WANTED, NAME FOR POLITICAL GIRL BABY

In two weeks the animals will gather at Chicago The
Elephants the Bull Moose and the National Women's
party which should also be given place in the menagere.
So far name has been suggested and the Capital
Journal feeling the political baby is entitled to cognomen
entirely and distinctly its Own suggests The Girafes"
There several reasons for this The Giraffe neat
but not gaudy in its garb and showing distinctly fem

is graceful and attractive and carries it's head high
looking down upon all the other animals just as does
WELL the lady politician The zebra might do being some
what gay of attire but it looks too much like the demo-
cratic donkey in carnival garb.
AS another suggestion the animals being already pret-
ty we'll represented why not give the birds chance?
Most bird-lke anyway, than the balance
of humanity and besides they many of them capable
of high flights, and sweet voiced songsters. The
ostrich being the largest Of the bird tribe naturally sug
gests ITSELF and as qualification sports handsome
selection of feathers True it is not much of songster
and certainly not high flier but it is some runner.
This suggestion was made to an old friend who says
the idea is all right but have selected the wrong
animal He insists the goat should be selected as the
emblem of the women party from its persistent habit of
buttng in
This was not nice of him. but it's like naming any other
