looking over the field with more than

flooding the west with what the CAM

out an extra carbon copy of any "rea-

In both the national Headquarters in
this city chieftainesses are at work.
Mrs. George Bass is looking after the
democratic party's interests among the
women, while Miss Harriet E. Vittum,
siastic Roosevelt supporters. Is doing
like work for the republicans. In both
headquarters there is evidence enough
in letter form that the women of the
west are taking a deeper interest In
the campaign than are the men. So
far as the male voters in both parties
are concerned there seems thus far to
be little or no enthusiasm. The word.
however, is that. of course, later things
will liven up.
