If an ideal candidate can bc improved
On. She said he would be . man who was
a man man man among men, and

the delegate behind mo groancd ard said
My Cod, a woman from Iowa laughed
And Mrs Brown said another good
thing. continued the Chicago delegate
She said that IN choosing a candidate
We should take INTO consideration the kind
az wife he had and whether she was the
sort that was fitted to be the first lady OF
the land. Humph shifted = little woman
rom the south. It's going to make the
path Of the politician pretty thornv Il
hc has to marry to please his consttu-
ents.
We'll. anyway" said the Missouri
delegate. Eve women have disproved one
ancient theory, and that Is we area
swept off our feet by man 5 looks.
You remember they used To say that
women would always vote for the hand
soonest man, no matter what his politics
We have Attorney General Palmer, who
is 80 much like movie hero in appearance
that they have made his photograph into
fans for the ladies' But | have seen
hardly a woman who's going to vote for
him. I'm going to take my Palmer PIC
ture home and stand it on the mantel-
piece for an ornament, but I'm going TO
vote for McAdoo, who wouldnt even get
honorable mention at a beauty show.
In hustled a little white haired lady who
had Just made a corklng good speech
seconding a nomination.
Were YOU frightened asked one,
"No." she replied, Il thought | should be,
but found out that in making q nomina
ton speech there Is a never failing rule,
Just as there is for making sponge cake.
All YOU have to do is take a favorite, lard
him well with adulation and throw IN a
handful of references to Thomas jefferson
and the foundation OF the party. Spice
him up with the League of Nations, bake
In forty minutes IN q slow oven, and serve
garnished with roasted Republican party,
and you have dish over which the dele
gates viii smack their mouths.
Il wonder what influence we women are
really going to have in politics, and what
we can do for our beloved country,
said a woman thoughtfully
Il heard Charles Edward Russell make
a beautiful speech about women in politics
hast night, replied another woman.
"Ile said that women would best serve
their country if they held aloof from both
parties to this extent, that their vote
would be fluid and given TO the man or the
measure, no matter which party it was
fathered by, that was cleanest, purest,
and meant most for the good of humanity.
MIR Russell said 1t was woman who must
regenerate politics, and save the world,
and that In the women S platform that
was posted up on the walls of the women s
headquarters was more real constructive
legislation than both the Democratic
and Republican parties had enacted in
twenty years.
God help us to use our new power
wisely" said a gray haired old lady
Amen" said the women in unison.
