causing considerable comment here. be-
cause OF the desperate fight made against

executive secretary of the organization
Of Republican women of the State, were
the speakers
Mr.. Root and Mr.. Hays both coun-
selled against disloyalty Miss Boswell
whose address marked the first appear
ancc OF a woman in a convention of one
of the big parties on a political equality
| with the men. declared that politics is
patriotism on the job" Both addresses
were strongly patriotic.
Miss Boswell said in part:
THE keynote of this convention is.
naturally. patriotism and service. Women
are here for the first time as working
parts OF a political convention in this
State. They are here because their pa
triotism had been so expressed In service
that the men of New York gave the one
great recognition OF that patriotism and
that service that lay in their hands TO
give: equality OF opportunity and OF
expression IN the political life Of our
State.
The men OF New York have ceased to
restrict the women to the four C.s OF
the Kaiser: church. children. cooking
and clothes They have accepted and
will use to the advantage OF the State
our aptitude for governmental as well as
for home work.
I'm the great State OF New YORK;
where we have had our first enrolment
of women voters. the figures show more
new Republican than Democratic voters
in the State, Many OF the new voters
listened to speakers from all parties and
had every opportunity of judging which
party they would adopt as their own, II
they had not already attached them
selves TO one. The answer OF the en-
rollment list is that the Republican party
appealed more strongly to women than
did any other party, and did so because
II showed the opportunity for the In
dividual.
"The Republican party IL the party
of action its breath Is progress; its
speech is the language Of the world. OF

The chairman OF the Republican Ma
tional Committee. Will H. Hays OF In
diana. said at the outset OF his ad
dress:
constructive criticism is duty, and
cannot understand the mental proc
esses or the heart beats OF nsen In au-
thority who do not want 1t. we regret
our allies have asked in vain for certain
great American leaders and we inss
that every possible efficient instrument
I'm men and material which Is available
shall be used to aid in winning the wal
and that inefIiciency shall be replaced by
efficiency wherever found. This Is nc
time for little things, The world is on fire
THE Republican party stands to-day
for three things: First, to use ever,
possible means to win the war now
second, for peace with victory. anc
never a peace by a compromise bargain
