Salem Gazette is the only paper which seems 10 think t
OF enough import to require contradiction. 1t says
"In this part Of the world We do not dDd any
body who had ever before heard OF Buffers
advocacy OF woman suffrage It seems cruel 10 de-
prve the gallant General OF the honor aDd profits Of
giorous msrtyrdon. but no person can lie round who
knows or thinks or neevos that he lost single veto
any such ground"
