WOMAN'S REASON.

Mary Lowering Holman Of Water
town, Mass, has written a letter to the
Boston Herald stating that the women
favor the nomination of Major General
Wood for President. She says in part:
| have been doing a little canvass
ing myself among the women l know
Most of them feel that of
the men mentioned Leonard Wood is
far the best suggestion, for he has had
administrative work along the lines of
governing Cuba was in a bad mess
when he Strengthened it out. They
grant thai Mr.. Hoover has handled the
food situation magnifcently, but they
query, rather pertinently, it seems to
me, if that one success fits him for the
big administrative job of President with
all its ramifications. They seem to feel
that some man who has handled a
state 5 administration or q colony is
better fitted for the post under discus
sion.
The reading of these reasons for their
belief convinces one that the women in
politics are not acting intuitively or
jumping at conclusions. They are rea-
soning on the questions and it is doubt
full if man could give better or more
intelligent statement of his political
preferences.

The rejected peace treaty now rest
ing in the reccsses of the White House
is sure to receive considerable atten-
ton in the coming presidential cam
paign. In fact state conventions are
already acting upon it before the ma
tional conventions have had a chance to
make any declarations regarding it.
Maine has just held a state con
tion which, in addition to eleeting
twelve delegates to the Republican Ma
tlonal convention, all individually
pledged to Wood has adopted plat
form which declares that the covenant
of the league of nations as presented
by President Wilson to the senate, dis
regarded the spirit of the constitution
and abandoned the traditional and long
established policies of the United
States. Continuing, the language of the
plank on the treaty reads:
1t sacrificed Americanism to inter
nationalism. Twice the President
through his followers in the senate has
held up and prevented ratification, be-
cause reservations guarding American
rights and principles were adopted by
a decisive majority of the senate. These
reservations protected the interests and
independence of the United States.
We are entirely ready to meet the
issue which the President, by his un.
yielding attitude, has forced upon the
country, to submit this question to tn,
people for their final decision and WI
favor ratification of the peace treaty
with Germany, including the league o
nations with those reservations.
This declaration from the Republi
cans of Maine gains added signifcanc
as representative of public sentimen
when it is recalled that the declaration
quoted does not represent the persona
view Of either of the two Republica
senators of Maine in the senate. Sen
ator Hale has been one of the ''mild
rcseryationsts, while Fernald was on
of the irreconcilable opponents of tn
treaty and covenant. 1t is not there
fore designed to bolster up the positio
Of the states representatives. in til
senate, but is a straight expression c
the opinion of the voters of the dom
nant party in the Pine Tree state.

According to opinions and estimates
