Hemphill used to tell ddvlug the hint years, of his .political enroev. II was at a time when party feeling was still running high. The white |>C(?ple of the stale lutd divided; I ut both still held on to the mime of liotnocrat, ami the only thing they J eouhl agree upon politically was that about the lowest and meanest thing In life was a Republican. At that tluic the average voter In this seotlOn was of the belief that Democrats did not even know llie Re publicans in Washington personally. It was a common belief that a Democrat would not sit down to eat with a Re publican, or ride with him oil a street car. Under the circumstances Mr. Hemphill's story might bo saUl to have educational value. It was like this: "Two representatives, John and IJllf, one a Republican and the other a Dem. oerat, were great friends personally. Ho intimate were they that they were almost inseparable. I "They had arranged to go to the baseimll game one. afternoon at 4 o'clock, and when John, the Democrat, got up to go, Kill, the RoptAidicnn. lin gered behind. After a brief wait John grew impatient and began motioning Hill to come on. "Win heltl back under John's In sis | eiice until St la?t Jehu could stand it . no longer. 'Come on.

The Yorkville Knqulrer thinks that "It Is going to be the vote of the women which will decide the nominations In the coming democratic primary." This may well l>e true, but present Indica tions nro that In such event the de cision will rest with a small minority the women of the State. Only a very small percentage of women' have enrolled thus far for the election. Various explanations are belli# of fered r?wft>cetlnK the Indifference of the women to their obligation to quali fy us voters. A large proportion of them unquestionably resent the fact that they have been invested with the franchise. Curiously enough, .some of the women who were ardent suffra gettes' beforc^he passage of the nine teenth amendment, now display not tin slightest interest in the exercise of the ballot.
