OUR BOW.

X1ERY modestly we make our first
bow to, we trust, friendly pub
lie. Right gladly we extend the hand
Of greeting and Of Fellowship to al.
our co-workers, man and woman. We
hope to be regarded, not as "manish'
women out of harmony with the laws
of ethics, nor as political wire pullers;
but as earnest citizens working in che
interest of good government and bet
ter conditions.
The scales are falling from Oh"
eyes of public opinion and woman is
assuming her normal placc--not on
pedestal above to be fawned over, no
on plane below to be trampled uror
and ignored; but shoulder to shoulael
with man-both working on Gem
mon, sane basis for the betterment OF
mankind. One lady said: ave arc
tired of being put on a PEDESTAL. We
want men to elevate themselves SO
that we may work together"
Thus eager for our country's good,
for the triumph Of Republicaniam
which to US are synonymous terms
we make common cause with other
workers and unite with them &c
achieve grand victory at the polls
November z.
We urge every woman to join hands
with us. Shake off your garments OF
indifference, clothe yourselves with
enthusiasm, be q committee of one to
help In the forward movement of e
great party; register your vote and
become a factor In government.
Women everywhere are clamorinf
for the right to vote. W.. have it, an6
we urge ell who have that splendid
privilege to use 1t. fear there are
even yet some women who do not
value II; who would almost rather be
without it. We beg you to wake up
1t is grand country that gives its
government to its people. 1t is .
grand people that can establish ant
perpetuate form Of government that
brings happiness and prosperity; tha'
fosters business; that protects the
lives and property of its citizens,
whether at home or abroad; that up
holds national honor and dignity, and
that lives up to it's ideals. 1t is
grave responsibility to stand as the
executive head of such nation, or to
be helpless in that government. 1t is
surely serious If wrong choice i
made. YOU MUST MAKE A
CHOICE 80 come to the polls and dc
it. But first, LISTEN!
Mr.. Wilson's policies have not been
such as to inspire confidence, If he
stands for what you believe in today
what assurance have you that his at
titude will be the same tomorrow
Only recently he gave that noted
thought of "Nation too proud TO
fight" and said that preparedness"
would develop nation of miltarists.
He made some high-sounding phrases,
but today he is shouting prepared
ness and urging great and still great
er appropriations to carry out his pol
icies. You remember his abolishinP
the Taft Tariff Review Commission
and how he ignored its recommends
lions. He now advocates that same
policy. You know how he switched
around on the Panama Canal toll af
fair. You know how he has dilly
dallied with the suffrage question-oh
well, you know good many things
If you stop to think, but this yor
must remember: He insulted the dig
nifty of Utah when he interfered II
the Hillstrom case. He has blundereC
in Mexico; he has Numbered in his
labor legislation. SHALL WE TRUST
HIM FURTHER?
Charles Evans Hughes is no vii
experiment. He was not taken ray
from office or professors chair. II
has executive and judicial trainin
and experience. He has proven tina
his judgment Is sound; that he is TO
TO vice and graft; that he has mora
courage and stamina of u high order
He stands for peace, but believes il
an adequate national defense as
safeguard; he stands for nationa
amendment giving women the suf
frage; he Is foe ito child labor, {
friend to the working man. We need
just such rs he to cope with the Mex
can problem. "Watshful waiting
may be all right--for a seasonal ca
does that, but she knows when /
Jump! Hughes does, too, We car
