San Francisco, Aug. 24.-Mrs. Ger
trude Anterior, the well-known novel
ist, is making stump speeches in Cali
fornia in behalf of the candidacy os
Woodrow Wilson. The writer, whose
ideal of American craftsmanship here
tcfore has been Alexander Hamilton,
the first "reactionary," Says that Will
son is the hope of democracy.
The Roosevelt movement is refer
red to as a religious crusade" de-
clares Mrs. Anterior. ITO me it
seems more in the nature of a hyster-
iCal revival"
Although Mrs. Anterior attacks the
mits that she has a speaking liking
for him because he is 100 per cent
male"
Seventy years ago Charlotte
Bronte invented Roosevelt in the char
acter of Rochester" said Mrs. Ather-
ton in recent address in this city.
"Since that time women have loved
Rochester, the man who was 100 per
cent male. confess that l have a
snealing affection for the type. Roch-
ester was a colossal buffer, the SELF
sufficient man. Roosevelt is of that
| sort.
/ Woodrow Wilson is a man who al
ways exercises self-control He will
never be found acting like a bull
moose. It will never be possible to
call Woodrow Wilson Woody as
&c ballad Teddy
'T confess that ] cannot see much
difference in the personal platforms
OF Wilson and Roosevelt, save that

one was read and the other beloved.
Roosevelt throws off epigrams and be-
tween them are sentences that mean
nothing. l have never heard or seen
a sentence of Wilson's that was not
packed with thought.
Roosevelt, il l may use a vulgar
ism, is given to shooting off his
mouth, or / might say, his teeth.
Roosevelt in his platform promises
to improve the conditions of labor and
to eradicate child labor. l don't think
that il ever occurred to anybody that
while he was president he did prac-
tically nothing to improve the condi-
tions of labor. | don't think that the
need of legislation in the matter of
the white slave traffic appealed to so
virtuous a man as Mr.. Roosevelt. He
was too sheltered, especially IN his
family life, to know. about such things.
While he was president children were
working 16 and II hours a day in the
/ southern factories, but he did nothing
in the matter then.
Recently Mr.. Roosevelt has burst
out for suffrage. Wilson is opposed to
suffrage and is too honest to say that
he is for it. He has a few old fash
toned prejudices. But the best way
10 correct them is to vote for Wilson
and convince him by that means that
suffrage is a good thing"
Mrs. Anterior said that before
Rocsevelt's platform was made public
he said that it would be denounced
as socialistic and anarchistic, but she
said she had failed to discover any
thing to that effect in it.
