Colorado has published an open let

a committee of antl-BurfriiKlsts, in
"nhlch he stilled that he had always
been opposed to woman snf frage, but
that he nilBht be forced to advocate
It.
Senator Thomas' letter is as fol
lows: Will Hughes Answer?
"Political discussion, having" at
times during the campaign assumed
an interrogative form, I am moved to
propound the following inquiry to the
republican candltlater
'-'Did he not say to a committee of
nnti-suffraglsts, comprising Mrs. A.
fl. Dodge, Mrs. Brock, Mrs. llreese,
Mrs. Ford and Miss Chittenden, short
ly before his formal acceptance of
the nomination that
' 'I have always been opposed to
woman suffrage, probably because
Mrs. Hughes has always been strongly
opposed and my daughters, so far1 ns
they have thought at all, think with
their mother. My mother, all the
women of my family, have found
their needs and duties In their homes.
I am talking to you, not for publica
tion. If 1 fcnrc any announcement to
make publicly I prefer to make It
when the time comes, through the
usual chnnnels as a presidential
candidate. I shall not add to nor tnko
away from the party platform.

"As a private citizen I reserve the
right of giving my personal views if
It seems desirable Ihat I shall do so,
and I reserve the right, a lady's right,
of changing my mind. I do not say
that I will make any announcement
or that I will not I should prefer not
to do so but it may not be possible
for me to go through the strife of a
political campaign and keep silent.
" 'I shall not go into the argu
ments usually advanced by one side
or the other, because my own convic
tions arise from an entirely different
point of view. There. may be many
y,ho dlsagreQwllh mc, but J. cannot
see how any candid mind can study
conditions and believe that votes will
permanently be denied to women.
The increasingly active" feminist
movement, to my mind, makes the
ultimate granting of votes to women
lamentable, lint inevitable. ''

" 'The feminists are not going to
drop this fight. We shall have a
constantly intensified effort among
the feminists perfecting their organi
zation and a constantly increasig
struggle and bitterness between sexes
unless we give in to them.
" 'Sex antagonisms and the suver
sion of national Issues Is to me more
lamentable still, more ruinous to our
womanhood anil our country than the
doubling of the electorate of votes for
women, calamitous as that might be.
