PRESIDENT URGES | STATES TO START ey | | Tells Woman Suifragists That Sul- frage Is Fundamental Question Washington, Oct. 26.—President Wilson yesterday made a notable speech in favor of woman suffrage, giving it full indorsement as an issue in every state. He redefined his po- sition on this subject in a stronger ner than on other occasions, re- piying to the request of representa- tivy of the New York state woman suffrage party for support in the cam- paign there for an amendment of the ronstitution to give the ballot to wom- en. He asserted this war was forcing fundamental questions to the front for ma BO\’SCOUT NEWS Troop 3 has begun a reorganization plan which is to be presented to the \roop this I'riday. From the reports, our boys are doing fairly good work 'nnd many expect to receive war ser- vice medals. The football team is ready to clash with Troop 4. Satur- day we are promised a very exciting game. There will be a patrol leaders’ meeting at, the church Thursday at 7:15 p. m. All patrol leaders are re- quested to attend. On account of the Liberty Loan campaign there will not be any foot- ball games played tdmorrow after- noon. But the boys will resume their activities on the field next Saturday, Nov. 3, when Troop 4 Will play Troop 3, Troop 3 will play Troop 12. The total amount of money subscribed for by the Boy Scouts of the New Britain council is $35,000 to. date, and the campaign will be extended to Satur- day noon. To date Troop 1 of Berlin . solution and classed woman suffrage 2s one of the fundamentals. ~ “More than fifty officers and work- ers for suffrage in New York state journeyed to Washington in special cars and were recelved by the presi- !dent in the White House at 2 o’clock. Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse, jchairman of the New York state /woman suffrage party, brieflly pre- ;ented the purpose of their visit. In eply, the president sald, speaking ith great solemnity, which deeply dmpressed those who heard him: “Mrs. Whitehouse and ladies: “It is with great pleasure that I re- ive you. I esteem it a privilege to o s0. I know the difficulties which ou have been laboring under in New 'York state, so clearly set forth by Mrs. 'Whitehouse, but in my judgment those difficulties cannot be used as an lexcuse by the leaders of any party lor by the voters of any party for neg- ' Jlecting the question which you are ipressing upon them. Because, after 11, the whole world it witnessing a struggle bettween two ideals of gov- jernment. It is a struggle which goes /deeper and touches more of the foun- 'dations of the organized life of men /than any struggle that has ever taken iplace before, and no settlement of the questions that lie on the surface can satisfy a situation which requires that the questions which lle underneath and at the foundation should also be settled and settled right. I am free to say that I think the question of ‘woman suffrage i{s one of those ques- tions 'which lie at the foundation. “The world has witnessed a slow political reconstruction, and men have generally been obliged to be satisfled with the slowness of the process. In @ sense it is wholesome that it should be slow because then it is solid and sure. But I believe that this war is poing so to quicken the convictions and the consciousness of mankind with regard to political questions that the speed of reconstruction will be greatly increased. And I believe that just because we are quickened by the guestions of this war we ought to be | guickened to give this question of woman suffrage our immediate con- sideration. “As one of the spokesmen of a great party, I would be doing nothing less than obeying the mandates of that party if I gave my hearty sup- port to the question of woman suf- frage which you represent, but I do not want to speak merely as one of the spokesmen of a party. I want to epeak for myself, and say that it skeems to me that this is the time for the States of this Union to take this mction. I perhaps may be touched a little too much by the traditions of our politics, traditions which lay such questions almost entirely upon the States, but I want to see communi- ties declare themselves quickened at this time and show the consequence of the quickening. “I think the whole country has ap- preciated the way in which the women have risen to this great occasion. They not only have done what they have been asked to do, and done it with ardor and efficiency, but they have shown a power to organize for doing | things of their own initiative, which is quite a different thing, and a very much more difficult thing, and I think the whole country has admired the spirit and the capacity and the wis- dom of the women of the United States. “It is almost absurd to say that the country depends upon the women for a large part of the inspiration of its life. That is too obvious to say; but it is now depending upon the women | also for suggestions of service, which have been rendered in abundance and with the dstinction of originality. I | therefore, am glad to add my | voice to those which are urging the | people of the great state of New York | to set a great example by voting for | woman suffrage. Tt would be a pleas- | ure if I might utter that advice in | their presence. Inasmuch as I am | bound too close to my duties here to | make that possible, T am glad to have | the privilege to ask you to deliver that message to them. SINN FEIN MOVEMENT.
