Mary Booth, Julia Ward Howe,
Clara Barton, Lucy Stone and 9TH
er American women were given as
specific illustrations of woman's
commanding ability. The list of.
really great women is a long one,
that of worthy women much long
er one; that of capable, loving moth
ers, how very long it is! Measured
by the best standards no one can
deny that woman could fill most
worthily the Office of president of
the u. S. of A.
After a portrayal of the strong
qualities and great works OF Helen
Gould, whom she selected as the one
of Americas greatest women best fit
ted for the Office of president, she
concluded:
/ know she is not asking for the
nomination. I know she has not been
lowering the dignity of the office of
president by attacking the character
of other candidates! / know she
has not been making degrading state
campaigns! | know she is too pure
hearted to use her wealth in further
ing any political ambitions! 1 know
she has made no promises which a
Christian American would blush to
redeem! Yes, l know that the exec
utive mansion in Washington, that
the halls of Congress would be puri-
fed in every deed were she elected
to be the foremost woman, the exec
utive leader of this nation!
This exercise was we'll delivered
and it's presentation won the sym

Champ Clark of Missouri was NOM

the attention of the audience to the
last word. The speech was master
full presentation of the victories
Clark has won in campaigns and in
congress; of his wise leadership in
progressive legislation in the inter
est of his party and the people.
where wages, payrolls and smoke
stacks are of first consideration.
Clark has given evidence OF his
strength. The American people have
confidence in his leadership. They
are waiting with their votes to make
him the twenty-seventh president OF
the United States.
Oddly enough, Champ Clark is the
only one among the candidates who
has been able to accomplish really
great things. His career in congress
has fitted him, just as Mckinley was
fitted, to secure the legislation he
favored. In concluding he said:
We have had strong men in the
White House-none, however, with
bigger or warmer heart; none with
ripper experience or mind better
stored than this great Missourian
this great American, James Beau
champ Clark.
Marie Munger began in a quiet,
dtgnified manner her nomination of
Little Jerseys Big Man" Not once,
on its many pages. does the remark
able history of the United States re-
cord such a presidential campaign as
the one now in progress. Note the
exceptional men: the president, the
/ ex-president, that undjsmayed pres
idential candidate of three past cam
/ paigns; governors, senator's, con-
gressmen, and very broad-minded,
intelligent scholar and statesman.
Woodrow Wilson is the man who
/ fully meets the requirements of the
voters. He has forceful personal
ity which makes him the kind of a
man the United States needs. His
work. at the head of Princeton uni
versity. shows his administrative
ability. His successful work as gov
ernor of New Jersey tells that he can
be trusted to do things as president
