WOOD PLEASES
LOCAL WOMEN
Kenosha Women Won to
General Woods Stand
ard by Address.
SHOW GREAT INTEREST

Awaiting themselves of their first
opportunity to judge of a person whom
they may be asked to support for the
presidency of the United States, many
Kenosha women attended on Tuesday
evening the address given by Major
General Leonard Wood in the main
auditorium of the Congregational
Church. Following the address a can
vass of some of the women attending
the meeting showed that the general
had won to his standard large per
cent Of the women voters who heard
him and who represent all classes of
the women of Kenosha, who in Novem-
Der will exercise for the first time the
recently gained right of the franchise.
Many Of the women followed General
Wood and his company to the Elks
Club and heard him make the brief
address to the Kenosha cavalry troop
in the Pompeiian room there.
Shows Interest in Politics.
The enthusiasm shown by the wom-
en- left no doubt regarding the fact
that Kenosha women will take an in
telligent interest in the first campaign
in which they will be privileged to
have part. The women interviewed
showed as keen an interest in the var
ious subjects discussed by General
Wood as did many of the men who
heard the distinguished speaker.
There was universal praise among
the women for the stand taken by the
general on the question of military
training and the military policy which
this nation should adopt. The plan
outlined a small but efficient army, a
strong navy and all backed by the
largest possible number of men ready
and prepared to serve their country,
was cited by many of them as one
which in the future promised to pre-
vent the recurrence of war-a plan
which is sure to gain the support of
all women voters throughout the ma
ton.
Not Vote in Primaries.
There was keen regret expressed by
a number Of the Kenosha women that
the right of franchise had not been
extended to them to allow them to vote
for the delegates to the national con-
ventions of the great political parties
in order that they might help choose
the candidates for the office. The at
torney-general of Wisconsin has held
that while women may vote for the
presidential electors they will not be
allowed to vote for delegates to the
conventions and therefore Kenosha
women who heard and were pleased
with the address of General Wood on
Tuesday will not be privileged to vote
for him unless he is chosen as the can
didate of the Republican party at the
Chicago convention.

She kept moaning, oh. Morgan,

the best I could and with difficulty
explained to us that her companion
had been murdered and that she had
been attacked.
I'VE drove the few hundred yards
to MoOre's car. Iarked beside the
Alexandria pike and one of my COM

dead. We then drove rapidly to

from Miss Clark the name of the
