REPUBLICAN SUPPORT
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The Michigan Republican delegation
In Congress, eleven in number, voted
solIdly for the extension of suffrage 70
women when that measure was before
the House January 10. This, together
with the support being given suffrage
by prominent Michigan Republicans,
may be taken as an indication of the
attitude of the Republican Party of
Michigan toward the question of ex-
tending the franchise and augurs well
for the support which may be expected
from the Republicans on November B.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-While Con
stable "Jim" Martin of Darby, was
currying a horse the animal suddenly
let loose terrific kick. With a snap
the constable's leg flew off, hitting the
barn door, ten feet away.
Smiling benevolently, the constable
hoped over and picked up the mem
Der. He found 1t slightly in need OF
repairs, but still good for years of SER
vice.
The constable's leg, which Is OF
wood, is noted for its durability. Five
years ago he took ii out hunting with
him, and when his shotgun exploded
accidentally the leg got the full
charge.
About three years ago a dog at.
tackled him, sinking his teeth In the
knee joint. The constable sighed
YEARLY and Strengthened out his leg,
closing the joint on the dogs teeth.
When the animal went away he left
two teeth in the joint.

So It is as part Of Americas war
program that the campaign for full
suffrage within Michigan's borders has
been taken up by Michigan women. Far
from sacrificing their other war ac-
tivities to campaign for suffrage, they
have but added the campaign to Red
Cross, Liberty Loan and Oversee Hos
pital work and are carrying on" as
best they can under the double load.
Their belief Is firm that the suffrage
question will be lifted out of the load
