Talbot was arrested in Johnstown

stolen plunder in the homes of rela-

“The greatest service that women
can render to the cause of responsible
government is to build up and streng-
then the party of their choice, to do
their share in making sure that it rep-
resents the highest political ideals, that
it supports the most constructive poli-
cies, and nominates the best candi-
dates.”
This was the message brought to the
Republican women from thirty-three
counties in south-central Pennsylvania
who assembled this week at the Penn
Alto Hotel for a conference by Miss
Sarah Schuyler Butler, vice-chairman
of the Republican State Committee of
New York. Miss Butler, daughter of
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia Univegsity, made one of
her rare visits outside the Knicker-
bocker State in reponse to an invita-
tion from Mrs. Barclay H. Warburton,
president of the Pennsylvania Council
off Republican Women.
“Women and the Two Party Sys-
tem” was Miss Butler's subject, and
her talk was full of pertinent advice
to the women of the Keystone State
concerned now with shaping plans
for their activities in the approaching
Presidential campaign
“Perhaps the most significant and
most healthy result of woman's suf-
frage has been to dispel the ideal that
there is a ‘woman’s vote, Miss But-
