It is true that this amendment would have -to come from congress, but the present congress shows no earnest desire to enact this legislation for the simple reason that you, as the leader of the party in power, have not yet suggested it. For the wholé country gladly ack- nowledges, Mr. President, that no vi- tal piece of legislation ' has come through congress these flve years ex- cept by vour extraordinary and bl- liant Jeadership. And, millions of men and women today hope vou will give the federal suffrage amendment to the women of the country by the valor of your leadership now. It will hearten the mothers of the nation, eliminate a just grievance and turn the deyoted energies of brilliant women to a more hearty support of the government in this crisis. “As you well know, In dozens of speeches in many states, I have advo- cated your policies and the war. I was the first man of your administra- tion, nearly five years ago, publicly to advocate preparedness, and helped to found the first: Plaitsburg training camp. And_if, with our troops mo- bilizing in France, you will give the American women this measure for their political freedom, they will sup- port with greater enthusiasm your hope and the hope of America ~ for world freedom. ; “I Have not approved all the meth- ods recently adopted by women in the pursuit of their political liberty; vet, Mr. President, the committee on suf- frage of the United States senate was formed in 1883 when I was one year ald: this same federal suffrage amend- ment was first introduced in congress in 1878; brave women like Susan B. Anthony were petitioning congress for the suffrage before the Civil war, and at the time of the Civil war, men like William Lloyd: Garrisor, Horace Gree- lev: and Wendell Phillips assured the suffrage leaders that if they aban- doned thelr fight for suffrage, when the war was ended the men of the nation ‘out ‘of gratitude’ would en- franchise the women of the countrv. And if the men of this ecountry had been peacefully demanding for over .half a century the political rizht or privilege to vote. and. had been con- tnuously- ignored or:met with eva- sion” by successive congresses as have women, you, Mr. President, as a lover of liberty, would be the first ‘to com- prehend and forgive their inevitable impatience and righteous indienation. Will not this administration. re-efact- ed. to power by the hope and faith of the women of the west, handsomaly reward that ‘faith by taking action .. NOwW for the passage of the federal ’, suffrage amendment? “In_the port. of New the past four vears, lars in the export and the country, have men of the cu. treatment of the traveling pu radically changed, their vigilah plied the evidence for t note, the neutrality tained and the Ger: captured and ecor cluded, and many x have been given to this great of your appointment. But now I wis leave these finished tasks, t6 ret to my profession of, the law give all my lelsure ‘time to fig hara for the political fresdom of w men as. have always fought for ye liberal leadership. “It seems a long seven years President, since I first campaig with you when you were running f governor of New Jersey. In ev circumstance throughout those I have served you with the m spectful affection and unshadow votion. It is no small sacrifice for me, as a member of your istration, to sever our politica tionship. But I think It is h that men in this generation, cost_to themselves, stood up to E tle for the national en: hizeme of women. So in order effectively the wel keep my promises made in and more freely to go Into this lar fleld of democratic effort, I hereby eign my office as collector of the por of New York, to take effect at once or_at vour earliest convenience. “Yours respectfully, “DUDLEY FTELD MALONE."
