SOME OF THE ANTS ARE
ACTIVE IN CAMPAIGNING.

You may rececber that Mrs. Ian
sing was an Anti-and one high up in
their councils-but she and Mr.. Lam
sing went home a week ago to regis
ter. And don't for a moment doubt
that Mrs. James w. Wadswortb, )r.,
who headed the Anti-suffrage organi-
zation for a while. is not only voting
herself but leading as many OF. her
anti-suffrage friends to the polls as
she can possibly persuade to go.
especially in New York State, where
her husband needs her vote and as
many more as he can gather in IL he
is to return to the Senate in spite
of the we'll organized fight which the
vcngeful women of the Empire
State are putting up against him.
In fact / could name dozen
former anti-suffragists who, Ike Mrs.
Henry w. Keyes, of New Hampshire,
went out and rounded up the women
Of their districts at registration tine
and led them forth to register-of
course, offering them gratis sugges
tions as to how they had better vote.
And after all why not, since Cardinal
Gibbons, who has always been OPP
posed to woman suffrage, is advis-
ing all Catholic women to get out
and vote, even extending the call to
the members of religious orders.

MRS. HOUSTON HOPES TO
GO HOME FOR ELECTION.

Mrs. Houston explains that she
doesn't have to register. Her home is
in st. Louis county, just outside the
city, and she ia automatically regis
tered there. She hopes to go home to
vote. Just at present she is getting
settled after a most satisfactory sum
mer--and 1amenting that she should
have been so thoughtless as to lease
her house for four years, from Janu-
ary to January. instead of making her
the administration. Z .--
Also she is. waiting irnpatiently for
word from her son, David Franklin
Houston, jr., who In travelling half
around the world to China He is to
live for the present at the American
legation in Pekingthe minister to
China, Charles r. Crane. Is a close
friend Of the Houstons, and his young
est son, now also en- route to Peking,
was roommate of young Houston at
college.
Both Mrs. Colby and her eldest
daughter expect to vote--the others
are not yet of voting age, l believe
hut have not yet discussed ways and
means. 1T was recently announced
that Secretary and Mrs Colby had
each OF them "matched''' President
Wilson's $500 contribution to the
Democratic campaign fund. And II
she was enough Interested for that II
was safe to assume that she'd be in
terested enough to cast her vote.

MRS. ALEXANDER AT HER
HOME In MISSOURI

Mrs. Alexander is out in her Mis-
souri, Housekeeping open house in
anticipation OF a family house party
when Secretary Alexander and his
stalwart sons come home to vote.
Miss Rowena Alexander stayed on in
Ga1latin with her mother, and the two
ladies' will Undoubtedly vote when
their menfolk do-and possibly as
their menfolk do.

Mrs. Meredith assures me that she
is registered, and hopes and expects
to get out to her Iowa home to vote.
She has been flying around the coun-
try with Mr.. Meredith so much that
one doesn't know whether she Is sup
posed to be in town and getting set
tied for the winter or not. Nearly
always when she is in town she has
house guests, but she has not done
any formal entertaining.
She did, however, have that per
fectly wonderful party on Thursday
for the boys from Walter Reed HOS
pital,-a party with music and dane
ing and vaudeville and marvellous
spread, altogether something for the
lads TO remember. There are nearly
thousand men out at walter Reed
another big government hospital has
recently been closed and the patients

and months and then there's the
group of lads in Providence Hospital,
where they are being given vocational

not getting the attention which was
showered upon them during the war
So IL was good to hear OF one OF the
cabinet hostesses entertaining Tor

MRS. DANIELS MAKING
SPEECHES IN CAMPAIGN.

I've not been able to reach Mrs
Daniels since the spirit moved me to
inquire what the Cabinet women were
going to do in the matter of casting
their votes, since she's been down in
North Carolina. But since she's cam
paigning actively for Cox, at the invi-
tation OF the Democratic national
committee, there's little doubt as to
whether she'll vote or how she'll vote.
Mrs. Mitchell Palmer is going, to
vote--"of course" She registered at
the frst opportunity, at Stroudsburg,
where her home is--registered in per-
son. and expects to go home to cast
her vote in person. Moreover, she IL

Mr.. Bakers secretary to look II up for
her-glad she'd been reminded-and
II NECESSARY she'll do II over again,
for, OF course, she's going to vote!
There are other women of the
Baker connection who don't seem
quite so keen about it. however.
Mrs. Frank Baker, Mr.. Bakers sister
in-law from New Jersey, spent about
a week with Mrs. Baker at Beuvoir,
leaving last Wednesday for Cleveland,
where she was to be Joined by Mrs.
ID. Baker. Sr., the Secretary's
mother. who is to accompany her to
California for the winter. And out
there. presumably, neither OF them
can vote.
The elder Mrs. Baker is really a

wonderful old lady. She Is seventy
eight years young, animated, interest
ed and seems almost to have dis
covered the secret OF perpetual mo
tion. She's always on the go. Mrs.
Baker-our Mrs. Baker - says she
she has been to Europe twice since
reaching the threescore years and ten
which the Psalmist has said were the
days OF mans life-and as Europe
has been in state of general up
heaval most OF the time, one gathers
that she is an adventurous spirit.
Secretary Baker presumablA saw her
In Cleveland-as she was scheduled 10
speak there along about the middle
OF the week, about the time that she
and Mrs. Frank" were 70 meet there.
Also he presumably saw his sister-in-
law. of whom he had but the barest
glimpse during her visit at his WASH
lnkton home. For most OF the time
that she was here he was of on
speaking trip-mostly up in Connecti-
cut-and he spent nearly all OF Sun
day, the one day that he was in town.
at his desk down In the department..
Mrs Baker was mourning a day or
two later that ne was so terribly busy
in general way-snd just now so
absorbed in the campaign--that he
was wearing himself out, and never
seemed to have time for play. Espe-
cially she regretted that he wouldn't
take time to accept any of two or
three particularly alluring invitations
for little vacations that had recently
come their way--one from a camp in
the Adirondacks to spend week or
two; another from friends at the
Homestead. at Hot Springs. to visit
them for a week: apd one from
Katherine Trask. the writer, to make
her visit, at Yaddow Farm, up near
Saratoga. But Mr.. Baker thinks he
hasn't time, and I won't go without
him. So there you are!"

As. to Mrs. Marshalrs intention
there is nobody available who knows

likely to have changed her mind
