Homes are In danger end the women of this country need to rise up and let their voices be heard la no uncertain tones. The Republican Party has always stood for protection of the industries and business interests of our country and I believe that this is ths psychological moment for the great body or American women to take their stand as the National Womens Party, working side by side with husbands, brothers and sons and taking over particularly as its chief business tho guarding and protect ftig of ths homss and children of the Nation.

The Democratic leaders program has regularly included afternoon political conferences, which he termed his avocation. Since 1837, when he came to Chicago from Springfield, where he was a. clerk, and especially since 1920, when he succeeded Roger Sullivan as Democratic leader In Illinois, Mr Brennan haa been known as the man behind te scenes, and only once has he been In 1929 his leg operation was per- Concentration upon the problem of taxation and emphasis upon what sbe considers the crying evils of tax exemption in this State are the greatest contributions which Mrs Edith Hamilton MacFadden of Cambridge feels she can make to the welfare of Massachusetts in offering herself as a candidate for Governor the first woman to take out papers for nomination to that office In the Bay State.

There have been women Governors of Western States, of course, remarked Mrs McFadden, although I cannot say that I think Ma Ferguson, as Governor of Texas, was any special credit to our sex In such an offlea. The fact that I have not entered politics before has been due to the peculiarly difficult circumstances of my life. Put Children Through College Mrs MacFadden, a slender, dignified woman, with white hair, went on to explain that she was left a widow In 1909, with a house in Danvers and an annual income of $900 a year on which to support herself and four children, the two youngest mere babies.
