 CAMP PA|CN TRIP
Special to The Republican,

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The genius of occasions is to have something to do with the details of the five weeks campaign in twenty-eight states for Charles Evans Hughes, republican candidate for president. to be carried on from the womens campaign train which will leave the Grand Central terminal at eleven o'clock Monday morning for a tour of the country. Although an absolutely clock work | itinerary has been worked out by ! the Women'S campaign committee of the republican national committee and 1 the Women's committee of the na- tional women's alliance, and train committees, composed of large num- 1 berS of women, have been organized l in cities along the way to receive the train speakers and cooperate with | them Tn their campaigning, no hard and fast schedule has been made out as to speeches. In a general way it is nkown which women are best fitted l to speak in certain parts and on cer l tain questions, but although this is the first time women have ever got 1 together to help elect a president of the United States, or to enter in any definite and sustained way into na- tiOnal politics, they know that cam paigning is not the sort of thing | ten out before hand Much has been left to the local committees who know their people. Curously enough the women who are to go on the cam pign train are, with few exceptions not women who have talked for suff- rage. The exceptions are Miss Helen Todd, of California, Mrs. Rheta Childe Dorr, of New York, and Mrs. Raymond Robins, of Chicago.
 The other women. although all suffragists. have not worked as ac- lively for it as they have for the
 immediate relief of social conditions of
 one kind and another They are Miss
 Mary Antin Scarsdale, New York; Miss
 Helen Varieck Boswell. New York; Dr.
 Katherine B. Davis, New York Miss
 Mary F. Dreier. New York; pr. Kath-
 crime P EdsOn, Los Angeles; Mrs
 Maude Howe Elliott, Newport, R. l.;
 Miss Maude E. Mineral, New York
 Mrs. Henry MoskowitZ, New York
 Mrs. Nelson O'Shaughnessey, New York and Miss Harriett Vittum. Chi
 cago.
 They are all experienced in public
 speaking, all used to having convictions
 worth talking about. This is not a
 suffragists expedition. but something
 bigger. The women on this train are
 not gong Slmply because MrS. duSnes
 has come out for the federal suffrage
 amendment They have reasons o1
 their own apart from the issue o
 votes for women which make them be-
 lieve Mir Hughes is the best man tC
 further the social reforms for whicf
 they work.
 It is a representative trainload as ont i of the women said today.
 This is no ladies' holiday; this i!
 no stunt to keep women in the publi' eye It would not be possible to finance
 and manage a five-week stunt, no . could we get the sympathy and co 9 operation of the women of the countr. as we have done if we were not sin r cere this time, or if we had only on r reason between us for thanking Nil Hughes the right man. This is the cul , granted over all roads for the dedi ' cation of the Elephant Butte Dam the meeting of the Irrigation Con gress. the International Farm Con a gress and the International Soil-Pro T ducts Exposition to be held at k 7 Paso from october 14 to october 24 . and several thousand visitors an I delegates are expected from all point ia, tha TTpitod States and from man
