EXPECTS JERSEY TO RATIFY
Suffrage Leader Brands Legislative
Move for Referendum as "Trick"
Plalnfleld. N. J.. Jan. 21. (By A.
P.) Mrs. E. F. Felkert. president of
the New Jersey State Suffrage Associa
tion, declared her belief today that the
state Legislature will ratify the federal
uoman sultrage nmenumeut. She as-
sertcd the action of the Assembly jes-
teruay in deflarliu: for a referendum on
all constitutional amendments nrjor to
action by the Legislature was a
"trick."
"We attach no importance to the
Assembly's action." she baid. "It is
roerely a trick on the part of the Cain
den county assemblymen to make it ap
pear that there is n strong sentiment
for a referendum. So far ns I could
learn, no one but the Camden men
knew anj thing about tho resolution.
Instead of weakeniue our rniisc. thU
action has strengthened it."
Mrs. Feikcrt declared . she believed
that the resolution was introduced as a
irauu on an understanding between
James It. Nugent, of Ncwnrk, and
ltovid llaird. former United Stntv
lenator, of Camden.

Vast Stores for World Market
When General Blockade of
Russia Is Lifted
By the Associated Press
Washington, Jan. 21. Four hundred
milliou pounds of sugar, 20,000,000
bushels of wheat nnd large quantities
of hides und other mntcrlnls stored in
Ukraine will bo made available for the
markets of the world when the general
blockade of Russia is lifted, according
to an announcement here today by the
Ukrainian mission in America.
Ukraine needs medicines, surgical
goods, cloth, clothing, shoes und agri
cultural machinery, according to the
mission, which said the lack of medi
cines and clothing alone had reduced to
mi&ery great ureas of the Ukraine. It
was added that the receipt of needed
supplies would greatly assist the
Ukrainians in lighting the Bolsheviki.
Representatives of the Ukrainian co
operative societies arc now in Switzer
land, Franco, Eugland and other
countries, and it wns announced that a
delegation soon would arrivo In this
country to open headquarters.
Stockholm, Jan. 21. (By A. I'.)
Announcement from Paris of the re
opening of commercial relations between
allied countries and the Russian people
came as a surprise- to Sweden. Nobody
hero with the exception of Rjalmar
Branting, Socialist leader, thinks this
step will hasten the fall of the soviet
regime, but nevertheless it it) greeted
with general satisfaction, as an enor
mous market will be opened for Swedish
products.
Ai ail the Russian Baltic ports now
arc frozen the exchange of goods must
take place by the way of Hango or
Hcval. but the ruilroad through Finland
and the one through Esthonia are at
present unable to carry heavy traffic
and trade muht wuit until May or June
when ships will hd able to cuter Kron
stadt nnd Pctrogrnd.
Swedish hardware manufacturers have
large orders from Russia and makers of
separators, telephone nppnratus and
harvesters expect to exchange their
products for flax, hemp, wheat and rye.
It is the eencral oninion hcrp thnt
before trade is going on very long Russia
will be called upon to pay for stocks of
valuable goods which the soviet govern
ment confiscated two years ago and for
which pnvment was vainly demanded
before allied countries bevered diplo
matic relations with the Bolshevlkl'.

Waterloo, Iowa, non-stop, dirt road record (865.4 miles) in 24 hours.
THE demonstrations of the roadability of the
Franklin Car that have taken place all over
the country are intended merely o call 'attention
to this Franklin advantage not to prove it. Its
daily performance in the hands of its owners is
doing that.
Yet the consistency with which Franklin Cars
are making and breaking road records from
point to point is significant to most motorists,
for the cars used are stock models and differ in
no way from the average Franklin.
Why Franklin Averages Fast Time
The above performances are feats only made
possible by Franklin principles of light weight,
flexibility, and correct balance. They make rid
ing comfortable and handling easy and safe
under all conditions. Rough stretches and sharp
turns therefore do not slow the Franklin up at
they do other cars.
