Rep. Cantrill Says South
erners May Lose Posts
by Adverse Vote.
Southern Dem?crata stand to loa?
their control of coi?mitt?? chair
manships in Congress by any sus
tained opposition to th? Federal
woman suffrage amendment, ac
cording to James C. CantrlU, of
Kentucky.
Representative Cantrill. la a
statement given out yesterday,
points out that ten Southern States
are now In control of 81 of the 60
committee chairmanships In th?
House. Four of these ten State?
control 18 of th? 81 chairmanship?.
That th? South would like to keep
thi? control goes without saying-.
"But it won't be able to do so in
face of the opposition it will en
counter If the?? ten Southern etite?
?rot? almost solidly against th? Fed
eral suffrage amendment," aaya
Representative Cantrill. "The?? ten
Southern States have but 110 elec
toral votes, aa against 188 electoral
vote? possessed by th? 18 States
that have given women th? suffrage
for presidential electors.
Sonth Weald Lo.?.
"Now for the?? ten Southern States
to vote almost solidly against the auf
trage amendment, aa It la reported
that they Intend doing, would, in my
opinion, be a very grave political mla
take. The South ha? everything to
lose by such a short-sighted policy.
The eighteen suffrage States have
thirty-six Senators, while tha ten
Southern States, which are reported
aa being against tha auftrage amend
ment, have but twenty Senators. The
fact that the Congress 1? now almost
evenly divided between the Democra
tic and Republican parties it seems
to me should force Democratic mem
bers from the 'South to give heed to
the situation.
"This statement is based on th? sup
position that each Democrat In Con
gress is looking to the welfare of his
party in the nation, and that he will
not be governed by local conditions
In his own district Conditions often
arise where the member of Congress
must'look beyond the cornine? ot his
own district and t-cle a stand for
those things wMch are for th? good
of the Democratic p?rty In the na
tion, and for the good of the nation
itself.
'The public discussion recently of
the national woman suffrage amend
ment has brought to the surface the
fact that the Republican leader? tn
?Congress are doing e?-erythlng in their
power to line up the full Republican
vote In Congress for this amendment.
I sincerely hope that the Democrats
In Congress are alive to tbe situation
and that they will not permit the Re
publican party to get any political ad
vantage from the passage of this
amendment.
"I speak as a Southern Democrat,
who expects to vote for the suffrage
amendment. The Democratic party
ia now In control of all branches of
the Federal government. Almost
every committee assignment so far
as the chairmanships are concerned
Is held by Southern Democrats, who
thus practically dictate the legisla
tion of the nation. We have this
control, as everyone knows, because
the woman suffrage States In the ?at
Presidential election voted almost
solidly for Democratic electora and
candidates.
"For the Democratic party In Con
gress to vote against the States that
gave them this power would in my
humble opinion be political suelde.
For tbe Southern Dem?crata In Con
gress to say to the millions of pa
triotic women of the nation that suf
frage shall not be given them would
bring ?lown upon our heads such con
demnation from the suffrage States
that we would be driven from power.
"Why should we not view the situa
tion as our Republican friends are
doing and line up for the passage of
the amendment? If this plan is pur
sued then the suffrage question can
not be made a political and partisan
issue. On the other hand, the Dem
ocratic party can not go into the cam
paign next year with any hope of suc
cess with a large Republican vote in
Congress In favor of the suffrage
amendment, and a large Democratic
vote tn Congress against the amend
ment.
How can we of the South expect
the confidence of the nation in con
trolling the great committee? of
Congre?? unless we are willing to
trust millions of citizen? in suf
frage and non-suffrage States who
are asking us at this time to show
our confidence In them by granting
the right of suffrage to millions of
sincere, intelligent and patriotic
women? The men who ar? in the
trenches carrying the burden of this
war, when they were given the
chance to vote on the question of
woman suffrage, voted two to one
In favor of It. It the boys in the
trenches who every day risk their
lives for the national defense, are,
willing to trust the women to vote
as to their welfare, certainly the
men who are fighting the war be
hind mahogany desks can. trust the
American women with the ballot"

SUBJECT OF SERMON
a -
Rev. Stewart Tells of "Wedge of
Gold" and Joshua's Defeat
? sermon On "Tbe Biggest Battle of
the War" was preached last night by
Rev. Howard I. Stewart, pastor of tbe
Second Baptist Church. Fourth street
and Virginia avenue soutne?st.
His sermon was based on the story
told in the seventh chapter^of the
Book of Joshua, describing the cause?
leading up to the failure of the first
effort to capture Al. the second city
in Canaan. Two canaca were respon
sible, said Dr. Stewart Th? main
reason waa Joshuas disdainful under
estimate of the enemy's strengt?, and
the other waa the theft by one of hi?
soldiers of a wedge of gold, the sight
of which demoralised hia army.
The pastor likened this episode to
some of the recent transaction? In
Riusi?, where the present leaders
have been taking all kinds of golden
wedges from the German?.
The dedication of the church's serv
ice flag, containing thirty stars, waa
a feature of the patriotic proceedings.
CONGRESS TO BEAR
WOMAN SINN FEINER
_
??. Francis Sheehy ?itemngton to
Interview Members for Ireland.
?scaping from Ireland doubly dis
guised more than a year ago, and
since then putting the case of the
Sinn Feiner? befara hundreds of ?
American audiences, Mrs. Francis
Sheehy Skefftngt? n. widow ot the
editor slain during the Dublin re
bellion ot ISIS, Is about to plead with
members of Congress to include Ire
land, by specific measures, among the
small nations whose independence is
to be secured by America's part in tbe
world war.
Mrs. Skeffington, who will arrive
early this morning, believes Ihe Amer
ican people sympathize deeply with
Ireland's national arpirations. She Is
considered by Irish-Americans as an
uno?cial representative of the Sinn
Fein movement.
Dr. Patrick McCartao, official emis
sary of Sinn Fein, last September
presented to Congress, through Sen
ator J. Hamilton I?rwta, an address
from the Sinn Fein leaders. Including!
Prof. Eamonn De Valera, "uncrown
ed king of Ireland." who was born in
New Tork. Mrs. Skeffington had a
more intimate connection with the re
bellion ot 191? than Dr. McCartan.
Both ahe and her husband were paci
fist? and without connection with the
rebels. Mr. Skeffington, while pre
venting looting, was arrested by Eng
lish soldiers. Two days later, by ol
der of Capt. Bdwen-Coulthurst, he
and two other Journalists, who hap
pened to be loyalists, were ?hot with
out trial. Capt Bowen-Coulthur?t
was subsequently pronounced insane
Mrs. Skeffington has devoted her
life, ?lnce her husband's death, to put- j
ting the case for Iri?h independence ]
before America in a reasonable and ?
persuasive way.
During the next week she hopes to
Interview hundred! of Senators snd
Representative?.
