An Aspersion On Woman's inteIIi
Qence

SSVCS
One Of the National Women's par
ty leaders who called ION Governor
Cox last week told him that the
women are going to vote for the can
didate who gives US the seth State"
That may be true Of the members
Of the National women's party, but
otherwise we believe very few women
will be fooled into thinking that the
action Of one state legislature on suf-
frage is to be the criterion Of the
government of the United States for
the next four years. To follow the
policy Of the National Women's party
on this matter would be equivalent to
reasoning that If Democratic State
legislature happens to be the 36th,
the Democratic candidate is the one
who should be elected and the Dem
ocratic party should be continued in
office for another term; or, il a Re-
publican State legislature happens to
be the one to finish the ratification,
that is, in and Of itself. a reason why
the women, who are conceded to hold
the balance Of power in the coming
election. should elect the Republican
candidates.
We refuse to believe that there are
any women in this city or in this
State. and very few in the United
States who are so narrow and so silly
as to allow their political sense to be
run of on such a tangent.
We do not believe the intelligent
women Of this country who have been
studying political issues and party
records. who have been trying to find
out how it is possible for the govern
ment to improve the things in our
national and local life that need to be
improved. who have been getting
ready to help the government do
those things, will let one COMPARE
lively small matter, over which neith-
er OF the Presidential candidates has
any control. prevent them from vot-
ing for the man and the party which
they believe will best serve the coun-
try. ,

of a sick man functions at times.
President. Wilson permitted the bill
to repeal all war time legislation, ex-
cept the Lever food and fuel control,
and the trading with the enemy acts,
to die on his hands, but he found time
to examine and sign a bill appropri-
ating $35 to. reimburse Michael
McGarvey. a deserving Democrat"
of Brooklyn for set of false teeth he
lost in an accident at the Brooklyn

There has not been any general
chorus of disapproval. nor any evil

indications are that the party is more
united than it has been for many
