will spend three days in Ohio, speak

Taft's political blood was also boiling

to be more vigorous than usual. The
President is prepared to defend his
administration most thoroughly and at

which are creeping into the Republi

On his arrival in Cleveland the
President went to the chamber OF

guest at private luncheon, given by
President Charles Adams. The pro

that it has been proved that women are

men are and will vote for these interests.
There are over 1000 600 female wage

There is no better proof than was given
by the municipal election in Los Angeles

to vote at the primaries in September,
and SOCIALIST mayor was nominated. In
November however. they had secured
their votes and the socialist candidate
was defeated and the good government

undoubtedly bring about many needed re-

a strong force. There is no possibility
of our suffrage amendment ever being
repealed, because, in addition to the men
who voted for it and the additional men
who would vote for it now because they
have been converted to it's value, every
woman in the state could now express
herself at the polls. l do not know of
any one in California now who would

VOTES FOR WOMEN,
W-What Men Say for Woman Suffrage.
By Frederic J. Haskin

Although the testimony Of public men In
states where women now have the sur
frage may not be regarded as purely dis
interested, 1t is interesting to know what
they have to say in support Of the prin-
ciple Of equal suffrage. The following
are excerpts from statements made for
the public on this question:
Wyoming was the first state to grant
woman suffrage, and in the United states
Senate the two senators from Wyoming
are firm in their Endorsement Of the wom-
ems vote in that state. Senator Warren
said regarding the matter:
II have stood for woman Suffrage In
Wyoming for forty years. and am
stronger for it each year. While my
time is so occupied that am not able to
go out and speak in favor of woman's
political equality as I should like to DO
never miss a chance that comes my way
to bring It forward. take great pleasure
in the fact that 1 have been the means OF
converting a number of anti-sunraglsts
as the results of conversations at the din
ner table or on other social occasions.
Our women are as devoted to their homes
and families as in states where they 90
not have the ballot, and in addltlon are
a potent factor in maintaining PUBIC
morals
