Almost to a m*n New Tork City's administration is enrolled In the suf- frnge ranks. A few offlcials do not ¦allow themselves to be quoted, but, fer the most part, borough presidents, rommlflsioiwrs, magistrates and oth¬ ers, say that they will vote for the suffrage amendment In November. Mayor  Encouraging.
Encouratement from tbe iMa.yoT take* the form of permission to quote him as fallows:
"Whatever may be the outcome ot the suffrage movement, it is the un¬ mistakable trend of affairs to-day to bring women forward to positions of influence Im public and social mat¬ ters."
The Mayor has further heartened the movement by rololng the opinion that "no opposition of men will be able to keep women out of the field of the world's work, if strength and courage distinguish women in the un¬ dertaking of that work."
McAneny  Urges Support.
Croorge MoAneny, president of th* Board of Aldermen, Is a recent con¬ vert to suffrage, but his testimony had no uncertain ring; "I hope that the judgment of the men voter*—when the amendment is submitted to them —will be favorable and decisively fav¬ orable; for I am convinced that the addition to the voting mass of tbose women who will go to the polls Will impr.ove the quality of democracy It¬ self."
Borough President*.

"it is the unmistakable trend of af¬ fairs today to bring women forward to positions of Influence in public and social  matters."
on the suffrage quesitioa to their inter¬ viewers were Maxcu* M. Uegba^ at Manhattaji; Lewis H. Potmd, at Brooklyn, and T. J. MoOormiok, ot Rlohmood. Mr. Marks, a declared suffragist, says that the word "people" takes in women, and that women would make that other word, "polltl- oi*n." a term ot honor «ntf dtsttftetloa.

David Ferguson, Supervisor of the City Records, argues that woman's participation in government, it de¬ manded by fair play and simple jus¬ tice and that nothing could be m'>re de«ira.ble or valuable.
"It la an almost losane condition of affairs, when one thinks of It, that a woman like Dr. Davit, whose capacity, energy and administrative skill earn¬ ed her the oommisekiaieTshlp of a hue* important branch of New Tork Clty't ffOTemment. tbe Department of Cor- reetlon, stMmld not be allowed to vote. tbuagb the tlMHtaaad* of men tnAiatea at til* vrlsona In her contnri, all of th*m convicted lawbreakers, are gtren that rlclit under th* statat**. gimly th* iil*dom of new r^A^SUUnibi batXar c*t buy wtthovt mor* 4*ll9r. •nd *a4 a itffiiitrti» tkat I*

