on G. o. p. Ballots to In
dOrse Defence Ideas.

OYSTER BAT. April 14-Col. Roosevelt
received a letter to-day from Harold l..
Ickes. State Chairman OF the Progressive
party Of Illinois. saying that the vote in
the Illinois primaries shows hat the
women In that State are with tho
Colonel in his preparedness campaign.
Few ono voted at the primaries
because under the law they could not
vote for the delegates" wrote Chairman
Ickes. "All they could vote for was n
preference for President. Only Shcr-
mans name appeared on the I;,puhl can
ba Hot. OF the i,S29 women who ,atol
the Republican primary ticket in roo't
County, 1881 voted for you and 2.s73
for Sherman.
Tho women. as we'll as the men, had
TO write your name In and the former
had less experience, so that il was rela-
lively a greater task. The fact that a
considerably larger proportion of the
women voting in the Republican primary
cast their ballots for you thar was the
case with the men ought 10 dispose ef-
fectively of the statement that the m
are not for preparedness and are OPP
posed to you because OF your stand on
that aud kindred matters.
Il am sure that IL "A fight had been
made In your behalf all over the State
in the Republican primaries you would
have carried II practically solid.
AS between yourself and Justice
Hughes, the results convince me that
the sentiment OF the Republican voters
Is overwhelmingly for you,
There Is no doubt In my mind that
Illinois Is for YOU as against sherman,
The sherman slate has been broken in
your henalf."
