Peoria. H.. Oct 17.4Admission BY
Mrs. Medill Mccormick that she and
the other Chicago suffrage leaders in.
terested themselves as individuals In
the judicial campaign Id the fifth dis
trict because they feared for the equal
suffrage law caused much comment Ill
political circles today. Mrs. McCorm.
lex said: $50
The woman's suffrage law is not en-.
tirely safe yet. The opposition is
working night and day At the next
election we will probably have con-
test on our hands. We have taken the
law to half adozen lawyers and we
know that there is technical point
that may be misconstrued.
There is no use pretending that
such things are not done; they are
done and we women felt that we could
not sit still when Judge was to be
chosen who will have as much power
over Chicago as over the rest OF the
slate.'
A woman who attended the Chilli
cothe meeting asked Mrs. Mccormick
It Arthur Fl. Shay, the progressive cam
didate for whom the suffrage orators
are stumping the district, would con-
strue the law In favor Of the women
If he is elected to the supreme bench
OF the state.
Il wouldn't say that, replied Mrs.
Mccormick. "A judge cannot pledge
himself before he hears case. How.
ever, Mr.. Shay's record shows that he
leans to the human side OF things and
he would not be running on the pro.
gressive ticket If he disbelieved in
equal suffrage"
