Fprok- M. Ftoesslnir, of I'lttshursh, who
m president of the a.sKoclntlnn at
. tlit ttnv the Kcvstone State was enr
rlfd outildc of Philadelphia, Is iCRarded
ii the authority on how n State should
te oMtsnlzcd for a successful campniRn,
ml her name appears with Insistent fre
quency on the program
. Ut ntaht she presided at one or tno
most Imnortunt sessions lipid thus far.
lit a n conference on campaigns, and
tMju and means were discussed or con-
iuct ng the coming campaign which. Re
cord ng to Mrs. rnrrle Chapman Cntt.
president of the International Suffrage
Association, will be "the most ulunntie
battle for" human liberty ever waged In
n bloodless war."
In speaking of the distribution of litem
tine In Pcnnsjlvnnla, Mrs. Itocsslng de
clared that, despite the fncl that the
voters had been almost burled In It. not
enough had been glVen out. Between 25
nnd 30 million pieces, howeef, she said,
had been distributed In the four Kastcrn
campaign States.
The boom, or perhaps one should more
properly call it a boomlet, which was
launched no one seems to know where,
to make Mrs. Iloesslng nnttonat president,
when the election of officers takes place
I rlday morning, Inslend of collapsing
after her Hat announcement jesterdav
that under no clrcumstnnces would she
permit her name to be used, seems to
have gathered force.
Hvery one concedes thnt there Is no
woman big enough to stand up against
Mrs. Shaw, the present president, or
against Mrs. Cntt. Many suffragists have
expressed the opinion thnt the former will
ollow herself to be persuaded to recon
sider her decision, but they have no hopa
of Mrs. Catt, who stopped the circulation
of a petition favoring her which was
going the rounds estetdnv.
Like the proverbial prophet who Is not I
without honor sae In his own country, i
Mrs. Itocsslng seems to be more populnr
with the delegates of other States than
with those of her own She obvlouslr Is
the piotegc of Mrs. Catt and the pnr
tlcular pet of the New York delegation.
I talked with Xtlss Mary Garrett Ilaj,
one of the most conspicuous members of
the New York contingent nnd considered
the most efficient organizer In the coun
try, n bout this last night and she said
flatly:
"Mrs. Itocsslng Is my choice for presi
dent, nnd I nm sure there arc mntiy
others wl.o feel as I do. She Is one of
the biggest women nt the convention."
However, even such substantial straws
as these do not alwa)s show which way
the wind blows when an election Is on.

This is the Third Day!
A good day to
fathom the
meaning of
"Intensified Value"
in
Suits and Overcoats
at $15
C; It means simply this. We have procured by
dint of determination and influence such Over
coatings and Suit fabrics as were this season
and arc today! choice values in Suits and Over
coats at $20, $22.50 and $25. At $15 their value
is as discernible as a blue-blooded blonde in a
village of Zulus.
C All new goods, made of fabrics especially
bought for this occasion! Not one of them had
ever appeared on our counters before Monday '
of this week!
C THE OVERCOATS are staple, both as re
gards fabrics and form. THE SUITS are made
to play in the duet and not lack in equal distinction.
C There's not a garish, gaudy style among
them, either of Suit ot Overcoat. They are
the product of our supreme effort to make this
December Week of Intensified Values lay it
all over the weeks that have gone before!
C There's the plain English of the proposition.
Its nature is such as to require nothing further
than its statement; and having made that state
ment as our part, the rest is up to you.
