In rcfering to published accounts of

and sensational articles from the time of

Exception is also taken to the

Next to the willingness of Senator
Penrose to compromise on the contract
clause was the report that Governor
Sproul favored the passage of the Drady
registration bills. It was said that the
Governor would sign the measures, even
the one ripping out the present board
ot registration commisnioners in Phila

nor is to appoint a new board within
ten days after the passage of the bill
According to the report, the Governor,
If the bill passes, would give the Pen

ANOTHER VOTE NEEDED
SAYS SUFFRAGE CHIEF
Nocossary Two-thirds in Senate
19 Not Pledged, Warns
Miss Alice Paul
Alius Alloc Paul, national chairman of
the wotnnn'H paitj, says the Momari
suffrage amendment is again threatened
with defeat unless the lenders of the
Republican pnrtj secure another vote, or
President Wilson gains tlie support of
an additional Democrat.
The statement was made following a
discussion of the suffrage situation witli
a number of prominent local smflrogists.
In part AUss Paul said:
'In spite of repeated statements bv I
the Republican leaders that the amend-1 work of the welfare organization's mln
ment will push ns soon as Congress con- I uur.n" ," t.h" nf"U "','"' troops and
venes, suffragists cannot rest content
while one'ot the necessary two-thitcls'
vpte is still unpledged.
"The failure of Senators Dial, of
South Carolina: Keyes, of New Hamp
shire; Hniris. of Georgia, nnd Harrison,
of Mississippi, definitely to declare their
positions involves the situation in un
certain!. "Ninety-two Senators hnve an
nounced their suffrage stand; slxt.v
three nre for nnd twenty-nine against.
Of the four uncertain men three nre
Democrats nnd one a Itepublican. Of
those pledged, thirty-eight are. He
publicans nnd twenty-five arc Demo
crats. Of those against there nre ten
Republicans! mid nineteen Democrats.
The proportion of Republicans and
Democrats m support of the amend
ment, therefore, stands "8 per cent Re
publicans to fi.'l per cent Democrats,
a change in favor of Republicans since
tlie last Congress, when the proportion
was 7." per cent ltepublicans to d" per
cent Democrats.
"According to the present poll twenty-five
states will vote solidly for suff
rage. With the one exception of Senator
Ilnrah, the entire West is lined up foe-
the amendment. In the Middle v est
the only votes not in favor nre tliose of
Senator Iteed. of Atissotirl; Senator
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, nnd Senator
Pomereiic, of Ohio. The state Legis
latures iccpiested Heuntors Hitchcock
and Poniereno to vote for the amend
ment. Opposition to tlie amendment Is
now concentrated along the Atlantic
seaboard, having been pushed steadily
castvvard since, in 18fi'J, W)oniing cn
fianehised its. women.
"No new Senators have declared
themselves against the amendment.
Nine new Senators have declared their
support of the amendment. Four new
Senators hnvc not stated their position.
Kvery new Hcpublican Seuntor but the
one. Senator Kejes. of New Hampshire,
who is noncommittal, has declared
himself for the amendment."

JEWISH WAR WORKER
.ANSWERS "Y" CRITICS
Mortimer L. Schiff Tells Young
Hebrews Association Did
Good Work
Criticism of tlie Young Alen'a Chris
tian Association for a few mistakes
made before Its organization abroad had ,
been perfected was emphatically con-'
demncd last uight at a meeting in the
Young Jlen'M llebrew Association by
Mortimer li. Schiff, chairman of the
Jewish welfare board nnd a member of
the committee of eleven of the national
war welfare board.
Air. Schiff, who is a member of the
bonking house of Kulin, Ixieb &, Co.,
New Yoik, has just returned from
abroad, where be went to study the
to effect a closer co-oidlnation of these
igein les.
In Kuropc lie visited all the Jewish
welfare board centers and many of the
centers operated by other agencies. In
an effort to determine whether any of
the criticism directed against the Y. Al.
C. A. is justified ho paid particular at
tention to the work done by that or
ganization. "It is unfair nnd unjust to criticize
the Y. Al. C. A.," he said last night.
"It did good work. But like all other
war wrlfaie organizations, like the
'American expeditionary force itself, it
made blunders. hen these were dis
covered they were corrected.
"The Y. AL C. A. nnd all other
agencies doing welfare work abroad did
not Walt until their organizations were
perfect. If they bad they would Hot be
there yet. Due credit should be given
to the Y. Al. C. A. for the really ex
cellent work it did in Trance."
The Philadelphia headquarters ot the
Jewish welfare board was called the
most active in the country bv Air.
Schiff. He also praised the work this
organization did in France
