1,500 ladies. members of the Mary
bryan club in the Funke theatre, and
at night addressed two meetings of

other an overflow meeting in Bohan-

Enthusiastically received.

now as always. that every man, wom-
an and child has the inherent right of
free political belief and had no ilI-will
towards any one who differed from
him. His speech was almost entirely
a plea of equality before the law and
he concluded his speech as follows:
ALLOW me to thank you heartily for
the courtesy extended to my wife and
myself. 1t will be forever one Of the
brightest memories of our lives. and 1
would add that I earnestly hope that
