limit. In Ohio 100000 was raised
in the twinkIing of an eye. They
have sub-divided America into sew
en- districts and influent al men
representing selfish and greedy in
terests are passing the hat. They
are trying to buy a governmental

compared with what the contr,bu-
tors expect to get back"

voice in saying when war shall or
shall not be"

Their mother instinct is going
to stay the hand of war and that Is
sufficient to justify the cause of
woman suffrage"

who died in France" and also, he
said, involves the purse, the
home, the happiness and the self
respect of every man, woman and

is revealed to have bought the
pi esidency."
