HUGHES FAVORS FEDERAL
SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT
In .Letter to Senator Sutherland Be-
publican Nominee Comet Out
Squarely for Suffrage.
(AtnctattJ Prtsi Rtfori.)
NEW YORK. August 1. Charles E.
Hughes Tuesday declared for an amend-
ment to the federal constitution Brovld-
ing fof woman suffrage. Mr. Hughes'
views on the subject were made public
in a letter he has written to Senator
sutnerland or Uah.
Mr. Hughes' letter to Senator George
Sutherland was in reolv to a telcrram
from the senator asking the nominee to
aenne nis personal position with regard
to the equal suffrage federal amend-
ment. Mr. Hughes replied as follows:
"Tour telegram has been received. In
my answer to the notification I did not
refer to the nroDosed federal amendment-
referring to woman suffrage as this was
not mentioned in my platform. I have
no objection however to stating my per-
sonal views. As I said 1n my speech. I
think it to be most desirable that the
question of woman suffrage should be
settled promptly. The question is of such
a nature that it should be settled for the
enure country.
"My view is that the proposed amend-
ment should be submitted and ratified
and the subject removed from political
discussion."
WOULD PROMPTLV"
SETTLE PROBLEM.
Mr. Hughes amplified his views ia re-
gard to woman suffrage in addressing
late Tuesday the Woman's Roosevelt
league for Hughes declaring that the
question "ought to be promptly settled"
and that there was "danger to our se-
curity our unity to our proper attitude
toward political questions in deferring IL"
"I would take the shortest cut to Its
solution" Mr. Hughes continued. '1 fur-
ther believe that It is a matter affecting
the whole country. It Is one of those mat-
ters where we must have a uniform pol-
icy." MUCH JOY AT HEADQUARTERS.
