heard the men say for, 10, these
many years, IL we elect them TO this
office and that office they will do
all in their power to have the law
enforced. and we all know by past
records what they will do, and how
can we expect to have the law en-
forced and be protected against the
evils that are going on over our
towns and county IL we elect men
and women who participate in and
uphold these evils? Well, there are
few people who will say that is
mans place. There are lot Of US
good women who are doing what the
men ought to do. But IL the wo-
men will 20 out in the field. take
hold Of the pillow handle, or hoe

bands to eat, that is the place. and
let the men hive offices, the easy
