But measures can only be put into force through the men in
office. We must therefore make a choice Of the man and men
who will put the measures in force.
In the first place we should guard against Wall Street inhu-
ences again securing the control of our Government. They nave
been rooted out during the last four years. and they are working
hard to get back.
The eight-hour day should be extended to all our industries
whore nossible. Women should be given the rights which in justice
belong to them. For years the argument has hd some force wnn
me that women should be discouraged from working in factories n
stores, and hence, they have been Disseminated against IN wages

has been unfair, because equal work deserves equal pay. Hence u!
women in our employment who do equal work shall receive equal
pay.

The greatest reward for doing a good thing is the privilege to
do more, that is why Mr.. Wilson wants to be reelected; IN otner

r h.ve mucb admiration for Nh. Hughes personally, but he is
snrrounded. influenced and advised by nearly all the evil influences
Of seldshness and greed which I feel have retarded our progress for

There has been much talk of the attitude of the socaned Thy
