PRESIDENT ADDRESSES

Believes That Equal Suffrage Will Prevail—Leaves for Summer White House.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Sept. 9.— Delegates to the woman suffrage convention, apparently highly pleased with the address of President Wilson last night, today began their final session of the convention with the expectation of completing their work tonight.

One of the important matters to come before the convention today, is the report of the committee on resolutions which is expected to report a declaration of principles.

The president told the four thousand women present that he believed suffrage would be extended to women and was roundly cheered when he told them that he had come to Atlantic City to fight with them. *'I get a little impatient sometimes about the discussion of the channels and methods by which it is to prevail," he said. "It is going to prevail, anc1. that is a very superficial and ignorant view of it which attributes it to mere social unrest. It is not merely because the women are discontented, it is because the women have seen visions of duty, and that is something which we not only can not resist, but if we be true Americans we do not wish to resist."

President WilsOn left here at 9 o'clock this morning by motor for Long Branch,, N. J., to make an extended stay at Shadow Lawn, his summer home.

A large crowd on the board walk and nearby streets cheered the president as he entered his automobile and durring his progress through Atlantic City. ,.In the crowd were many of the delegates to the suffrage convention.

work in

the schools under the supervision of the teachers, particularly in the schools having an agricultural course.

There are a number of other projects to be taken up this fall which have not yet been definitely worked out.

Mr. Clinebell will be at the service of the farmers at all times and he will be glad to have them call at his office in the court house any tim* they are in town for he wishes to get acquainted. He has set Saturday as his regular office day but he will be in the office at sometime every day.

AMERICAN

the record of achievements, which include more remedial legislation than ever was written by any two administrations our opponents fail in their speeches and in their platform to promise anything in the way of repeal or substitute. "For purely partisan purposes the republican orators are proclaiming that the president is an infirm American and that Americanism and republicanism, are synonymous, thereby containing the practice abandoned by most men, of setting up artificial standards and criticising everyone who does not accept them. But the people at large realize now, more than ever before, that American citizenship is made up of only two grades of citizens, citizens of the first grade who ask, 'What can I do for my country?' while citizens of the second grade ask, 'What can I get my country to do for me?' "Day by day our people are becoming more and more convinced of the genuine purpose of our president to maintain a strict neutrality and more and more confident are they becoming of his ability to preserve an honorable peace. The hyphenated citizens, who thought they could: gather into one force those of every race and every creed tfor a combined assault against the president of the Uiiited States for keeping America at peace, have been disillusioned."
