Women Enter Political Arena: For a generation or two “The woman in Politics” has been a subject for humorists and wits—and some who are neither humorists nor wits. Suffrage jokes have been wore more threadbare than the famous “mother-in-law” chestnuts. But as the time surely draws nearer when the women of Pennsylvania shall exercise their right of suffrage, the women of the state are organizing so that they may be ready to intelligently exercise their new rights The women of the Republican party—or rather the Republican women—of Susquehanna County, met at Colonial Hall, Montrose, Tuesday afternoon and effected a county organization. It was well attended, and –quite harmonious. It was also most enthusiastic. When nominations were asked for the name Sue M. Strous, of Montrose, the only woman lawyer in the county, was put forward and she was elected by acclamation. The remaining officers were elected in turn without opposition. To make a point, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,” but the feminine hand can rock the nation to its foundations, and arouse it to its noblest purpose if it will.
