VOTE ONLY FIRST DOORWAY
FOR WOMEN IN POLITICS
The Se1 viii Have Long Fight Before They Reay Belong
in Mere Mans Particular Realm-Likely Bolt Tickets
BY CLINTON w. GILBERT
COPYRIGHT, 1920. bv Public Ledger Co.

'OUIrlUhtb <v<Vs VI
San Francisco, June 20.-If the
women get chance to vote generally
throughout the country this year it will
be largely due to the efforts Of Miss
Alice Paul and Mrs. Abbie Scott Baker
and their able band of picketers who
occupied "the sweethearts shop" at
Chicago.
The Republicans were made unhappy
by their sweethearts at Chicago. The
Democrats here took advantage Of the
situation and gave Miss Paul and Mrs.
Baker about everything they asked for,
except perhaps for not pleasing them
entirely about Russia. These ladies go
far afield in their search for gricv-
ances. Over the Republicans hung the
threat of the picketing of Mr.. Harding
in his peaceful Marion home, where,
Mckinley fashion, he is going to speak
to visiting delegations from his front
porch this summer and autumn.
1t would spoil the idyllic character
of Mr.. Hardiug's campaign to have fe-
male martyrs with banners lined up
before his premises. So the Republicans
are likely to do also what the militants
want.
You sometimes wonder what the
women will have to fight for when they
get suffrage. But after you see a ma
tional convention or two and realize
how little equal suffrage really does
for women politically, even in states
where equal suffrage is of long standing,
Won see that Miss Paul and Mrs. Baker
will have plenty to do all the rest of
their lives. 1t does not mean much
to have the right to vote if you have
nothing or little to do with the naming
of the candidates. That is what the
public realized when it came to demand
direct primaries. They do not help
much, neither does the right to vote
helm the women much. Nor the presence
of n few women delegates in the con
vention.
Fight Masculine Privilege
Masculine privilege Is nfmly eStaD-
lished and in place where it is hard
to uproot it. That is in the minds of
women themselves. Masculine privilege
is not established in the minds of such
women as Miss Paul and Mrs. Baker
That is why they are so effective and
why the men politicians do not like
them.
The idea here is that Mr.. McAdoo,
il nominated by the Democrats, will
get many women votes. 1t is not ex
planned just why Mr.. McAdoo appeals
to the women voters Of the West, but it
is generally conceded that he does. Per
haps the story of one distinguished Re
publican editor here illustrates the
point. He said: 81 am progressive. |
don't like the Harding nomination, but
was a delegate to the Republican
| National Convention. i feel as if |
am obligated. / shall vote for Harding,
but my wife is born rebel. She is,
moreover. under no obligations. If Mr..
McAdoo is nominated, she will vote for
him, even though she has always been
a Republican"

THE INEVITABLE McADOo

CLEARI.Y the lightning at San Fran
~ cisco is feeling around for Mr.. Nc
Adoo. At this writing the President s
son in law appears destined to inherit
the assorted woes and honors of a
Democratic nomination for the prcsi-
dency. II he is chosen It will mean
that the party has foutcd Bryan at
last and that it has found gumption
enough to ignore Cox. Palmer, Murphy,
Reed and all the other provincials who
went to the convention with hobbies
rather than with the sort of knowledge
which can come only with a national
view and national experience.
With Cox or Meredith ms n running
mate McAdoo could give Mr.. Harding a
pretty good fight. He has been good
to labor. Railway men were never so
we'll off as they were when he con-
trolled the roads, and 1t isn't too much
to suppose that the unions generally
would be asked by their leaders to fol-
low the lead Of the rail brotherhoods in
supporting him. Cox as a vice presi-
Dental candidate could lure the wet
voters. But Meredith. now secretary OF
agriculture. may be drafted to show the
farmers Of the country that they can
have a friend in Washington. Mere
dith is of and for the people who till
the soil. McAdoo's 5 reputation for busi-
ness acumen would give solidity and
prestige to the Democratic national
ticket. But all is fair in political cam
paigns and the delegates at San Fran :
cisco cannot nominate the one likely
man in their camp without knowing
that the country would soon ring with
cries of derision aimed at the Crown
Prince of wisconsin.
The President himself knows this and
it is safe to assume that he has opposed
McAdoo from the first. But between
McAdoo and the Bryans, Palmers
Reeds and Murphys Democrats have
only one choice IL they wish to provide
even the imitation of real campaign

have no party habits, they have none
of the interests and obligations which
belonging to a party builds up. 1t Is
not easy to depart from the custom of a
lifetime or grieve friends and associates
by breaking with your party. But
women. at least for while. have no
such difficulties to contend with, and
unless the parties take them into their
activities more fully than they have
done this year, the parties will provide
for their own destruction. Instead of
having mere fringe of independents to
deal with, the parties will have half
the voters without partisan ties.
And the Republican editor here who
was also delegate to the Chicago con =
vention tells story which indicates the
progressive attitude toward Harding
which the Republican candidate will
have to meet. "When it came to next
to the last ballot at Chicago" he says,
the Kansas delegates wanted to vote
solidly for Harding and raise their ban
ner, so they asked me to be so good
as to vote for him just that once and l
said l would, provided might vote for
some one else later. l said / would
get on the bandwagon il I might get on
the hearse in the next ballot. So I
voted for Harding on that ballot and
voted for Hoover on the final ballot"

An amusing story is going around
here about the difficulties of one of the

Spanish novelist, who was covering
the Republican convention for some
syndicate of newspapers. Senor Ibane2
does not speak or understand English.
He does not know anything about
American politics. Therefore his views
upon it would scarcely interest the
American public. To provide against
these deficiencies, he was provided with
