iPllESlDfiNT'S ATTITUDE
DELIGHTS SUFFRAGISTS
Philadelphia Antis, However,
Think Opinion Will Have
Little Effect on Fight. '
Trealdenl Wilson's statement, thai lie
will Vote for woman suffrage at thto polls
In1 New Jersey, was received differently.
In the suffrago and .antl-suffrage camp
here this afternoon The suffragists ivem
ovrroved at the President's declaration,
white the nntls said h statement was n
niero personal expression of opinion ami
would have little effect on the outcome
of tjio elections.
Sirs, Horace Brock, president of the
IVnnsyhnnla Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage, seemed Undlsmaed by
the President's action. Sho said:
'-Tho President's statement Is merely a
personal expression of opinion on the
woman surtiago question, therefore wo
do not consider thit any fuithei state
ment is necessary, livery one Is en
titled to his or her opinion on the Issue. J
njncii, as mo ncsldcnt says, Is not In
any -nay a party question. Wo agree
with him that lr should be decided by the
Individual Statet and not the National
Government. 1 feel certain that the aur
frnglsts will be defeated In tho our States
vUitie they nro now wulng active cam
paigns. Mrs. Wilfred Lewis, president of the
Equal Franchise Society, of Philadelphia,
said: "In personally Indorsing woman
suffrage, President Wilson Is consistently
living up to tho basic principles of gov
ernment which he set forth In his book,
"Tho New Freedom." Ho has shown
the country that he Is a democrat, not
only on the narrow party meaning of tho
word, but In the larger sense that ho
recognizes the justice of extension of the
rights and privileges of true democracy
td women.
"The Indorsement of suffrage by the
Piesldcnt and the majority of his Cabinet
Will have a great Influence In all the
campaign States, especial'. New Jersey.
Mrs". Uoore A. 1'ietsoi, chairman of
the AVoman's Suffrage paiiy of Philadel
phia, said today at the heudquaitcrs at
1723 Chestnut street;
"Mr. Wilson's .vote for woman suffrage
will have a gieat Influence on the men
of the nation whose. President he Is. If
New Jnrse votes for sUrtrage on October
19, it will have a telling effect on the re
sult of, the fight In Massachusetts, New
York andPCfinsylvhnla.
"Vfe are K ad to hear that the Presi
dent and members of his cabinet have
come out In favor of this further exten
sion of the Democratic principle. It can
not, help but hae A wonderful effect on
the elections this setting of on example
far the men of the State by the head of
tho nation. It Is not truo that the Pj evi
dent is seeking the 4,000,000 women votes
in-the next election. The President Is -i
man df'hla convictions nndvI believe ne
has come to a conscientious opinion,"
Objectionable Cards Destroyed
Th,reo bundled nnd ninety-eight obscene
postcards and a big batch of obscene
cajondera, which Attorney . Stuart Pat
terson told Judge Knowles were works
of art, but which Special Agent Andrew
Klnkadc, of the Christian League, sdld
were Intended only to corrupt the morals
of the young, were destroed In Judge
Knowles' Court this afternoon. The
Court also took occasion to compliment
Agerit Klnkade fdr the vigorous cam
paign he is waging against vice In gen
eral. The cards weie, Kinkade said, found
at th,e store of Leopold dt Benedict, of
761 South Sth street, The Court suspect
ed sentence with the understanding that
the, defendant would refrain from selling
pictures of this kind again.

