1t is evident from the symposium

that Redwood women want the bal

A good many men have said:
when the women really want the

that standard the day Of the ballot
for women is close at hand. The
following are the expressions of
opinion sent in by the Redwood wom-

do you want to voter
Ella Philbrick: THE idea that
women can secure things by indirect
influence without the ballot is ridi-
culous. Indirect influence means
lobbying and graft"

been given the Divine right to life.

and therefore should have the equal
right with man for the protection of
those rights by means of the ballot.

lawsand cleaner politics. Through the
graft and greed of men thousandsof
women have been forced into the in

and children and it is unjust not
to allow them a voice in making the
laws by which they are governed,

factors in bringing woman back again

Baltimore, May 4.-The Roosevelt
campaign for Maryland's sixteen dele

was taken through the city at the head
of a parade, with red fire and bands,

A large number of persons trooped
along after him and as the procession
approached the theater at which he
delivered his principal address the
streets were crowded.
Colonel Roosevelt made three

criticisms which had been directed

man of the senate committee investi-

the report that a message telling OF
the Titanic's fate was received in New
York early on the Monday morning
after the wreck thus far have proved
fruitless, after two days of examina-

given to the operator on the Carpa-

to Islefrank' and signed 'Yamsi.'
which told of the sinking of the yes
sci and of the serious loss of life.
Il am now DESTROYS of knowing
where that message was the following
two days and why it was held up. Mr..

Wednesday. The Californian, which
was in easy reach of the Carpathia,
could have sent it and the Carpathia's

Louis Hoffman, announced an identi

previously in drafts of the identified,
so that, with the exception of three
members of the crew, the nameless are
as much of an enigma as when brought
to shore. Trinkets and belts give sug-

Of whom were of the ships company.
AS nearly all of the bodies for which
relatives came here have been turned
over to them it seems likely that a
majority of the 100 brought in by the
