 New York, Oct. 3--Wall Street is too busy harvesting Democratic pros- perity to go 'campaigning--bu 1t is sending it's womenfolk. The greatest aggregation of wealth and social dis tinction ever represented by fuss, feathers and feminity left New York today by special train de luxe, to tell their sisters of the west how they should vote.
 Stopping at Albany, Utica and Syracuse on their first day, the itiner- ary takes the womens campaign train through the principal cities of the north route across the continent and brings them back through Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri and Kentucky,i a tour lasting until November 4. The expenses are paid by and the tour is conducted under the auspices of the Women's Committee of the National Hughes Alliance.
 "Womens Hughes Alliance sounds innocent and harmless enough until one examines the personnel of the or ganization and discovers that 1t rep resents the feminine side of the or ganized and Morganized wealth of Wall Street.
 The treasurer of the Women's Committee is Mrs. Mary Hartman Rumsey, heiress to the millions of the late Edward H. Hartman, railroad v1b days when Theodore Roosevelt receiv- ed campaign funds from the crook ed business which political exigency later led him to denounce.
 With Mrs. Rumsey on the Finance Committee are Mrs. Robert Bacon, whose husband was translated from the "House Of Morgan" to be Roose- velt's assistant Secretary of State. and later Ambassador to France.
 Mrs. Bernard H. Bidder, wife of one of the proprietors of the New York Staats Zeitung, leader of the German propaganda against President Will son. Mrs. W. H. Crocker, widow of the California mining and railroad multi millionaire.
 On the Train Fund Committee are Mrs. Daniel Guggenheim, of the Shelter Trust; Mrs. Cornelius Van derbilt, representing inherited mil lionst of railroad, capital; Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. daughter of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt; Miss Maude Wetmore, of the wealthy Rhode Isl and family of that name; Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, whose husband, Nicholas Longworth, inherited a large fortune.
 Many of the junketers who are. go- ing along to do the speaking are pro- fessional women who have won their own way in the world-women who could hot afford the luxury of special trains nor the diversion of campaign ing without pay. But back of them, with their money and the glamour that attaches to their gilded names. are the women standing as financial sponsors and social background for this gfeatest society show that was ever put on wheels. Some of these wive sand daughters of the super rich will go along on this mission and with their presence, if not with their oratory, will warn the women of the West-who\ are already voters-that their country cannot be "saved' un- less the women cast their vote for the candidate of plutocracy.
 The letterhead from Republican campaign headquarters gives only the names of the Train Fund Committee as above, but besides them there is an additional &ommittee inlcharge of this feature of the Hughes campaign. On this committee appear in addition to the foregoing members, the fol- lowing:
 Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury. whose hus- band is a Philadelphia partner of J. P. Morgan & Co.
 Mrs. H. 0. Havemeyer, wife of the Sugar Trust and Standard Oil Mag nate.
 Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, mother of Will liam Randolph Hearst, owner of un- told millions in American mines and Mexican plantations.
 Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont, who has un- dertaken to raise half a million dol lars to defeat President Wilson,
 Mrf. John Hays Hammond, wife of the multi millionaire mining man.
 Mrs. Mary Dreier. New York society leader with aspirations to emancipate labor of a wealthy German family with strong antipathy to President Wilson.
 Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, wealthy in her own right, whose husband with his inherited millions condoned "the crime of 1916" to follow T. R. into the Republican fold, while his brother Amos Pinchot is strongly supporting President Wilson.
 Mrs. William Einstein, wife of the millionaire owner of the Raritan Woolen Mills.
 Already it appears that the West will not receive this vanguard of the leisure class with unmixed enthusi- asm. A leading attorney of Pocatello Idaho, writing to the Democratic Ma tional Committee says:
