DENY LOVE IS FACTOR


NEW YORK, Oct, 21.-Aceording to DR..
Edward Hiram Reede of Washington. the
ballot is the barometer Of wifeIy affection.
and the woman who loves her husband.
- every good wife should, will vote as

of the modern wife.
Il she holds political views contrary
to his she consciously or subconsciously
1eels antagonism toward him.
The woman who loves her husband ro-
mantically has an Identification of inter-
ests with his.
"She is one with him in everything
she Is Democrat because he is a Demo-
crat. She may Great myth around her
reasons for being a Democrat. but sub
consciously she could be nothing else.
ITO her this man she loves is founain
of wisdom and she comedies the super
iority of his judgment in politics as in
everything else
This, of course, leads TO the ancient and
honorable question, what is love7"
which Is even harder to decide than why
are some candidates

"Of course, from the few things the
doctor says cannot fully judge what
he means" said DR.. Brill recently.
ut depends largely on what we mean
when he speak OF a woman who loves
her husband
'If he refers to the Romeo-Juliet type
Of intense, excessive, mad love. then he
is right.
@Phat sort of love causes two hearts to

with the other.
'sEach personality envelopes the other.
VOTING TODAY Is
UNESSENTIAL, HE SAYS.
"But it seems that the matter of vot-
ing today would be more or less extran-
eaus.
"There are many women in. this city,
active politically, who love their hus-
bands or think they love their hus-
bands, perhaps, and really do, insofar
as We know.
"Thsy vote differently, though.
Their love is not that type of the
very young and ardent lovers, who be-
ieng completely to each other.
"Therefore the doctors idea would not
apply here.
Z "But in all things we find exceptions.
DIR. Reede, understand, says that
If a girl has an ideal love for her father,
that is, regards him as her ideal Of mas
culinh perfection, or, on the other hand,
has q secret antagonism for him, either
quality is transferred at her marriage
to her husband, who thereafter Is either
the object Of her admiration or an
tspathy, just as her father was.
an that he is right
ct do not believe, though. that the
matter Of a wife casting her lot with
a party opposed by her husband would
mean that such a state of antagonism
existed or had been passed on from her

Indignant declarations from prominent
women voters have less scientific value
than DR.. Brllls statements, but come. so

sour life has been characterized by the
greatest congeniality.
DIR. Reede is wrong, l am sure"
From Mrs. Olive Scott Gabriel, law

leader comes further REPUTATION of DR..
Reede's theories.

questioned Mrs. Gabriel.
"Mr Gabriel has always been a Dem
ocrat, and have been on the other side.
"At any rate. we get on wonderfully to-
gether. We disagree in many things, but
I think the woman who votes always just
as her husband does is a voting, non
entity.
WOMEN ARE FULLY
ABLE TO CAST VOTE.
'Any woman who Is at all interested

80 women have Travelled alone up the
steep hill to get our vote,'' interposed
Mrs. Bres, "and 1 guess we Gan make

tory.
II don't agree with DR.. Reede at all.
Love for country has nothing to do
with love for husband.
lit is as differen as the love Of a
mother for child, compared with that
of woman for a man.
The woman who loves her country will
vote according to her best convictions.
"A husband Is a different matter.
The women that never have a thought
that isn't put into their heads by some
men are the kind that fill our divorce
courts
