The political event of Convention week was the reading of the President's message to Congress on Tuesday afternoon. The President had been urged by Suffragists and Suffrage Societies throughout the country, by the National Association assembled in Convention, and by a delegation of women from the DPresident's State of New Jersey to take up the burning question of Woman Suffrage in his next message to Congress. The President failed to do so, and pointed the omission by urging the speedy enfranchisement of Filipino men. In a speech of great restraint and depth of feeling, Dr. Shaw, on Tuesday evening, commented as follows on the President's message

“It is a source of deep disappointment to one-half of the citizens of the United States,' Dr. Shaw said, “that in his address to Congress our President has neglected to mention, even by indirection, the vital question of Equal Suffrage. We are convinced that the President is not unmindful of the importance of our cause. We had hoped that he would realize the nation-wide importance and interest in this question, and would indicate some response to this. The President found time and space to urge the recognition of the Filipino's right to independence. He found time and space and propriety for his argument in favor of the extension of the fullest territorial rights to the people of Alaska.

“We had hoped that the President would recognize this greater need. We feel that the measure of

disappointment which is ours under the circumstances is a grave one. It was the time for President Wilson to have spoken. The timeliness was the paramount factor in our belief that the President would speak.

“He has fallen short of the greatest opportunity which has come to him. No preceding President ever had such an opportunity. Even Lincoln's opportunity to free a race by a word is not comparable with President Wilson's opportunity to release from the bondage of disfranchisement half the human family.”

Action on the President's message was taken on Wednesday afternoon, when Mrs. Medill McCormick, of Chicago, made the following motion

Since the President omitted all mention of Woman Suffrage in his message of yesterday and since he has announced that he will send several other messages to Congress, outlining the measures which the Administration will support, I move that the whole Convention wait upon the President to enlighten him concerning our movement, and to demand that he make the Woman's Amendment an Administration measure, recommend it immedfately to Congress, and insist that it be considered before taking up any other legislation whatsoever.

I also move that a committee of two be appointed to make the arrangements with the President.” An amendment weakening the motion was overwhelmingly voted down. Mrs. Medill McCormick and Mrs. Desha Breckenridge, of Kentucky, were asked by the chair to act as members of the Committee on Arrangements. The result of the interview with the President will be announced in next week's SUFFRAGIST.
