depait
meut stoies that maintain grocery de
puitmcnta flour In bags wus selling at a
reduction. Twenty-four-pound bags that
fonneily wont for 90 cents sold today for
tS cents, and baneled flour went at $7.73,
tho exact wholesale price to tho letallers
It was said that this (lour had been on
hand before today's rise of 13 cents and
thnt the supply would not last long.
Tlio wholesale distllbuters were mum
today when It came to discussing the
tvhpat nnd (lour situation. If Miry Watts,
manager of the local distributing depot t
ment of tho Plllsbmy Flour Mills Com
pany, of Minneapolis, said nobody knew
what the futuie has In stole for sellers

the present, there was nothing ho wanted
to say, except "flour is tlio cheapest food
we are eating toda, oven at 17 75 a

Duilng the mornlnp; hours at the
Bourse, brokers congratulated themselves
while May wheat rose steudlly from

noon. The advance throughout the morn
ing was steady, the rungs of the ladder
making eights and quarteis. There was
nothing of a sensational nature In the
peiformance, which, on the other hand,
Indicated a return of the mailed to u
healthy condition. The feature- of the
local market was considerable purchases
