SUFFRAGISTS HAVE THREE-SIDED DEBATE Mrs. Harper, Mrs. Brown and Kin Clay Discnsi State and Federal Flans of Attack. - BIO CONVENTION OPENS ' Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 6. A de bate on the question of whether the ' National American Woman Suffrage association should drop Its work for state amendments and concentrate its efforts on a federal amendment was a feature of the opening session of the association's annual convention here today. ' ' "", "" Mrs. Ida, Husted Harper of New York, as leader of the "federal amend ment" forces, argued in the affirma tive, while Miss Laura Clay of Lex ington, Ky., argued in favor of con fining the fight to individual states; a third debater, Mrs. Raymond Brown i.f New York, took a middle grour.d.in uv.ir of both federal.and stale vork Mrs. Harper declared that the as sociation should concentrate on the usan B. Anthony federal amendment sunt the work' in the individual states I discontinued. v ' ':, : ''( have now ftbtaiiie-t1 enough' ei.oal suffrage states 10 make our iriasure a national ooli'icnl issue,1' Mrs. Harper . said, "to force it en cWwrnent by the platform of all five of thi parties; to persuade a presiden tial candidate to declare for the fed eral amendment which his party was too boss-ridden to favor; to compel the president of the United States to rivet se his own attitude completely and defy the platform on which he was elected, and to wrest from a re luctant congress a vote in both houses and to scare it so badly that it has resorted to every subterfuge known in order not to put itself on record gain before election, i "Have, we not now reached a point 1 where we can stop these minor at- . tacks on our opponents right and left wings and march our forces straight up to the congressional trenches, where the main body of the enemy lies concealed?" Mrs. Harper named as opponents "The corporations, the liquor and other vice interests." Mrs. Brown for Joint Action. If the suffragists are to win their fight for. votes for women in this country both the federal and state campaigns must continue unabated, in accordance with the present policy of the National Woman Suffrage as- . sociation, Mrs. Raymond Brown of New York declared. Only by united action directed toward both federal and state legislation may the ultimate object be attained, she said. Describing equal suffrage as "the liveliest political issue before the pub lic," Mrs. Brown alluded to the state campaigns which have been fought and won, resulting in a growing num ber of men being elected to congress py the votes of women., , ..... , "When the last group of states was , won In 1913 : nf 1914 the federal amendment came into the immediate foreground of national polities," Mrs. Brown continued, . 'nd there if no doubt It is going to be passed before many years. When it has been passed by both houses of congress, however, the fight has only Just begun. Not a woman will be enfranchised until it is ratified by three-fourths of all the states. This means that it is of the utmost importance to i strengthen our state organisations. Of course we must go on working as hard as ever before we can expect to secure .the passage of the federal amendment, but at the same time we must try to win new states and to prepare the states for ratification. We must go on working inside the separate states, building up state or- N sanitations, and we must win more uffrage states." v Mist Clay lor States' Rights. The constitutional ' amendment which Susan B. Anthony proposed, which would enfranchise all the wom en in the country, is "by no means! necessary to the success" of the cause of equal suffrage, but the campaign ought ratherto be conducted in the individual states, said ' Miss Laura Clay of Lexington. Ky. Miss Clay ; spoke' as the leader . ot the "state rights" forces. In arguing that the association should, confine its activi ties to state legislation, she declared that the federal amendment was "usu ally advocated chiefly as a means of saving time and labor; In a word, a short cut' to woman suffrage." "The Anthony amendment is a repetition of the Fifteenth, with the substitution of the word 'sex' for race, color or previous condition of servi tude.',' Before it can become law it ' must be ratified by the legislatures of thirty-six states. It is hardly to K annnosed that the coerced states now will subscribe voluntarily to a rinciple whicft they rejectee, lormer- i, . . . noiD mi Dili cocrtiun made the Fifteenth amendment possi ble, and what reason nave we to sup pose that anything less than coercion .will pass the Anthony amendment?

Corn Crop Nearly Safe From Frost Wsahington, Sept. 6. Corn had favorable weather for maturing in the central and upper Mississippi valley during the week just ended and the crop is fast nearing the point of safety from frost damage, according to the national weather and crop bul letin issued today. The bulk of the corn 'crop in the northern part of the country will need ten to fifteen daya to be safe from frost damage, which will carry the time to about the aver age first killing frost date. Harvesting had so far met with favorable weather and threshing is going on in practically all districts. Haying is making rapid progress in all sections.

Congress of British Labor Declares' for Protection Principle Birmingham, England, Sept. 6. The Trades Union congress, repre senting nearly 2,500,000 organized workers of Great Britain, took an im portant and unexpected step today by adopting, with a majority of more than 1,000,000 votes, a resolution vir tually endorsing the principle of pro tection. .. The resolution asks for "the adop tion of methods for restricting, or oreventing the importation of cheap manufactured goods produced at low er rates of wages and under worse labor conditions than prevailing in this country." . Although these words themselves accept the principle of a protective tariff wall, the protectionists among the labor delegates and in other cir cles are not inclined to regard the workmen as having been won over to a complete change from free trade. One of the tabor members of the House of Commons said the meaning of . the resolution, was merely that measures should be taken to investi gate the origin of goods and condi tions under which they are produced with a view of preventing the unload ing of cheap goods in this country af ter the war, which is much feared.

This is due to the settling of the strike situation, which has result ed in the arrival of heavy runa of live stock the latter part of the week in stead of in the fore part. Ordinarily the heavy runs come on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. By Thursday the cattlemen in the yards expect the run to begin to slacken.
