o'clock in special car attached to the
Federal Express.
From the time he began his speech

tariff until he made his last address at
Melrose and asked for "a square deal
the President spurred his husky voice
into strenuous action. 1t was one Of the
hardest campaign days Mr.. Taft has
snent since he entered the White House.
but both the President himself and the
mem bers of his party were confident To-
night that his second invasion OF mo
Bay State would bring votes for him to
the polls to. morrow.
Mr.. Taft's last long address was made
al Lowell to an audience that packed the
Opera House. So eager was the crowo
to gain admittance that several members
of the Presidents own party could not
get in until long after he began TO speak
When he came TO talk about the bosses
and Mr.. Roosevelts charges, some one
in the gallery shouted: Hes liar!
No, that isn't In my vocabulary said
the President.
Later. when he was referring to the
Lorimer case, evidently the same man
repeated his cry after mention OF Colo
mel Roosevelts name: Hes liar!"
Refuses to Adopt tho Term
"Mv experience on the bench has
taught me the value of words" said Mr
Taft. "One of the most unsafe things To
do is TO go further than 10 show tho
facts. / appreciate the support OF my
distinguishe and enthusiastic friend,
hut I must decline TO adopt his vocabu-
larry"
After declaring he was sorry 1t was
necessary for him TO have to mingie IN
political struggle, he suggested an
amendment to the Constitution 50 that
President should serve six or eight years
and be ineligible for reelection.
"I think that would prevent this he
said.

There is one phase of the stuff

1t is the way the women of the
leisure class go at their politics.
Rich men generally hire some
body to play their politics for
them. They contribute literally
to campaign funds and buy poll

And they don't like to get in

sometimes wear old clothes.
Some of the rich women, how
ever, seem to be different. They
enter into the campaign earnest

chance to associate with working
girls and women; and they talk
about matters of real interest.
Rich men generally go no

tually believe that if their wives
had the same rights of citizen
ship the men have, they would
make better use of them.
Women will do more than men
to improve conditions under
which men and women labor; and
if women had the right to vote
and take part in government we
believe they would more bravely
tackle. conditions in Chicago than
the men do.
And we believe great good will
come out of the participation in
politics of the women. If it does
nothing else it will enable the
women who wear fine gowns and
patronize the department stores
to see how profits are ground out
of the very souls and bodies of the
women and girls who wait on
them.
We have this much faith in
womankind; we believe that if
they get into the game of life and
see the misery of thepoor, they
will do what they can to right

FlANCE 20 YEARS
SUESFOR $4,000

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-It took Miss Mary
Glennon exactly 20 years to learn that
George F. Samuel, city track elevation
expert, didn't intend to marry her.
For the 20 years years, she said
she wore an engagement ring that
was given her by Samuel For the
same length of time she worked as an
advertising solicitor, while she aided
Mr. Samuel financially and made him
little boxes of sweetmeats, cookies
and other tOothsome articles such as
a girl presents only to the man she
loves.
And now having found that her
score of years of waiting has been
in vain, Miss Glennon has decided to
annoy her dilatory sutton by telling
the inside details of her long wait
to a jury-as evidence in the breach
OF promise suit for $4,000 she filed
Wednesday,
Since Miss Glennon has spent many
years in the advertising business it is
surmised that she will find little diff
Guilty in giving publicity to her ideas
of the man she once loved. She re-
fused to go into details of her pro-
gram. but said that she had refused
an offer of $4,000 in settlement from
Samuel, preferring to carry out her
own ideas concerning a settlement.
The recital of the events Of the last
20 years revealed one incident that
wasn't SO old as to lack in timely
interest. 1t occurred at Orchestra
hall the night OF Oct. 80, according
&c Miss Glennon.
1t was just about that time, accord
ing to Miss Glennon, that she began
intention of marrying her. She had
heard, she said, that he was planning
TO marry a Miss Bessie Biernam.
Something approaching a veTifcation
of this belief came at the Orchestra
hail concert, she says, when she
found that Samuel and Miss Biernam
were occupying seats close 10 the
ones occupied by herself and her half
sister, Miss Jeanette Mitchell.
Just what happened that evening
nobody seems TO know for sure II is
agreed, however, that something more
or less violent did happen Miss Glen
non says that when she found herself
iE the street she he'd up her hand
to summon a policeman No police
man was about to answer her sum
mons, SO she went home.
Monday, however. Miss Biernam
used another method Of summoning a
policeman. She went to the detective
bureau and swore out warrants for
the arrest OF both Miss Glennon and
Miss Mitchell, charging them with dis
orderly conduct
The two women appeared before
Municipal Judge Hopkins at the Hyde
Park police court, but demanded a
jury trial, and viii be given a hear
ing before Municipal Judge Cottrell
