nfiss Boswell Outlines the Plans of the
Woman's Republican Association OF the
stats-Qualities OF Col. Roosevelt That
Appeal TO women-A Lively Canvass.
The Woman's Republican Association OF the
Rtate Of New York proposes to plunge into tho
campaign. and II Col. Theodore Roosevelt is
not elected Governor. It will not be owing to
lack OF energy and interest on the part Of the
10000 women who compose this organization
Miss Helen varick Boswell. Chairman Of the
Btate organization and it's recognized leader.
has Just returned from Washington to d.
rect the campaign work, She is an of1cer OF
the National Woman's Republican Association
also. and has been engaged nearly all summer
in making preparations to help to elect Repub-
loan congressman all over the country. She
has. besides. been engaged In Red Cross add
hospital relief work.
When asked about woman's work in the
campaign, Miss Boswell said;
Il shall be. II possible. more energetic In this
campaign than ever before. The campaign will
be a short one. and 1t is proposed by Chairman
OdeIl to crowd every hour with intelligent and
enthusiastic effort doubly to insure the success
Of our entire ticket. In this work Republican
women will have q part.
while we should do our best for any
nominee Of the convention. we shall work with
added zest because Theodore Roosevelt heads
the ticket. The women trust Col. Roose-
welt: we always did that, even II we sometimes
differed with him. To that feeling Of trust We
add the real love women always give a hero.
and he Is one-not alone for his splendid per-
gonal courage. but because he made himself as
q brother to his men, and displayed toward
them that one touch Of nature which makes
the whole world kin.
The plans for our association work will DIFF
fer somewhat from those Of the last two cam
paigns. one OF which was national. the other
entirely local. This being a State campaign.
our lines OF effort will be In some respects new,
but comprehensive. and we fully realize what
issues are to be met. and what their bearing
upon the next national election will be. The
convention has given us o platform upon which
every citizen Of the State may be proud to
stand. and its blanks will rest safely on the rock
OF public approval.
The issues growing out OF the successful
conduct OF the war will, OF course. dominate all
strengthen the hands Of President MekinIey.

the wise Craftsmanship which has distin-

guarantee to the Administration the unwaver-

broad measures arising through our new re-
