Th IteDUbllcan party wilt never regain

It ousts sucn lenacrs us icnroao, names,
' gmoot and Crane and carnostly espouses
' the cause of the common weal In prefer
' snee to the Interests of big business.
This prophecj' was delivered with solenv
I ttltr n1 earnestness today by William
itrnrni Smith, former Mayor the dandy
? Mayor of Philadelphia and for nearly a
' BS1I CenlUry tt Iliemuci ui mo ju-imuuuui
party. The verdict of last Tuesday's elec
- tlon and the fact that this distinguished
Philadelphia Republican apoke on tlto occa
ilon of his seventy-second blrtliday anniver
sary gave emphasis nnd seriousness to the
statement of one of the four living ex
i Mayors of Philadelphia.
x-Mayor Smith was interviewed In his
summer homo at Laurel Springs, N. J ,
' where he has been Btaylng for several weeks
' In the hope of recuperating from a serious
' attack of neuritis.
"The result of tha national election," lie
"said, "Is in accordance with my antlclpa.
'tlon. I had no idea mat iiugnes could
win.
"There was not enough energy or inter-
i tit In his campaign. Tho men In charge of
Mr. Hughes's light apparently lacked polltl-
al foresight. They gave an ineir attention
Xa the East and let the great West run
HWT.
The verdict or tho people in returning
' Mr. Wilson to ofllco was right. The people
m always right. When we dlsputo that
we dispute republican government.
The erdlct last Tuesaay snows mat tne
"tJUaerlcan people are suspicious of the fldel-
j Ity of the Rcpubllcan.party. Tne ltepuDii

iawllcan leaders. Of tne leaders to oe elim

SUFFRAGISTS CONtoD
WOMEN'S BALLOT raiE
NEAR BEATING WILSON
Miss Alice Paul Declares Demo
crats Have Been Taught Les
son nnd Will Now Pass
Federal Amendment
PLAN FOR 1918 CAMPAIGN
By GEORGE K. 1T0LMES
CHICAGO. Nov. 11. Whatever may be
the ultimate outcome of the election re
counts nnd contests which threaten to be
cloud the political tiorlson for days to
come, the women voters won an over
whelming tctory at the polls Tuesday.
This Is the opinion of most suffrage leaders,
except those who were actively partisan In
the campaign.
The women regard their victory not in
President Wilson's re-election, but In the
formidable array of their own power which
almost prevented It.
The women at the start of the campaign
went out "to get Mr. Wilson's scalp." How
close they camo to getting It can be seen
In tho electoral vote. But now that It's all
over they're willing to bury the hatchet,
go back to Wanhlngton for the opening of
Congress nnd fight tooth and nail for a
national nmendmrnt which will insure all
women the ballot.
ThH wn. briefly, the outllno of the situa
tion n explained today by Miss Alice Paul,
who led tho fight ngalnst the President
from her place as directing head of the
woman's party:
"Prom a suffrage standpoint," sho said,
"I believe. If anything, we can perhaps lie as
glad we got Mr. Wilson as If we had got
Mr. Hughes. We won't have to educate
Mr. Wilson any more on the suffrage ques
tion. W might Mr. Hughes. Mr. Wilson
knows what we want, and he says he is
with us.
"When we entered the campaign In mld-
Augutt we found the voting women lined
up for Mr. Wilson because "he kept us out
of war. Wo opposed this with "he kept ui
out of suffrage,' and appealed to women to
show their loyalty to other women by reg
istering a protest vote ngalnst Mr. Wilson's
opposition to suffrage. We found that
wherever we were able to reach the women
oters they reeponded to this appeal.
"Nearly one-half of the total electoral
vote cast In suffrage States went against
President WIHon.
"In Illinois we put herculean efforts into
getting the women's vote because of the
large number of Its electoral votes. Illi
nois repudiated President Wilson. We made
a particularly Igorous campaign In Oregon.
We cirrled Oregon.
"In California wo made a strenuous bat
tle, and the women there voted largely
against Mr. Wilson, though this State was
carried by him because of the Wilson-Johnson
harmonlxatlon with which the woman's
vote had nothing to do.
"Campaigns were made In alt the suf
frage States, and so far as we can estimate
thousands of votes wero turned against Mr.
Wilson.
"Since the women's party was able. In
tho few months of Its existence, to keep
nearly half of the electoral votes In suf
frage States from going to President Wil
son, we luno every reason to believe that
by next election In 1318 It will be so
powerful that no party will desire to Incur
Its hostility.
"The vision of 1918 makes us confident
that the Democratic party will not again
risk defeat by having as Its opponent the
organised women's voto of the country
that rather than encounter this opposition
It will pass the national amendment In time
to have women votera line up as friends
rather than as opponents,
"Wo npproach the coming Congress full
of confidence."
FOOD THIEF SHARPLY REBUKED
Magistrate in Sentencing Him Says His
Offense Was More Culpable Than
Theft of Gems
Magistrate Pennock today, In 'Imposing a
sentence of thirty days on Edwin Cramer,
eighteen years old, 3604 Warren street, for
stealing two sacks of foodstuffs, declared
that anybody who would stead food In there
days of excessive high living cost was more
culpable thnn a diamond or radium thief.
P. P. Geehan, of Willow drove, today left
his automobile standing In front of tho
veterinary department of the University of
Pennsylvania, Thirty-ninth Btreet and
Woodland avenue. In the back of the ma
chine were two Hacks filled with the fol
lowing: Two strings of sausaget, four pounds of
scrapple, six dozen egg.' flvo bunches of
celery, four pounds of sirloin steak eight
pounds of beef, half bushel of potatoes and
other vegetables.
Qeehan had hardly entered the veterinary
building when two young men shouldered
tho sacks nnd made off with them. Some
body told Qeehan what had happened and
he gave chase with Policeman I.nnahan, of
tho Thirty-second street and Woodland ave
nue station. Cramer was caught on Mar
ket street, below Thirty-eighth.
In Imposing sentence Magistrate Pennock
said:
"Young man. If you keep on you will
make a first-class radium thief. These days
It is less culpable to steal diamonds than
food."

