PLAYING TO WOMEN

Political scouts are reporting to
campaign managers of both parties
that many women will vote for Mr..
Wilson in this election because they
have been told that he has kept the
country out Of war.
"This is great mistake said Mrs.
Abby Scott Baker, press chairman of
the national Woman's party, who was
in Helena yesterday, "Mr. Wilson has
not kept US out Of war; on the con-
trary, at the time he wrote his strict
accountability note to Germany he
had determined upon war. "This
information" she continued 1--WE have
obtained from quarter so close to
the president that its authority can
not be doubted.
"At the time President Wilson
wrote his 'strict accountability note to
Germany he had determined upon
war;" she continued, "but during the

at was not Mr. Wilson, therefore
who kept us out Of war. 1t was the
sentiment of the American people
which the president knew would b'
expressed at the polls.
"But this nation was protected from
European war not only by its senti
ment for peace, but by the almos

against herself her principal source
of supply.
"In the only quarter from which
war could come the president has,
however, as far as it lay within his
power, provoked it. And rs re-
suit we have a lot more men in uni
form in military operations in Mexico
than we lost from Spanish bullets dur
ing the acknowledged war with Spain.
And for what? For an answer take
our occupation of Vera Cruz. Twen-
ty American marines lost their lives
when the custom house was seized to
exclude a shipload of ammunition.
And three weeks after those boys
were dead, that same ammunition they
had died to exclude from Vera Cruz
was admitted at another port (accord-
ing to newspaper reports) and by the
order Of the President. If such cost
ly sacrifices of human lives and hum
an happiness must indeed be laid up
on Lne dlLcI VI OuI COUuCIy, we WOul-
en- of America ought to be nationally
enfranchised in orde rthat we have
national power to demand that such
a sacrifice be not flung away for moth
ing by weakness and vacillation.
Eve have seen with how much at
tention the sentiment of nationally en-
franchised men was regarded after
the Lusitania was sunk. At the time
the president (again according to
newspapers) called to take council
with him in Washington many dis
tinguished men. The published list
of those invited did not contain the
name Of single woman. 1t is very
evident that we women of the United
States must have national political
power in order that our wishes, when
war and peace are debated, may have
national influence.

DOCILE, PLAS-
TIC AND TRACTABLE

TIC AND TRACTABLE
The present Stewart Democratic ad.
ministration has always been amen
able, docile, plastic, tractable and
compliant to the demands an dre-
mands and requirements of big busi-
ness and of "invisible government" in
Montana. When has it ever opposed
such demands? When has it ever
had conflict with such requirements?
When have big business and invisible
government ever had cause to COM
plain of, or oppose the Stewart ad
to them when chosen in the election
ministration 1t was satisfactory
of four years ago, it has been salts
factory ever since, it is satisfactory
now. They seek and want no change.
They desire above all thing four years
more Of the Stewart administration.
When the interests of big business
come in conflict with the interests of
the people under the administration,
big business has always had it's way
and the rights of the people were base
ly betrayed and surrendered. Think,
if yo ucan, of single exception to
| this course of conduct.
When the farmers Of Montana
clamored for farm loan mortgage
law, so they could obtain loans Of
| idle state funds at reasonable inter-
est rates, and thus escape the clutches
of the money loan sharks big business
opposed such salutary relief and Stew
art and Kelley and Poindexter and
Rae said "NO" to the farmers and
fawningly obeyed the behests of big
business.
1t was the same with transporta-
ton abuses, grain inspection and de-
mands for equal and just taxation.
There have been no exceptions. The
Democratic administration has always
been the plant servant and tool of
big business. And why?
| Because, "The OK knoweth its owner,
and the ass his masters crib"
There now comes from authentic
sources report that at least one of
the great railway transportation lines
in Montana is engaged in an active
campaign to elect Stewart Governor,
and to defeat Frank j. Edwards for
that Office. Other huge corporations
are reported to be about to follow
the same course.
This pernicious intermiddling of big
business with local government is both
shortsighted and lamentable. 1t is
to be sincerely regretted, but not fear
ed. Such intermiddling with the peo-
ple's business inevitably brings just
and condign punishment upon the Of
tenders. If the voters learn that big
business an dinvisible government, fol
their own selfish purposes, are fight
ing Edwards and working and boost
ing Cor Stewart, the victory for Ed
wards will be a certainty.
No one is making war upon thi!
great transportation line, nor is an,
war threatened, or intended. All tina

But when the Irish Party, misled by
what they thought to be the dominant
feeling in the House Of Commons. de-
cided to throw in their lot with the
Carsonites, the Orchards, and all the
hungry office-seekers and disgruntled
elements in parliament, what did they
hope to achieve? When they had
overthrown the present government,
whom did they expect to take it's place
and what would be the result for Ire
land? Obviously, when Mr. Asquith
resigned, Sir e. Carson, the leader of
all the forces which brought about his
downfall, should, according to all con-
stitutional precedent, be sent for by
the king to form new ministry, and
whether he insisted upon or waived
his right to do this, he would be one
of the leading men in the next gov.
ernment.
Therefore, as result of the latest
orientation in Irish politics, Mr.. Red
mond and the Irish Party have become
in practice and reality the followers of
Sir E. Carson and have merged them
selves for the time being with the
Ulster Covenanters in parliament in
the effort to bring about a Carsonite

taken more definite and more active

talk in political circles" On the mock
assumption that "Mr. Asquith might
voluntarily decide to seek relief from
the heavy burdens that he has carried
so long, Sir H. Dalziel gives list
of what he calls "a Cabinet of Action"
which is to replace the present gov
ernment. and OF which Mr.. Lloyd
George is to be Prime Minister with
Sir E. Carson as War Minister.
Sir H. Dalziel omitted to mention
that the Morning Post, when it trans
ferred it's allegiance to Mr.. Lloyd
George as the premier in posse, in
sisted that his first task should be to
apply conscription 10 Ireland. Mr.. r.
P. O'Connor, however. explains the po-
sition clearly enough when he writes:
The fact remains that 80 per cent
of the House of Commons are in favor
of an Irish settlement. and especially
Mr.. Lloyd George, who, apart from
his strong sympathy with the Irish
claim, is also anxious to get more of
the incomparably brave Irish soldiers
in the fight to the death with Ger
many"
What these words mean must be
patent to everybody.
If Cabinet Is Defeated.
Mr.. T. p. O'Connor, like Sir II. Dal
ziel, evidently believes that the days
of the government are numbered. He
says of it that 81, does not require
much to bring such structure to the
ground" and that an explosion may
any day take place which may mean
a reconstruction of the government"
1t may, of course, turn out that
these gentlemen are engaged in the
operation of dividing the bears skin
before they have caught the bear, but
the Irish public would do we'll to real
ize in time the possibilities which may
at any moment confront them. If the
present government is defeated the
immediate sequel is certain to be q

In the present composition of the
House Of Commons a Lloyd George
ministry would not have the slightest
chance of commanding majority
strong enough to enable it to exist for
a week. 1t would, therefore, have no
alternative but to advise the king to
dissolve the present parliament and to

How far it would succeed against a
combination of Liberal and Tory eau

moment, it is useless to speculate.

When the Morning Post nominated
Mr.. Lloyd George for the premiership,
and when Sir II. Dalziel showed how
new Coalition Cabinet could be
formed Of which Mr. Lloyd George
would be the head and Sir T.. Carson
the second in command, it is because
they knew that with the aid of the
Irish vote they were already certain
OF being able to accomplish the object
at which they have aimed-the driving
of Mr.. Asquith from power.
