The reason a Republican con-

Oklahoma District recently is
boys at the head of the creek”
the very fellows whom it takes
to roll up these big Democratic
majorities is not permitted to
play their part and be “at home-’
with a bunch of “directors” who
style themselves the “organi-
zation" A Democratic organi-
zation so far as our understand-
ing of it is concerned is that
every Democrat has a voice in
the councils of his party There's
something radically wrong in
the present day organization in ! publishing of a circular ’that litical opinions already formed
work has been done in the way
of producing political convictions
where none existed The new
generation of voters in Oklaho-
ma are voting almost universal-
ly an inherited political faith
No reason has been offered to
them to do otherwise
Much discussion has been en-
gaged in concerning the failure
of women to vote Attention has
been called to the fact that in
the recent election held in the
Fifth District even with the un-
questioned increase in popula-
tion of the past year fewer
votes were cast in 1918 when
women did vote If women had
voted at the same ratio as men
the vote should have been doub-
led Undoubtedly the women did
vote for the reason that nobody
has been sufficiently' interested
to teach theirTwhy they should
vote or how they should vote
The assumption has been that
the wife will vote as her hus-
band votes that the daughter
will adopt the political faith of
her father or of her brother No
provision has yet been made in
the political plans for a recogni-
tion of the individuality of the
women vote
As a result the women do not
care very much about the vote
as yet The women of demo-
cratic families are not sufficient
ly enthusiastic democrats to
cause them to be much interest-
ed in voting for democratic poli-
ticians they care practically j
nothing about voting for demo-
cratic policies because they have
not been taught their meaning
and are not yet interested in
them Precisely the same thing
mutatis mutandis can be said
of the women of republican an-
tecedents The first political puviy that
fully realizes that women are
actual citizens and that they!
are subject to the influences of I
facts of an appeal to their judg- "
ment is going to seize and re-
tain the reins of political power
