'the cause.' The Mayor didn't stay long,
but long enough TO enable him to say he
would vote for the suffrage amendment

Mr.. Malone stayed through the meet
Ing and made an animated speech, in
which he denounced Jim Nugent. praised
President Wilson, prophesied success for
suffrage IN the coming election and took
occasion to assert that the Catholic
Church Is emphatically not against
woman suffrage.

When the Vatican was asked to change
this custom the request was denied. II
the Catholic Church will allow the
women TO choose spiritual advisors by

have had power to stiie the intelligence
OF 10000 of the citizens who live where
they are generated.
IT have had the satisfaction Of cam
paigning in t~wenty-one counties of New
Jersey against the boss who opposed the
acknowledgements Of women. He is strong.
but don't forget that the man who sits
in the Presidential chair OF this country
beat that boss three times and the
women will beat him yet.

toned them. never given them any
credit" she said. "Nugent won this
time with the help Of the a%nti-suffrage
women. but ! would rather go down to
defeat with President Wilson than win
with Nugent. Better go without the vote
till the judgment day tina get IL with
the aid Of Jim Nugent.'

weeks OF the campaign.
But our opponents are driven to the
last ditch. and the last ditch generally
