for them to hustle around collecting money
TO run the campaign. They need not lake

hats and 90 to the polling place in their
peighborhood, as they will be told with

have besn very acceptable their votes are
not desired. It would be unwomaniy to
cast a ballot: il would take too much time
from the household tasks; n II would DO
encroaching on the prerogatiye OF man.

can serve their country on election day.
and that Is by seeing that h men OF their

But In those ~weIl-regulated families
where there Is an assortment OF fathers,
husbands snd brothers. let the ome
folks look TO 1t carefully that every one
of them votes before he does a stroke OF
business for the day. Perhaps it will be
found that they have not registered. In
that case 1t will be the duty of the women
to see lint this never happens again. In
Denver and those other Western towns
where women are e~nfranchised. the number
of ballots has been much more than doubled,
for they not only vote themselves, but
they take care that there are no derelicts
among the men. Women as a rule. nova

also, that the campaign oratory. the huge
banners. the fireworks and the noise are
but chi'd's play compared TO the great.

In this women can have no part, but

Mr.. IAwrence Veillers. Secretary Of the
Tenement House Commission. addressed

days ago. He pictured the terrible cN-

There are other men besides Mr. yeillers
