THE WOMEN'S VOTE IN AMERICA
PRESIDENT WILSON'S ADVICE TO THE SENATE Washington, September 30. Addressing the Senate, where a difference of opinion on the question of women's suffrage prevails, President Wilson advocated tho early passage of the measure, on the ground of rational efficiency in war-time. ' The President said that this was a people's war; and therefore they must unite tho people in the prosecution of tho war. The United States would be unable to profess democracy abroad unless she practised it at home. Through many chancels intimations had reached the AVhito House of the people's real views. They paid no heed "to the voices of agitators, but realised that the time had come when, if democracy was to continuo beneficently, women must bo placed on the r.ame footing as men. The women were partners in the war, and therei'prc they must bo made partners in peace. Without the counsellings of women, a nation was only half wise.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assu.
