WOMEN WAG|NG WAR ION WOODROW WILSON'S
 ANT|.SUFFRAGE

The W0man'S Pafty campaign against President Wilson, the first woman's political campaign ever car ried on in this or any other country, is drawing to a close in twelve suf- frage states, and drawing to a close with dramatic bang. The campaign put up by the suffragists of Arizona in this tense fight for the national political freedom of women, has not been wanting in dramatic incidents and all the clements of contest.
 When the campaign against Presi- dent Wilson and his national support opened in this state there were few hundred members of the Woman's Party,-which is simply the western name for the Congressional Union for Woman's suffrage. There are now thousands. They have put up an ad- mittingly clever campaigns spread their literature over an entire state; made the woman's party familiar slogan, and really gotten it into the consciousness of the electorate that Arizona women, with the women of all other states, are once more in a suffrage campaign-but this time q political suffrage campaign that de mands the enfranchisement of all women and opposes those politicians who have belittled their aim for four years.
 Three organizations have had the Arizona work in charge, Mrs. E. St. Clair Thompson in the southeast, Miss Iris Calderhead, in the North west, and Miss Vivian Pierce in the southwest. Headquarters have been opened in three cities-Phoenix, Tue son and Prescott, and these young women have actively campaigned, in street-meetings and every other known sort of meeting to acquaint men and women with the fact that they are out to defeat Wilson and his support on suffrage alone, because of the women of the nation.
 During the last few weeks some of the most brilliant figures of the suf- frage movement of this country have also passed through Arizona speak ing, and have been received with real understanding by the women of many parties. Miss Helen Todd, the per suassive battler for child welfare, was the first speaker. She awoke the state of Arizona to the fact that the educated women of the east are de- manding suffrage as weapon to help fight the battles of the exploited.
 Rose Winslow, the wonderful Pol ish-American girl who grew up in the slums of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia is now telling her dramatic story of the wrongs against working women in the mining camps and the larger cities of the state She will make hei appeals for justice for the women o1 labor,--who can only hope for ade' quate wages and decent living condi' tions when armed with the ballot,- right up to election day, visiting al parts of the state.
 Inez Milholland Boissenvain, Vas sar graduate, distinguished feminist New York attorney, will bring tho final message of the voteless womer of the east, the women of all classes to the western states at the end oi the month. Mrs. Boissenvain is con sidered in more eastern pageants ant processions than probably any othel woman. She comes west on a specia car to make final concrete appea in every suffrage state. In many states she speaks from the train. II Arizona, beginning October 25th, sh' will speak in Phoenix, Tucson, Pres colt and Winslow. These final ralliei will be the most dramatic politica meetings ever held in Arizona.
