New York, June 2 1. -Edward De Valera, hailed by many as president of the Irish republic," began a busy day today In hla temporary "white house. which Is th state suite at the Waldorf-Astoria.

'He had engagements with personal friend end friends of the Irish cause from all parts of the country. At luncheon and dinner Important conferences were to be held regarding plans for getting Irclund' casn before the American people, which Is De Valeras principal mission to the United De Valera was given an enthusiastic reception when his limousine arrived at the Waldorf last evening. Men and women became rivals to embrace, kies or touch the hand of the native of America whom Ireland adopted. A touring car daubed up to the Thirty-third street entrance of the Waldorf at, 6:45 o'clock. A cheer went up from 690 men and women who for an hour had been waiting expectantly for Its arrival.

The first of five men to step from the machine was a tall, serious vlonged man of thirty I ven. The crowd surged toward him. An elderly woman caught him In an embrace and showered kisses on hla forehead, oth-r women, much younger, tried to do likewise. Tw-o stalwart traffic policemen rescued the young man and literally rarrled him through tha crush, while the crowd responded to: "Three cheer for 1 Do Valera New York hud caught Its first glimpse of the "president of the Irish republic."

It tion banked on the other aide, the house today proceeded to tbo vote after a abort debate. The aenate has already pasted the resolution. The two groups of auffraglste did not speak today as they psssed. They were two hostile groups who celebrated the earns victory, but they celebrated it separately. The mllltanti acored a march on the other faction by having their bill reported from the aenate.

Today in the house the militants alto acored a beat by managing to secure a larger representation for their cojors In tbs hall of the house than the other faction managed to secure. Representative Slmpeon, of Allegheny, opposed the passage of the ratification resolution. He said he knew the stage had been set and the bill would pass, but he nevertheless wsnted to voice he opinion. The administration Iwse' sure to force the resolution sefoss. but he was not going along.

Representative Jleyburn, of Delaware, also spoke against the resolution. When the vote was announced the suffrage association came back strong at the militants. Representative Wallace, of Lawrence, moved and secured permission for Mrs. J. O.

Miller, the association's president, to hate two minutes fin wntcb to thank the house for Its action. Mrs. Maxwell Chapman, of Scranton. recalled that Just four years ogo today the liberty bell of th suffragists started on its tour of the state from Sayre. Mrs.

W. B. Christine, another loyal suffragist from Scranton, is here sharing th honors with Mrs. Chapman. "We're tickled to death Mr.

Chapman said when the house placed Its stamp of approval on the federal piohlbitlon amendment. 1 Mrs. Chapman has been here for several weeka lobbying for tha resolution. She is one of the most en-thusastlo workers In the cuuse. Mr.

Chapman motored here from Scranton and appear every bit aa happy as Mrs. Chapman. John Davenport, of Wilkes-Barre, accompanied Mr. Chapman here. Mrs.

Davenport Is the suffrage leader la Luzerne. 'Mrs. Chapman and Mrs. Davenport were busy all morning getting the liberty hell ready for todayi victory parade. Their progresslveness resulted In permission being given to use the flag! that grace the senate and house rostrums.

Mr. Chapman fought until the last to win over Representative Ruddy, of Lackuwanna, to suffrage. Ruddy stood pat. "A woman's place Is In th home not out at the polls, Ruddy said today. Suffragists picketed the polls against Ruddy when he declared again suffrage.

Pennsylvania swung Into line for woman suffrage today. Lackawanna gAV five votes to the cause and one against, fowler, Dawson, Ehrhordt, Jones and Dnvl voted aje. Ruddy voted no. There was a wild demonstration onre the vote wns The militants, With suffrage flags flying, held forth on the right side of the house. Th opposition.

It was a big gathering and a notable one.

was Interesting, too. Just a hint came to the possibility of Mr. Palmer appearing a a presidential candidate. He eald nothing of thla himself- The mention of the possibility came from the Hon. William B.

