WOMEN AS POLITICAL FACTORS.
Believing in the imperative need Of
an equal participation Of women as &C.
tive factors in government, how can
this great social and political reform
be effected? Every year become
more and more of the opinion that it
can be promoted, most of all, by the
practical participation of women in
politics. Task myself, how have women
secured their present enlarged legal,
industrial, educational and profession
al opportunities? Not alone by the
abstract demand, but by actual per-
sonal participation in these forms of
activity. In every case women have
come into their new pursuits not as
rivals or competitors, but as helpmeets
of men. It is curious how quickly alb
stract prejudice yields to accomplished
fact! Women are excluded from poll.
tics mainly because they are not per-
sonally active in politics. The pres
ence at st. Louis of Mrs. j. Ellen Fos-
ter of Washington, and Miss Smiley of
New York, as active republican work
ers, carried conviction to the minds of
scores of delegates and secured the
recognition of woman's rights in the
national platform, as outside appeals
alone would have failed to do. When
the invitation to women to help save
the country to the republican party
came up in the platform committee, it
was urged upon the ground that "there
were women behind it,"
II auxiliary clubs of women, local,
state and national, are working to con-
vert and convince, to arouse interest
aud enlistco-operation-the result will
be to secure friends and allies every

If the women of America will do for
their country what the women of Great

Grafton, presided over by Mrs. Glad
stone, held up the hands of the liberal
party until it was wrecked on the rocks
of Irish home rule. When the women
of leisure and society become enlisted
in party politics they will be allies that
no party can afford to do without.
