"This year is the ter,{ of the women," she said in an interview. "If they don't put up a little action In national politics this year, their chatter will not hold out much longer. "They've got equal suffrage and now let them use it and run for office. Let them stage this clean-up they talked about for years, by getting into the game. "The American women instead of standing aside and drawing their skirts about them piously, must now pitch in and work for the reforms she has been demanding. \ "Woman suffrage is Jike an automobile ride.
