,"I am delighted to be present at
the first political meeting where wo
men are present and I say with
knowledge of present conditions that
in the next election there will be
14,947,333 women voting for presi
dent of the U. S. I propose to look
after them. Those women are natur
ally Republican .because they are
right in their want for a voice in the
government. There is no doubt about
the capacity of the women the war
has shown us without a doubt what
the woman is capable of. There is
not a family in the nation where wo
men have not earned rights during
the war. Honor to vomer, who guard
the earth with the roses of Heaven!
"The Republican party is the party
of th- future or there is no need for I
any party. We axe entitled to have
a forward looking standing for labor
and the farmer, both of which shall
have a voice in the nation. Those
who go about the country seeking
what they can destroy are the I. W.
W. and they should be dealt with ac
cordingly. "Let us not forget as we move
ahead we may forg-it that we have 'a
republic to preserve that we are a
representative government and not a
Bolshevik syncopation. We will
watch the ancient landmarks that no
harm may come to the nation and
we will keep our eye3 up to Him
from whoso hands centuries fall like
grains of sand.
