A Step Forward
in Cigarette - Making
W/P. ARE proud to be the firm that
’ v brought about, this important
development in cigarette enjoyment—
for that is exactly what the Chesterfield
blend is.
Thjg cigarette is an outgrowth of
• long, earnest effort on the part of this,
the largest cigarette manufacturing con
cern in the United States.
The mild, yet satisfying Chesterfield
blend is riot the result of happy chance.
It is one of the results of our many yeans
of cigarette experience — of the heavy
volume of our purchases of cigarette to
bacco— of the prestige and advantage
these enormous purchases give us in se
curing the choicest leaf from the tobacco
fields, of the world.
Chesterfields are an achievement.

you have always wished a cigarette
would do—they satisfy !
Smoke them and wo believe you will
find that ordinary cigarettes seem by

believe you will be glad to learn
what they can teach you about
cigarette enjoyment.

You have been reading hero some'
rather unusual, almost daring, state
ments about a cigarette. If Chesterfields
were an untried cigarette — if we had
not been observing their behavior in*
other cities—if we did not KNOW that
they make good with smokers, we could
not afford to make these statements to
yon over our signature.
But these statements, strong as thejp,
are, can mean little or nothing to yon
until you have actually smoked your first
Chesterfield.
You will find that your own dealer
has Chesterfields waiting for you.

It was the above little plank that
inspired Gov. Ferguson of Texas to
mount the platform In the CpUseuci
and reed a minority report withhold
ing the party support from the ladies
who want the vote. That the Demo
cratic party should scorn the political
exigeacies of the situation and defy
the 12 western states in. which women
vote was tha burden of bis argument
Sharing the same opinion with him
were C. L. Bartlett of Georgia.
Stephen B. Fleming of Indians and
"Jim” Nugent of New Jersey, the old-
time enemy of President Wilson. This
trio signed the minority report with
the Texan.
Uned up against Gov. Ferguson,
who acted as spokesman for the mi
nority. were Senator Stone of Mis
souri, Senator Pittman (^Nevada arid
Senator Walsh of Montana.
Senator Walsh did not mince mat
ters in his argument for the adoption
of the suffrage plank. Me stated plain
ly the adoption of tho plank was
necessary as a matter of political ex
pediency, adding that the present
political situation In this country was
' a coaditlon and not a theory.
“The states in which women vote
control 91 votes in the electoral col-
lege.” h«' said, adding significantly,
“every political party has declared for
woman suffrage in some way or other.
It becomes a simple question whether
you will incur the enmity of thepo
women.
"Now, my friends,” he continued,
“as lata as 1807 there were but two
states west of the Missouri river that
returned Democratic senators and now
v.-'e have 15 of them. The question is,
. are you ready to surrender the 15
votes you have in the United States
senate and turn them over io your
political enemies?”
In conclusion. Senator Walsh said
that be revealed no secret when he
said President Wilson knew all about
the suffrage plank.
“The president believes it vital to
bin success that it stay in the plat
form,” he said. “I ask you in all the
fervor of my soul, who is there wiser
or more patriotic than he?”
Following Senator Walsh’s speech,
Gov. Ferguson was allowed five min
utes for rebuttal. The vote was then
taken and his minority report voted
down, after 'which the original suf
frage plank, as approved by the reso
lutions committee was unanimously
adopted.

When that time comes to you- you know what tonic

One of the most Interesting fea
tures ot tbs recent Democratic con
vention at St Louie is the fget that it
took lovely woman to force the only
roll call demanded on the national
platform, as well- as to inspire the
only real excitement that marked the
convention.
"Votes tor Women" was tho issue
that stirred up things. The Mexican
plank, nailed in at the last mtnnte by
the platform builders, did not create
a ripple. "Americanism" and "pre
paredness” received polite ovations,
bat It remained tor the woman suf
frage plank to start a real fracas.
Headed by Gov. Ferguson ot Texas,
the antis endeavored to wrench the
suffrage plank from the platform. But
President Wilson’s feelings on .the
subject, as presented to the conven
tion by Senator Walsh ot Montana,
were not to be Ignored. And so, after
a three-hour battle In which the term
"political expediency" was need with
telling effect, the antis were ranted
by a vote of SS8H to 18Ui.
The vote, however, does not ten the
real story ot tha battle, which eras
one of the most vigorous and pic
turesque ever staged at a nil
Democratic convention. Fifteen wom
en delegates fought from the floor on
the side of the pro-suffngtsto. while
hundreds of their sisters waved yel
low pennanta and cheered them on
from the balconies. A thunderstorm
that almost drowned out the voices
ot the delegates as they answered the
roU call brought both the suffrage
battle and the convention to a most
melodramatic finish.
