Show PRESIDENT REFUSES AID TO CAUSE OF SUFFRAGE Tells Delegation From Women's Clubs Federation That Question of Votes for Their Sex is State Issue. Washington. Five hundred members mem-bers of the General Federation of Women's Clubs marched to the White House on Tuesday and drew from President Wilson a final refusal to accede ac-cede to demands that he support the movement for a woman suffrage amendment to the federal constitution. The president reiterated his statement to previous delegations that his party had not embodied this question in its platform, and then for the final time announced his personal opinion that suffrage was one for settlement by etates and not by the federal government. |
