Julia Holmes Smith,
Notwithstanding the commune alton, the
suggestion that the women sho aid be al
lowed to discuss, even briefly his voting
trust was frowned upon by the managers
of the conference.
Mayor Jones of Toledo is one of the
most entertaining and popul ar public
speakers. He has fad which he has
worked out he thinks, to its ulti mate con-
clusion, and he states it, in sort of
frank, personal open way that catches his
audience, although l do not think as a
rule il makes them agree with him. He

that the best work for reform n govern
ment can be done by non-partis an move

majority of all the votes in the city of To-
ledo, with some 10000 to boot, running by
himself in opposition to both Odd parties,
and that later as an anti-part man he
got 10000 votes in the state o Ohio for

the antitrust conference he expressed
scorn for the management in that only
delegates holding red tickets were admit
ted to the floor and permitted TO vote,
and said that he felt ashamed thet his
right to vote was dependent upon his
having been delegated by some cine, or
the holding of a particular kind OF a
ticket. Every person who want, a to get
into the hall, he thought, ought t. be per-
