gate Talks Sadly of Events
at Hartford
(By a Staff Writer)

Hartford, Sept. 10.-"Men are done
in politics. said an old campaigner
in the lobby of the Garde at Hart
ford yesterday. He had been observ-
ing the women who were circulating
among the delegates, butting into
conversations between groups of men,
breaking up conferences and doing
convention.
"Why if a man butted in like
their doing he would be told some
thing that would cause a fight or
would be told to visit the place where
the weather is reported to be hot
and oppressive
"a man comes to one of these con-
ventions to meet old acquaintances,
talk over past political battles and
in due time we get around to present
conditions, policies and candidates
But the women! They come up;
they but in; they try to tell US what
put up with this at home but when a
man comes to a convention to get
away from the women folks for a
few days he runs into a different
bunch of them who try to convince
him that he don't know anything
about anything.
"Why in five years there won't be
a man with any self respect who will
| accept an appointment as a delegate
| to a convention.
| Eyes, sir, mans days in politics i:
! over. They will make us a, nation o.
| effemina tes.

with their tight coats split up the
