SHOULDER AND SHOULDER

Perhaps the most appealing stu
alton at the election polls in the Unit
ed States Tuesday, was the presence
IN the voting line of the wives,
mothers and sisters of the nation
men.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with
their men, the women Of America
marched to the polls, and for the
first time in history, cast their vote
in the election of a president OF the
United States.
In the crowds too, were the little
children. Babes in arms and toddlers
lust able to walk. They too, were
marching to the polls, not to cast a
vote. but to learn their first great
lesson in American government.
The sight was one which only too
strongly brought home to Americans
the true realization OF democracy
With all of its past democratic ideals,
these United States made their hrst
true demonstration Of democracy,
when the women of the nation with
a clear eye and a steady step, took
their stand as American citizens for
american ideals. -,
Tuesday, November 2, 1920, Will
always be a red letter day in Ameri-
can history. 1t will mark the turn
ng posat of events. The end OF cor
mt politics and the birth of new
freedom.
