imitation of the social interests which women have had for years, in different groups. This is simply an expression of womens political interests based on what they believe to be the best way to the social betterment they are after"
 The party will be joined at various points by women who cannot go all the way, but who will go through their own state, making speeches and working with the women from other parts of the country.
 Nor can suffrage, so far as it enters into the campaign. be considered a personal issue even by those people who are wont to consider it so.
 Mary Drier, who gives suffrage as a eason for her campaigning, has nation al and social reasons back of it. She says:
 "l believe that the time has come when working women throughout the country should be qualified to use poli- tical power in behalf of themselves and their children out of the experience of the past months Particularly, I be- lieve, the most important thing for women to do is to secure the enfran- chlsement of their sex and my profound conviction is that the unfranchised women of the country will be more
 
 under the leadership of Mr Hughes ana the republican party than under MT Wilson and the democratic party" From New York the campaigning women will go first to Albany. Other cities to be covered are Syracuse, Ro- | chester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo De- trolt, South Bend, Chicago, Rock Is land Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, St. Paul, Minneapolis.

ARIZONA RUBBER
 COMING ID FRONT
RECEIVED ar

That thinking men and careful in vestors are impressed with the possi- bilities of the Arizona Chicle Gum company is evidenced by a letter re- gently received by H. E. Shrum of this city, local representative of the con cern. from Judge William H. Stilwell. This is but one of several equally in teresting and optimistic communica- ions received by Shrum since the stock of the company was placed on sale.
 Incidentally word comes from repre- sentatives of the concern now on the coast that progress is being made in the matter of the manufacture of some sample automobile tires from the Ari- Zona product. It is believed that the Arizona rubber will be found better suited to the warmer climates than foreign rubber. The matter of finding a better rubber for use in water, also seems solved in the Arizona product. It may even be used as a vegetable coating for high grade candies.
 The letter of Judge Stilwell is as follows:
 Sept. 26, 1916. Mir. H. F. Shrum:
 It is with pleasure that I submit to you my idea of the Arizona Chicle Gum company. After careful examination of statistics and available documents at hand it appeals to me that it has passed the stage of experimentation and demonstrates a most interesting and valuable discovery and your com pany is now in a position to produce the marketable product.
 In my recent campaign through the state, it was with pleasure that l mo- ticed the miles and miles of Ocotillo 1yrn inc Inv ha ura gret that 1 must say that I am not able to take stock in your company now, but within the next few weeks if my business affairs shape themselves so l can, 1 will be only too glad to avail myself of the opportunity to buy stock. providing there is any left. My person. al acquaintance for many years, with several of the parties connected with said company, gives me every confi- dence that your company will be hon. estly and efficiently managed and the result should be a complete success.
 When once under way it should be a great advertisement for Arizona as a rubber producing country, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that rubber produced in this county will meet the demands of the climate and elements more successfully than rubber pro duced elsewhere.
 Aside from the probable substantial benefit to the stockholders of your company, the successful establishment of the manufacture of rubber in Ari- zona, would be of great benefit to this state generally, and obtain for your company the cordial financial support of other business enterprises and other citizens of the state seeking this sort of investment.
 Yours very truly.
