Little Mary McFadden is just Irish
enough to believe IN home rule and

that hold women from the ballot box.
Il am not converted suffragist, :"

daughter of suffragist parents and

| don't know whether women will
improve the world as voters, but |
am for political equality because sex
should not determine potential citl-
zenship, and taxation without repre-

Apparently what was needed to
get the republicans together was the
handsome drubblng they got at the
recent election, for now we hear talk

j. Bryan for president in 1916, and
says Gov. Wilson, by the Baltimore
platform, is pledged to one term.
The platform declare for d constitu-
tional amendment limiting thepresi-

nation of new man very problem
atical. We hope to see Mr.. Bryan
president, but let US wait and see
