'sI'll take that one." Then, without
signifying how she would take it-mild
or straight-she set her machine buZZing
and | passed on. Mary Mulbach wasno
less amiable. '.Would you like to vote?"

speaking English very little, was at
loss what to reply, when Hilma nudged
her and babe her say Harrison, which
she did, Fannie Dryer announced her
willingness to vote if all the other girls
did. Asked her favorite candidate,
she wanted to know which one

wouldn't vote for him. Tina Marek.
who was standing beside her, would
vote, but not for Cleveland. Questioned
why, she replied Free trade would
spoil the whole thing. All the goods
would be brought over from the old
country. it would put wages down and
we wouldn't have no work. Tillie LIGHT
nif would vote if the rest did. and Miss
Motler would vote il Title did.
Hannah johnson was another who
took me for perambulating polling

to have prohibition one. Miss HOlem-

but THAT if they would come around-Witll
a basket, it is fair to aSsume-they were
welcome to her ballot. She would vote
for Cleveland because some Of the girls
had told her to do so.
The sixty girls spoke almost as one
mall--quite as one unintelligent man
and their testimony was strongly in
support of Mrs. Burbank s'doctrine that
to give the right of suffrage to women
unconditional would only serve to i'll
crease the blind vote of the country.
Passing up Wacouta street, | met a
walking, breathing car.catufe OF the
above her shoe tops. and her bonnet
was askew: she was wrapped i'm shawl,
her eyes were crossed, she wore spec
tacleS, and moved along with supreme
indifference to anything but getting
there, beautiful smile enWreathing
her mouth and showing she had no
teeth in several places where teeth
ought to be.
Matching her own with the seductive
smile of politician, | caught her by
the buttOnhnle and asked her how she
was going to vote next Tuesday. She
said, indeed. she'd like to vote. She'd
like to help put Harrison in the White
house. That Old Cleveland'S kept the
poor people dow, long eEOugh-such
hard tunes as we've been havin' the last
three years! Oh! | know things would

she said, in reply to the question how
she knew. 'Harrson's on the poor
Cleveland. Pm Angie Young; l used
to live near him, you know, down East;
| come from where he got his wife and
| amt any use for him. He's spent a
great deal of money for his own pleas
ure, a-deprivin' the poor of theirs. It's
getting. anyhow, more and more so the
poor don't have chance for their lives.
Rents is high, victuals high--every-
thing high but wages. Yes, I'd vote for
Harrison" she wound up. with a medi
tatiye nod, fixed in the conviction that
any change must be a change for the
better.
Modesty from Ireland, who refused
to give her name, attacked in the Golden
Rule, SAID: "Well. I'll not be gOin' to

me hands full, and I'm not goin' to vote

Miss Nora Powers. in Werner'S OH
Seventh street, said she would not want
to 90 out among the men to vote. but
still if other women did, she would.
"I'd be Democrat, because they favor
the working Glass; Emma Armbuster
and Carrie Mahle would vote the Re-
publican ticket because their folks are
Republicans Mary Gettys likewise
said she would vote for Harrison be-
cause she had been ''taught TO be Re-
publican" Miss E. Jochin would vote
for Cleveland because he's a good
man."
Miss Lowell, in Fantle Bros, would
not vote because she has not time to
study the question. She says that when
her days work is done she wants to
rest, and thinks voting is all right only
for wealthy women who have nothing
to do but enjoy the burdens of other
people Miss Lottie Peterson would
not want to vote because she is con-
WINGED that she does not understand the
matter. Her preference is for Harrison.
She thinks Cleveland hasn't done right
in great many things. and what he
has done right he did because he
had to.
