politician reading about Oles also read abo,,t
MS famous hot bread and, the chances are
bought some. But Oes appealed to the wo,o-
en- more than he did to the men
And here there entered another factor :.
Oless victory. His wife moved jnto the ho4of
too with her two pretty little daugh4ors 49,,
went headlong into the campaign with bor
husband. Meetings for women only were o~
ganIzed, with men rigidly excluded and vr.

business and home life, of how he had e,,,.

years old, Of what a wonderful husband and
father he was.
Meanwhile Oles himself was appealing In
the men. Great crowds turned out to he en-

never appeared till the crowd was there. and
then he would rush upon the stage with arms

him. 1t was the women to whom Oles haa

IN some wards more women registered than

those wards showed which way they lad voted.
