DRYS QUIT HITCHCOCK;
SHIFT TO UNDERWOOD
Anti-Saloon League Influence
May Decide Democratic
Leadership in Senate
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Staff CorrMpondent nf the EveDinr Fnbllo
Ledger
Washington, March 24. Tho Antl-
Soloon League has Intprvpnpd In tho
Senate leadership fight with tho result
mac senator underwood is likely to bo
Senate leader for tho Democrats, de
feating Mr. Hitchcock. Tho only thing
that could save Senator Hitchcock would
be administration support on tho
ground that he, not Senator Under
wood, reflected the President's view on
the treaty. White Houso interference
in Scnato organization would bo un
usual and might provoke resentment.
Mr. Hitchcock's recent telegram to
Mr. Shallinbcrgcr itl Nebraska, an
nouncing bis platform of moderating
the rigors of the Volstead act has
caused the activities of tho Anti-Saloon
Leaguo against him. Mr. Underwood
has himself been a wet, but it is under
stood that his present position is that
the prohibition issue is settled and he
has no desiro to reopen it. This atti
tude is satisfactory to tho Anti-Saloon
League.
Mr. Underwood is practically forced
to take this position by the dry senti
ment in his own Btatc, Alabama. Ho
is a candidate for ro-election to the
Senate with no assurance that be will
succeed. Anti-Saloon League support
in the leadership fight will help in tho
primaries.
Tho senators who have shifted from
Hitchcock to Underwood since Hitch
cock's wet declaration aro understood
to bo Senators Sheppard, of Texas, the
dry leader in tho Scnato; Scnntor
Trammel), of 'Florida, and Senator
Ashuret, of Arkansas.

Bangor, Me., March 25. (By A. P.)
Ratification of the peace treaty with
the reservations adopted by the Senate
was favored in resolutions presented to
the Republican stato convention today.
A resolution disapproving government

tors nnd tho choice of four delegates-at-largo
and eight district delegates to
the national convention. Leaders of
the convention expressed the opinion
that the delegates would be unlnstructed
and unpledged, although Major General

vass of candidates for ploccH on the
delegation showed they favored him.

CROWD THE CAPITAL
Two United States Senators
Argue the Cause of Votes
for Women
By GEORGE NOX Mc,CAIN
Dover, Del., March 25. A flood of
oratory in behalf of tho suffrage amend-,
ment was unloosed today in tho hall of
tho Houso of Representatives when ad
vocates of tho causo pleaded before a
Joint session of tho Legislatura for rati
fication of tho measure on which do
pends the hopes of tno women for the
vote at next fall's election.
Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles, chair
man of the Delawaro National Woman's
Suffrago party, Introduced tho speakers.
Mrs. Carrio Chapman Catt occupied
less than ten minutes In her address. It
was an Impassioned appeal for votes for
women tho working women particu
larly. Tho address of Senator W. D. Mc
Kcllar, Democrat, of Tennessee, at
tracted tho most attention. It struck
at the fear of negro domination which
is rampant here now. He Is a heavily
built, smooth-shaven man who spoke
with a pronounced eouthern accent. Ho
called it the "nigger" question, and
asked whether the men of pelawaro
wero so afraid of the lssuo that would
deny their wives, mothers and sisters
n voto whon they gnvo It to negro men.
It only meant doubling tho vote of Del
awaro, and by giving tho whlto women
tho vote they would offset twice over
tho 0000 votes of tho negro women.
Hubbub Squelched
Representative McNabb, Democratic
whip, at ono stage interrupted Senator
McICellar with n cry, "That's unfair,"
concerning one of his statements, nnd
quite a hubbub ensued, which the
speaker promptly squelched. One of the
women tried to interrupt also, but was
called to order.
Theso episodes howed tho good sense
of the Scnato in blocking yesterday Uie
attempt to hold today's hearing in the
Opera House. Not only would the pro
ceedings had been unlawful, in remov
ing it from the Stato House, but it
rrugnt navo led in tne excited state ot
the public mind to outbreaks and fights.
Senator McKcllaa rapped tho Repub
lican party for blocking suffrage in Del
aware, and then declared that the Dem
ocrats (vcro not'a -whit beWndyn-faold-ing
up tho ratification resolution.
Question of Straight Americanism
United States Senator Sterling, of
flnillli Ttn1ntn ilfutlntui.l 1i A fr 41a m..kh
tion of ratification by Delawaro was
not a question ot Democratic or llo
publican politics, but of straight Amer
icanism and absolute right. He stated
that opposition in South Dakota and
Iowa to tho suffrage movement had como
from tho counties noted for their
foreign-born clement, and for their
backwardness in education and Ameri
canism. At one stago of his addresu thoro wero
several low groans of dissent, which,
however, beyond attracting attention,
did not disturb tho speaker. The earnest
ness of tho senator appealed very
strongly to every ono present from sur
face indications at least.
Suffrago leaders and lieutenants from
nil points of Delawaro were in tho great
throng thnt packed the hall of tho
House. Mrs. John F. Winchester, of
Delaware City: Mrs. Alfred Gnwthrop,
Mrs. Robert Richards, Mrs. William

