The campaign just closed resulting
in the denomination of Governor Cum
MINIS and the Cummns' slate con-
clusively shows the necessity of the
observance of clean politics and the
further necessity of quasi public cor
porations keeping out of politics. 1t IS
not necessary to go over the past ana
point out the reasons for the state
ment, because it is fresh in the minds
of all observers. The political leaders
had better take warning, and the rail-
road companies take heed. The quiet
tide UNDERLYING the fierce battle just
fought in the republican convention by
the representatives of the people in the
convention assembled. is forcing the
sentiment that will eventually over
throw INSCRIPTIONS political acts and
the dictation of railroads.

LONDON, June 30.-The prime

display. Had it not been for this
action think we would have OBJ
tanned already a vote in favor of
the franchise.
There are four million women
wage earners in England who de-
mand the right of political repre-

We demand the right to a voice

lives of women at every point, such

hundreds of thousands of well-edu-

How strongly this injustice is

that already petitions have been
signed by 1884 women textile
workers: and 1873 trade tand labor

100000 women workers-have also
