THE weak points in American poll
tics today are precisely the points
where women are strong" declared
Miss Elizabeth Hooley, in her address
yesterday afternoon at the weekly tea
of the Women's Political Union, at
headquarters, 70 Halsey street.
There is certainly no lack of BUSH
ness ability, executive talent or
shrewdness of any kind" continued
the speaker. This is apparent when
we note where America stands among
the world powers. infant as she Is,
though, compared with them, but
there is a dangerous lack of con-
science and humanity.
I'm the States where equal suffrage
exists it has been found that the
women have notably cleansed public
life. Women go to political meetings
and rowdyism fees before them.
Candidates are careful what they say
and how they say it when they know
women voters are listening. Public
officials are more careful about their
records because it has been proven
that women will not overlook many
of the things that men will pardon
AS to public policies, women have
steadily supported reform and new
ideas"
Miss Hooley recalled the fact that
in the colonial days women worked
side by side with the men, sharing
with them the hardships attending
the settlement of new country. She
pointed out that it was step by step
that the franchise was given to the
men of the United States, and en-
phasized the fact that the theory of
taxation without representation" ap-
plies to the unenfranchlsed women of
today just as truly as 1T did to the
colonists before the Revolution.
She declared that women would
take active interest in legislation that
affects women and children and IN
questions that escape the man IN MS
scramble for financial prestige and
political power
Miss Hooley concluded her talk by
a comparison of legislation in the
suffrage States ana the non-suftrage
States, pointing out that in the for
mer women readily attain by means
of the ballot laws which would take
years of indirect influence to secure
elsewhere If, indeed. they ever sue
ceeded in accomplishing their ends.
Mrs. Minnie j. Reynolds pointed out
that although women pay taxes the
state College at New Brunswick, sup
ported to great extent by the COM
binod taxes of the men and women,
do not admit the latter as students.
She recalled the fact that the
women of the State worked ten years
to secure reformatory for girls and
In the end secured an appropriation
