A high wind was responsible for
the spread of the fire. Firemen and

WASHINGTON, May 15:-One of
the candidates for the presidential
this week. made an observation con-
cerning the women voters of the
country which attracted attention
This candidate had been engaged for
the past three months addressing
audiences in all parts of the country,
forwarding his political enterprises,
in anticipation of the primaries as
they approached in the several states
Ee had been face TO face with as
semblages of votes of all classes and
conditions and had been in touch and
conference with leaders. near leaders
and mere workers. Consequently,
his utterance was weighted with un-
Outstanding and with knowledge of
the facts.
He said that the women voters of
the land appeared to be taking more
interest than the men in the political
campaign now under way. 1t was
suggested to him that possibly this
might be explained by the novelty of
the thing to the women; a new and
novel element in their life. this lately
achieved grant of suffrage. effective
already in many states and soon to
be nationwide. when the constitu-
tional amendment is ratified.
His reply negatived the suggestion.
He thought that'it was a case of the
women taking more interest in the
game" In short. that the women
are more alive, as a class. to the
value of the right to vote and the
Importance of the exercise of that
right at this time. than the men.
While that was an indictment, in n
way. of the Indifference of the male
voters, 1t bore out the claims of the
advocates of woman suffrage which
have been made for the feminines
ever since the movement for univer-
sal woman suffrage got under way.
That the women of the land are
ION their toes with eagerness and
expectancy in the exercise of their
new rights has been appreciated by
the national party leaders for months
and every effort has been exerted by
the rival managers to sway this new
vote their respective ways.
When the women foresaw the day
of coming into their own" they
method OF applying their privilege of
suffrage. Some of their influential
leaders urged the formation of a
separate woman's party, segregating
the women from the men, the new
organization to go in a body for can
didates and party's measuring to
their demands on public questions.
The contest was long and spirited
over this proposition. and even now
can not be said to be abandoned, but
1t is not likely to prevail.
The women were exhorted to di-
vide along political lines and not as
sex. 1T was pointed out that this

In Presidential Contest

longing to political party, with def
mite and specific principles of gov
ernment and legislation, must be
elected to office, charged with the
duty of carrying out the wishes of
the voters subscribing TO those prin-
ciples.
SO the women were advised to line
up with the old parties, exercising
their own free will and choice in the
selection, but to pick one and stick
to it. If they should prove sufficient
in numbers and effective and aggres-
sive in action to dominate the party
they affiliated with, all right. At any
rate they could at least have poten
tial voice in swaying the councils of
the party with which they aligned
and could put into Office men and
women pledged to carry out the
things they advocated.
Following this general eXhortation
the national leaders, of course,
branched off into argument to prove
that the Democratic or the Republi
can party, as the case might be, was
the real and only party to which
they should belong. each seeking to
gain as many recruits as possible,
but at any rate they should join some
party.
Each national committee has tried
to outvie its rival in extending the
glad hand of welcome TO the women.
The Republicans have admitted them
to membership on all important sub
committees of the national commit
tee. The Democrats have an auxil-
larry national committee composed
entirely of women, to cooperate with
them.
There will be women delegates in
both national conventions, regularly
elected by primaries or state conven-
tions and there will be scores of
women alternatcs. Women will un-
questionably be appointed on the
great committees of the national
conventions OF the two parties and
will have vote on the contests of
delegates. on the framing of the plat
form in committee and will be heard
on the floor of the convention when
vital topics are being debated.
Woman's position in the two ma
tional conventions will be different
this year than ever Before in the his@I
tory of the country. They will not
be present by compliment. or in a
merely honorary or perfunctory ca
pacity, but will be there by their own
right and title as American voters,
representing a great and potential
body of voters who believe as they
do; who have clear and fixed convic-
tions on public questions and more
over will have the opportunity in
November to voice. them at tho polls
just as effectively as any man.
