WHY SHE IS A REPUBLICAN

CHAMPION OF THE 12,000,000 WOMEN WORKERS GIVES REASON FOR CHOICE. The champion of the 12,000,000 women workers of the United States, and idolized by them all, Mrs. Raymond Robins’ words are worth listening to, always. And it was to find why she has aligned herself so actively with the Republican party that the question was put to her: “Why are you a .republican?” "The largest number of progressively minded men and women are in the Republican party,” answered Mrs. Robins, instantly. “They stand for justice, for forward-looking principles, for high ideals. The southern states, (jthe stronghold of the Democratic party), represents the backward group of our country in tb' issues in which I am especially .i----terested—-the enfranchisement' of women, the protection of childhood in our nation, the standardizing of industry for the b'est development of men and women workers, and public school education. Where there is republicanism there are more liberal laws, better education, higher ideals. That is why I am a r^jtiblican.”
