MRS. CLARK SEES
NO MILLENNIUM
FROM SUFFRAGE
Wife of Champ Clark Experi
enced In Politics, Expects
Great Things of
Suffrage.
By ANNABELLE LEE.
. . Washington, June 26. Disap-
pointed, yet elated. This js the
V rather unusual state of mind of
" Mrs. Champ Clark with reference
to the woman suffrage situation.
The wife of the veteran demo
, cratic leader and former speaker
of the house, and herself a pioneer
suffragist, gave her views to an
interviewer on things in 'general
and suffrage in particular. She
admitted she was disappointed that
the amendment giving the vote to
her sex has failed as yet of rattfi
cation in the 36th state, and added
"But I feel immensely gratified
to think w came so near the
achievement of what I considered
at best a remote possibility. When
I think of the progress made 'by
the 'cause' since 1912, it seems
more wonderful than a tale out of
the Arabian Nights."
Experienced In Politics.
Mrs. Clark may be called the
dean of women in politics at the
national 'capital, for her experience
covers a period of 25 years or
more, and her remarkable sense ot
humor has equipped her foe keen
enjoyment of political life. For
instance, referring to the rapidity
with which the suffrage cause has
advanced in popularity, she said:
"It has been going by leaps and
bounds but e?ery time it leaps or
bounds it can look sideways and
see the two faithful old parties
leaping and bounding, too.
"'It was certainly a sight for the
gods to see not long ago in a Sun
day supplement a picture ot a dar
ing republican member of the
West Virginia legislature, who
posed for a photograph, flying to
vote for ratification of suffrage.
Expects Better Things.
"We need not expect the mil
lennium as the result of either the
Chicago or San Francisco conven
tions, so far as women s participation
in these conflicts is concerned. The
.world was not built in a day, and
women as well as men have their
limitations; but even a look-m by a
few women delegates, assisted on
the outside by the determined pick
et will have an influence in the right
direction.
"What I very much desie to see,"
Mrs. Clark continued, "is unity of
work between men and women, who
after all are human beings and must
. work together for the economic, civil
and religious welfare of the race.; I
want to see women in political lite.
I want to see' them actively engaged
in perfecting legislation which will
provide better municipal housekeep
ing. An organized and formal effort
on the part of women would add but
one more witness to those who have
urged more vital international rela
tions between Kovernments.
"No, I am not expecting the mil
lennium to be ushered in, no matter
which party is victorious in Novem
ber. But I do believe in the ultimate
decency of things, and have faith
that the women and men working to
gether will evolve a better way. of
settling disputes than the extermina
tion of each other."

Berkley, Cal., June 26. "If it had
not been for the pressure of my
father's opinion and my family's un
bearable interference in my life, Mr.
Roth and I would never had the
marriage ceremony performed," de
clared Lillian Stowell McCarthy, J
aaugnier or r.. Avery wcuartny,
wealthy resident of Los Angeles.
Miss McCarthy and Arnold Ed
ward Roth were both firm believers
in "free love." They had been liv
ing together for several months as
man and wife.
The couple were students at the
University of California. Their mu
tual talent for music brought them
together, and tey fell in love, and,
without a marriage' ceremony went
to live in a bungalow in the college
city.
Only the pressure of her father's
opposition to the extraordirMiy
freedom of their relationship
brought them into legal wedlock,
Mrs. Roth declared.
Lived Up to Convictions.
"I want you to understand that I
sincerely believed in the right to un-
wedde'd happiness," declared the lit
tle bride. We were both living up
to. our highest convictions in those
few months before our marriage.
"My husband is an eastern man
from New York but I know no
more about his family than you do.
Unless he wants to tell me himself,
it is really none of my business. In
the meantime we are really happy in
this little home, and if the time ever
comes when my husband finds an
other women for vhom he cares
more than he does for me, I shall
not make the slightest effort to de
tain him."
It was the yoking couple s love for
music that brougnt.them together
last fall, v
"It has always been mv desire to
be a violinist," said Mrs. Roth. "My
parents had no sympathy with my
aspirations and preferred that I be
a social butterfly.
Insincerity Bored Her. ,
"You can't imagine how it bored
me not the social life so much, but
the insincerity of it all. My parents
have not lived together for years
they are divorced. I have always
been a thorn in my father's side. He
could not understand a daughter
who preferred cateers'to dances.

To Surround Harding Home
Washington, June 26. The Na
tional Woman's party will picket

monies attending notification of his
nomination for president, Alice Paul
formally announced today.

several years and later I came to
Berkeley to take up special courses
at the university.
Mr. Roth and I wire firm friends
from the first, but we really did not
think anything more serious until
my family began to object to my
seeing him. He and I were of 'the
same opinion that our personal
lives made no difference to anyone
else and we were both firm advo
cates of what the world calls free
love.
"That is, the marriage bond
seemed to both of us unnecessary
and even humiliating. We decided
we needed no formal marriage to
prove our love for one another, and
it was only when well meaning
friends told my father that he began
to object, and every relative I had
did everything possible to make" it
uncomfortable for me. So we de
cided that simply to stop the family
criticizing we would have the cere
mony performed."
Doesn't Look Like Radical.
Mrs. Roth is far from being a
radical in appoarance. She is tall
and slim, with "Irish blue" eyes and
only recently has she bobbed her
hair.
Clad in a blue gingham apron and
mixing a cake in her own little
kitchen she went on to explain
while her husband 'and a boy friend
were playing a Beethoven Sonata in
the parlor, just what her ideas on
matrimony are.
"People tell me," she continued,
that free love is bad for the cbil
dren that are born to such couples.
But what is worse for children than
an uphappy marriage?"
"What is the object in holding on
to a man simply because he is the
father of your children when you
are both uphappy? If the world is
so keen for reform, why do they not
begin with the divorce laws? Cer
tainly there is nothing more scandal
lous than the easv divorces in this
state the way people undertake
what they call a sacred contract and
then break it as soon as some little
thing goes wrong!
"At least my husband and. I are
sincere about it. We admit tha
when we get tirea ot one anotner
we shall separate."

WOMAN ARRIVES
LATE WITH WINE
AND BEER PLANK
Miss "Marbury Finds Fair Sex
Have Already Decided to
Remain Silent on
Prohibition.
By LEOLA ALLARD. ;
.Chicago Tribune-Omaha Br Lrased Wire.
San Francisco, June 26. Eliza
beth Marbury, member of the na
tional democratic executive com
mittee, was late today with her light
wine and- beer plank and when she
appeared dragging it in behind her
she was told tnat the national deny
ocratic women in conference at the
Palace hotel under the gneralship
of Mrs. .George Bass, had voted
unanimously to say nothing about
the liquor question.
"But," protested Miss Marbury.
"I want 'to present this plank. 1-"
"But," said Mrs. Bass, "the wom
en have voted unanimously not to
talk about the subject. It has been
voted upon."
Miss Marbury says s she didn't
know the question was- xoming up
today or she would at least have
been there on time.
Miss Helen Grenfeld, delegate
from Colorado, caused a stir when
she announced that she would not
stand for anything that was a crti-
cism against the""administration. Con
sequently she would not stand for
the labor plank presented by Mrs.
Kellogg Fairbank of Chicago which
contained an anti-injunction clause.
She had with her women from In
diana and some loyal supporters of
Attorney General Palmer. The ar
gument was a warm one.
"The anti-injunction clause is a
direct criticism of the present ad
ministration," she said. "We shall
never stand for that."
Miss Grenfeld has been accused
of being with capital and there
were whispers to that effect, some
of them reaching her ears.
