WOMEN MAKE KNOWN
POLITICAL DESIRES

SAN Francisco, CALF, JUNE 26.
If the Republican National Conven-
,ion at Chicago was the Mount Neho on
which the feminine Moseses who have led
the suffrage hosts stood and looked over
into the political promised land, the
Democratic National Convention az San
Francisco is the land itself into which
they have descended and filed their home
stead CLAIMS. Where there was one
woman IN attendance on the Republican
Convention, there are ten here, for the
Democratic convention. Most OF them
have no official connection with the blisi-
ness of picking Presidential timber, but
every sister of them is red hot politician
from the buckles on her pumps TO the top
feather in her bonnet, and she Is here 20
see how the political machine goes
around. And she counts on making a SEN
sation when she goes back home by telling
her club all about 1t, instead of paralyzing
them with her new clothes, rs WAS the
habit of "Erstwhile Susan, when she
travelled.
So the hotel lobbies and the womens s
headquarters and the streetsare iammed
with women who are talking candidates,
instead of millinery, and rubberIng at the
big politicians instead of at the shop
windows: and who have dragged ''Pa"
away from his ranch, -or his sawnill, or
his bank in Montana, or his country
store IN Cheyenne to the convention, for IT
is the women who are as keen as mustard
about politics now who are having their
first fling at President-making
WESTERN WOMEN PREDoMINATE.
OF course the Democratic convention,
being vhe first big political convention ever
held on the Pacific slope, has something
TO do with the number of women who are
also present. It's a novelty also. San
Francisco is keeping open house and has
left the door on the latch for all comers
and "Oh, Girl" when San Francisco
does that, it's some party, believe me.
But the Western women have come by the
hundred, because they are voters; be
cause they led the way in the enfranchise-
ment of their sex. and because they want
to jubilate little and meet the Eastern
women, who are still trying TO persuade
men that the woman who is good enough
TO be his wife or mother, is good enough
TO walk by his side to the polls.
