also against the peoples primary. They
will admit that every unsavory -prac-
ticaf politician is also against the peo-
pies primary. Tney will admit that all
the corrupt forces in American life that
formerly used these men to control con-
ventiOns, Legislatures and Congresses,
are also against the peoples primary.
Those who persist in their efforts to
destroy the primary assert that we who
defend it are actuated by personal am
bitiOn-an ancient trick Of the thwarted
legislative manipulation. You women
know how false that charge is as con-
Germs yourselves; it is equally false as
concerns us who are fighting by your
side. Personally, I am willing at any
time, publicly, to pledge myself to re-
frain from public service forever, II that
pledge shall become necessary to save
the primary-and I am sure that every
person who, on principle, is waging this
battle for human rights, feels the same
way. This is a fair and a sincere offer
it is now up to the little clique which
has decreed the death Of the primary and,
in desperation, has put out these mean
and mendacious insinuations-it is now

HEELS LOWER,
BROWS HIGHER
Wellesley Freshmen Girls
Average Only 1.01 Inch.

WELLESLEY, Mass, Jan. 2S.-"The
higher the education the higher the
heels
who said this7 It isn't true at Wei
lesley College, and the girls have gone
to no little pains to prove 1t. The aver
age height OF the heels worn by $40
freshmen is 1.01 inch, which is even
lower than the maximum advised by the
college departmental hygiene.
Miss Margaret W. Haddock Of Cornell,
wis, president Of the Student Govern
ment Association, worked fast when she
heard the statement quoted above. Tor
If there is anything the Wellesley girl
prides herself on 1t is the fact that she
has a good share of common sense as
well as an eye for the styles. So. Miss
Haddock went to her fellow seniors who
rule the freshmen living in the village
houses because of the dormitory shortage
on the campus. The order went out to
apply the tape measure to every fresh
man heel. So the heels were rounded up,
376 pairs of them, in ten of the village
houses.
In none OF the houses did the average
exceed an inch and a quarter. At one
the average went as low as rs inch.
The student point of view, while agree
ing with the scientific reasons given by
the department of hygiene, is a little diff
ferent. Wellesley has a big campus. The

WARNS WOMEN
CIVIL RIGHTS
IN JEOPARDY
Albert J. Beveridge Addresses
Wayne County Audience
on Primaries.
IS FOR DIRECT METHOD
Special to The Times

Special to The Times.
RICHMOND, Ind, Jan. 2S.-Sounding
the warning that the women of Indiana,
as well as the women of the Nation, are
face to face with a fight to save from
destruction the civil rights they now en-
Joy" Albert J. Beveridge Of IndianapO-
lis, former Republican Senator from In
diana, addressed a meeting Of Republican
women of Wayne County here this after
noon.
THE proposed abolition of the direct
nominating primary and restoration Of
the abandoned indirect nominating con-
ventiOn means that women, as a class,
shall have no voice in naming the can
didates Of their party, but that. instead,
the expert practical politicians who
manipulate conventions will choose PARTY
candidates" Mr.. Beveridge said.
so far as women are concerned, the
whole question comes down to this: Do
they want to help name their party can
didates-a right which is now theirs and
which, for the first time in Indiana. they
can exercise at the next primary; or do
they prefer to surrender that right and
let their party candidates be named by
manipulated conventions? That is all
there is to it. practically speaking, from
the woman's point of view.
Indiana women have won their fight
now; your task from now on it to safe
guard your victory.
WARNS AGAINST
LETTING Up.
LET the voters Of all parties IN In
diana, and especially the women, get 1t
firmly and clearly in their minds that,
sn this matter of the primary, they are
HOt safe until the Legislature adJourns
sine die. So carefully planned a move
ment as this, nationwide in extent,
-EvrT 7r,rTf n n
forces, will not be overcome quickly or
easily.
That is made plain by the fact that
this assault on the peoples primary is
made at all. That assault is one Of the
most audacious events in political his
tory. Why is it made? Who asked for
It? The people? No! Everybody knows
that the overwhelming majority OF the
voters Of all parties want to keep the
peoples primaries and oppose the poll
ticians' Conventional the politicians
deny this, let the question be referred TO
the people at the ballot box; the answer
would be at least ten to one for the pri-
mary and against the convention
Undoubtedly there are good men,
honorable and able men, who prefer the
convention TO the primary. l respect the
opinion and esteem the motive Of such
men; I simply do not agree with them.
The truth is that these excellent gentle
men do not believe that the people are
capable of choosing their own represent
atives to run their own government-ln
private conversation they frankly say so.
WHAT THE GOOD
MEN WILL ADMIT.
"But these good men of spotless repute
viii admit that they are accompanied
by less creditabIe characters in their 'ap-
position to the direct, open and honest
nominating primary. They will admit
