 T need not tel you of my interest ln the consummatior If the womans sui frage I voted for i~ in the senate and a vote records senator's purpose quite as faithfully as anything he may do.
 Nothing would please me more than to have ratification made effective to give American womanhood full participation in the elections of next November.

 There is a point at which full execu- tive authority my approach a trespass on the rights of states, and I should not wan ito trespass if I bore the commission of authority and I realize full we'll that, so far. I am only a party nominee. In the latter capacity I would not wish my party to believe me inclined to trespaSs or to assume to wield a club. If any state executive should ask my opinion about extraordinary efforts to consum- mate suffrage I frankly will commend the thing you desire, but I cannot impose a demand. though I personally hope to see women's suffrage and women's full par ticpation established at an early date

 T can hardly believe that a candidate nominated to stand for a specific plat form could within two weeks after that platforms adoption declare himself un- able to do anything toward carrying fl out. We are deeply disappointed witt Senator Hardings position.

ANOTHER BARN AND
 STACK ARE BURNED

Fire, thought to be of incendiary ori- gin, early yesterday morning burned a hay stack and barn on the property of the Southwest Cotton company at Litchfield- The hay and the barn were completely destroyed and the loss is estimated at e50o0. Officers assigned to the case were unable to find any clues. The sheriffs office was not notified until , o'clock last night.
 The fire was discovered by the night watchman of the company about 6 o'clock yesterday morning. According to his report the blaze was first seen about feet from the ground on the side of the stack and spread rapidly in the hay. Employees of the company were unable. to put out the blaze be- fore it caught the barn.
 The fire is believed to have been started with phosphorus balls in the same manner as the fires which de- stroyed several thousand dollars worth of hay at Litchfield recently. Several balls of phosphorus were found at that time in stacks before they had chance to ignite the hay. The officers believe it is the work of an organized band.
