world standard of decency and service
and goodness IN a people than any OF
the others do.
My own baptism in political service
was many years ago. 1t had to do with
a frightened, ignorant, loving girl Irish
born, and an American boy-a sailor.
| The young man, he was 81, laughed in
| the faces of the women who thought he
should marry the girl, just because he
had promised in writing to do SO, and
because she was bearing his child.
The women consulted the law: there
was no law. They went to the State
capitol-an impressive group they must
| have been in their Merry Widow hats,
five-gored skirts and chatelaine bagsl-
and requested law. 1t was toward the
end of a session; no hope for action
until next term They interviewed Of
ficials and ascertained which one would
sponsor their law. They said, We'll
re-elect you," and they did, and when
his little boy was years DID, the sailor
was found and was obliged to marry,
and eventually to support, the mother.

NOW, there are things wrong with
your town and mine, little things
enough, but big enough when they
reach Washington and become Federal
law" or even international law" Laws,
innovations, advances, don't come from
big places, they are tried out in little
ones, and if they work there, we know
they'll work on a bigger scale.
If the women of one little American
town took this years political crisis
seriously. studied their own problem
conscientiously and voted intelligently,
and in body, they might change his

parent-teacher organizations, Of busi-
ness women's groups is hardly suspected
by themselves.
But, believe me, the Nations poll
ticians know it. Some of the greatest
of them have already said fatty that
the women'S vote is an important, If not
the most important, faction this year.
They are going to try to give us what
we want.
One thing I can tell them. Party
means less to women than to men. Our
political feathers, newly f1edged, will
keep us warm on either side of the
party fence; We had no party until a
few years ago; we don't, as a class, take
it overseriouSly.
CANDIDATE and platform We do take
seriously. To put into Office man
she knows to be dishonest, just to pro
tect the party" has never been a wom-
ans way Of voting.
We may. of course, be wrong in our
judgments or misinformed But most
women vote from personal conviction
as witness the surprising turnovers at
the polls four years ago. Both parties
we're amazed at the sublime independ-
ence with which the women voted for
the man in whom they believed
And the moral of that is that you and

fore election day comes and In the little
home elections and the big election put
into power men who are going to make
the world better, and not worse, for us
and our children. And we can only do
that by getting into politics now, while
there is yet time.

 Pinchot declared Linco n wouldn't get to first base" if he were a presidential candidate this year because of his devotion to the interests of the people.
 How many politicians now in power ever have had feeling politically, that did not spring from i the interests of rich contributors to campaign funds, from politics for profit?". Pinchot said. l The Illinois. State Historical Library in the State Centenial building and the Lincoln home stead were shrines today to the pill grims who thronged the city. And some visited Old Salem, on the Sangamon river near. here. where Lincoln in his early youth ran a store.