by A. W. Allen, of 2131 North Camac

WILSON FAVORS SUFFRAGE;
WILL VOTE FOR AMENDMENT
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. Prtitdtnt Wllion today announced he
would vole for the euffrage amendment in New Jtriey, October ID. He
authorized the following announcement!
"I intend to vote for woman tuffrage In New Jeriey becauee I
believe the time hat come to extend that privilege and reipomlbility to
the women of the Statei, but I thall vote, not a the leader of my party
in the nation, but only upon my private conviction at a citizen of New
Jertey called upon by the Legitlature of the State to expreis hi con
viction at the pollt. I think that New Jeriey wilt be greatly benefited
by the change.
"My position with regard to the way in which thtt great quettion
thould be handled it well known. I believe it thould be tettled by the
Statei and not by the national Government and that in no circumitancei
thould St be made a parly quettion, and my vieui hai grown stronger at
every turn of the agitation."
SUFFRAGE CHIEF GRATIFIED
BY PRESIDENT'S STAND
Mrs. F. M. Roessing Hails Wilson's
Statement as Great Victory
HAtinismma, Oct. 6.-Mrs Prank M.
nopsslng, president of the Pennsylvania I
Woman Suffrnge Association, gave out
the following statement this afternoon
relative to the endorsement of suffrage
"We alwuNs expected that the President CR',, n.Z J "'., I'""'' ' r
would uphold tho women of his State Hi ,,lm "ml '" -vfw orlt- Massachusetts
their efforts to secure justice, nnd wc re- and Pennsylvania xcry probable.
gard his statement as a logical conclusion vJe ver.mu. t,lcn,;Cl, '1 '-".id
of his position on the fundamental rights . M- aniltli. of the Unmcn s Suffrage Na
of citizenship. We are especially pleased lo,.ml Congressional committee. "Wo
to note, howcvei. that Woman Suffrnge is t
regarded not only ns a matter of Justlci
by the President, but that he bclleca
New Jersey will be greatly benefited by
the change.
"Although President Wilson will vote
In favor of Suffrage, not as the leader of
his party in the nation, but upon his
prhntn conictton ns a clttaen, we know
that the force of his personal example
will be strong. For in Mr. Wilson's case
It will signify much more than is due
simply to his official position, as he Is a
level-headed, clrar-tlilnklng man and not
easily swned. He has been suspending
his judgment about Woman Suffrage nnd
his announcement that he Intended to
Vote for the Suffrage amendment In New
Jersey can only mean, ns he so well
stntes, that, he believes the State ns ,.
whole will be gicatly benefited by giving
Its women a olcc In the electorate."

"Tho I'reshk-nt s declaration is Impor

"In New Jersey the President's Influence

TWO YOUNG WOMEN
DEFY POLE PLANTERS
Philadelphia Electric Employes
Defeated Company
Seeks Peace
Two oung women held tho advanced
line of trenches In front of their homo at
1208 Soth Xd street today against the
6th army corps Of the Philadelphia Hlec
trie Company, which had retired to a safe
position around the corner of Whnrton
street. Tho electric company army w.is
driven from the trench after a sharp en
gagement. They succeeded In saving thi"
wire pole they had planned to erect In
tho trench; but lost arms, munitions and
climbing Irons.
Tho ndvanccd trenches are occupied by
Miss Charlotte Hnlgh nnd her sister
Elizabeth, whose home Is nt 1308 South
2Jd xtreit. The object of tho enemy's
drive Is to open communication and es
tablish n light line to the home of Joeeph
1 nmppurl, nt 1312 North Kd street. The
enemy was tepulsed In the first attack.
Today the Misses Halgh arc seated In
the trench on kitchen chairs. They have
constructed an umbrella shelter, but the
Halgh army Is up to Its nnklcs In mud
and water.
Thi'io inn never ho a second engage
ment, it was said today, for the difficulty
may be Fettled through dlplomntlc repre
sentatives 1 he fccnernl staff of the Philadelphia
Klectrlc Company today gao out the
following statement:
"Uwij effort will be mado to reach an
amicable settlement. It Is not the policy
of tho conipjnv to rouse antagonism by
constructing pole lines where they are
not wanted. The dispute will bo sub
mitted to the Klcctrlcal Bureau for ad
justment." Inspector T3corgc Dyers, of the bureau.
Is on the ground Investigating. A sym
pathetic crow-d of neighbors supplies the
llalghs with oncourngemiU and food.
