SUFFRAGE FIGHT
MAY NOT BE OVER,
SAYS LAWRENCE
By David Idwrcnce
. ' Copyrighted. 1920. by Tha Journal)
Washington, Aug. 21. Assuming
" the ratification of the suffrage
amendment by Tennessee or other
states, there1 are some .legal obsta
cles that must be - overcome be
fore women everywhere will be per
matted to vote in the presidential
election this year.
1 While the women' leaders do not anti
clpate much difficulty and believe that
the public official who dares to prevent
, women from voting this time is merely
committing t presidential suicide, never
theless It is possible for reluctant state
officials with a grudge against, woman
suffrage to manipulate matters In such
a way as to prevent the Qualification
-of woman voters this year.
OBSTACLE IS SEEK
The nineteenth amendment to the con
stitutlon merely declares that women
shall have the right to vote, but another
article in the constitution 'gives to tne
states the full right to determine the
justifications of voters.
Anticipating Just such trouble the na
tional woman's party made i a canvass
of all states . where It seemed as if
special legislation were necessary to en
able women to vote, this year if the
federal amendment were ratified.
Minnesota. "North Dakota. Missouri
Massachusetts, Virginia and. Maine
'passed such legislation at the same time
that their legislators were, in special ses
sion to ratify the federal amenament.
- Oeoriria. Hhode Island and West Vir
ginia have not done so, though in two
instances the day for registering voters
has already passed.
urn BttWRin-K-ft HFT.H : -I
Florida, Vermont-and Connecticut have
had no sessions of their respective legis
latures, so nothing could be done in the
way ef, enabling legislation, i
v On the other hand, it is fully expected
that the governors of the Jast three
states now will call special sessions
to permit women to qualify as' voters.
The question has "been a difficult one
to determine, for In most cases wnen
the National Woman's party has ap
pealed to the attorney generals of the
several states for rulings, these officials
have been reluctant to say what their
opinions would be. j - ;
Usually they did not want to Interfere
In H-he suffrage controversy, because of
the division of sentiment among party
leaders.'- Now, however, the question is
no longer, hypothetical and the attorney
generals will be forced to render a final
judgment !
1'KESSUKE CEliTAIN
If it is .adverse, all the pressure which
the women can exert will be applied
to obtain special sessions of the legis
latures, evep in midsummer, in order
i to. permit the enrollment of women
'voters. The leaders have in each case
been asking for a simple piece of legis
lation to the effect that the same rules
-shall apply to' the new women voters
that cove the male voters who reach
the age of21. , .Usually evidence of resi
dence in the states and citizenship is
mil that fs . required.
The Southern states present an Inter
esting phase of the question, for -while
very little is said about it at suffrage
headquarters, no one believes the South
ern states will permit negro women to
vote any more thsn they do men.
The usual obstacles, such as the pay
ment of pull tax and educational quail
f Scat Ions, are expected to be used. i
FEARS ABE ALLATED
In fact, the suffrage workers used to
tell the Southern legislators that their
fears of woman suffrage ; were bound
to prove groundless because of this very i
power to determine the qualifications of
voters which lies In the ha'nds of sev
eral states. t i
- Although Tennessee's verdictf has re- j
mained in doubt for the last two days
and the women leaders have exhibited
considerable nervousness about the pros-:
pect of a reconsideration by the Ten- i
nessee legislature of her vote of Wed
nesday., all hope was. by no means con
sidered "gone if . the ratification by Ten
nessee did not materialise. Florida was
selected as the next, battleground. In '
that state a special session of the legis
lature has been expected. Moreover,
a majority of the members of the state
legislature signed a petition urging the
two . United States senator from the,
state to vote for suffrage when the fed
eral amendment "Vitas, last, voted upon.

erto : had ijot been made public." In
cluded: ' , . ? I . ( ': -
Creation of a PoUsh civlc - militia"
composed of workers, to be armed with
surplus munitions demanded ' from Po

demand was contained in , the opening
speech of M. Danlshevsky,. chief of the
soviet : armistice t commission, who
pointed out that such a military body
could be 'depended upon not to take up
arms against the Bolshevik!.) "j y -FOREIGN

Poland shall not allow troops of any
foreign state'to enter or remain on Po
lish territory. ; ' -
Poland shall return alii rolling stock.
cattle and other materials removed from.
Russian territory. j : -
Aside from these demands the terms
were precisely the same as those trans
mitted to Premier Lloyd George several
days ago, which he advised the Poles to
accept. .The more important of these
were: t It'
Recognition of Poland's 'full independ
ence by Russia and Ukralnla. j
Renunciation of any form of indem
nity from Poland. ! i ! .
Establishment of the i Russo-Pollsh

