feet. Incidentally Miss Paul herself
served seven terms In Jail.
| In 1869 were formed two national
rganizations: National Woman, Suf-
frage association, with Mrs. Stanton
and Miss Anthony leaders and head
quarters in New York; American
Woman Suffrage association, with
Mary A. Livermore, Julia Waih Howe
and Lucy Stone leaders arh head
| quarters In Boston.
The line of division between them
was this: The former wished to
concentrate on the passage of a con-
stitutional amendment; the latter
was in favor of obtaining the suf-
frage through amendments to state
constitutions. In 1890 the two organ
of National American Woman Suf-
fage Association, and work was
pushed along both lines of endeavor.
Mrs. Stanton was president until
1892. Miss Anthony served until
1900, resigning at the age of eighty.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait was its
head, 190O-19O4 Dr. Anna Howard
Shaw, recently deceased and possibly
best loved of all the leaders-a wom-
an of transcendent gifts and elo-
quence-was president until 1915.
Mrs. Gait was then again chosen.
Mrs. Frank Leslie left large legacy
to Mrs. Gait to be used In the work.
The National association made ar
rangements at the ST. Louis corven-
tfon of 1919 to dissolve its organiza-
tion and become the League of Wom-
en- Voters. These arrangements be-
came effective at the Chicago conven-
tion in February last. So the League
of Women Voters now holds sway
over something like 27,OO0OOO po-
tential American women voters.
Mrs. Gait, who is also the head of the
international Woman Suffrage alli-
ance, which she founded in 1904, is
honorary chairman; Mrs. Maud Wood
Park is chairman; Mrs. Richard Ed
wards of Indiana, treasurer; Mrs.
Solon Jacobs of Alabama, secretary,
and there is board of regional d.
rectors.

Mr.. Gillette injected an internation-
al issue when he raised the question Of
the use of the waters of the Colorado
river by Mexico. Director Arthur Pow

using from 100000 to 10000 acre feet
of water without authorization or with

that the situation demanded that exact

undoubted right to its proportion of the

States should be compensated.
D. E. Carpenter of Greeley headed

on resolutions by urging that this was
an international problem and that the
members of the conference would like

chinery If they undertook action on
what was strictly a governmental func-
tion."
Governor Bamberger of Utah made
a brief address and was followed by
George NJ. Bull, engineer for the Den
yer Water Commission, who delivered
an Illustrated address, making the first
actual presentation of the problems in
volved.
Mr.. Bull declared that the full devel-

TIE nErupMoAN CONVENTION.

Tho republican state committee has called q
convention to meet at Oklahoma City August
2s, for the purpose OF ratifying recent nomina-
tions and formulating campaign plans, This
convention should be literally attended by re-
pubioans quite regardless OF whether not
they are official delegates thereto.
And above everything else. republicans who
have not prominently identified themselves with
the party In tho past should make It a point to
attend for two purposes; First, to loan their
influence and moral support to great cause
the redemption OF oklahoma from system Of
government that has become stencil in the very
nostrils OF dccency; n sort OF first step towards
that general accounting to the public which has
never been made and which will never be made
10 long as the bourbon machine which finds its
greatest pleasure in playing to the corporate in
terests. its greatest duty In pardoning notorious
criminals remains in power. Second, 10 be-
come better acquainted with their fellows that
an esprit de corps may be established which
will arouse tho enthusiasm necessary TO invite
recruits,
It ia not certain that the republican ticket
will sweep Oklahoma this fall but It is certainly
a most pleasing and promising prospect, There
is Just a fighting chance to accomplish this very
thing And fighting chance is all that red
blooded men and women should desire when
they champion cause that is virile with pa
triotie appeal,
The World hopes that the attendance at the
republican state convention viii be the largest
and most representative ever known, and that
there win be present thousands OF new faces.

MISREPRESENTATION IN INTERVIEWS.

There Is no more commcndablo form OF nsws
than the personal interview. II Is dlgnlfied, us
ually important and always of interest But
when the interviewer resorts to miarepr resen ta-
tion OF the interviewed one In order TO color the
sentiments expressed so that they will ut tho
editorial policy OF the Journal, tho personal in
terview becomes the most despicabie vehicles
imaginable for tho transmission OF news and
views
Such a habit has become notorious in the
office OF an afternoon Tulsa newspaper. So
much so that many Tulsans OF repute refuse to
express their views to that paper on dny subject
The most recent exhibition OF this despicable
practice made Judge T. d. Lyons the victim

The Allltcrntlve slogan.

II is Just barely possible that the democratic
party will not congratulate Chairman George
White upon his achievement In devisng the
slogan, Peace, Progress and Prosperity" A.
first glance 10 will appear that Chairman White
picked his words somewhat hastily, attaching
more Importance 10 the ALTERATION than to their
meaning. There Is no peace yet, hardly any
progreas, and doubtful prosperity, certainly
none OF tho democratic origin Perhaps the ma
tionnl chairman would have hit IL off better had
he proclaimed n contest with generous prizes and
Invited countrywide competition in framing the
democratic battle cry
The reference TO peace is particularly unfortu-
nate since II inevitably brings to mind the 1915
slogan, He kept us out OF war" AZ a rallying
cry 90 get into office II was singularly success
full but the voters are not likely to fall for an
other one like It. Their attitude Is shown by
the widespread disposition to paraphrase tho
famous cry Of 1915, making II "IIe kept US out
Of peace" thereby calling attention to the presi-
dents unbending attitude on the peace treaty and
his unwillinrncss to surrender the autocratic
powers conferred upon him for the purpose Of
prosecuting the war to a successful finish. His
action In vetolng the resolution repeating the
war measures hardly can be construed as indi-
eating desire to return to peace basis
Had Chairman White shown the slightest dis
position to accept advice. there are thousa n ds
OF persons who would have been glad to help
him find n slogan. Even by limiting the words
to those which begin with "p' 1t is possible to
find better slogan, While II is likely that Mr..
White will not care for the suggestion at this
late day It will do no harm to point out that
there is lot OF meaning in Promises, Per
quistes and Pie" or in Patches, Profiteering
and Pedantry." The only limit on this pleas
ing aastime is that set by the photographers.
If william Jennings Bryan had been CON
suited undoubtedly one Of the words would have
been prohibition" but that of course, was
ruled out whom Governor Cox nominated.
Prohibition, Penaco ana Perhaps would be
rather nifty a slogan.
The trouble with the battle cry promulgated
by Chairman White Is that his party cannot
make it's record fit In with H. Having whip
sawed the public on peace once, It will be par
donCd II II examines the progress and prosperity
par to see u we are getting anywhere.-seattle
