 It happens that the National Wo- mans party, of which Miss Martin
 IS the leader, is the suffrage party; the feminine aggregation which has been diligently sending deputations to Washington to interview the president while keeping up q constant lombard ment of the congressional cohorts with fervent appeals for the federal suf- rage amendment.
 And it happens that the prospect and the democratic congress have so far turned deaf ear to their inn portunities and this is their punish men.t The ladies neither adore the judge nor admire his whiskers. They are even aware that he is very likely playing politics when he suddenly switches for suffrage after consistently opposing it before his nomination but | they are willing 10 take him 10 their bosoms even if he were bushy as a bear eat for the reason that he has given public evidence of being in favor of giving them what they want. And Miss Martin says they expect to hold him to his promise. We realize" she says, that politics and the hope of victory may have had a great deal to do with the change in Governor Huughes toward favoring national sui

 shows that the ladies are pretty fair politicians, too. It is plain that the | ladies accept the judge as something

 want it bad and are plainly willing tC

Since the days when whiskers went
 ua. ,. itsuian |, htts been d m;tNim
 among po.iticians that political candi-
 dates with bunch of hair on their
 chin were not as good timber as mus
 tached or clean shaVen specimen of
 the genus male for the reason that
 they were not only less popular with
 the men but were completely persona
 non grata with the ladies. It was
 found as d general thing that, all
 things being otherwise equal, the man
 with the barbered cheeks had all the
 best of 1t with the fair sex and when
 it came down to a question of choice
 between the smooth and hairy jowled
 the ladies were always for the party
 who was minus the curtains.
 Candidate after candidate has been
 keeping their face dressed up like q
 cave man so the politicians, wise in
 the ways of vote getting, usually did
 their best to put up candidate that
 would attract the sympathies of the
 fair ones. However, it has remained
 for the present republican standard
 bearer, Judge Hughes, to become the tirsl to disclose that this traditional dlslike of the ladies may be overcome for. according to the statement of Miss Annie Martin, chairman of the | National Woman's party, the ladies, | or d very large portion of them, are | unqualifiedly for the ex-justice- whis >ers and all. As an evidence that | the Jadge has overcome the feminine aversion to male passmentriie, in truth and fact, Miss Martin declares that the Woman's party intend not only to support the justice with their votes and Influence but will also raise a | campaign fund of one hundred thou~ sand to assist in landing him in the | D., sidcntial chair.
 Hughes has not only made bit wi,h | the ladies in spite of his hairy appen- ages but has also made himself so | solid that he will get both their votes | and coin. There is no joke about the | matter The ladies are for the re- | publican standard bearer, whiskers | and all, first, last and always accord | ing to Miss Martin, and are prepared | to "go the limit" to land him in the White House. It is, of course, hardly to be supposed that this miracle has been wrought without some very per tlnent reason. The ladies have not decided to support the judge because he IS extremely good looking-in spite l of his whiskers-as some might SUD- | pose. Neither is it clear that they | are overly impressed either by his | personality or qualifications. Nothing | decision to give their influence, votes and coin to the hairy one. As a mat ter of fact if one may judge from the words of Miss Martin, the ladies are not influenced in the slightest degree by the classical profile, the scholarly brow or the general spick and span, -to- order appearance of the re- publican nominee. They recognize, of 'ourse that he possesses all the neces- 'ary qualifications and attachments to enable him 10 fill the chair with credit 10 himself and the nation. But, this tlso is not the determining reason why they are going to give him their sup port and spend their dollars in his be- half.
