new scheme for compelling marriages.
BILE bachelors to marry. She was too
late to get the floor, but she said
to several OF the delegates that
she had statistics to show that there
was an intimate connection be-
tween her scheme and the Ia
Dor question. The great competition
If women in the field of labor, she
held, was because go per cent. of the
men refused to marry She said that
she was going to Boston to start .
campaign against the republican and
democratic candidates for mayor there
because both of them were bachelors.
She did not believe that .

was preparing pamphlet on her
