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. Such

picas of many prospective bidders for
a month's postponement, t lie navy de
partment tomorrow will open ImU for
four new battleships and twenty de-
t rovers authorized this year. 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.

ing that Mr. Hughes "has ilisaoint
ed progressive expeetutions," while
l'resident Wilson is "moving definite
ly and decidedly in the direction
pointed by the progressive platform
of the Wichita Kagle, edited by
Victor Mnrdock, and official organ in
Kansas of the Bull Moose parly, ad
vises all independent and progressive
citizens to vote for the re-eleelion of
Wilson.
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.
"The question is simply us to which
candidate stands out ns best fitted to
bring nearer u realization of those
pructicul measures of christian broth

this nation and between this nation
and the nations of the earth."
