moment moment moment mo mo- ment she referred to the wonderful courtesy courtes and anel the gentlemanly bearing of ot the president of the United States She spoke feelingly of ot how he courteously courteously courteously cour cour- heard them through and then I conf confessed the honest st truth that while I his heart was with them he was wag I I powerless to io force the issue at that time She spoke feelingly as to the 1 I different platforms The Democratic platform and the Republican platform I 1 of woman woman suffrage and suffrage and so that the II i women ma may mayy understand before we go 3 j further I am going to take the liberty lIbert I of stating that plank in the platform i of ot both parties 1 Platforms Compared The plank of the Democratic platform platform plat plat- form fonn referring to suffrage Is as follows follows follows fol fol- fol- fol I lows We recommend the extension of ot the franchise to the women of ot the country by the states upon the same terms as to the men The plank of th the Republican platform platform plat plat- form torm referring to suffrage Is as follows follows follows fol fol- fol- fol lows The Republican party part reaffirming its faith in gOV government of ot the people by the people for the people as a measure of justice to one-half one the adult ot the country favors the extension of ot the suffrage to women but recognized the right tJ of en each h state to settle this question for itself i In this connection a comparison of ot the Ideas of ot the two presidential candidates candidates candidates candi candi- dates might not be amiss air l D Hughes gave as his reason for forI I repudiating his platform that he was wasI I tired of the struggle between the sexes and realized the grave danger to the country If It the Influence of ot the radical feminist of the Congressional union type should be impressed upon the women of the country thereby endangering endangering endangering gering his elevation to the presidency his vision was not bread enough to see seG the true suffragist asking only the privilege that she she- might share the burdens burdens bur hur- dens and responsibilities of ot civic as aswell aswell aswell well as life lite with her mate To President Wilson h has s come the clearer vision and I Imay ma may be he pardoned If It at this point I quote from th the gr great at suffrage o sP speech dell by that brain brainy level le headed woman Carrie Chapman Catt at the Chicago biennial of ot 1914 I I I Carrie Catt Quoted In speaking of the growth of ot th the woman movement all over the world she referred to the struggle of the women of ot the Orient against the prejudices and superstition of ot th their lr people and In the secrecy of their own homes of ot that mysterious Orient the vision of womans woman's emancipation is ever present an how they ar are waiting waltin for forthe forthe forthe the women of the West to rise to the true realization of ot their own vision and they will rise and follow that common common common com com- mon vision Islon leading lading their great races onward It is the same vision that has lIas come to the women of ot the entire world As Kipling said The Ease is East and the West is West Vest an and never the twain shall meet but it Is not true of the womans woman's movement The woman of the East and West Vest of ot all classes of all the religions have I seen that same vision and at this point true American women see President Wilson standing between those noble I exemplars of the suffrage e cause caus Car- Car 1 i dent of the

a perfect statement made in ih the clearest manner possible There Thre is hi not nol a Il su superfluous su- su u- u word In the said sate 1 statement The oratory the fl figures ures of ot speech and the complexity of ot the statement in the Republican plank and the Republican platform to use the homel ey it it simply cha chases e the dog three times around the barn before it goes through At the timE of ot the wonderful Republican Republican Republican I lican convention in Chica Chicago o when It was decided that Charles Evans Eans Hughes then a justice of the supreme court of ot the United States should hould be bethe bethe the standard bearer for the Republican party 1st it t was not even ven whispered that suffrage was to be made an issue of this campaign It was not even called to the attention of ot Hughes until the following day when George Gorge Sutherland Sutherland Sutherland Suther Suther- land of ot Utah realizing the power of ot the women of ot the West wired Hughes of the Importance of ot the said stand which he was about to take It was then that Hughes repudiated that plank in the Republican platform which we have just referred to Hughes Assumes Much e Hughes being of ot a a. judicial mind with his years ears of experience first as a school teacher then as a corporation lawyer then as the governor of ot New NewYork NewYork NewYork York then as a justice of ot the supreme court of ot the United States of ot America a man with judicial mind a man who believes in investigation who believes In consistent and conservative consel action stated that it would be bc his pleasure to grant to the struggling women of the East and the South that vote vot which I they had been so long suffering for forand and even though his platform states that it must recognize the right of ot the state in this matter he goes beyond and says hat he will grant suffrage A man of the Intellectuality of ot Charles Evans Hughes must know that when he made these statements he but
