Woman Suffrage Makes Good

= Woman suffrage won Tuesday In
four Of the I'VE states where IL was
submitted to the voters. These four
states. Michigan. Kansas, Oregon and
Arizona. will more than double the
number OF female votsrs In the
United States.
Those women who are already
voters fairly earned this great In
crease Of their number. They showed
that they know how to vote intelli-
gently and Independently.
For years Mr.. Roosevelt was any
thing but n suffragist. Like the Ger
man emperor. he saw In church,
Kitchen and children the whole
sphere Of women. When the Bull
Moose movement was ssething In
Chicago, he suddenly became con-
verted. He saw that women already
voted In six states and were soon to
vote In others, and he instantly e.
poused the cause with all the en-
thusiasm or a new convert. Moos-
ettes'' In every state began caz.
paigning for the greatest master OF
political arts in his generation.
But the women voters refused to

Republican party stood In the days OIL
It's purity.
Mr. Wilson was nominated az a
progressive and elected because a
large part OF the people OF the nation
believe him TO be one. This Is In
itself victory for the Progressive
party.
Had II not been for the night made
by Colonel Roosevelt and his follow
ers at Chicago, and their avowed de-
termination TO establish q new party
pledged to progressive principles, Mr.
Wilson would not have been nominal
ed at Baltipore. The nomination
would have gone to a recognized reac-
tionary, and the people of this country
would haYe had choose between q
reactlonary named by the Democratic
wing OF the bipartisan machine and
reactionary named by the Republi
can wing OF the same machine.
III Mr.. Wilson lives up TO the prom
ise or his progressive followers, the
nation will owe 1t to the Progressive
party that II has not Tory In the
| White House. y
But, whatever Mr., wilson's policy
as president, the new Progressive
party will force a realignment in the
Democratic population just as II has
done in the Republican. A political
party can no longer endure In this
nation half slave and half free"
"If Mr. Wilson aligns himself with
the progressives OF his party, the
powerful state bosses will force an
Issue that viii disrupt the party. II
he follows the footsteps OF Taft, the

And even Mr.. Wilson's consummate
skill at balancing cannot keep these

This Is written In the hurry OF cleo

that the Progressive party has been

Trenton, N. j., July 16 delegates
returning from the meeting of national
Democratic committeeman in Chicago
are eagerly awaited here, for it is
hoped that they will bring some word
regarding the intention of Governor
Wilson to resign as chief executive.
This information would have to be
gained through personal representa-
,tievs of Governor Wilson who attend
ed the Chicago meeting, for the gov
ernor himself refuses to discuss the
matter for publication. Friends of the
presidential nominee say, however that
he is in doubt, with disposition to
hold on. There are precendents both
ways. The governorship is bird in
the hand
No candidate for president is as
sure that he will be elected as his en-
thusiastic friends are, and Governor
Wilson is said to have pointed out
this fact to his admirers. This cam
paign is very young yet; it is no
