DR.. Maud Bowyer, Of Philadelphia.
spoke to large gathering at Fifth
and Market streets last evening on
suffrage. DR.. BOwyers theme was
Equality or the Connection Between
Politics and the Home" DR.. Bowyer
said: mo one stands for the home
and purity as women do. The home
is the basis of the whole social struc-
ture. The father the mother and the
children make the home, and it can
not be a perfect home unless there
is cooperation and a mutual sym
patty between all concerned. The
child demands the right of citizen
ship whether II be a boy or girl
Every man or woman is happiest
when they are living up to the best
that is in them, and they cannot do
that unless they have the power of
expression"

conditions that could be altered, the

Delaware.

Mrs Florence Bayard Hilles, Of
New Castle, and Miss Elsie Hill. Of
Norwalk, Conn, Congressional Union
organizer, returned to Wilmington re-
Gently after most successful tour by
automobile through the State of Del
aware. They were gone only two
days, but held meetings in Newark,
Smyrna, Blackbird, Dover, Kits,
Hammock, Camden and Wyoming.
They literally strewed miles of suf-
frage literature along their wagon
doorsteps. country store counters, and
in mail boxes. They were received
with great interest and respect The
largest meeting was held i'm Dover on
the Post Office steps. The men lis
tened intently. with DOTTED hats, and
contributed generously to the collec-
ton. At Kits Hammock the suffra-
glsts held a meeting on the beach. At
many towns the local suffragists
came TO welcome them and help with
the meetings. Miss Hills remark
upon returning to Wilmington was.
"The people OF Delaware have a
splendid attitude toward suffrage.
We hold meetings in Wilmington al
most every evening, and great inter-
est is shown both by the size of the
audiences and by the general oollec-
tions taken. For the first time in the
history OF woman suffragist in Della
ware an organization of city fathers
invited the president of the Delaware
association and the Delaware chair
man of the Congressional Union to
confer with them in meeting. The
organization is the Committee Of Old
Home Week, and the meeting was to
discuss a program for Old Home
Week in October. But formerly suf-
fragists have had to invite themselves
! to such meetings"

Women in 1916.

For president of this country in
1916. States in which women vote
will certainly cast 50 electoral votes.
And if the suffragists should succeed
meanwhile I'm the seven States where
franchise amendments will be sub
mitted 10 the electorate the women
will be factors TO the extent of some
150 electors. Here we have the
secret of much unwonted political re-
spect shown TO women by many
gentlemen in public life. Since the
republic was founded, farmers have
been "the backbone OF the nation"
for all oratorical purposes. and the
honest workingman" has been the
object Of unlimited spring and
homage from the stump. Whether
she values IL much or little, woman is
about to come into full portion of
this sort of thing There are many
signs that both Congress and the
White House are fully conscious of
the part woman's vote is destined to
play i'm the fall elections and the
even greater influence IL will have in
1916. The hand that rocks the
cradle may come to rule the world
in very direct fashion. philadelphia

Taft. when President. said 1.-THE fact
Is, not only among the Tagalogs, but
among the Christian FilipinOs the
woman is the active member of the
family, so, if you expect TO confer
political power upon the Filipinos, Il
ought TO be conferred upon the wo-
men" Since tho women of the
United States first asked for the
