Bsi to" ltp'-'rhr conservative suffragists
Of the country, having determined In the
vent that the Federal amendment for
woman auffrnge does not pass this Biv-
iy-nrin congress, to go into the con
,Ttsslonal ahd senatorial districts In the
1918 elections, there to light tho reelec
tion of candidate. And they nre not
going to hit soft. This decision Km
arched at after considerable and hented
discussions.
Delegates there were who favored the
htttlng-soft policy when tho recommen
dation made by tho eucutive council
came up for vote, but thrle werequlckly
disposed of. The alate recommendation
was ti the effect thnt a number of ecu
atorlal and congressional districts be
selected omial to the number of ntc"
necessary to ihange the result In each
house and that a campnlgn against can
didates opposing the Federal amendment
be waged.
A gentle Texan ilelegato opined that
thja wss tno seero on the opponents
and mated that tho suffragist support
nil faMirable randldntes rather than op
pose tho unfavorable ones. This was
jeered down. Dr. Anna Howard Hliaw
took the floor and tho hlttlnz-soft mo
tion wns lost.
"If we support every congressional
and senatorial candidate In the United
States," D6ctor Shaw said, "we then
Bupport all the other thlngi for which
he stands i but If we oppose n man for
his opposition to tho Federal amendment,
we opposo lilm for that and nothing
else."
A -preceding recommendation that tho
utmost efforts bo concentrated nif the
successful cnrrjlng out of the Federal
amendment was curried unanimously,
DISCUSSION OVr.lt WAIl HKRVICM
An Interesting discussion Is cipected
toduy at a late session In regnrd to the
adoption by thin association tho'hos-
pltal unit to bo sent to Fri.nct: ur.dcr
the HUsplces of tho Woman's. Ijpllrmnry
of New York. Some if thovlnps4r.
nonned wimen docrii In the country
are on the staff of tiio Infirmary, Dr.
Cnrollr.o Flnley notably, but because of
a ruling by t'he lied Crois and tho War
Department the military riervlcts of
women doctors are not acceptable to the
(Sovernment. Tho suffragists fcvl that
sex discrimination should not bo allowed
to keep the women surgeons from work
for w hlch there It a dlro r.eed
According to Mrs. Charles F Tiffany
of New York, one of the directors of tho
Infirmary, the unit will have ths .recog
nition of the French Government
Adoption of the hospital unit will cost
the suffragists about 1100,009.
Much Interest Is being shown In the
election of officers. The successful can
didates will be announced tomorrow or
Sunday. The popular ticket Is! 1'resldent,
Mrs. Carrie Chapmnh Call; first vice
president, Mrs. Stanley Mct'ormlck j sec

mond llrown; fifth vice president, Mra,
Helen Gardner : recording secretary, .Mrs
Halsey Wilson; corresponding secretary
Mra Frank IS. Shuler.
The fight for tho treasurer's office Is n
close one between Mrs. Henry W.uln ling
trs, the Incumbent, and Mrs. Utfford
Plnchot.
WOMf.N STILL OPTIMISTIC
Despite the fact that a leccnt poll of
tho Scnnto made by Senator Curtis, of
Kansas, and Senator llollls. of New
Hampshire, showed the "cuffs" to be
lacking twelve of tho necessary two-
thirds vote, tho women, in view- ot me
treatment accorded them by Mr. Wilson
and In view of the tremendous landslldo
Inward suffrage flnce tho. New Yolk
victory, refute to put aside their op
tlmlsm They believe they are Koine to win
Moreover, they be'leve the With f'niiKress
will turn the trick Mr. Line's address
and the circumstances of lib' coming. In
fact, tho deferential treatment wnlch tho
suffragists have received throughout .he
