A New Era
In Politics

Only two women who went out to get
the votes Of women for themselves were
elected. Mrs. Sammis, Of Huntington,
Long Island, and Mrs. Lilly, of Manhat-
tan, were elected to the Legislature. and
both declare they owe success to the sup
port Of their own sex. Which forces

pended on to vote for women of good
record and the ability to fill public Of

Tor men OF another woman's selection.
The leader" as understood in the old
party camps, will not thrive in the femi-
nine field of politics.

an ancient politician of the male pergua
sion as he watched "A long file Of women

Love Me, Love
My Party

The woman leader of an important
Assembly district in Manhattan was
asked TO explain her failure to deliver
the woman vote she had so confidently
promised. Her answer is Illuminating:
Women won't stay put l have a
large club following, and when I sent
out invitations TO meetings, teas, lunch
cons and conferences there was always

"Of course, I assumed that this spelled
Love me, love my party and confused
personal popularity with political infu-

At the close of any of these meetings,
II vote could have been polled, many
Of the women would have voted with me
rather than create discordant note,
but they had been educated by the oppo-
sition in certain articles Of faith in
promised reforms to better the condition
Of working women and minors, and so,

political confessionals, nothing counted
but their conscientious convictions And

acted as aids and auxiliaries to male
forces fighting for some principle or re-

Just Because She
Was a Woman

Whether a woman's influence oyer her
sisters IN their political views may be
increased or lessened by her appoint
ment to Office is a matter for debate. It
IS said that one young woman who had
been given an appointment several
months before the late New York cleo
ton found time to play politics on the
side, though conscientiously fulfilling all
the duties required of her position. She
managed to speak every night Saturday
and Sunday in the afternoon and at
luncheons between. She was by nature
an enthusiast and a born politician She
had views and liked to voice them.
But short time before election day
she went to the district leader to whom
she owed her appointment, a man who
was a candidate on the ticket Of her
party, and she told him he must arrange
to cancel her speaking dates. IL am
losing votes for you by the Dozen" she
said
Recalling the enthusiasm which had
greeted the sparkling speeches of the
young woman, the aforesaid D. L. de-
manded her reason

publicity as woman appontee," she
explained, land | have appeared as

fame of Demosthenes. When women
come to hear me speak they find this out.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, January 31.-The decline which had carried prices here off to 200 for May contracts toward the end of the previous week, was checked by the re- duction in ocean freight rates and was followed by sharp recoveries. May con tracts sold as high as 2317c on We'd nesday, but at this level offerings in creased and since then fluctuations have been extremely nervous and irregular.
 The cut in cotton rates by the Ameri- can shipping board is expected to be met by British interests as soon as the period for which rates are now fixed has expired, and reports have been circulat- ing here of an improved export demand particularly from Belgium, according to rumors which were current in local trade circles today, the purchases of Belgian interests here have aggregated no less than 5000 bales, and it seems to be an- ticipated that this cotton will soon be- gin to move out as 75 per cent of the Belgian mills are reported in shape to begin operations as soon as raw material can be secured.
 Another factor discussed in connection with the advance from recent low levels has been the report of widespread agita- acreage this spring and many advices have been received in the local trade that farmers would not exert themselves to raise a large crop unless there were prospects for better prices.
