Wall street Ii too busy harvesting
Democratic prosperity TO 90 campaign
ing-~hut 1t is sending It's womenfolk.
The greatest aggregation Of wealth and
social distinction ever represented by
fuss, feathers and fenininity left New
York on Monday, oct. z, by special
train de luxe to tell their sisters
of the West how to vote. Many
OF these women, claiming TO be equal
suffrage workers, are repudiated by
leaders Of that movement.
Stopping at Albany, Utica and SYRIA
cuse on their first day, the itinerary
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, a
tour lasting until November 1. The
exl enses are paid by and the tour Is
conducted undsr the auspices of the
Hughes Alliance.
"WOmens Hughes Alliance" sounds
Innocent and harmless enough until
one examines the personnel OF the or
gunization and discovers that II repre-
sents the feminine side Of he organ
lied and Morganized wealth OF Wall
stree.
The treasurer of the Women's Com
mittee Is Mrs, Mary Hartman Rum
sey, daughter of the late Edward II.
Hartman, railroad magnste and 'prac-
deal man" of the days when Theodore
Roosevelt received campaign funds
from the crooked business" which
political exigency later led him 10
denOunce.

the House OF Morgan to be Roosevelt 3

Many OF the junketers who are GO
Ing along to do the speaking are pro
fesSlonnl women, who could not afford
the luxury of special trains nor the
diversion of campaigning 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 for this greatest
society show that ever was put on
wheels.
Some OF these wives and daughters
OF the superrich win go along on this
mission and with their presence, II
not with their oratory, will warn the
women OF the west--who are already
yoters-that their country cannot be
"saved" unless the women cast their
vote for the candidate of plutocracy.
