chairman of the convention committee
which conducted the Roosevelt nation

taken possession of the organization
in Illinois and are driving conserva'

small percentage of women is trying
to force upon the sex a privilege which
they do not want and when will lesser
their dignity.
Mr.. Otis was a member of the com

him in the past, and that, on the 9th
er hand, the Republican situation
. improving daily.
