Says Gamblers Backed Wood. New York, June 15.—Charges that “a motley group of stock gamblers, oil and mining promo ters, munitions makers and other like persons seized upon so good a man as General Wood and started out to buy for him the presiden tial nomination” were made in a . statement given out here tonight by Nicholas Murray Butler, an un successful candidate for the Re publican nomination. ‘‘lt was the cause of genuine sorrow to me as to many others of General Wood’s friends,” he said, to see him putin this unhap py position. There was nothing to do in order to save the Repub lican party but to defeat the band of men behind him with their bank accounts and their great financial influence, this meant we had to defeat General Wood himself.” ‘‘The forces that were defeated in their insolent attempt to buy the nomination,” added, “repre sent all that is worst in American business and American political life. It is really too bad that they hit upon General Wood as their choice. They should have found some one. to support for whom the country has less respect and less regard.” Alston News.

Tlie Filipino woman is destined te be in tin* world’s spotlight more than ever before ns a result of the news just I received by cable from Manila to the effect that the Philippine senate ha;, passed the equal suffrage bill giving women full political rights with men. This would indicate that the Filipina may heat her American sisters to the ballot box. The Filipina lias many,admirers who ; predict she will make good if she gets j the vote, just as she lias made good in the very important role she has oc cupied in the family and business life of the Philippines ever since the in troduction of Christianity in the is lands three centuries ago. “America’s advent in the Philippines discovered a wonderfully interesting, responsive tittle being, the Filipino wo man,” writes one American*concerning l 'tf. % i Fv. v<> * MRS. JAIMF. C. DE VEYRA, A Filipina who is doing important work for her people in the United States. the Filipina. “Mothering the only Christian people in the far east, she holds a place of authority, love and re spect in family and social life that is not accorded to women in countries neighboring the islands, or in India, Chinn or Japan.” A Filipina who is doing an impor tant work for her people in the Unit ed States is Mrs. Jaime C de Veyra. wife of the resident commissioner from the Philippines. Not only lias she fre quently addressed the wives of mem bers of Congress in Washington as to conditions in the neU Philippines, but she has visited various cities, speaking before women’s clubs. The senora wears, in’giving her talks, one. of the beautiful gowns of her home lurid, a delicate pineapple fabric, hand-woveu and hand-embroidered, shaped like a gauzy-winged butterfly. ‘ln many ways the path of the wo men of the Philippines is easy,” suys Senora de Veyra. “Laws made by her have combined the best of American and Spanish precedents, and she has come into her own with far less strug gle than either her American or her Spanish sisters. Married women may hold property in severalty. They are guardians of their own children. These are vested rights and cannot be taken away from her. n “Professional opportunities are as | good for women as for men in the land from which I come. The Filipina is by custom the dictator in the home. She is usually the keeper of the family treasure. Practically all of the small j shops in Manila are conducted by wo- j men. Women are already members of j the Philippine liar Association- a ti:irig still impossible in Great Britain. ! I They are also successful as pbysi- j dans.” Life is really a flfty-fift.v proposition ; for women in the Philippines, accord- 1 j ing to the senora. who lias taken such 1 | a prominent part in women’s work | there that she lias sometimes been re- , | ferret! to as “the little mother of them I | all.” She was the assistant matron of the Normal Hall Dormitory for Girls j ] when she married. She speaks Eng lish fluently and puts her litjle talks •over" with real tact. She has four -hildren. An evidence of tier enter -srise was her action last year in mas- j •••ring shorthand so she might be “use- | *••! to her husband at home in the eve- I {ling-- in case tie wdhes to dictate a few letters or a speech.” I MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1920.

Wade Johnson | MT. VERNON | y, 1 ' THE UNIVERSAL CAR During all the years the Ford Model T One Ton Truck has been on the mar ket, we have never had one complaint of rear axle trouble. We have had no complaints of motor trouble. As the motor and the rear axle are the vital funda mentals in a motor truck, we have the right to conclude that the Ford One Ton Truck has not only met the demands of business, but has done so in a satisfactory and economic way. There is no other evidence so convincing as that which comes from long practical experience. Ford One Ton Trucks are serving along all industrial and commercial lines. You will find them everywhere. If these statements were not facts, the demand for the Ford One Ton Truck would not be as large as it is, because people are not buying trucks which do not give service. Coupled with the dependability of the Ford One Ton Truck in all classes of usage, comes the economy in operation and maintenance. On the farm, in factory delivery, for the merchant, manufacturer, and contractor, in these days of modern business methods, this worm-driven One Ton Ford Truck has become an actual necessity. Come in and talk it over. . P.
