THE PROPOSED ALLIANCE.
The first matter of Importance to come
up was the action of the Republican Ia
dies relative to the forming OF an alliance
for effective work. but having for It's main
object the nomination of women for the
same Office by the different parties in the
field. 1t will be remembered that the he
publican Woman's club some weeks ago
appointed a conference committee OF three
in response to the request OF the Demo-
cratic ladies. This committee, however,
has not seen fit to confer with their Dem
ocratic sisters. but preferred 10 place

committee of their party TO be guided by

affairs except to the extent OF aiding their
own interests. did not look upon the prop
osition in a favorable light for under such
an arrangement there might be a Tossi-
bility of a woman being elected which
would be distasteful to some of them. so
the Republican sisters have seen hit TO
take no action in the matter of meeting
the Democratic women, preferring to act
under direction of the Republican com,
And so the Republican women sent word
to the sisters of Democracy that they had
decided to take the crumbs handed out
by their committee.

considerable discussion. It was the gen

the matter of delegates they would in no
wise be Disseminated against by the OPP
posite sex. AS the women now have the
franchise they should be accustomed 10
turning out at the primaries and look aft
er their own affairs as well. A motion
was made and carried TO issue an address
to the women OF the Demoocratc party
and setting out the Importance of TAX
ing active part in the work before the
conventions meet. The. women VIII insist
upon the nomination of clean candidates,
and they feel that if the members of their
sex do their share of the work this win
be done The address will be issued with
in the next few days.
