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.”

Senora de Veyra Describes
Status of Women in the
Philippines.
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. %

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- |

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.
