NEW YORK WOMEN FIGHT

The professional politicians. with
their usual short vision, are trying to

order TO prevent division in the

iput prohibition through, hut that was
!becsuse the rank and fife compelled
such action by the leaders, many Of
whom were unwilling.
The Anti-Saloon League will never
Endorse accept Mr. Wadsworth even
Ilf he is nominated The latest political
"dope"-and it seems Intelligent and
tpiausible--is that Tammauy viii sup

keep him ou' Of the governorShip Mr.

He has also been right on child labor
