lac approaching Presidential election m the United States will be an important one for the women of the country. In six of the States women have votes, and the Democratic party and the new I regressive (Roosevelt) party are keen to secure their support. The Democratic party has no .official .woman suffrage plank m its platform, but it is sending Mrs Borden Harriman, a prominent political campaigner, to win over the women with promises of fiscal reform reduced prices on food, and a workmen's compensation Act. The Progressive party is making woman suffrage one of its main issues, and the fact that Miss Jane Adams, noted as a political reformer, has given her support to the party will influence the women voters of the country.
