Rock, who is conducting a series of
revival services at that church.
Mr.. Hutchinson was greeted last

a stirring and thrilling sermon, on

Prevents Her from Actively Entering Campaign I2sen.

One of the hardest of the many
hard blows dealt the campaign for
Mr. Hughes among women is the
announcement that Miss Jane Adj
dams, "America's Foremost Citizen
and one of Theodore Roosevelt's most
effective lieutenants in 1912, is sup
porting President Wilson.
The disposition of Miss Addam's
first Presidential vote, which she is
to cast in Chicago on November is
naturally a matter of intence inter
est to every righteous American.
Miss Adams came into promin-
ence in the councils of the Progress
sive party when Roosevelt first an
nounced his divorce from Republican
spollsmen and representatives of spc-
nulled by mutual agreement. She
became member Of the Committee
of Nine which Roosevelt named as his
special advisers in the 1912 campaign
and had an important part in draft
ing the statement of Progressive
principles, particularly the sections
devoted to social justice, which
played such an important part in the
Progressive Party platform 1t wa
she who first put The phrases "sociai
justice" and industrial justice" mt
the American vocabulary.
Miss Adams is chairman of Il

affairs, President Wilson should re-
ceive the support Of those who are
sincerely endeavoring to improve the
lot of the average American citizen.
In the years devoted to improving
the status of the vast foreign-born
population whose life centers in Hull
House, Miss Adams became known
first as Chicago's foremost citizen,
and then was characterized by Roose-
welt as the Foremost Citizen of
America" When the Woman's
Board of the Pacific EXPOSE
Sition met last year to consider the
women who were to be given high
honors, they chose Miss Adams as
one Of the most noted women in the
Western hemisphere.