Many Giv*  R*s*0fi* fbt Their  Bellsf In th* Suffrafl* Caua*.
Among the commissioners  of New York, suffrage la ia high favor. How  Adamson  Will   Vote.
There is no doubt at all in the mind of the Fire Commlasioner, Robert Ad- amaon, on the subjait.   He say.s:
"Ot courae. I shall vote for the woman suffrage amendment next fall. Women pay taxes, engage In large numbers In Industries, take an active and useful part In public affairs and are a strong factor in our economic, commercial and civic life.
"Why, In view of theee facts, wom¬ en'* right to Tote should be question¬ ed I have never heard a single good reason advanced."
Commissioner ef Public Charities.
John A. Klngsbijry, New York's Commissioner of PubUc Charities, sees women's problems in the great national and international problems of the day.
"They are problema of Hom^ and problems of Humanity; they are prob¬ lems in which the women of this coun¬ try have a right to be interested— more than that, a responsibility to be concerned." .
Wants Women to Vote.
Frederic C. Howe, Immigration Commissioner, speaks for suffrage and write* ftw suffrage and works for ¦uffrage as part of his commitment to soiclal progress.
"It is a terrible waste," he sajs, "to divorce one-half of society from par¬ ticipation In society's work. That is what we do to-day. I want woman's voice in the government for the effect It will kaT* on government; for gov¬ ernment Is to-day a matter of house¬ keeping, of domestic and social serv¬ ice. The changfMt In Industry and so¬ ciety themselves demand the partici¬ pation of women in poil'tics."
Two More Say "Votes for Women."
Two commissioners who have very definite reasons for advoeatiuB wom¬ an suffrage are John K. Weir. Park Commissioner of Queens, and George H. Bell, Commissioner of Licenses. Commissioner Weir saya: j
"In my work a.s Park Commissioner I find my moat interested aud  intelli- | gent supporters are women, who dis- j play a great deal of common sense as well as public spirit in their co-opera¬ tion  with  any  plans  for  the further¬ ance of parks, playKrounds and recrea- i (ton places for (tliildren.    it will be a ! good thing for the  park  department* ' when the women vote." '
Commissioner     Bell's     department | •brings him Into contact with vast num-1 bers of women who have to earn their 1 own livlihoods, women who are forced j to work by their own stern noie.sslties i and the necessity of other dependent on them.    These  rases, he  says,  ap- ! peal strongly to his intereat and sym- j pathy  and  liis  experience with  them | convinces him   that  "a. woman  ought to ^ave  just   the   same^4righis  as  a man  ha?.    I  cannot see liow anyone ran argue against that.    I shall vote for the amendmt'nt and I hope it will win."
Four Votes In  Favor.
Three Commissioners of the Board of Taxes and Assessments who will vote for suffrage in Novftrwher are I.AW8()U iuiaj, Frederick B. Shipley, who lias heen a suffragist for twenty years, and John J. Halleran. Charles T. White, another Ccmmlasloncr of the same Board, hopes that the 1916 Legislature will t&ku prompt afflnoa- tive action so that the suffrage amend¬ ment can go to the voters in NoVem-

Neu* York Judge* Endor** Equal Suf- frag* In Unqualified Terma

Justice Learned Hand, United Stated Circuit Court, New York, favors "the extension of the suffrage to women on tbe eame terms as men."
Townsend Scudder, Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, believes that suffrage "will pro¬ mote better womanhood, brins woman into   closer   touch   with    the    world.

'l)rnaden and strengthen her menially and made her more serviceaible .lu all branches  of  life's  work."
Charles L. Ouy. Justice of the Su¬ preme Court, New York, tliinks that "the real ground of the opposition is that the enfrancliisement of women means democracy, seif-sovernment by all the people, rather than by a priv¬ ileged few."
Judge (Uiy is for self-government by all tlie people and Is consequently a  stauncli   suffragist.
John J. Kreschi, City Magltsirate, favors "the political as well as the social equality of the women of our race."
Judge Cliarlf-s W. .\ppleton, another City -Magistrate, says: "Wlien the question is submitted in New York State I shall certainly vote for it."
•JudBO William H, Wadhains, of the Court of General Sessions, thus sum¬ marizes the suffrage argument; "To study, to work, to contribute, to obey— these are tlie obligations of citizenship —they have been imposed on wonie.i. As a matter of common justice tho*a who are subject to the obligations are entitled to enjoy the privileges of citi- zensliip."
Judge James K. Norton of Wyoming, dec'lar^'s he will give the cause his sup¬ port and will vote for the amrndment in ISl.S.

Judge Daniel V. McNamee, County Columbia. One jof tlie aUmt oomprabansive butee «rer paid tlie mftrkg« omis< comiM'ttom Jud^e Daafal V. HtlS mee, of Columbia Cbtinty. Judce Mo Name« says 'that the feeling 8«ems widfwpread that a diminished sense of moral roepoiislbinty aa^ong ydt' is a gT9e,t present-day evil from whiclt politics suffers.

"To ear  hat the great body af woin»f en are not guided by a finer moral semee than meoi as a whole, is the Hil4\^ talk of the thoughtless and uniufonnw Rd.

State and country furnish ample evi< dence for the aasertlon that womea administer charities and supfwrt and, attend churches to a percentage al' together out of proportion to their numbers as compared with men; and crime is committed by men to a shocking extent as compared with women.
"I doubt that any practical 'politi¬ cian will affirm tbat there is a single election district In the State of New Tork w4iere the law Is not violated every year In connootion with the use of money to Influence votes and elec¬ tions.