FRANCE ANt BR1TAIX WARN
POLAND AGAINST INVASION
By 'swtoa C. Parks t !
v Paris, Aug. 21. (L N. S.) France and
England have conveyed a strong warning
to Poland not to attempt! any ! further
invasion of Russia after clearing , their
own ethnological frontiers of the , Bol
shevist forces, it was learned jfrom a
trustworthy source today. - j
, The moment that the Poles turn their
present counter offensive t into : a new
invasion of Russia, the allies will with
draw their support. This has been mad
clear to the Warsaw government by bota
Paris and London.
WAE2IJfG IS HEEDED
In diplomatic circles here it' is felt
that the Poles, mindful of their bitter ex
perience after their first "march on Mos
cow," which brought them so near dis
aster, will heed the allied warning this
time, x : : a' H - ..j; j
.The warning was conveyed to th
Warsaw government by the allied mis
sions on their return to .the-ToIlsh. cap
ital from Posen. Poland was told In un
mistakable terms that Polish : forces
must be allowed . to cross the Russlaa
frontier only in-cases where military
strategy maker it imperative for reai
sons of safety or In orderj to turn the
Russian SDBittona. However, ' as' soon
as their military objectives are achieved,
the Poles must retire behind their own
frontiers, they have been told. : j , j
LABOR WOULD RESEHTj IT . l'
-" It was pointed out to the Warsaw gov
ernment that should . the Poles I repeat
their march on Kief, or should the cries
"On to- Moscow" once . more resound
through Poland as before Titotzkyj turned
the tables on the Polish array, organized
labor in both France and Britain would
be quick to bring the heaviest pressure
on the Paris and London governments
and charge them with Supporting a mili
taristic adventure. .- s V j . ( j,
Furthermore, it was pointed out, a new
Polish invasion of soviet Russia; would
defeat the possibilities of peace i in true
Eaat which are considered to have been
greatly strengthened during: the last few
weeks. ' v y;-;i - i t
The allied missions further made 4t
blear to Poland that if, after the Rus
sians have been driven beyond the Polish
ethnological boundaries, and the 'armis
tice and peace negotiations at Minsk are
pursued satisfactorily, General WTangel,
the anti-Bolshevik leader in theCrimea,
will receive no further substantial znjji
tary support. The. French In, that case
win use Wrangel'a position as a "trading
point" in the general peace negotiations

" "We are net satisfied with the full

man beings must have more than ani
mals ; they must have more than food
for their stomachs. Therefore1. tits-Dem
ocratic party .does . not adopt the old
Republican slogan. It is an isult to
our people. -We are not going to leave
well enough aione, . just because the
country is prosperous. We want pros

Roosevelt" spoke at length on the: navy,
"I am not a militarist, but our navy
must be adequate for. national defense.
The war resulted in the creation of the
second largest navy in the. world for
this country. The American navy is
second only to England's. . j
"Let us examine tjhe future. We have
three courses open. We can reduce our
navy without regard to what other na
tions are doing. This would be danger
ous. W can return to the old pre-war
competitive building, which will result
in 'great expense, or the last resort rests
in the League of Nations. j
"I have no doubt iut that the nations
of the world, sitting . around a "single
table, could reach an agreement as to a
fair relative ratio of the different armies
and navies to be maintained by j. each
power. ' : - . -' ;'- v , I
"Under this ratio, England and the
United States would - have superior
navies to the other powers, bat thej sizes
would be materially reduced. ' ' This
would cut the cost of naval construction
in half and would flft - the burden of
maintaining armament from the should
ers of humanity. Wouldn't this be worth
while?" . : -: M -f'---:. -. ; '
In connection with the navy on the
PaclflCwCoast, "Roosevelt had hla to say:
"Even if the fleet were greatly reduced
in size under an International agree
ment by the League of Nations, we shall
have to Improve the naval facilities for
taking care of the fleet on the Pacific
coast.' We know now that our shore fa
cilities at Puget sound, at San Fran
cisco bay. and in Southern California,
are wholly inadequate. - We . have, not
enough docks to base the whole fleet on
the pacific coast. Neither have we
enough repairs facilities or storehouses.
We have not enough water in the chan
nel to get to one of the principal navy
yards. f ' !
: "It has been a Democratic administra
tion which has .recognized the needs i li
the Pacific, and it will be another Demo
cratic administration which will Carry
out the splendid work already begun.

