WOMEN ACHIEVED GREAT VICTORY AT TWO CONVENTIONS Mrs. Jacobs Comments on Progress Made by Suf-
 frage Cause ARE RECOGNIZED BY
 BOTH BIG PARTIES After Many Years Work the Cause Is Finally Recognized in Both
 the Party Platforms
By LEON c. BRADLEY

To struggle unceasingly for 40 years for the attainment of two goals and never get within striking distance of either would seem to be sufficient to chill the ardor and the enthusiasm of any one
 Yet for four decades and more, the suffragists of the United States, rep resented at first by a mere coterie of agitators, and gradually increasing un- til they spoke for 4,000.000 voters, the women quadrennially applied to the two great political parties. They came with a regularity which surpassed the coming of leap year, and with a regu- larity no less marked, their resquests, or demands, were ignored. Democrats and republicans alike turned upon he the suffragists the back of their hand.
 At first their demands were ridiculed they were denied the privilege of be- ing heard by the committees, both re- publicans and democrats seeking to outdo themselves in showing their utter disregard for the vote-seeking women. But gradually they increased in strength and influence. At first, very slightly. so slightly in fact that the po- litical managers of the nation were un- able to observe the growth. Finally they were able to secure admittance to the committee rooms only to be jibed by the delegates and their de- mands ridiculed. But they at least had the consolation of knowing that they had been heard-which, if our ancient philosophers have properly diagnosed feminine character, was something, after

PEOPLES VOICE SUPREME

But America is a democracy. The voice of the people is supreme-pro- vided you can make the politician. busi- ly engaged in graduation and in making the eagle scream, listen to the voice. A few states-mere western states as it were-gave the vote to women. But the west was more or less uncivilized at that time, according to standards of the more effete, and the women were still far from victory.
 Other states were added, and they managed to always have a few friends on the platform committees of the two great parties-not enough to do any good, but enough to cast a vote or two in favor of the propaganda of the femininists Nine states finally acceded to their inslStent demands and the po- litical conventions paused-but only long enough to again turn down the de- mands of the women without so much as mentioning them in the platform. And this was only four years ago.
 But few weeks after the democrats and the republicans had framed their platforms in 1912, along came the bull moose crowd. The colonePs organization was nothing if not original. His fol- lowers smashed all precedents-they vio- lated all the ethics of political organiza- tions. They not only acceded to all the demands of the women, but they did it cheerfully. They even went further than the suffragists had asked or expected They favored the whole scheme of the feminine voters and stood ready-if em- powered by the voters of the nation-to grant full and equal suffrage to the women in all states.
 As had been expected, the bull moose crowd, still worshiping at the shrine of the strenuous one, re-enacted into their platform the same views on the suffrage question. The republicans, currying favor with the Congressional union, which was considered anti-democratic,l and hoping to win the support of the National Wom. an Suffrage association, favored the ex. tension of the suffrage to women.

publican Presidential nomination.
