Party Conference Decides to
Put Forth Best Efforts in
V 12 Suffrage States.
HUGHES' COURSE LAUDED
Progressives, Prohibitionists and
Socialists Congratulated on Defi
nite StandPortland Woman
Delivers Address.
' COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.. Aug. 11.
The National Woman's Party. In
executive conference here, pledg"ed it
self today to use Its best efforts in the
12 equal suffrage states to defeat the
Democratic) candidate for President;
congratulated the Progressive. Prohibi
tion and Socialist parties on their in
dorsement of suffrage for women by
National action, and commended the
position of Charles Evans Hughes, the
Hepubllcan nominee.
The statement of policy was con
tained In three resolutions unanimous
ly adopted, setting: forth the attitude of
the Woman's party: First, with respect
to the Democratic party; second, with
respect to the Progressive, Piphibition
and Socialist parties, and finally upon
the announced stand of Charles B.
Hughes upon National equal suffrage.
The text of the first resolution said:
"Whereas. Each of the other National
parties, either by their platform or
through their candidates, are pledged
to the passage of a Federal amendment
enfranchising women;
Democrats to Be Opposed.
"Resolved. That the National Woman's
party, so long as the opposition of the
Democratic party continues, pledges
Itself to use its best efforts in the 12
states where women vote for President
to defeat the Democratic candidate for
President, and In the 11 states where
women vote for members of Congress
to defeat the candidates of the Demo
cratic party for Congress."
The second resolution reads:
"Resolved. That we congratulate the
Progressive, Prohibition and Socialist
parties upon the definite stand which
they have taken in their indorsement
of suffrage for women by National ac
tion." The third resolution said:
"Resolved, That Ve commend the po
sition of the Republican candidate for
President, Charles Evans Hughes, for
the unequivocal stand which he has
taken for human liberty by his indorse
ment of suffrage for women by Na
tional action, and assure him of our
appreciation of his statesman-like po
sition.
Democrats Fall, Says Mrs. Field.
Mrs. Sara Bard Field, of Portland,
Or., delivered one of the principal ad
dresses today. She declared that the
63d Oongress had been indifferent to its
opportunity to make a record for Itself
on a fundamental democratic principle,
and would go down In history as hav
ing failed In Its duty. She declared
that the gro-lng power of the Wom
an's party should influence the 64th
Congress to redeem Its predecessor.
'Mrs. Field, attributed to President
Wilson personally the failure of the
Congressional Union for Equal Suf
frage to get what It wanted at the
Democratic National convention at St,
Louis.
"The men said It was the first time
they had ever heard valid arguments
for granting the suffrage," continued
Mrs. Field. "They meant It was the
first time they had grasped the fact of
how many votes we women hold and
what we are going to do with them.
"Then Secretary Baker appeared with
the President's platform In his pocket
and the President's instructions In his
mind. Both were unfavorable to us
and so was Secretary Baker. What the
President said went."
Thereafter, Mrs. -Field said, she wrote
and telegraphed the President offering
her services and those. of five other
women in the Fall campaign if he
would use his Influence toward the
suffrage amendment pending In Con-
Kress, and the President replied In a
telegram expressing the hope that the
action of the convention had been satis
factory. Sleepless Nights Recalled.
"1 do not wish to be unduly harsh
toward the President," continued Mrs.
Fiejd, "but as a member of the Woman's
party, considering the suffrage ques
tion alone, I think It nothing short of
unpardonable Indifference to our cause
that, in the face of the gigantic strug
gle which women have made, the sleep
less nights, the foodless days, the tire
less labor, the sacrificial giving and
striving, the President writes Into his
platform a plank opposed to all our
views and then says he hopes we are
satisfied.
"Satisfied with whatT With defeatT
Satisfied with a stone when we asked
for bread?"
Mrs. William Kent, wife of Represen
tative Kent, of California, told the del
egates they held It In their power to
secure a Federal suffrage amendment.
Only a small turnover of votes In the
13 Western suffrage states, she said.

of the November election.

PUBLICITY IS URGED
Mr. Hughes Would Turn Light
on Administration.
PROTECTION IS ADVOCATED
Country, Says Speaker, Must Be
Strong Enough to Prevent Abuses
at Home and Protect Amer
icans When Abroad.
(Continued From First Pass.)
after tha Russo-Japanese war, Russia,
Instead of being steeped in debt, had
doubled In prosperity, there was every
indication that recovery from financial
burdens Imposed upon the present Eu
ropean belligerents would be much
more rapid than anticipated now. This.
he declared, made doubly important the
need for commercial preparedness In
the United States for conditions when
peace should be restored.
