Mrs. Carey says that the privilege Of voting
mas made the women In Cheyenne, where her
home is, certainly not less womanly nor at
trsctive than they were before but has. on the
contrary, elevated in every sense the home
where woman is the queen. In her own experi-
ence she has found that the general tone of
drawing-room topics has merged from small
details, of which women's lives are so greatly
made up, into the discussion Of the projects
which for the moment are interesting the best
minds OF all countries. National politics are
understood and discussed in the most intelli-
gent way by women, and the introduction of
the woman element into local and state politics
has already wrought magnificent results.
Mrs. Senator Dolph has voted at school cleo
tions In Oregon. Mrs. Senator Pettigrew al
ways attends the conventions Mrs Senator
Allen of Washington say she does not remem-
Der when she did not believe in suffrage. Mro
Blair was always an ardent suffragist Mrs.
Senator Hawley used to attend the meetings
and feel strongly upon the subject. Mrs. Stan
ford has always been interested In every part
of womans advancement and Is a firm believer
In the theory that women should receive the
same pay as men for the same labor. In the
Leland Stanford Junior University girls and
women are admitted upon the same standing
rs boys and men and the same advantages In
every detail are open to them.
Mrs. Greenleaf whose husband is the Repre-
sentative from Rochester. n. Y. is president
OF the New York State Suffrage Society.
Mrs. Burrows believes in the political equality
OF the sexes, but has never identified herself

LINN, privilege which only women in this new
nedged state can enjoy.
DISTRICT SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION.
The District Suffrage Association was never
In SO hourishing a condition as it is now II
hardly think the members Of the District or
ganization appreciate thir advantages" said Q
iady who Is interested in suffrage and who be-
longs to state association. I'm our state,
which Is fair representative of all state asso-
cations. most local societies pay rs cents into
the state treasury. and the state pays 10 cents
INTO the National American treasury. The Dis
trict association only pays its 10 cents into the
National American association and has the re-
malnder Tor Its own work. Then most of the
states employ organizers at moderate salary
The District association has no work of this
kind. The state associations during the session
OF their respective legislatures have commit
tees at the capital to look after their interests
linen IN every state earnest women of moderate
means lay by money, little at a time to use in
the expenses OF their annual visit to the capt.
Ia, SO as to meet women interested like them
selvesin woman's advancement all along the
line. The District women have all these ad-
vantages right at hand. The president of tho
District society is Mrs. Ella NJ. s. Marble and
under her direction it has taken a much more
active part In suffrage matters than 1t ever did
before
The District of Columbia suffrage women will
tender the national women a reception. This
Will be held at the parlors of Wimodaughsis,
where OF late many organizations have been
holding receptions.
