REPUBLICAN WOMEN BUSY.
HustiinE theoretically to Get Out Their Voter,
for ReGistrntion.

Yesterday was the busiest day the Republic
can women have had since the campaign opened.
Tho district workers started out earlier and
stayed out later, and the leaders around head
quarters were as'busy as bees in, blossom time.
Miss Boswell was exceedingly busy sending out
notices to all of:the club women, urging them to
hustle on the registration question. us to-day
and tomorrow are the last days. She will in
struct the district workers this morning to
give the best of to-day and Saturday to seeing
that mon who have not registered do 80, and she
has ordered them to inform themselves thor
oughly about the places Of registration in the
districts where they are at work, so that when
they find 1t necessary they can escort men to
those places.
THE President Of the Brooklyn League, Miss
kate Bostwick, brought very encouraging news
from her borough yesterday" said Miss Bos-
well. "She called at headquarters to consult
with some of-our leaders, and told me that
whereas there had been some strong Low sen.
timent in her club, Ethe -tide-had completely
turned in favor OF Tracy.
This was accomplished through his speech
in Brooklyn on Monday night, which was con-
conditions. Many who favored Low were SO
disguised with his unwarranted and personal
attack on Tracy in his speech on Saturday that
even more bitter in denouncing him than tho

organized Republican women, and they were
out In full force, including the Lowites. They
were 30 aroused that they Immediately pa sscd
a unanimous resolution pledging their sup

Tho Business Womcn's Club in this city is
doing. wonderfully fine campaign work. Their
night, meetings are crowded, and they discuss
the issues with the greatest enthusiasm. These
women are In so many lines OF business that
their influence spreads over considerable politi-
cal area. They are solid for Republicanism,
and are mot to be shaken in their belief in Or
ganization candidates and methods"
In our district work. said Mrs. Burns, we
find a great many more George men than Low
men. We ran against a.great many Gcorgeites
yesterday. Some OF them were abusive, but in
the end listened to our arguments. The ma
tional issues that we bring to bear never fail
to arrest their attention.
Every day we go on with this work we
find a great many who have been here ten.
twelve, even fifteen years, who are not natu-
rallied. Most of such are inclined to liepubli.
can principles. 1t Is the most aggravating
thing we have to meet in our political work.
a dozen times a day we meet women who say.
MY husband can't vote, but my brother or my
sons in another district can, and I'll tell them
what. you say Although the results won't

ask them to influence their brothers. sons. or
friends who can vote TO vote the Republican
ticket. We talk to all OF the icemen, coal men,
and grocery men that we meet In the halls OF

whom we find perfectly Indifferent"
