think he is still the Prince Charm
ing to the woman voters that he
proved to be in 1915 and that his
high ideals OF world peace Will
fascinate them this time and hold
them as before. Whether he be the
candidate Of the party or not. they
count upon him to be the central
figure in the campaign and to
make the appeal for the candidate.
Urged to study Platforms.
This fact accounts for the almost
frantic endeavors which the re-
publican managers nationally and
In every state are making to keep
the women of republican family
aff1liatlon within party lines. The
wives. sisters and daughters of re-
publican man voters will be urged
to study the party platform of
principles and to vote for the plat
form and the candidate running
upon it, with an eye single to party
declarations rather than personal
predilection.
Prior to the so-called "sob-sis-
ter campaign" OF 1916, when the
slogan He kept US out Of war;
seemed irresistible to the woman
voters. the experiences in the pio-
neer woman suffrage states had
been that on general political ques-
different. But let moral issue
arise. a question of local or state
cleanup, and the women were
aroused at once. They turned out
in force and fell upon the objec-
tionable candidate like a thousand
O. brick.
Which brings up now the ques-
tion OF whether the women may
not be called upon to take sides in
this election on what they may
deem a moral issue-the movement
to ltberalize the prohibition law
and in tho end to bring back beer
and light wines. Will they vote
solidly in the negative on that
question where it Is brought to the
front. or will they 'loosen up"?
Woman has ever been the natural
and implacable foe of the saloon.
How will the light wine and beer
advocate fare in their cry for
amelioration Of the drought?
Submit to Acid Test.
Candidates there will be on such
a platform, whether they have
party backing or not. Already
men are Announcing fer Cong.ess
individually. on = platform urging
amendment to tho volstead act to
increase the alcohelic content, 10
- to permit thss ssA of beer and

The democratic party in New

ord as promising party effort in
that direction. On such question
the woman voters may ind them
selves facing q choice between
Wilson high ideals and democratic
practical policies somewhat con-

Women Eligible to Vote.

missioners of st. Louis, in pre-
liminary canvass, which disclosed
that in st. Louis alone 100000
women are eligible for registra-

Missouri promises to go strong
on the women's vote. and the po-
litical managers are giving them
every recognition. The thirteenth
Missouri district has chosen \
woman delegate to the national
convention. and in many districts
women will go as alternates. In

the number Of women at voting

100000 are now eligible to vote
for President in 1920, by state en-
