Cottolene VOTE 10 HUGHES MED FORD MATL TJUTUTNH, MKDFORD, ORKflON. TUESDAY, To the Editor: Id rciulin the article, "IVill Women . Vote Tojietlitrf" by Folu l.u r'ollette, in the July issue of Ln F'ollette's, note (hat the writer of the article seems (o regard the success of (be efforts of the Congressional union to mobilize women's votes ns 11 subject of interest unci conjecture, rulher than to iiies(ion the ailvisabilily of the ef fort itself, and the worthiness of the use. to which it would be put. To the question of its success, I would say that as the opinions "of all men voters have never been uniform, that it is exceedingly doubtful if the opinions of even four million women voters can be successfully berdod. I think it will he found Unit individ ualism is quite as firmly entrenched in the feminine character as in the masculine. The advisability of the effort itself and the worthiness of the purpose to whicb it would he put, is the subject that most interests me, and that mov ed me to write my viewpoint as a sam ple of at least one western woman voter. ItffortM of Union. ! -I quote from the article: ''It (the Congressional union) holds the party in power responsible for (ho activity or lethality of its congress. . '. . tin tins basis (he Congressional union endeavors to align (he women voters against the candidates of any party in power which has failed to pass the Susan R Anthony amend ment, regardless of the individual conviction or vole of those candidates on suffrage legislation. At present (be Congressional union is making ev ery effort to mobilize (lie women's vote in the equal, suffrage states, to secure the passage of the federal amendment during Hie present con gress. If the present congress. fails to pass the amendment, then this mob ilized force wilt he directed against the democratic parly in the presiden tial election in H)l(i." I believe that (he duty of every American voter (man or woman) is to vote according to the dictates of his individual conscience and intelligence. I believe that the greatest cause, to consider is the cause of democracy, the sacred principle toy which this government was founded. This great principle is now struggling for its life againsl the organized forces of plu tocracy. 1 believe Unit if any oilier cause, however laudable, conflicts, (broiigh the processes of politics, w ith that of democracy itself, (bat the lesser cause should be sacrificed. CouifiarLsoii of -OintlitlaU's. ln the coming elf Winn the presiden tial caiididalcs do not offer an em barrassment of riches to (be lovei of democracy. If Senator Jm Folletd ami suffrage were offered in lieu of Mr. Hughes and suffrage, (be choice would indeed give one pause. How ever, even then I would deplore the methods employed by the Congres sional union. As i( is, my choice would he unequivocally for l'resident Wilson, notwithstanding any failure of (he present congress to pass the Susan H. Autbonv amendment. Uv so doing 1 would feel that 1 hail sup ported the greater cause, and inci dentally rctlcWcd credit upon the suffrage of women. Were 1 to sacri fice what 1 believe to be (be greater cause to the lesser, 1 would in n moral sense betray both. There will doubtless be many men and women who will support Tresi dent Wilson, irrespective ot the fate of the Susan It. Anthony amendment, in the present congress, and among these I believe there will he many ar dent sympathizers and workers in the cause ot' women's sui t rage. It seems to me ill-advised and uii-Aiuerican in spirit to try to band the women voi d's together. There should be no solid vole of women, nor a solid vote, of men. The most' admirable type of American citizen does not vote a cer tain way because of sex or locality, or for monetary reasons. Neither nre racial or religious prejudices )ermil t.cd to influence (he decision, lie votes as an American, according (o bis cort science and best intelligence for wjial lie considers wiH contribute to the greatest good of the greatest number over the entire country. Ihiso rrosKX'tivo. Ardent workers in any cause are apt to lose perspective and conic to think that their particular cause is of paramount importance, when perhaps it may not lie. The Knglish women suffragisls laid their cause aside for a tune when (heir national entity became endan gered by the European war. 1 believe (hat the American suff ragists should contribute their great est efforts during these critical days toward the control of organized plu (ocracy. We are informed by high authority that American plutocracy fathered the recent raid on Columbus.

A week later bids for four scout cruisers and twenty submarines will be opened. The seven days' delay having been grunted bidders who said it was im possible to fill out necessary pa peYs for all of the slims at one time. Kepresentatives of several ship building companies have informally asked the department to put off op ening of all bids until December, urg ing that the difficult v in obluinimr es timates of cost for material required additional time. If formal request for postponement is made tomorrow, when the bids are oncned, it is pos sible u new dale will he M't. The de partment has followed the custom of nearly thirty vears, however, in al lowing sixtv days for advertisement, and is anxious to have building begin in the shortest possible time. There will be no difficulty fretting steel for the new ships, it is said, al though an increase in nriee has been noted bv prospective bidders. GERMAN U-BOAT 53 BOSTON, Oct. 4. Captain W. G. Tudor, of the British steamship llochclaga, which arrived today from Loutsburg. said that before he left Nova Scotia persistent rumors were current that tho German U-boat 53 had been sunk off Sydney, N. S. by the Canadian, patrol boat Stanley. He said he heard tho rumor several times, but was unable to verify it. IN NEW YORK CITY MONTCI.AIli, X. J., Oct. 21. Charles E. Hughes, who has been resting here for u few days from campaign activities, leaves laic today for New York City, when? he will make three .speeches tonight and one speech in I'rooklyn tomorrow ni'lit. facts are no less painful because they carry little of the element of surprise ill them. However, such facts force new possibilities upon the horizon of conjecture. Can it be the wives of plutocracy, many of whom arc in the suffrage ranks, who are mothering this threat against the present admin istration f If so, suffragisls all over the country should -ask themselves if victory at any price is worth while. We hear very scathing remarks now adays about "peace at any price." We know that neither sex has u laon oM"ly of the virtues or vices of hu manity. We can only hoio that the women's suffrage movement will not ally it -.elf to ruiotionable forcers, for bv so doing it will lefoul the clear stream of its endeavor. AKIKL lU'KTOX POMKHOY.

TliG editorial, a lengthy article, charges Hughes has shoivu by his fight on the Adumson law and other hills "tending to carry out the social and industrial program of the pro gressive platform of 11112," that he should be defeated, and urges the re election of Wilson because of his rec ord, which it terms "progressive." "On tlie Fence" Vntil Yesterday. The announcement, printed undi the caution "Wilson and Caliper," also urges the re-election of the republican governor of Kansas. I'ntil yesterday Murdork's paper had been "on the fence." The editorial in part follows: "There arc hut two weeks left un til election. Although even now an exploit of the or sonic other un toward development might upset pres. cut conditions, the issues of the cam paigu mav be considered as joined. It is time, therefore, for the iudepeii dent voter to get off the fence; he must be making his choice. Wilson Stands Progressive Test. "The logie of events, the issues ns they nre now joined, the fuels as they exist, lead to the selection of Wood row Wilson as the presidential choice by those citizens who would more ecr tainly further the progressive prinei pies so vital in a republic and to eiv. ilization itself.