BUSINESS 1IEN TO END
QUARREL OF LAWYERS
SERVING COMPTERS
Chairmen of United Associa
tion's Directors Accept Ab
bott's Request Thnt They
Dispose of Controversy
POST CLAIMED BY TWO
A method of settling the squabble be
tween two attorneys for the business men
and commuters In their fight for a rodue
tlon of suburban railroad rates was de
cided upon today.
Kdwln M. Abbott, one of the attorneys,
who wai "fired" by Kdward B. Mnrtln.
chairman of the transportation committee
of the United Business Men's Association,
the other attorney, because he offered n
compromise to the Philadelphia nnd Head
ing Railway and tho Pennsylvania llall
road, today made a request that may dis
pose of the tangle. lie asked Udward A.
Noppel, chairman of the board of directors
of tho United Business Men's Association,
to call n meeting of the directors In the
letter's ofllce. 1015 Arch streot, next Tues
day, to decide juit who Is the ofltclally
accredited representative of the com
muters. Noppel agreed.
Tho Public Service Commission at Its
executive session In Harrlsburg Monday will
tako up tho controversy of the Philadel
phia commuters nnd decide whether the pro
posed new schedule of rates on tho Phila
delphia and Heading and the Pennsylvania
lines shall be made effective Irrespective of
the dissensions among tho commuters' at
torneys or whether tho whole case shall be
continued Indefinitely.
Out of the maze of conflicting statements,
letters and denunciations which have been
made public by the commuters' attorneys
during tho Inn two days tho commission
probably will find It difficult to determine
just what course It may properly follow.
Cdwln M. Abbott and several other at
torneys hao written to the commission and
to the railroads that they are ready to
accept the proposal of tho Bending as It
now stands nnd thnt they will accept the
proposal of the Pennsyhanla provided the
minimum rate of 15 for all stations within
a seven-mile zono Is changed to conform
to the Beading rate schedule.
Kduard B Martin declare! that Abbott
has surrendered and that he Is, therefore,
"fired" as counsel for the association nnd,
-being fired, ho can hao no authority to
sottlo
In retaliation Abbott has declared that
Martin has been deposed as head of the
transportation committee.
William Ilnncock, president of the United
Business Men's Association, In whom Is
vested the power to "fire" nnd "hire" dur
ing periods of emergency, declares that no
one Is "fired "
Meanwhile the commuters are anxiously
awaiting some word from Hie commission
as to whether or not the two-year fight Is
going to mean cheaper rates.

Because of the threatened Increase tn tho

for election returns during the past few days
that it is believed the public will be interested
to know with what the Bell Telephone operat

Four figures tell the story; they represent total daily
traffic volumes in Philadelphia:

that made possible the meeting of this unprecedented and
unexpected condition.
