Women of America.

The women OF America, III clho
ion and constructive service, meas
ured up during the war u every
requirement, and emergency eH-
acted much of Them Their inltia-
tive. their enthusiasm, ana their
sustained industry, which carried
many of them to the heavy DUR
dens of toll, form an undying page
in the annals of the time, Whlle
the touch of the mother heart III
camp and hospital, gave sacred
color to the tragic picture that
feeble words should not even at
tempt to portray. They demon
strated not only willingness but
capacity. They helped win the war,
and they are entitled to voice
in the reimbursement now at hand'
Their intuition, their sense OF the
humanitarian in government, their
urauestioned progressive spirit
will be helpful in problems that re-
otnre pubic Judgment. therefore
they are entitled to the privilege
of voting as matter OF right ana
because they will be helpful, IN
maintaining wholesome aid patrlot
policy. 1t requires but one more
state to ratify the national amend
ment and thus bring a long-delay-
ed Justice. i have the same earn
est hope as our platform express
es that some one of the remain
ing states will promptly take IA
yorable action.
SENATOR Harding's theory of the
GREAT office to which he aspires,
n,,tting a thoroughly fair interpre-
lit words lS that
Tho government of this country, so
Ear as it is embodied In the eX-
acutiye. should be what he is
pleases to call government py
narty," as in contrast with the eX-
.ercise by the president OF ms
own best final Judgment under the
responsibility assumed by MS SOL
ann oath of office, taking INTO
consideration the views OF others,
of course, in arriving at that flnai
Judgment, but recognizing no
group of any kind, not sworn, as
he is. to the faithful performance
of the particular duties IN ques-
tion. and not subject to impeach-
ment, as he is, in case OF serious
,nalfeasance in the performance or
those duties. The latter is the
conception of the presidency held
nv washington, John Adams ana
Thomas Jefferson in initiating our
Great experiment in political ana
Personal freedom under the con-
stitution. 1t is the conception held
hv lincoln and Roosevelt, by
cleveland and Wilson, and all 9TH
az presidents of the past to whom
history has assigned a significant
niace in the normal growth of our
free institutions. 1t is the concep-
>t;on of the presidency to which,
a., case of success of the demo-
"a tic marty in the coming election,
~ avn best efforts shall be dedi-
Gated, with a solemn sense, OF re-
snonsibility to the Power above, 10
~the people of the United states
az a. whole, and to the sacred oath
~ allegiance to the constitution
and the laws. There is, and Will
siways be, a useful place for part
doe in the conduct of a free gov
eminent; but any theory OF a
aeovernment by party" which
mmst weaken this solemn sense or
personal responsibility, or alter It's
ira ditional. direction and turn 1t
toward party or faction, can only
ssccertuate the possible evils OF
tnarfv and thwart its possible adj
sssantages. I am sincerely efafeful
