may bo be considered beaten now It is i too bad that the th-o Democratic party who have stood b by the tho principles which e eventually brought ht about the elimination of or liquor from tho the

O of f their candidates for tho tiro nomination have o as yet ct tried to stand on oa such a platform It was tho the Democratic party part who put over womans woman's suffrage and al although although al al- though there are a I number of oC Democratic Democratic Demo Demo- cratic states which have o not ratified this bill the tho real reason behind their rc refusal to ratify Is the race raco question and not the question of ot enfranchisement enfranchise enfranchise- ment of oC women omon Militarism is another great reat question which is facing the tho country countr today and If Ir we
