Suffrage and Partisanship.

1t probably will not be debated that the womer
of the United States going to get the ballot
When they will get it is another question.
In view of the general expectation that suf
frage will be granted eventually it is interesting
to consider the point of view of leader of tht
women of the Alberta sufragists, who, with those
Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia
have won their fight. She is Mrs. Zellie McClung
who is touring the United States for the Nationa
American Woman Suffrage Association.
Il amazed" she said, in a recent inter
view, Eat the hde-bound partisanship shown
on all sides of the political campaign for Pres
ident.
at is foolishness, this bandying of un-
pleasant words between the candidates. 1t is
petty and trihing and when all the women
have the vote you will see it done away with.
'The ready-made opinion factories now in
full swing for one candidate or the other will
be laughed at then.
"The Republican, Democratic and other po-
litical parties won't be anything but labels
when the women get the vote throughout this
country.
ain our four Canadian provinces now hav-
ing suffrage, the women show little inclination
to link themselves with either party. Nor do
they all agree among themselves. Each does
her own thinking. They willing to listen to
all claims from all sides, but they wear no
labels on their backs to bind them to any prin-
ciples or persons they don't believe in.
"The national suffrage organization I am
associated with here, also the other suffrage
organizations, have taken the same stand, and
when they get what they've got coming to
them they'll do the same thing our women
did.
"The tremendous increase in the independ-
ent vote of this country will put the political
parties on strictly goods delivering basis"
Mrs. McClung said the voting women of thu
Canadian suffrage provinces have formed a pro
visional laws committee and will demand enact
ment of bills for municipal hospitals, equa
property rights for married women and mothers
pensions.
That is the kind of legislation the women ar,
interested in and will back with their votes" sale

A Campaign Speech.

Henry D. Estabrook of New York, made a
campaign speech to Washingtonians in behalf OF
Charles Evans Hughes at Convention Hall the
other night 1t was good speech that Mr.. Esta-
brook made.
To begin with, he said that ~all particular is
sues are merged in the general issue Of Hughes
VS.. WilsonP"
No one can quarrel with that statement, ex-
cept possibly to request transpositon of the
names.
There are times when knocking becomes a
scared duty" said Mr. Estabrook. That's a good
line, and it rings true.
The speaker mentioned that Mr.. Wilson once
expressed the wish to see Mr.. Bryan knocked in
to cooked hat. Maybe that's why Mr.. Wilson
made Mr.. Bryan Secretary of State.
Incidentally, Mr.. Estabrook declared his eager
ness to help knock Mr.. Wilson into cooked hat.
(Queer that we have so much alluson to Colonial
Sheadgear the trail of Secretary Bakers Valley
Forge remarksD
Mr. Estabrook expressed hope that harmony
might be evolved out of Repubcanism of varied
hues, such as "Plutonian black, lily white;
ringed, straked, striped piebald," thus no less
manifesting his optimism than expressing the
scope of his human outlook.
The speaker professed a large admiration for
Mr. Marshall. (Mr. Marshall is Vice President
d
paratively large admiration. He said Mr.. Marshall
is handicapped by his teammate, who will neither
go nor stand STILL but takes it out in prancing."
Persons who don't like college professors, no
matter how far they may be removed from col
legians, certainly did enjoy that shaft.
"To pause and to hesitate are by no means
synonymous" said Mr.. Estabrook, but he didn't
demonstrate the proposition To continue:
This man from New York who grew up in
Nebraska talked whole lot more like a Ne
braskan-habitat far from the city of Lincoln
than he did like New York counsel for arbi-
tration league.
Mr.. Wilson, he asseverated, lacks integrity,
that moral tissue that constitutes character, con-
sstency, constancy," and is "a genie conjured out
of an inkwell" "by nature effeminate," robust
only in words"
Then, just to round it all out in pleasant
sort of way, he says that "Mr. Wilson is not a
man of his word"
AS matter of fact, that's what we thought
Mr.. Estabrook was driving at all the time. Well
leave it to Mr.. Tumulty whether the speaker had
the right hunch.
Democrats say Republicans blame the admin
istration for the weather that Republicans don't
like. Here's proof of it, in Mr.. Estabrooks
speech:
"To call Mr.. Wilson weather-cock is unfair
to the weather-cock"
Here's place where the talented speakers feet
slept-no, slipped:
Nobody really believes in the therapeutic
value of the dogs hair that bit him."
Whoever heard of dog with hairlip?
After considering Mr.. Wilson from various
points of view, Mr.. Estabrook asks:
What you do with such man except to
love him or despise him."
Oh, we'll That's what it's all about, anyway.
You cast your vote to show your choice.
Yes it good speech that Mr.. Estabrook
made-that is, a good campaign speech-that's all.
