NATION’S FATE DEPENDS UPON WOMEN VOTERS’ - ‘Well-Nigh Holy Duty* of Gentler Sex Told by Beveridge. DWELLS ON PRIMARY Special to The Times. LAGRANGE, Ind., May 6.—ls women value In the least their new-won civil 1 liberty It Is their sacred duty as well as tbelr high privilege to go to the primaries and help nominate party candidates, Albert J. Beveridge, former United States Senator from Indiana, declared In a spaech this afternoon at the annual convention of the Federation of Women’s Clubs of the Twelfth district here. “Os course, if the primary should be abolished, women would be practically excluded from all voice In the naming of party candidates," he said. “That la one of the main reasons that professional party ‘maangers’ are determined to overthrow the direct nominating primary; such men are resolved to do the nominating themselves, leaving to the average party voter only the perfunctory duty of confirming those nominations at the poll* on election day. It is also a principal reason that upright and able men who were and are strenuously aud sin- j cerely opposed to woman suffrage are also against the primary. Such persons honestly believe that the people are not j capable of choosing their public servants; i Indeed, such persons do not believe in i popular government. Both these classes ' are perfectly logical In wanting to brush women aaside as ’an active influence in public affairs. ATTEND PRIMARY PROMPTLY, RKGULAKLY. "If, then, women really care for the ballot, they must preserve from threat- j Cned destruction, the direct nominating primary; and they must attend the pri- 1 luary as promptly and regularly as they gn to the polls on election day. Then, when a party candidate is thus chosen by the majority of party voters at a free and fafr primary, it is the party duty of 1 party members to loyally support that provided, of course, that he Is an honest man and clean of heart. Proved Corruption and established evil character absolves the party voter, in any case, from voting for a candidate thus fundamentally defective. If, occasionally, a candidate succeeds at a primary whom many think unfitted, whose r.ult is itV Is it not largely the fault o those who constantly wail abont bad government, and yet will not even go to the polls to get good government? And shall we. Vcgnse_of such lethargy of 'good citizens’

turn our public affairs over to cliques of professional politicians and have government of, by and for organisations?' That is merely autocracy and often an ignorant and evil autocracy. Also, most candidates selected at primaries are excellent persons—only once In a while does the contrary reuu t; and, as a matter of sheer statistics, more acceptable candidates are"chosen at primaries than were produced by the old and essentially nonrepresentative convention system. Finally, I would rather have a poor candidate, if chosen by the people, than the same kind chosen by a ring. If we are to have popular representative government, let us be honest about it. FIGUT 3TTY OF ‘MACHINE* CANDIDATE. “The second essential to be strictly observed by women party voters. Is to refuse to support candidates named by , ‘rings ’or cliques, whenever such candidates are inherently ba<J men. “But If women who are party members, automatically vote for candidates of the opposite description solely because they are on the party ticket, then, of course, professional party manipulators wJI not take women into account In making party nominations and will name such candidates as they please. In that event. It is evident that votes for women will not change for the better either party management or the quality of the public service. After a little while, things will go on in the same, old sordid way that has caused students and champions of free institutions to sometimes despair of final success of democracy. “Thus it is that American women will henceforth largely determine the development of popular representative government. Their opportunity is great and noble —their duty vast and well-nigh holy. To doubt that they will make the most of that opportunity and fully discharge that duty, Is to deny the sagacity, character and righteous instinct of American women. It Is not extravagant to say that the destiny of the nation Is in their hands.” K. of P. to Consider Proposed New Branch j A. L. Frey, imperial secretary of the : Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khor- | assan, a side degree of the Knights ol | Pythias, will deliver an address at 7:30 j o’clock tonight at the Pythian building to the Marion County Knights of Pythias. The purpose of the meeting will be to decide whether a Knight of Khorassan organization will be formed in this county. Wins Suit Against * Transfer Company A verdict of $125 damages was awarded to J.

Luncheon was held at the Claypool for the State board of directors. WRITER DISCUSSES PARTY PLATFORMS. This afternoon constitutional amendments and various resolutions were voted upon. The convention will close today. “Party platform snould state issues fairly and squarely without a lot of weasel-words sucking out the meaning," declared William Allen White, author, to the men and women who attended the annual state banquet last night in the Riley room In connection with the convention. Mr White In his quiet hnmorous way rapped both party systems smartly In telling of the party reforms needed In the country. He expressed himself In his opening words as being a party man, having been In the party game of a fairly good organization for thirty or forty years.” PARTY 6YBTEM NEEDS TINKERING. “However, the party system needs tinkering," he stated. "Parties do not seem to represent the majority. Platforms and candidates are not representative of the majority, there are second rate candidates and third rate platforms. The people didn’t get what they want, they say Why? The party does not function normally because the leaders have not been representative.

and file. “Platforms should state Issues and squarely. They don’t recognize the fact that one crowd should state a fact and the other oppose It. Instead they write platforms as nearly like the other fellow's platform as possible so as to fool the same people. “PLATFORMS ARE LIKE MAN.” “There Is no genuine vital difference in any great Issue, In the party platforms, the same Issues are Indorsed though differently worded. Platforms are like map, fearfully and wonderfully made and as toon forgotten! “We can not go along In the great reconstruction period as effective organs of public opinions if the party systems persist as dead things. “Before debate conies jo In Congress the Issue should come before the people. (Continued on Page Sixteen.) The Shepard-Towner bill, has never been made an' Issue it deserves to be. The platform should b * built on definite lines one act In one party being opposed in the other. We must have intelligent government. Political Issues should be opposed to economic Issues, stated clean square and In ultimate form. And such questions as distribution of fuel, water, ell anc other questions of paramount Importance must be understood fy the people by Intc. Igent discussion. Now only those who belong to small groups get It and those who do not belong to a group £uch as this league for instance, do not get it. “This great crisis facing us now finds us in the midst of a great reaction. War must have its price, disenchantment and disillusion for years afterword. I feel that this great reaction now, a rather mean and petty notion of Isolation will soon leave us and we w-111 find our dream is still there, nothing gone but our sleep. Ever there Is the great resurrection—and It will come." In speaking of the women going Into pnrtlea, he continued : “Go Into your own party, either party, and put the fear of God into the party. But It can only be accomplished by hard work. ThePe Is an awful* lot of dirty linen In this country needing washing, j and you girls might as well get at it.”

Following Mr. White's talk he asked the women to question him and a series of queries were fired at him. In response to the question as to how the women should proceed to get things over when they are not yet recognized an part of the party machinery, he named three points—go to the primaries, have an intelligent plan as to what yon tre going to do, hie a cheerful loser, aud stick with the game. Don't do anything morally wrong, he admonished, “but don’t call a thing morals’’ Just because you are licked.