Democratic nominee for vice president.
Senator . W. E. Borah Friday declared
ROOf LEAGUE IDEA
BE
ANSWER TO COX
Washington, Aug. 21. (U. P.)
Behind the scenes, leaders of the Re
publican party are framing in de
tail a new project for international
peace, it was understood here today,
World-prominent 1 figures of European
powers are said to be working In full
cooperation on the plan. This scene
elaborated in . full will ,be . hauled out
on ' the political stage . at 'the psycho
logical moment "of the campaign, ac
cording to, present, plans. " '
Elihu Root, representing the United
States ' abroad on the project, ' now is
expected to . return - before long with
outlines of the entire .plan.
PLAN HARDING. ANSWER
It will be , Harding's answer to the
Democratic - charges that- he favors
staying out of the League of Nations.
Harding-and his advisers are in this
manner planning to take into full ac
count the desire of American voters for
some means of International coopera
tion to lessen the dagger ' of war.
They will continue vigorously to op
pose entering the ' present league as
framed at Paris, but they will Just as
emphatically declare for organization of
a new association t based on the plan
they intend to present during the cam
paign, it is said here. - i
ROOT IDEA NURSED
' With announcement of this plan, the
argument will be made that European
nationals' are not manifesting any in
terest In the present league and that
It is dying of neglect. They 'will pre
sent the Root plan as one having the
approval of European statesmen as
being a less ambitious project and
therefore one - having a better chance
of getting started, t : :
Colonel George Harvey, publicist. ' is
expected here today to confer . with
Harding on this question. 'v
Only vaguet suggestions are available
here, but it is suggested the Root plan
containsa judicial body rather than an
administrative one, as provided for in
the present league covenant, f
that before the middle ' of October
Democratic candidates would accept the
League of Nations - with all the Lodge
reservations since Roosevelt offered (o
incorporate new reservations into the
league. "Roosevelt said America offered
peace to Germany on 14 points, said
Borah. "Not one of the 14 points was
adopted. Since Roosevelt offers reserve
tions it shows the Democrats will accept
all the Lodge reservations.'..
ROOSEVELT CALLS HARDING
A SYNDICATED NOMINEE
Olympia, Wash., Aug. 21. To a large
crowd assembled In front of the Wash
ington state capital Franklin D. Roose
valt today laid bare the purposes of
the two contending political parties and
the stand of the two on the issues of
the campaign. By their votes at the
coming election the people of this na
tion will expose their, choice, he de
clared, between retrogression and prog
ress and between a syndicated govern
ment and - a government, of capable
leaders.
"This is not a time for local issues, for
front porch campaigns," - the vice presi
dential nominee bored in. "It is not a
time to ' be looking backward. There
are too many big problems to be solved,
too many opportunities, and there is too
great a crisis to talk about going back
ward to the good old days.: It is a time
for the right kind of dissatisfaction, a
dissatisfaction that stimulates us to go
forward, to improve : on the things we
have. Why. if there hadn't-been the
right kind of dissatisfaction in England,
In Holland and in France, we would not
be here today. It was the progressive
dissatisfaction that led Immigrants to
America and the dissatisfaction of the
inhabitants of .the original 13 states that
led them westward until they met the
waters of the Pacific There is the same
kind of dissatisfaction, the right kind,
prevalent in this country today. Under
those conditions bo man has a right to
talk about looking backward. No man
has a right to talk" of a return to the
good old days." -"' '
CALLS HARDING STRADDLES , '
Roosevelt spoke of Harding's record
as a straddling reactionary, as a man
identified with Penrose, Smoot, Watson
and Root, and to those men be owed his
nomination, he insisted. He deprecated
the thought 'of a "syndicated presi
dency.".' . 4 - . .
-"The Republican party was sold out
by those men, Rooseevlt hurled. "The
progressives of their own party, the
men who look forward, were cast over
board. Mr. Harding's nomination was
decided upon in a hotel rom at X :11
a. m. and several amendments to the
platform were lost down the elevator
shaft..-.
"It was not so at San Francisco. Mr,
Cox and I were both nominated in the
open. The cards were all ouV amend
ments to the, platform were adopted on
the floor of the house, and the public
knows where we stand on every, issue,
KITS LEAGUE POSITION
Driving at Senator Harding's position,
or perhaps, laclr of position, on the
League of Nations Issue and on the suf
frage question, Roosevelt reiterated inci
dents of both campaigns. - "The morn
ing after Senator Harding's speech of
acceptance two big New 'York Rallies,
both Republican, . interpreted' his : posi
tion in the League of Nations." . .
Thank Ood." 'said the Tribune, "we
know where Senator Harding stands on
the league He made it clear in his
speech of acceptance that he is for rat
ification with the Lodge reservations.
The same morning the Sun com
mented editorially. Thank heavens we
knew Harding's position on the league
questions, f His speech of acceptance
makes ft clear, that he is against the
league.':.;;-;- j - VV'" - ""
HARDING AND SUFFRAGE
"Senator Harding's position, in regard
to suffrage, was much the same. In
1916 he was called upon by suporters of
the amendment to make his stand clear
with the answer that it was too grave
question to decide without serious con
sideration. In 1917 he was again forced
to discuss the issue. This time he re
plied that it was too large a question for
one man to decide, that, he must await
a party conference. Next it came up
for a vote. Harding was absent and
finally, after its passage was' assured,
when there was no doubt as te its suc
cess, Harding got on the bandwagon. He
had found,, suddenly, that it was a great
measure.

