WOMAN'S PART
IN THE NEWS
TODAY

Chicago-This year the women OF
Illinois get their first chance to vote
for a President, and the registration
OF women is beyond all estimates. The
women start voting tomorrow, in the
aldermanic primaries in Chicago, and
keep right ON voting until the ''big
event" in November. There is only
one voting day that they will miss,
and that comes about through an over
sight. The Illinois women cannot vote
in the presidential primaries in April,
although they can vote for the presi-
Dental electors later on. Chicago wo-
men will vote this year for ten munic-
ipal court judges, two members of the
board of assessors, three University
trustees, one alderman, ward state
and senatorial committees and minor
officials.

Following an interview between the

the president specifically stating his
position. The president informed him
that Mr.. Hay had told him a federal

be achieved by utilizing the state
troops and making appropriations to
pay to the states on condition that the

Secretary Garrison had been a lead
ing figure in President Wilson's Off

ascribed in part Mr. Wilson's deter

plea for adequate national defense.
Mr.. Garrison began close study of
the military situation nearly two
years ago.
He has devoted days and nights TO
the subject. beginning his inquiry, he
has himself declared with only a
vague knowledge of the military his IS
tory of the nation. or of the problems
presented in planning for defense

eARRIsoN,s RESIGNATION.

President Wilson has been chang
ing his policies so fast that members
of his cabinet find it difficult TO keep
up. Secretary Garrison's resignation
is in protest TO this condition.
Bryan left the cabinet because he
saw inevitable disagreement with his
chief over the preparedness policies.
The Lusitania affair was merely the
incident that forced the issue and re.
suited in the resignation.
The nation applauded that retire
ment
Garrisons resignation is to be re-
GREETED. Bryan has not been missed,
but President Wilson will find it
hard TO fill the latest vacancy with a
man as able.
The chief executive probably did
not care to break with the state mil.
lila, which in many instances is a DO.
litical machine Of considerable pro-
portions. Secretary Garrison had the
temerity 10 speak frankly his views
of the efficiency of the national guard
as unit in the proposed prepared
ness program.
Most of the military experts agree
with Garrisons plans. The trouble
with Wilson'S preparedness under
the inspiration of Josephus Daniels
is that it smacks too much of politics.
II is unfortunate that these import
ant questions must be settled upon
the eve of great political battle.

President Wilson has jumped from
