Misses Martin and Vernon and that

nothing other than their personal pref

Is somewhat like the Toolcy street

AT best the difference between VII

only a matter OF tactics and not that
of a principle. Then, too. Hughes was
never known TO advocate woman SUI

II is False Pretense.
THE pretcnsc of these women bosses
that they will deliver the wOmen's vote
Is impertinence. The average woman
voter Is a reasoning being and not a
chattel to be delivered to Hughes like
so many sheep in the shambles. Such
political tactics are most rcprehen-
sible. Threats and bulldozing have al
ways brought about the undoing OF
what was intended to be accomplished
by such methods.
Anne Martin, Miss Vernon and
Miss IIenkle, in attacking President
Wilson and Senator Pittman, are not
fair. They would have the public be.

Vernon ct al, are the only women
reasoncrs and that the balance Of the
women voters are blind followers TO

This method of getting the women IN

For Higher seH.0overnment
Il am for Woodrow Wilson because
his whole official attitude has been
for the better side OF life. His adj
