twenty states have decided to let their
women vote for Presidential electors
in 1920. Fifteen of these states are
located west Of the Mississippi. Prob

issued an appeal to Republicans to
give immediate consideration to the

Will need In 1920.
1T will be well to abandon the
notion that a candidate should be

make when elected" the appeal
states. THE duty resting upon Re

II their candidate be not elected the
responsibility vii not be theirs. 1t
Will also be well to get away from
the notion that a candidate must be
selected because OF geographical To-
cation.
What this nation needs, first or
all, ia a president who believes in
the American system OF government,
a government divided into three
branches-legislative. executive, and
judicial-each performing faithfully
and efficiently its own duties and
not attempting to dictate the acts or
policies Of the others.
This nation needs-a president who
has had broad training and exper-
fence In the practical affairs OF. the
world and Of government. We have
suffered irremediable injury from the
hating and y~acillating eccentficItes
OF theorists whose chief skill is Id
making fine phrases that mean any
thing or nothing, as subsequent
events may make expedient.
WE need a president whose ASSOC
and sympathies have been
with the producers OF the country.
for upon the prosperity of the pro
ducers the future greatness of this
nation must rest.
There are three classes Of men
whose training and habits of thought
unfit them for the presidency. These
are schoolmasters, professional mill
AIRY men, and men, who have served
Iong on the bench.
Men Of these classes have been
'emoved from close relation with the
