PRESIDENT ASKYbAIRD
TO SUPPORT SUFFRAGE
Passage of Amendment Would
Strengthen U. S. as Democ
racy Champion
IVuitldnKton, Aug. 3.
Following Is a copy of the letter Presi
dent Wilson has sent lo Senator Baled, of
New Jersey, urging his support of the
woman suffrage measure In the upper house.
The letter was addressed to Senator lialrd.
It Is understood, partly because he repre
sented the President's home State and also
because he has been represented as not
having made up his mind definitely on the
Miblcct:
"My dear Senator Baird The whole sub
ject of woman suffrage has been very much
in my mind of late, nii'd has come to seem
to me part of tho International situation as
well as a question of capital Importance to
the United States. I believe that our present
position ns champions of democracy through
out the world would be greatly strengthened
If the Senate would follow the example of
the House of Representatives In passing the
pending amendment.
"I. therefore, take the liberty of writing
to call the matter to your serious attention
In this light, and to express the hope that
you will deem It wise to throw your vote
and influence on the side of this great and
, now critical reform."
A tew oays prior io -wic uniiuain ."n
dueted against tho .resolution by the Dem
ocrats and which resulted In Indefinitely post
poning a vote on the amendment, he an
nounced his Intention of voting against
suffrage.
The anti-suffrage forces in the Senate are
asserting that the President's letter will not
have much weight with the 'junior Senator
from New Jersey. Senator Balrd Is a close
friend of .Senator Penrose, who Is one of the
leaders against the amendment, and the
Pennsylvania Senator Is expected to keep
Senator Balrd In line so that he will vote
against the resolution when it is called up
some time In September.

WHAT A CONGRESSMAN SEES
Scmiwcckly Letter Touching on'tlw
Familiar to
By J. Hampton Moore
Washington, Aug. 3.
TyriCHAEL J. BROWN, wool merchant,
with nn otllco somewhere near the
trade headquarters at Front and Chest
nut streets, is n Republican of the old
school. An unflinching protectionist, who
has not forgotten some of the free trade
speeches delivered before the war. nnd
Just a little suspicious that "protection"
may be the big Issue after the war. Mr.
Hi-own "views with alarm" such third
term suggestions ns were recently
enunciated by William Potter, federal
fuel administrator for Pennsylvania,
formerly ambassador to Italy under n
Republican administration. Mr. Brown
admits that the Potter announcement was
so surprising that it flist gae hlin a
chill, but that he w.irmed up so tlmt he
could decently express himself after he
was reminded thnt the chief mission nf
it fuel administrator Is to supply heat to
the body. Michael J. Brown's vievr on the
tariff are sometimes quoted In Washing
ton. So nie bis statistics on building
associations, with which he has worked
for years along with Joseph H. Pnist. the
late Addison II. Burk and other Pennsyl
vania experts.
THE f
went
tight over the zone rates which
into effect July I Is echoing
around the Capitol yet. Some differences
between the magazine nnd newspaper
publishers have given an advantage to
the proponents of the new system, and
have contributed to the doubt about the
course of action to be pursued when the
new levenue bill comes before Con
gress. Reports Indicate that the enforce
ment of the zone system Is leading to
some confusion, although the postal offi
cials claim they have the matter well
In hand. There are a number of news
paper men In Congress who would con
tinue tile old ccnt-n-pound rate for second
class matter If they could, but they arc
somewhat divided because of the desire of
the country editors to protect what It
known as the "free In county" circulation.
The Pennsylvania 'publishers outside of
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh saw tho zone
rate coming and organized to meet the
situation by eliminating waste, discontlnu
ing free copies, cutting out free publicity,
reducing the number of editions, increasing
the price and otherwise promoting econ
omy and efficiency. E. J, Stnckpole, of the
Harrlsburg Telegraph, who. was the liar
risburg Ledger correspondent under
George AV. Chllds, was chairman of this
committee, ami W. L. Taylor, of the York
Dispatch, secretary. Stackpoie Is the man
who discovered editorial timber in Walter
Linn, of the North American, before ho
wits catapulted into the Pennsylvania
Manufacturers' Association and became a
high-light in Bristol.
THE1
Phi
RE are nt least two Yankees in the
hllaileiphla delegation in Congress
fleorge P. Harrow, of tlermantown. and
Peter E. Costello, of Tncony. Costtvlo Is
a Boston boy nnd Harrow comes from
Connecticut. Harrow keep? up his New
England associations, being the happy pos
sessor of n garden spot of n place, com
bining farm and seashore, at Oswegatchle.
just outside of Nev London. The home
stead of the elder Darrow was nearby,
and a orother. Courtland Darrow, Is the
Highway; Commissioner of New London;
so there Is some excuse for the summer
sighing of the Congressman In Washing
ton. When the recess came along by "a
