WASHINGTON. July 31. — Wom
an's part In the forthcoming presiden
tial campaign In the movement for
equal suffrage, promising the most ac
Itlve participation of women In national
poll tics In American history, will be
planned when woman suffrage leaders,
militants and pacifists, meet at Colo
rado Springs for a three day confer
ence of the National Woman's Party,
August 10-12. The conference will
consider what policy the new suf
frage party organized last June at
Chicago, shall adopt In the coming
campaign lo secure submission to the
states by congress a national suffrage
constitutional amendment
Whether support, to the Democratic,
Republican or Progressive parties will
be given by women favoring a nation
al suffrage amendment, leaders here
declare, will be definitely decided at
the Colorado Springs conference.
While the conference called Is primar
ily for officers and leaders In the suf
frage campaign, It Is expected that
hundreds of women of the rank and
file of suffrage workers will attend.
Miss Anne Martin, of Nevada, chair
man of the Woman's Party, will pre
side, and addresses will be made by
many women prominent In the suf
frage propaganda.
Plans have already been completed
iui me i aiui'ai^u ui me ttuiunu n
Party In the twelve suffrage states.
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
Illinois, Kansas, Montana, Nevada.
Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyom
ing. Headquarters will be at Chicago,
in charge of Miss Martin.
A campaign fund, which is expected
to reach the $500,000 mark, is also
being collected by Mrs. O. H. P. Bel
mont, of New York. 8tate campaign
managers have been selected, and a
large array of stump speakers chosen.
Each will tour all of the suffrage
states. Mrs. Charlotte Perkins, Mrs.
itheta Childe Dorr, Mrs. Harriet Stan
ton Blatch, Miss Rose Winslow and
Miss Crystal Kastman, of New York,
and Mrs. J. A. H. Hopkins, of MorriB
town, N. J., are among the speakers.
The speakers will be carefully
routed and a publicity campaign, with
much literature appealing to voting
women of the western suffrage states
will be circulated. Political cartoons
by Mrs. Nina E. Allender, said to be
the only woman political cartoonist In
the country, will be a feature.
Whether these campaign forces will
be thrown for or against the nominees
of existing political parties or whether
an independent ticket will be formed
is the decision to be made at the Colo
rado Springs conference. The status
of the national suffrage amendment
in congress also will be considered at
the opening session August 10. It is
expected that by that time congress
will be on the point of adjourning, and
the fate of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment probably known. Should
the Democrats in control of congress
fail to act upon it, leaders here de
clared that will be an Important factor
in the probable decision regarding
support of or opposition to the Demo
cratic party by the Woman's Party.
“Suffragists will judge the Demo
cratic party by its deeds and not by
its promises, since being the party in
power it has had and still has the
power to pass the federal amendment,"
was the statement of Miss Alice Paul,
chairman of the Congressional Union.
During the first day's session at
Colorado Springs, Miss Maud Younger,
of California, secretary of the Con
gressional Union's advisory commit
tee; Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles, of
Delaware; Mrs. William Kent, wife of
Representative Kent, of California,
and Mrs. Sara Bard Field, of Oregon,
who brought the monster suffrage pe
tition to the White House last Decem
ber, upon the opening of congress.
| will recite the efforts made during
i the present congressional season for
! passage of the resolution submitting
the suffrage amendment
The election policy of the Woman's
party will be the sole business of
the second session, August 11. Among
the speakers on the progiom are MIsb
Paul, Miss Martin, Miss Mabel Ver
non, secretary of the Woman’s Patty;
Mrs. Dora Phelps Buell, of Colorado,
a member of the Congressional Un
ion’s advisory council, and Miss Gail
Uuughlin, of California. At this ses
sion formal resolutions outlining the
party's policy will be adopted.
The final session on August 12 will
be devoted to campaign conference* of
state chairmen, organisers, stump
speakers and others. In the call tor
the conference the Woman’s Party
executive committee declares tnat
"woman’s political power has more
than doubled since the last presiden
tial election.”
“In 1912 there were only six suf
frage Btates, with about 2,000,000 wo
men qualified to vote," it is stated.
"These six suffrage states elected
only 37 members of the electoral col
lege. Today there are 12 suffrage
states, controlling 91 electoral votes,
with over 100.000 women qualified to
vote for president. The fact that
these states control one-fifth of the
electoral college and cast one third of
the votes necessary to elect a presi
dent. gives woman voters the power
to determine the election of the next
president."
* That one-fourth of the senate's
membership and one-sixth of that of
the house comes from suffrage states
Is also pointed out by leaders as in
dicating the potentlonal power of wo
men in the forthcoming elections.
In additions to deciding whether any
of the presidential candidates shall
be supported by the Woman’s Party,
the conference will also consider par
ticipation In the congressional cam
paigns In supporting or opposing can
didates for the senate and house in
the suffrage states.
Two campaign managers have
charge of the suffrage battle in the
twelve "free" states. One will be sta
tioned at Miss Martin's general head
quarters at Chicago, and one In each
state. Those appointed so far fol:

HUMBLE OF BATTLE HEAHD
MILES AWAY !
—
BERLIN, July 29, — Herr Wilhelm
Krebs, director of the Holstein ‘‘wea
ther and sun observatory,” at Schnel
jen, writes to the Lokal Anzeiger that
the roar of the guns In the battle of
Jutland was plainly heard by his two
adult daughters at Schnelsen, which
is 340 miles from the scene of the
fight. The young women claim to
have heard plainly ten individual sal
vos about 6 p. m., on May 31, at inter
vals of five to ten seconds.
Herr Krebs reports that the rumble
of artillery fire at Verdun has been
beard at Ziegenhain (in Hesse Nas
sau). which Is 211 miles from the bat
tiefield. In both cases, he explains,
favoring winds facilitated the extra
ordinary long transmission of the
sound.
HEARD IN LONDON.
LONDON, July 29. — The sound of
the big guns at Ypres has been heard
on rare occasions in various parts of
London, occasionally at a point in
Essex county, 150 miles away, and
repeatedly at points in this country,
125 miles from the scene of firing, ac
cording to Miller Christy, a widely
known member of the Royal Meteoro
logical Society. The speaker said
that windows in The Temple, a huge
building of law offices almost in the
heart of the city, were rattled vio
lently many times by the Ypres guns.
Lloyd George, minister of munitions,
and Sir A Conan Doyle, the speaker
added, were among those who had
heard the sounds.
