The women are in the campaign.
Notwithstanding the decree of the court
that they cannot vote this fail, they will
be important factors in the winning
light to be made by the Democrats.
Judge Powers has recognized that they
can do good and telling work, and has
already set about an organization that
will make them of the greatest SER
vice.
Pursuant to a call issued by Judge
Powers Saturday night, about fifty OF
the leading Democratic women of the
city met at the parlors Of the Knuts-
ford yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of holding a consultation with the
Democratic chairman. Representatives
of every precinct were present. Miss
Kate Field was an interested spectator
and carried away with her very Ia
Vorable idea Of the way in which wo-
men work in Utah.
Judge Powers called the meeting to
order at o'clock, and asked the wo-'
men of the various precincts to take
seats so that they could consult read
lily. Mrs. Margaret A. Game acted as
secretary. Judge Powers explained
that he had called for the meeting in
order to interest the women in the
campaign work. He said there were
many things they could do better than
the men, chief among which is the
labor of organizing and educating the
women in preparation for the succeed
ing campaigns. He said that the com
mittee is fixing up commodious head
quarters in the Continental market and
that a reception would. be given when
they were opened. He wanted the help
Of the women to make this a. success.
He had also thought of a ball to be
given in connection with this reception,
IN the Christensen end of the hall. To
She end that the best of work might
be done he wanted the appointment of
q committee of a hundred representa-
tive women of the city, who should
form the central organization. After
the appointment Of this committee he
wanted it to elect an executive COM
mittee Of ten, who should be at the
head Of the work. Then every woman
on the great committee would be given
further work. She would be asked to
hand in the names of ten Democratic
women in her neighborhood, to form
with her a neighborhood committee,
over which she would preside. This
great working body of 1000 women
would then have charge Of the work in
the city, acting as an advisory body
TO the chairman OF the State committee.
This comprehensive plan met with
the approval of the women present.
They could see how it would be posi-
BILE for them to give aid to the state
chairman in many ways, and each one
pledged herself to enter into the spirit
of the organization. Suggestions for
the committee of one hundred were
then called for and the following
names given to the chairman by the
representatives Of the various pre-
cincts:
