PRAISES WILSON’S STAND IN BEHALF OF SUFFRAGE

The action of the National Suffrage Association at Atlantic City, N. J., In rejecting by an. overwhelming vote the proposal to make the suffrage movement a partisan annex of the Republican campaign, was further emphasized by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, “the sage of suffrage,” in an' interview published in the Philadelphia Press, a staunch Republican organ. “The President, in his speech to the convention, promised all he could carry out,” said Dr. Shaw. “If he had promised more we would have known that he could not carry it out. “Not the Republicans alone, nor the Democrats alone, can bring suffrage. If it could be done that way I would favor it. But It can’t. We must get enough Democrats and Republicans together to do it.”
