THURSDAY, SEPT. 2, 1920. ; """ THE PARTIES UPSET? Mr. George B. Craven, the able editor of the Lancaster News, takes issue with David Lawrence on the ratification of the nineteenth amendment and makes some timely comments on the new adjuncts to the political parties of ?e country: "David Lawrence, Washington cor respondent, sees in the ratification of the nineteenth amendment to the federal constitution a proverbial monkeywrench thrown into the machinery of party politics. He thinks it may mean an entire change of tactics by the managers of both the Republican and Democratic presidential campaign. 'Certainly it has already brought worries that didn't exist last week,' says Mr. Lawrence, and, 'one of these is the certain punishment of ' Republican and Democratic members of congress who showed themselves unfavorable to suffrage.' j "We hope Mr. Lawrence's fears are unfounded, and we believe they are unfounded. There is no spirit of relentment among the women toward Ihose who opposed them, though they were made to fight long and hard f) what they thought was their right and which, the final conclusion has proven, was their right Furthermore, we cannot bring ourselves to believe that the women will resort to political tricks and combinations to carry their point that has been the custom among the male suffragists. There are some members of congress who ought to be defeated, if that is what Mr. Lawrence would call 'certain punishment', but the women, with the ballot, are going to work .more for principles than for men, if we may be considered a judge of human nature. Ana .1 the women can succeed in elevating the principles of politics, the parties will work theii way up to it. "Ore surmise by Mr. Lawrence is significant; 'Nothing worries a political leader so much as inability to vote his constituents in groups or at least to assess definitely the trend of one district so he can counterbalance losses in another,' he says, and, 'but the women have always proved them selves inaccessible. They are hard to organize in the political sense and insist upon a certain independence which defies party tradition and partisanship. While many a man has been a lifelong Republican or Democrat and hesitates to change his allegiance, there has been built up no such fealty on the part of the women. They are inclined, therefore, to judge the candidates and the pjirties on their * merits.' "This, we believe, can be accepted as a true statement, but just how far the women will carry this independence in political matters, remains to be seen. The women may prove to be sticklers for party fealty or they may exert that 'certain independence' 1 A1 X. -i 2 WHICH Will onng uiem io,si<uiu iui principles regardless of the effect upon the parties. We surmise that the vast majority of women voters will start out as Democrats, and, if so, it is up to the Democratic party Mfa.. to become and remain so attractive ' that they will have no desire to desert it Everything that happens in the next hundred years, we suppose, will be blamed on the women voters, but they will not be to blame. "Effect of the enfranchisement of women upon other vital issues is discussed by Mr. Lawrence as follows: " It is too early to determine just how much effect on the league of na tioins controversy the enfranchise ment of women will have. The league is popular In the west where women apon other vital iecaes is ifcs cussed by Mr. Lawrence as follows: 1 women have had the right to vote for years while in large sections of t the east its purposes have been rep-i resented as more likely to entangle, 1 the nation in war than to preserve; 1 peace'. Prohibition is a much more s vital issue with the women in east- i < em states than most people believe, j nn/1 Demo- : 1 rmnci iu, uuiii ...... , . crats in populous sections have leane<: t toward the wet side of the argument but the entrance of the women vote ; i w'il! tend to neutralize the stand of j r candidates and to range them more j and more on the side of law enforce- t ment without committing themselves to definite proposals for modification \ of the Volstead act.'