Wilson, secretary of labor In Mr. Woodrow Wilson's cabinet. Mr. Wilson said: Tonight we endeavor to pay tribute to Mr. Palmer as the president hua done In elevating him to the high office of the attorney general of the United States.

It I a Justly deserved tribute and In due time 1 hope hi appointment to hie pesent office prove but a stepping stone to better things." That was all Mr. Wilson said but It brought the assemblage to its Mr, Fulmer was cheered. Predicts Ratification, Prediction by Mr. Palmer that the Senate would futlfy the treaty of paee and the covenant of the league of nations placed another high-light on the dinner picture, Mr, Palmer apparently does not think for a minute that President Wilson will meet insurmountable opposition upon his return from the peace table at Paris. Mr.

Palmer raid he should know: "Republican party leaders have said that America can not and will not sign. These senator have said that they would not sign. But they will. Germany said she would not accept hut tonight she has accepted. The senate may say that It will not 'subscribe to the pence treaty and the covennnt of the league of nations, but I give you niv word that tha treaty will not be In the senate for thirty days before the overwhelming sentiment of 'the American people' will force the senate to sign." Democracy, or that portion of It which county upre-sent, grew enthusiastic last night.

Enthusiasm over Mr. Palmer, over hi office, over the policies of the administration. over the good old country In general, hurst out In applause a dozen times last night. Local men who have played a part In tho story of Democracy had their share of It. The guetds rose at the mention of Joseph O'Brien and K.

J. Lynett. They came to their, foet when the lion, Bruce Sterling and Secretary Wilson were Introduced and they rose anj cheered on mention of President Wilson, of Franc and of Amcrlta. It was a good rron'lmid on Tsge ty of hli high office, dinounetd Uol-auevtem and anarchy and aald they tiatl no place in thla land. lie tiHcfd on a level with these Ims the political gunman whom he gulled I ho "assaasiln of character." Jlr.

Palmer epent four or five min-tites speaking tn his own defense. In reference to the effort to have hla nomination rejected, but mostly h.1 nddrcea was his tribute to Dcmoc-jiv. It was a powerful one. Mr. Palmer had coine here to re- reive for himself and for -the great office which he holds the homage of the Democracy which Lackawanna county foster.

That, local Democrats. could beat express in a dinner to Mr. Talmer. The dinner paid trtb- Di to the attorney general, but no better than did Mr. Palmer' a addreaa do honor to Democracy.

Wanta Open Investigation. Tha attorney general spent little lime In speaking In his own behalf. Then only to defend the office of the alien proporty custodian which he held during the war and which now linder Investigation by the aenate. ask for an Investigation of the affair of that office but I ak that it he conducted under the light and before the eyea of the American people. When the Investigation was started Jt was behind closed doora in a en-, ate building committee room and I hold in the same contempt those se icret assassins of character that I do I the coward who In the dark tried to 'hill me and my Innocent family.

Mr. Palmer turned the force of his oratory against Bolshevism and anarchy. Thla, too, wa the undercur-lent of tho addresses of practically all of the speakers. Mr. Palmer said: Anarchy may want tho abolition of our congress amt the substitution of a commission form of government.

If that is Ihelr desire and they obtain It through fnir means open to them then I have nothing to Must Do It Orderly. I "Their leader may denounce the government from their street corner oap boxes and 1 will say nothing to stop It for I believe In free speech and a free press. If they desire change In tha form bf AbVfcrnment "the way I open to them through the suffrage of the people, tho way which tue founders of our government have pro ldcd. "But let them not try to obtain these things by force. That America will not tolerate, They may kill a few attorney generals, assassinate some Justices of tho supreme court, hut If they do other men will rise to take these places and America will continue.

America Is not tired of tier government bnt I getting so of gnnrchv. Its leaders may be warned." Palmer has behind his 'speech tht weight of the office of the attorney general of the United States.
