EASTERN WOMEN
IN NEVADA OCT. II

The Republican Women's campaign
committee and the Womens commit
tee of the Hughes Alliance are send
ing across the continent in October a
Hughes Campaign train to get votes
for Hughes. 1t has changed the slo-
gan so long associated with all wo-
mems political activities from votes
for women" to votes for Hughes"
and has placed practical political ac-
tivity forever above and beyond mere
voting.
This is not suffrage train. 1t is
Hughes Campaign train 1t will carry
a dozen or more of Americas fore
most women writer's and speakers
and workers, who have been selected
as leaders in their fields of work in
Americanization, immigration, educa-
ton. protection of women, probation,
and not for what they believe ON suf-
frage.
This train will visit 2S states, as
follows: Connecticut, Massachusetts,
New York. Ohio, Michigan, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota,
Montana, Washington, Oregon, Cali
fornia, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho,
Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Indiana, Kentucky, West Vir-
ware and New Jersey.
II will be met in each state by state
reception committees who will travel
through the state. The meetings will
be for both men and women. The
local speakers will be men. The meet
ings will be presided over by men,
and the issues presented will be ma
tional.
These women, who are pioneers in
the labor and civic work of the coun-
try, viii dispel once for all the idea
skilfully fostered by the Democratic
party that il has a monopoly of the
social and industrial workers of the
country; that all women are for Will
son because he has kept US out of
war, and that swapping horses in the
middle of the stream is bad policy for
America.
In getting votes for Hughes this
train Will serve a larger purpose in
America. 1t will unite the women in
national solidarity behind a national
issue. IL will abolish the last strong
hold of sectional spirit and state lines.
1t will be financed and managed by
women who, by being efficient, the

ton vital to the whole future of
