I mean no disrespect to. tile colored people, for many of Hiern are good eil i/.ens and tax-payers, bul thoy have not yoi berni educated to the fact that, they can ,voto for any party except the one to whom they owe their free dom. I hope they will gain that knowledge in time thal a Democrat is worth their votes. We women in Montana have voted for several years, and we find we can do a great deal of good for our cho sen party by speaking a word on every mvasion possible. Personally, of course, I am a true-blue Demo crat, and I have not been slow lo work for my party.
