Among the best known women
whose support is being given to the
campaign are Jane adams. the settle

Chicago; Miss Alice Carpenter Of
Brookline. Mass. who was a delegate
to the Progressive convention and now
is a member of the New York state ex-
ecutiye committee. and Miss Maud Ma

penter's particular work has been to
organize women enlisted under the
Roosevelt banner. She was recon-
mended to the bull moose movement
by Miss Frances Keller. who was an
alternate to the Progressive conven-
ton.
When Miss Malone. who in 1910 bit
terly assailed Colonel Roosevelt at a
public meeting. went into the present
campaign she said: "From now until
election day we shall beat up the coun-

for woman suffrage. but also to break

POLITICAL sTAoEcRAFr

The Progressive party came into ex-
istence with q great hurrah. It drew
% II the support Of influences with
which political leaders reckon. and its
campaign plans were laid with much
dnesse. It was a clever stroke to
name Hiram W. johnson of California,
one of the seven governors who formal
~ called upon Roosevelt to enter the
third term race when Roosevelt SEEM
ID to be hesitating. The johnson at
tachment to the ticket was a clever
stroke. too, because the Progressive
party leaders were convinced OF his
strength In the west. 1t was a practical
stroke Of political scheming that decid-
Cd johnson should devote the greater
part of his ~oratorical energies TO the
east, while Roosevelt should tear
through the west spreading the doc
trfnes Of the new party.
The Roosevelt declaration in favor
of woman suffrage was another ear
nest of the Roosevelt fight spirit and
willingness to take a chance when
It came 10 the popular verdict outside
of the suffrage host. Taft had come
out for woman suffrage In a modified
way, and with women taking a con-
s~picuous part in the campaigns of Taft
and Woodrow Wilson the bull moosers
were overlooking no visible opportunf-
ties.