In his discussion tonight of Demo
cratic principles, Mr. Hughes quoted
from the Democratic platforms of 1856
1860 and 1912.
"In 1856," the nominee said, "the
Democratic platform said It was uncon
stitutional for the United -States to
spend money on Internal improvements.
Witness the rivers and harbors bill
passed the other day.
Democrats Misunderstand Constitution.
"In 1860 the Democratic platform
said it was unconstitutional to charter
National banks. Where does It stand
on that today?
"Why, that dear old party has been
misunderstanding the Constitution ever
since before I' was born and I don't
believe it ever will understand it.
"In 1860 the Democratic platform de
clared that it stood for the protec
tion of the rights of American citizens,
wherever they might be. This was re
affirmed . in 1912. - Now that was all
right. The only question Is, why don t
they do It?
"In 1912, the Democratic platform de
clared a protective tariff was uncon
stitutionaL Now they are coming
around to the idea just about that
much (indicating a lew inches) on the
dyestuff question. When it comes
question of tariff, the Democratic party
hasn't any principles at all. It is
simply a party, so far as the tariff is
concerned, for votes only."
In assailing the Administration for
its appointments to the diplomatic
service, Mr. Hughes declared that some
appointments were of no more use
"than the Atlanticcable" and that the
first lesson that the country had to
learn, so far as appointments was con
cerned. was "that public offite Is not
a private snap.
Columbus Massacre Avoidable.
Responsibility for the situation in
Mexico was placed at the door of the
Administration by 'Mr. Hughes.
"If we had adopted a firm policy,
the right policy of insisting upon our
rights, insisting that American rights
be protected, and had not meddled In
Mexico's internal affairs, the situation
In that country would not be what it
is today, I firmly believe, he said.
"What about Columbus?" a man
asked, from the audience.
"I believe,- if w h&d Adopted a, firm
policy toward Mexico there would not
have been any trouble at Columbus,"
Mr. Hughes replied. "We should have
adopted such a policy, insisted on our
rights and should have executed that
policy if necessary."
The nominee defended his opposition
to the income tax bill while he fas
Governor of New Tofk on the grounds
that under the measure It might have
been possible to tax state and muni
cipal securities.
TEX SPEECHES MADE IX DAT
Nominee Enjoys Experience and
Women AVelcome Mrs. Hughes
MILES CITT. Mont.. Aug. 11. (Spe
cial.) Charles E. Hughes, in a series
of platform speeches today, asked the
voters of the country to accept his rec
ord as Governor of New York State
as evidence of the fact that he would
o. iter Into no political Intrigues or per
mit political expediency or political
Mas to hamper him In giving the
United States an honest, economic and
efficient government if elected Presi
dent. As his train sped through West
ern North Dakota and into Montana
en route to the Far West. Mr. Hughes
.rove home that point to the crowds
of Western voters who collected at the
10 stops his train made to welcome
him.
Throughout the day Mr. Hughes.
using his denunciation of political In
trigue and waste as a foundation, built
up a programme of efficiency, economy,
the protection of American business
and agricultural interests and the
maintenance of American honor. His
protestations of independence struck a
responsive chord with the cattlemen,
and they cheered frequently.
The cay was lull or interest for Mr.
Hughes, who had not campaigned In
North Dakota or Montana before. His
early restraint, however, soon was
overcome. . Before the train bad made
Its way far into Dakota he was strid
lng up and down, the platform, drawing
In long breaths of . the Invigorating
Western air and swapping stories with
cowboys and cattlemen. His campaign
lacked many or the spectacular fea
tures of the Roosevelt methods In the
West, and the people also showed a
restraint not apparent when Colonel
Roosevelt was here. They knew Roose
velt: they were "sizing up" Hughes,
who heretofore has been a man of
mystery to them.
Mrs. Hughes was welcomed by the
women at the little towns along the
route with a cordiality that warmed
her heart. At Medora, N. D.. where
Colonel Roosevelt once owned a ranch.
Mr. Hughes lumped to the station plat
form to talk with several of the Colo
nel's old-time friends.
The day's activities started at Bls
mark. N. D., at 8:20 o'clock this morn
ing. A crowd of 1000 was at the sta
tion to greet him. At Dickinson he
promised to conduct the Government
without fear or favor and to make the
party serve the Government. There
were other addresses at Mandan, Beach.
Glendlve and Forsythe and some "tank
towns." At each stop the whole town
turned out. always headed by a brass
band.
All of today, across the great ranch
country of Western North Dakota and
through the bad lands Into Montana
and the ore fields, he has driven home
the doctrine of efficiency, economy, the
protective tariff and the upholding of
the National honor.
