tions for Sending Letters
to Fighting Men at
Sea.

Washington, Aug. i4.-Hundreds

The first 80 per cent of the Ne

In the first batch il will not mat

order drawn or not, but in the Sec
ond each number will be checked up
and taken in order.
The sixth district is the first in
Omaha to have called it's complete
quota. One-hundred- men
had been named for service up to the
second examinations. This numbei
filled the quota, but thirty more have
been named to take the place OF any
men that may be exempted by the
district board or the army physicians
The examinations for the second
call in .the Fourth district will begin
Monday and continue over Tuesday
and Wednesday. Ninety-six men will
be examined each day.

NO, THE WOMEN DIDN'T, MAYBE
Careful examination Of the returns seem
to disprove the impression that the wom-
en- voters Of the United States gave the vic
tory to President Wilson, and the cry 1.-THE
women did it." is silenced by cold Stats
which have equal suffrage all hut Oregon
and Illinois were carried by the Democrats
But there is no evidence that the votes of
men were less favorable to Mr.. Wilson
than the votes of women. For example,
in Illinois, where Mr.. Hughes had a plu-
rality of $4,000. the votes of women were
divided in almost exactly the same ratio
as the votes of men. This was as true in
practical politicians who nave now had
considerable experience with equal stuff
rage in the American States agree that un-
der equal suffrage The vote is multiplied,
but have become firmly and finally con.
WINGED hat no other particular or definite
result j. produced. The political man
ayers have ceased TO consider women vot-
ers a. a separate factor. They address to
women just the argument that they adj
dress To men and find the response of the
one element is very like the response of
the other. The old joke of .'women vot-
ing for the handsome candidate" and the
old harping upon emotional voting will
naturally disappear from the language.
