And the Republican national commit

event Of especial significance. for il
marked the beginning Of a new chap

say statecraft. It's a rather radical
thing for women to be given equal
voice with men in laying the platform
for a great political party and select

destined to play an increasingly i'm

certain; and the Republicans have
canny way OF bowling with exceeding
grace to the inevitable.
