Woman suffrage a failure?" says
Sarah Plat Decker. former president
OF the National Federation OF Won

know that male suffrage has failed.
Look at the corporation control Of the
eastern states which do not have equal

we can be expected TO do is 10 add a

AS an instance, it might be cited
that the candidacy OF Sadie McManus.
a garment worker. for the legislature
on an independent ticket, drove both
old parties to pledge an eight-hour
law for women.
There are fewer votes bought with
candy than with cigars and drinks.
The lure Of a new fall hat hires fewer
women than does the prospect OF
new suit of clothes for the husband.
And, above all, the votes OF the
women stand as a constant warning
TO overconfident bosses not to stand
for indecency.
There will be four women in the
