the auspices of the Congressional
Union for Woman Si Am go. Tlie
night mooting followed ono held during

in an effort to promote their cause '
and to induce the Progressives ami 1
Republicans to put an equal s tlTrag
plank in their party platform and t*
indorse the Susan It. Anthotn amend
inent to the constitution.
Miss Maude Younger of Californi;
the temporary ehalrman. made th
keynote spoeeh. Slie said that th
Woman's party would consoler n
otlier issue than equal suffrage a
present and that it would throw it
influence to that party which sup ^
ported th,, Anthony amendment.
Miss Ijuey Hums of Washing!o
laid blame for the defeat of the n >

"If as great a percentage of Democrats
as of Republicans had voted fo'
suffrage, a two-third-- majority for it
in the house would have been scout

"it was during the Reconstruction

Chicago, Juii" Representatives
of the several candidates for the Republican

in a perplexing predicament tonight.
Having fostered sentiment in f.ivor
of Justice Hugh s until they felt sure
Colonel Roosevelt was definitely olim
inated, they now fear they cannot
control the Hughe- niovt inent.
During the day it grew to the proportions
of a boom. KfTort Is being ,
made to concentrate all elements
against it, and the indications arc
that the veto of the Progressive!
party, which, of course, m< ins Cnl-j
onol Roosevelt's disapproval of
Hughes, may be sought as a check. (
Harmony Above Kv? rylhing.
Harmony above everything else is'
the desire of the leaders. Without
