SUFFRAGISTS CERTAIN
OF DEMOCRATS' HELP
Leaders Resent Efforts to Have
Them Support Hughes.
WON BY WILSON'S SPEECH.
"I Have Come Here to Fight WITH
You," He Tells National Convention.
"Wilson Voted Fop Suffrage; Has
Hughes?' Mrs. Graham of Idaho
Asks.
Western women who have had the
ballot equally with the men for several
years resent the interference of one of
the factions of suffragists and the at
tempt to turn the suffrage cause into
an adjunct of the Republican party.
They believe they know how to vote,
and they refuse to turn against the
Democrats, who have done so much for
their cause in their respective states.
This attitude is brought out clearly
in an interview by Nixola Greeley
Smith, nationally prominent as a writer
on the staff of the New York World,
with Mrs. Alexander Thompson, Dem
ocratic national committeeman from
Oregon, and Mrs. Theresa M. Graham
of Coeur d'Alene, Ida.
"One would think," observed Mrs.
Thompson to Miss Greeley-Smith, "that
if any instruction in suffrage matters
had to be given it would come from
the women who have won the vote
and do vote rather than from suffra
gists in the east, who are still disfran
chised. I am a young woman, but I
have been through three campaigns for
the vote in Oregon. In the final cam
paign we won through the co-opera
tion and help and belief in us of the
men of Oregon.
Aided by Democrats.
"We have been votine only fiveJ
years, and we are still grateful to our
men. So when the Congressional Un
ion sent speakers to Oregon to tell us
to vote against all Democrats we laugh
ed at them. Why, at the last election
they campaigned against George E.
Chamberlain, who introduced the hrst
suffrage bill in Oregon and who had
been the friend of the women all
through their fifteen years fight."
"I agree with every word that Mrs.
Thompson has spoken," declared Mrs.
Graham, proxy member of the notifi
cation committee from Idaho. "The
conditions in my state are the same as
in Oregon, except that we have had
the vote for twenty years, and it was
given to us without our having to fight
for it. The Congressional Union has
speakers in Idaho now urging us to
slaughter the Democrats and free our
sisters in the east. How silly that is!
Are women in the east so foolish as to
?e led away by the mere declaration
of a candidate, unsupported by his
party, that he's personally in favor of
a federal amendment?
"Wooclrow Wilson voted for suffrage.
Has Charles E. Hughes ever voted for
suffrage? Viison has dona everything
consistent wi:h a belief in state rights,
one of the fundamental principles of
Democracy. Suffrage can never win as
a partisan issue. Alienate the Demo
crats en masse and you have killed ev
ery chance suvf . age has."
Won by Wilson's Speech.
It is admitted l.y simnivrjsts that
their cause has been helped greatly by
the speech President Wilson made be
fore the con- cntion of the Nations?
Woman SuiVme associate n at Atlan
tic City on Fept. 8. When the presi
dent told tb.em he had "come here to
fight with you" the 4.00 suffragists
gathered in . Xixon's theater arose and
cheered him enthusiastic ally.
This pledge by the president led Mrs
Carrie Chapman Catt. president of thev
association, to say:
"You touched our hearts and won
our fealty when you said ycu had
come here to fight with us."
"The astonishing thing about this
movement." said President Wilson, "is
not that it has gr wn so slowly, but
that it has grown so rapidly.
I get a little impatient sometimes about
the discussion of the channels and
methods by which it is to prevail. It
is going to prevail, and that it is a
very superficial and ignorant view of
it which attributes it to mere social
unrest. It is not merely because the
womeri-afe discontented; it is because
the women- have seen visions of -duty,
and that is something which we not
only cannot resist, but if we be true
Americans- we do not wish to re
sist. "I have felt as 1 sat here tonight
the wholesome contagion of the occa
sion. Almost every other time that I
ever visited Atlantic City I came to
fight somebody. I hardly know how
to conduct myself when I have not
come to fight anybody, but with some
body. "I have come to suggest, among oth
er things, that when the forces of na
ture are steadily working and the tide
ic risirifr to meet the moon you need
not be afraid tht itwill not come to
its flood. We feel th tide; we rejoice
in the strength o4 it."

The weakest link determines
the strength of a chain. So does the
traction determine the. pulling power
of a tractor. All the power of a tractor
must be transmitted through the ground
before it can be used for pulling. .
The Bates Steel Mule uses a Crawler instead
of a wheel because the ground surface varies so
much that a wheel does not give as much pull' as
it should. The motor puts the power into the
driving means, which in turn grabs hold of the
ground and pulls the load.

One lug on a drive wheel tractor may pull 3,000 lbs. on hard ground,
but a soft spot may need two lugs; a sandy spot, four; a wet spot,
eight. With only one lug pulling on hard ground a drive wheel tractor
may pull 3,000 lbs.: on a soft spot, 1,500
lbs.; -on a sandy spot, 800 lbs.; and on a
wet spot 'only 400 lbs. giving an average

Tractor. - - y
The Crawler
has enough lugs on the ground to deliver
its power under all working conditions.
No matter if it needs one or ten lugs, the
Crawler of the BATES STEEL MULE is
able to meet the emergency. The high
average pull is what makes the BATES
STEEL MULE one of the most popular
light tractors made, and why the friends
of thousands of satisfied owners are
ordering BATES STEEL MULES for
themselves.
