There were IF laoaes rEsbo Is sent out by national headquar- ters Of the Bxsll Moose party, was present to give a talk and help in the organixation. Mrs. Parker is a Soutn- ern woman with very fascinating man ner of speech and she can talk Bl2al Moose politics until the COW moose comes home.
 She has been organizing Bull Moose women all over New England Her work has taken her into every city and town in Maine. New Hampshire, Vermont Massachusetts, and she says she has met with tremendous success.

 "Roosevelt is surely going to carry New England she said very enthu- porter yesterday why do I believe that to be soc Well. I'll tell you my one real reason for thinking that way. Every place I went I met men of all affiliated themselves with the Bull Moose party, however, have the great AOe-A enthusiasm whereas those of the other parties, particularly the Republican party, are more or less indifferent to the welfare of their party. You ask them who they are going to vote for and you get simple statement, Taft, and then they turn away from you he'n shout out with all the vim that's in him. Teddy, of course, he's the only one and then he'l start in and tell you his reasons for voting the Fro fQlx
 sOf course being a woman Pm not supposed to have any good judgment may seem a bit presuming for me to venture this claim that the Progres- slves are going to carry New Eng land. That is my % very & perSonaa TnacfSs raew, The Democrats are the only ones we have got to worry about They are making a good T.rl[ T,ang 11ghS peinr m nor- nor.

 Mrs Parker spoke of the sincerity of all those enrolled in the Bull Moose party and said it was amazing. She was asked as to why she believed the Progressive cause the one in which women should enroll, and replied: question: I'm not in this party pr1n- cipalIy because it advocates and pro- poses to work for woman's suffrage, although Tim frank to say that was first attracted by that plank In the Frogressive platform because De1eve i. in wcmen's suffrage As l look at IT, 2 working through civic leagues. moth CTS clubs, improvement associations and societies of all kinds who aimed and hoped to secure certain ideal con ditions among womankind. These or e zanizations however, have from ne cessity had all their energies separat- l.z he nff were scattered and it was therefore hard to accomplish anything more . than a whole lot of immediate re- suits
 r Now here is the Progressive party which correlates, brings together all of these aims and proposes to attain is ahe woman's cause as much as 1t 'is the mans and the women should unite with it for the attainment of better civic conditions and better con- ditions among the working people am one of the vast army of women who have to work for a. living, and means because I have studied it and their platforms
 Many of the women who have join ed our women's organizations that l have been organizing didn't believe in woman's suffrage. There were some here today who didn't, and that is so ef every meeting I hold. Now this sanizing the women, is for the pur- pose of getting the women to help In t5e campaign s work ana an any ,'T9ra w4man ra question can help in the work They hold cake sales and parties and in various ways help raise money ,,+eI In addition to that they distribute liter ature. This means a tremendous help to any campaign and that is the help the Progressives are getting all over
