Butte, Mont, Nov. 6.-Miss Jeanette

large in Montana tomorrow on the regu-
lar Republican ticket, has a platform
slightly different from the usual G. o. P.
principles. Here It Is:
National woman suffrage.
Child welfare.

worker.
Prohibition 0or State and nation.)
Greater publicity in Congressional
committee.
With the exception of Miss Josephine
Fernald, OF San Francisco, Democrat,
Miss Rankin Is the only woman whose
name will be voted on for Congress to-
morrow. In the primaries Miss Rankin,
facing seven other contenders. polled a
plurality of 1000 more votes than the
nearest other contestant.
1t was due to Miss Rankin's efforts,
more than those Of any other person,
that Montana granted suffrage to women.
She dances well, Is an excellent horse
woman, makes her own clothes-which
are called "stunning''-and is said once
to have built board sidewalk.
Miss Rankin is small and slight, with
hair her enemies call red and her friends
call light brown. She is still in her early
thirties.

ceive the returns without leaving at least
one member of the family, a trusted
kervant, or a caretaker TO protect your

safes unlocked whether you are in or out
of the house
Don't carry, a baby or young child
downtown and take chances on its get
ting crushed or injured in the dense
crowds.
Don't forget that the newspapers are
giving election returns to citizens over
the telephone, and that extra editions
will be rushed to every section of the
city as soon as the first news OF results
Is known.
Don't. IL you go down town. expose your
money in public unnecessarily, or carry
your money in your hip pocket. ....

mer OF any kind, especially for coin

crate who invite you to fall for the
ancient "pocketbook game"
: Don't be careless with your belongings.
Women. hold firmly to handbags, and see
that they are securely fastened. Better
still, do not use q handbag to carry

WILL PROTECT PARKS
FROM ELECTION CROWD

Anticipating huge election night crowds
along Pennsylvania avenue tonight, the
District government has sought to pro-
tect the park spaces between Tenth and
Fifteenth streets northwest.
The triangle formed by the intersection
of Thirteenth street, Pennsylvania av-
enue and E street has been roped in
completely with heavy tarred rope, wound
around iron spikes placed eight feet
apart This spot is always the mecca for
election crowds, and In former years they
have crowded the reservation, damaging
shrubbery.
This is the only park space in the con-
gested section Of the Avenue, and the
police have been cautioned to keep the
crowds outside the ropes.
The Washington herald., 1916-11-07

''The contention arose, however,
upon a matter Of sample packages
which at the suggestion of the custom
house and not at the Wanamaker
suggestion, had for several years been
packed together. These bundles mostly
contained samples sent by manufac-
turers,. which We're sent out to solicit
orders and not charged for; and some
times samples Of single articles of
merchandise, showing latest colors and
shapes, not considered of much value:
and yet all these packages went
through the custom house in the reg
ular way and charges were paid when
ever assessed.
After this long inQuisition, the Gus
toms officials versed themselves and
interpreted the law that their officials
should have charged on all the sample
packages. IT. was impossible TO go
back over so many years. and we were
Obliged to pay whatever the govern
ment asked, or have suits entered
against us. It Is a hardship that al
most every importer experiences.
I'm this instance, there is added the
further punishment for conscientious
activity in a political campaign which
is the right Of every American citizen.
80 sure am ! of the core OF the
three pivotal facts of this case here
stated that / am willing to establish
them In any, court by books, witnesses
and the custom house brokers who
paid the duties when the goods were
passed. and, failing to do so, 1 will
forfeit s100.000lto be distributed to tho
hospitals and charities of New York
and Philadelphia"
