Marks NEW ERA

Mrs Raymond Robins left the
Hughes campaign train IN Chicago on
Tuesday night, in order TO spend the
remaining days before election IN
campaigning in Illinois. Mrs. Robins
has been one of the most popular
speakers all along the route. speak
lions, with which she has become
thoroughly familiar through her long
experience IN trade union worE as
president Of the Women's Trade I'm
ion League and member Of the exec
utiVe board OF the Chicago Fedora
ton Of Labor. She has made the fol
lowing statement with reference to
the work OF the Women's campaign
Ssain:
'.F4rst Of all. thing this trips is an
historical event It IS the first time
women have taken part in a nationa'
campaign. The significance OF the
trip is not. however IN women going
from New York TO san Francisco
making speeches for candidate Tor
the presidency.
Women Organized for n Cause.
s'The significance is the fact that
everywhere the train was welcomed
by women organized together in po-
Iitical cause. Everywhere commit
tees Of women who have never been
organized for anything so vital as
the politics OF the nation were gath
cred together. some Of them At very
short notice.
THAT means that the organization
Of women across the continent. and
IN all Of the seventy towns that We
have visited. has been splendid. Co
operative action. that will be the word
for successful action OF the future.
and for the first time in the history
Of the United States there has been
national cooperative action Of women
for politics.
"a significant fact is this. The
committees in every town were com
posed OF women who had achieved
something. There were always rep
resentative women doctors. lawyers.
business women. society women.
working women. club women. They
were banded together for cause
which had never united them and
they were united as they had never
been united before.
Meet All Classes Of People.
Through the committees and the
meetings which they had planned,
each member asking for the speaker
which she thought would interest her
particular group the most. the train
has reached literally every group Of
human beings in the country Min
ers. garment workers. all the rail.
road groups. workers in the indus
tries peculiar to the locality. like the
grape pickers in southern California
and the brickmakers in Streator. be
sides the men and women who would J
come to hear us in an auditorium.
1--WE have met ard talked to on
this important subject the highest
and the lowest. Unlike any other
group Of travellers. we have seen and
talked to all the mon and women Of
the country. 1t is the irst time that
I have ever had such broad human
experience in espousinG cause.

husband to go back to work. although
she was lying III with tiny baby be

without food or warmth. although the

she could not help wondering and

other children. I'VE do not not live

Il consider the message OF the
Lithuanian woman one of the greatest

IT want the story of this poor foreign
woman, who would dc for the liberty
OF her children. to be told to every
one who has ideals for the liberty
of the Iaboring men and women OF the
country. That story have told 600.-

II has not only pointed out to WON

West that the women OF the East
need their votes for the election OF

the federal amendment. which is the
only way in which the women OF the
East will ever be granite the suffrage
II has shown women all over the
country the value OF their votes by
explaining to them what they can ac-
com plish for other women by the
proper use Of their franchise.
1T isn't so important politically. /
perhaps. but It does seem significant
TO me that the train has been very
efficiently managed by women and has
proved TO men as well as TO women
that women and political efficiency I
are not incompatible"