SUPPORTING ARTICLE X
Senators Opposing President's
Views to Bo Fought in Their
Own States
House Applauds Demand
That Wilson Shouldn't Run
Washington, March 25. (By A.
P.) Both Democrats nnd Repub
licans cheered a statement in the
nouso today by Representative
Humphreys, Democrat, Mississippi,
that President Wilson should mako
an immediate announcement thnt he
was not a candidate for a third
term.
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Staff Correspondent of tne Erenlnr Pablta
Waslilngton, March 25. A plank is
already being prepared for tho Demo
cratic national convention Indorsing in
tho most unqunllfid terms President
Wilson's position on Article X. Tho
plank is described by those who have
seen it as ono "with teeth In it."
Tho Intention is, wherever possible,
to commit the Democratic pnrty to tills
plank in ndvanco of tho San Francisco
convontion. Where stato nnd district
conventions nro held and in primary
states where declarations of platform
aro mado in advance by candidates for
delegates or where state committees
meet and declare the pnrty's Intentions
a strong effort will be made to havo the
President's plank accepted.
Democratic senators who failed to
Btand with Mr. Wilson in tho treaty
fight will bo fought in their own states
wherever there is a chance of the Pres
ident's friends controlling conventions
or stato committee meetings.
Thus tho President will not wait till
San Francisco for the decision of this
lssuo, if he can force the light and
hind tho delegates to the national con
vention in advance of its meeting. These
tactics havo their advantnge. The Dem
ocratic leaders who want to desert
President Wilson and dodge the issue
naturally want to postpone the evil day
when a fight with him Is necessary as
long as possible. It will bo easier to
hrfak.isyiUVvhtnv jit,,San Francisco than
at any"cafllcr"tfnic.
N Wilson I Strongest Now
Up till tho meeting of tho convention
the President will remain the unques
tioned lender of his party. But tho
moment a new candidate is chosen there
will be a new leader. When a new
lender is in sight it will bo natural to
consult his wishes and censo to obey
the dictates of tho present occupnnt of
the Whlto House.
Thus Mr. Vilson Is stronger now
than ho will be when the convention as
sembles. By lining up his party on tho
leaguo now instead of waiting for the
Sun Francisco convention tho President
may bo oblo to enter tho convention
with largo organized support for his
Artlclo X plan.
Ono of the cabinet omecrs who is
nctlvo in drawing up this plank Is Post
master General Burlesoh. Two other
cabinet members arc associated with
him, but their names aro not disclosed.
Mr. Burleson is having the fight ot his
life in Tcxns, whero ox-Senator Bailey
Is seeking to ro-cstabllsh himself as
leader of his party. Tho Texas fight
will be a straight-out administration
nnd antl-ndmlnistratlon. Mr. Burleson
is appealing for support on tho ground
nf his faithful support of the President.
It is expected that tho Article X plank
which Is being prepared will bo used by
Burleson in that contest.
Much Depends on Texas
A good denl will depend upon tho
issue of the Texas primaries. If tho
administration lssuo Is rejected in
Texas, there will be a big block of delo
gates who will co-opcrato with soma ot
the southern and custom delegates
against Wilson's control of tho Ban
Francisco convention.
But also tho moral effect of a d of cat
of tho President's plank in Texas would
be considerable. The battlo In Texas Is

FUNDS FOR HOUSING
HERE, SAYS MAYOR
Plenty of Money Can Be Ob
tained Under Restrictions He
Assorts After Conference
BANKERS AGAINST TAXES
"Thero is plenty of money for build
ing operations In Philadelphia, subject
to proper restrictions."
This was the emphatio statement of
Mayor Moore today, after a conference
In his private oflico with representatives
of the leading trust companies of tha
city.
The Mayor called tho meeting to dis
cuss remedial measures for tho houso
shortage. It has been stated time and
time ngain that present conditions nave
been brought about by the failure of
builders to erect dwelling houses during
tha war period.
This was blamed principally of late on
Inability to get funds. Therefore the
Mayor called the bankers together to
talk over tho situation.
Tho bankers themselves protested
against the prevailing methods of
federal taxation, to which they ascribed
conditions of business unrest.
Tho meeting today is to be followed
according to the Mayor, by a meeting
in which he will talk things over simi
larly with the operative builders.
Some of tho city's most prominent
bankers discussed the housing question
with tho Mayor at the meeting.
Mayor Issues Statement
Aftcrt the conference Mayor. .Mooro
gave out tno 10110 wing statement:
"I havo been seeking information
with rceard to buildins operations, and
hopo later to confer with some of the
operative Dunuers, to sec wnetner con
stmctlon cannot bo stimulated.
"Talks wero given and suggestions
made nt tho conference today by George
H. Carlo, Jr., uimner IJccoer. John 11.
Mason. Michnel J. Ryan, John A. Car-
ruth, Francis A. Lewis and otqers.
"I wns told that all business was
somewhat cautionB because of the na
tional conditions, and a general protest
was set up against tho present form of
federal taxation, which disturbs busi
ness. Money Plentiful Under Restrictions
"It appeared, however, that there is
plenty 01 money for building operations
in Philadelphia under proper restric
tions. "In tho course of his talk, Mr. Enrlo
said that tho housing conditions were
not special to Philadelphia, but wero
world wtdo. In England, no said, thoy
wero worse than they aro in tho United
States."
Tho conferenco in the Mayor's oflico
lasted moro than two hours. It was
strictly private, only U1030 summoned
by tho Mayor being admitted. None of
tne participants would talk at its con
clusion, tho Mayor making the only
statement.

The davllght-suvlngs program adopted
by tho New York board of aldertten
causes the official clock in that city to

This will mean that tho New York

as usual by the clocks, will be open
when clocks in Philadelphia indicate

Unless tho exchange hero hnd con
