HOW THE WOMAN’S PARTY
SAYS IT CAN PUNISH
ENEMIES OF SUFFRAGE
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
SAN FRANCISCO. August HV
Twelve suffrage >tates elect one-fifth
of the electoral college and cast one
third of the votes necessary to elect a
President.
In the last five Presidential elec
tions not one of these twelve has gone
steadily for any one party.
In 1912, a change of iV* votes would
have made California’s electoral votes
Democratic instead of Progressive:
:’»76 votes Wyoming, and .'••'*** Idaho.
Republican instead of Democratic.
In none of the equal suffrage states
would a change of more than 7.S per
cent of the total vote have been re
quired to swing the presidential elec
tion of 1912.
For the congressional elections the
same situation prevails.

GOOD THING YUAN SHI
KAI DIED, SAYS JAP
MINISTER TO CHINA
(Special to Gateway uy united Press*
TOKIO, August 12.—“It is not
easy to say whether the death of Yuan
Shi kai will prove advantageous to
Japan. Hut 1 think it is fortunate for
China that he died, in that his death
helped to settle the troubled situation
in that country.”
Baron Gonsake Hayashie, newly ap
pointed minister to China, thus dis
cussed the situation in the big repub
lic in an interview here today. Baron
Hayashi criticized the attitude of
many Japanese towards China, but
said he could not now say whether
there will be a change in the policy of
the Japanese government.
“Yuan Shi kai went looking for
trouble when he atcifipted to re-estab
lish the monarchy,” he said. “It is a
question whether the warning given
by the Japanese government was good
or bad. If the warning had to be
given, why was it not given in a
sportsmanlike manner, instead of con
sidering Chinese atl'airs as if they
were our own?
“The anti-Japanese sentiment fry
China could not be avoided. it hi n
our own countr\ we have had anti
government quarrels.
“In the last session of the Diet, the
question of guiding China was dis
eased. It is not proper to use the
word ‘guiding.’ It makes the Chinese
uncomfortable. Isn't it a fact that
Japan really has no power to take the
responsibility of guiding China? In
telligent Chinese merely laugh when j
they hear such a word used.
“We have had our own troubles in
raising our country to its present
state. Before China can succeed in
breaking away from the habits of 2.
000 years ago many years must paj^s
and she must go through many ex
periences.
“I believe it is a good thing to unify
the public opinion of Japan concern
ing our China policy, but 1 would ad
vise my countryment not to be in too
great a hurry about settling the
problems presented there. When the
time comes China will advance to
wards good government. It would be
a great mistake to try to ‘grasp the
mallet with a wet hand’ now.”
Baron Hayashi declined to discuss
in detail the probable effect of the
new Russo-Japanese Agreement but
said: “The Russo-Japanese Agree
ment is to be called a good thing
rather than a success. In China vari
ous suspicions seem to be entertained
about it. but 1 think they will prove
to be only temporary."

MKKNACIl SAYS MARTIN
PROPERTY IS WONDKRPUL
ANCHORAGE.—J. 1>. Meenach,
pioneer mining man of Alaska, among
the early stampeders to the Klondike,
discoverer of the Nizina placer dig
gings and the man who made the
Ellamar copper mine, returned last
night from the Willow creek gold
camp, where he has been the guest of
William Martin, a friend of long
standing.
Mr. Meenach declares the Martin
property to be nothing less than a
wonder. Ho says he never saw any
thing like it in all his mining experi
ence, and he has been on the go, vis
iting minng camp after mning camp,
from Alaska to Mexico, including the
bonanza districts of Nevada, t olorado
and Arizona.
Mr. Meenach said:
“There are four veins opened on
the Martin property, all showing high
grade gold values. It is well within
the range of possibility that these
veins will converge into one at depth,
in which event there is a fine pros
pect for a veritable bonanza vein.
