VOTERS IN I0&>
Much Talk Right Now What viii
Happen Politically in Iowa II
Women Vote in June.
NO DOUBT THAT
AMENDMENT WILL PASS
Not Believed That Great Majority OF
the Women Will Align With
Either Party Before Pri-
maries.

What will happen, politically, Il
Iowa women are given the right tc
vote in the June primaries?
Political sharps declare there !:
but little doubt that the national
suffrage amendment will become
operative by April at the latest
Thirty-four of the thirty-six states
necessary have ratified the national
amendment to date, with republican
legislatures in three states pledged
TO ratify at special sessions when cal
led.
Iowa women coming into the state
primaries will make political proph-
cts sit up and burn the midnight oil
There are already some candidates
seeking state honors, who the wom-
en- may see fit to punish if they en-
ter the June primaries. They are
candidates who either opposed wo-
man suffrage in the Iowa legislature,
or candidates who stood idly by and
refused to lend either weight or in
fiuence when Iowa women sought
state suffrage rights.
These same women, If the nation
al amendment is fully ratified be-
fore June, will be in line to become
delegates to the republican and
democratic state conventions. Once
there, they would have a hand "a
writing the party platform, upon
which candidates for state Office
have 10 take up position.
StatiSics show that there are
6oS.644 women in Iowa of voting
age OF these there are approximate.
ly 355,000 who were born in the
United States and whose parents
We're natives of the United States.
How active this number of native
born and newly made suffragists may
he at the primaries is but specula-
tion.
Figures show that men are lax and
do not vote as a whole. In 1915 the
census figures show that there were
6S4 $40 voters in Iowa or this num-
ber but, 305,056 voted in the 1916
June primaries for all candidates for
governor. In the fall of 1916 there
were but 416,944 votes cast for
presidential candidates in Iowa, al
though the figures of 1915 show that
6S4 $40 electors resided in the state
Apparently 267,996 male voters did
not vote at the 1916 presidential ele-
ction, and S79,SS1, or over one-half
the voters of the state. remained
from the polls in the 1915 June pri-
maries.
Will the women follow the same
course, or will they show better
voting average than the men II en-
franchised in time to vote in the
June primaries this year?
1t is not believed that great ma
jority of the woman will align them
selves with either party before the
primaries, However. If but SO per
cent of the women who may become
entitled to vote in the June primar-
les do participate. some changes may
take place at both party conventions,

they'd be drowned if they did. SO
they fingered in a swarm above the
water. They hovered there in the ar
and waited And when, after a moment
Cuffy's head came up out of the pool
they swooped down and began to sting
him again.
Cuffy promptly dueked his head
And he swan under water to the fnr-
ther side of the pool and came up once
more. To his surprise the bees were
right there waiting for him. And he
ducked under again. and swan to the
opposite side. near the big boulder
And once more, when he came up TO
breathe, he found the buzzing bees ali
ready to pounce upon his nose,
So poor Cuffy, had to keep pulling
his head down into the pool. He would
keep it there just as long as he could
hold his breath; and then he would
simply have to stick his nose out Of the
water in order to draw some fresh air
into his lungs
1t was not long before Cuffy became
very tired from so much swimming.
So he found a shallow place where he
could stand on the bottom of the brook
with just enough water to cover him,
and where he could poke his nose out
whenever he had to. And just as often
as his little black noce came up above
the surface of the pool the bees lighted
on it and stung Cuffy again.
All the rest of the afternoon poor
.Cuffy had to stay there in the water
For the bees did not leave him until
sundown. And then, when the last had
gone, Cuffy crawled out of the brook
and started toward home His little
round body and his study little legs
were not warm now, as they had been
when he sat down beneath the tree to
get cool. For the mountain brook was
lice-coldi and Cuffy felt quite numb
from standing in it so long But cold
as he was, his face felt like fire. And
for some reason, which Cuffy couldn't
understand, he could hardly see to pick
his way through the shadows Of the
forest.

OYSTER, OLD STAND BY

HONORABLE CUSTER
Tnterchurch World Movement VIII
Put Church on Business Basis
Where Won't Need to Beg.

The little oyster, once such an es-
sential money making factor in church
circles, is henceforth to be taboo. 1t
Society as n thing to be stunned. Its
help to pay the preachers salary.o 10
plug the hole in the church roof or to
send a missionary to India or Africa
will no longer be needed. The Inter
church World Movement is to put the
Christian Church on business mans
budget basis.
OF course the oyster will get an hon
orable discharge from the service. for
it did not desert but was the standby
of the Ladies' Aid Society until the
women found better way of finane-
ing their obligations for promoting
church work That better way is now
being studied in practically all the
women's church societies in the United
States, according TO Miss Laura ].
Wright, superintendent of the wom-
ans division of the Stewardship De
partlnent of the Interchurch World
Movement.
"There will no longer be any need for
the women of our churches to resort
to all sorts of services for raising
money for church purposes when they
have learned of the better way which
the Stewardship Plan provides said
Miss Wright. ''rhe acknowledgement
of the principle that God is the owner
of all things and that men and women
are the stewards makes church financ-
ing easy Wherever the Stewardship
Plan is put into operation, oyster sup
pers, baxaars, rummage sales and the
like in churches become thing Of the
past. They are not needed We owe
God all that is given to us and we
must acknowledge this'principle in or
der to get the most out of our re-
ligion."