HARDING REFUSAL
TS
Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 21. -Gov
ernor James M. Cox expressed dis
appointment Friday when ho learned
that Senator : Warreri O. Harding
would not speak with: him from, the
same platform at the Ohio state fair
here on Tuesday, August 31. ,
! When the Democratic 'presidential can
didate announced a few5 days ago that
he had acccepted the Invitation to speak
at the fair he understood his Republican
adversary had already j accepted. - The
governor was advised today, however,
that Senator Harding I had announced
that he would not accept the invitation'
and would not speak at (the fair on tho
date Governor Cox will appear.
i "I am very sorry Senator Harding
will not be there to -speak," said the
governor. "I .had spent an hour at home
already preparing my speech. ",
i "I had stated my willtoigness to speak
first. A man usually prefers to speak
last, but as a courtesy to the senator 1
was willing to precede him "
i Governor Cox retuned Friday from
South Bend,: Ind., where he spoke
Thursday afternoon and night He
was highly pleased with the results of
his invasion of Indiana he said.
COX LETS GO -NEW BOMB
AT THE
(Continued From ;Paia Ont)
neerlng. arrogant oligarchy in the sen
ate, and . that they have deliberately
interfered with, the welfare of the world
and delayed readjustment in this coun
try, all to the distinct Injury and dis
advantage of our people.
!1t was never the j intention of the
men who wrote our constitution that a
dominating group in the senate should
obstruct the treaty making, agencies of
government on conscientious nretext
when moved by the hidden purpose of
promoting party advantage. kIt was
never inunaea mai jne senate snouia
have any control, overt the president, ex
cept to share with him by its power of
confirmation, responsibility for efficient
public service. This,1 of course, is in
addition to its authority In the ratifica
tion or treaties." j . .
SBKATE I3r BAD" j
: The governor, declared that the feel
ing against the United States senate at
a ibody has. grown -specifically out of
abuses by the oligarchy which, he as
serted, has been prompted by Its suc
cess in obstructive tactics to seek to
annex the presidency.!
"The three branches 'Of -government
were intended to be separate and dis
tinctcertainly nothing could be more
clearly subversive of that arrangement
than the carefully thought-out plan of
hairing leaders of the senate dominate
a 'political convention and make the
choice of the party for the presidency.
said Governor Cox.
"The very argu-
merit, which Senator
Hardlng presents
in support of senatorial individuality
certainly holds with -equal logic to the
preservation of executive ' individuality.
VNot only will the people at all times
regard any departure from this prin
ciple as dangerous, but -they resent, the
attempt now- being made to turn the
senate and the presidency into a single
unit of government." j
SLOGAN REACTIONARY V .
The term "plural j government," the
governor declared, has become a reac
tionary slogan, and. - applied to present
conditions; carries into the public mind
thei very clear inference that "if presi
dential responsibility is to be shared it
will be with the counselors of the presi
dent, who in the case of the . Republi
can! nominee are the jBenatorial leaders.

scend to within SO feet of the water's
surface before he could ascertain ob
jects upon which to guide his flight. .
He started up attain,; rapidly gaining
altitude In an effort to escape the smoke,
and i headed In what he thought to be
the ; direction of the river's course to
ward Portland.
. At an altitude of 2000 feet as regis
tered by his altameter he was sailing
along splendidly when he suddenly dis
covered he was lost and thRt the hills
