SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION.
The Woman's Auxiliary Holds
a Most Successful
Meeting.
Miss Reickhoff, Mrs. Keith and Miss
Mollie E. Connors the Prin:
cipal Speakers.

ALAMEDA, CAL, July II. = Thirty
ladies filed the parlors OF Mrs. Olive E.
Babcock this afternoon, when the usual
meeting of the Women's Auxiliary SUI
frage Association was called to order by
the hostess.
Miss Reickhoff read a paper which dealt
with the intellectual and moral growth of
woman, from a humanitarian point OF
view. She contended that the term wom-
ans suffrage had been misunderstood by
many of her own sex, and that the con-
sentative women had placed the rest of
her sex in a belligerent attitude. 1t was
the opinion of the speaker that suffrage
was not to be brought about by battle, but
by educating her own sisterhood to the
dignity and truth of their position.
Mrs. Keith of Berkeley read seven ques-
tons that had been received and gathered
on the broad-gauge boat from males OPP
posed to the granting of suffrage to
women. She kept her listeners III rapt at
tention while she answered them.
Mrs. Keith confessed that the religious
attitude of woman frightened her. All
other evils that it is supposed will follow
the acknowledgements of woman were In
her eyes as naught. The religious results,
! however, did cause her to think, for it is
| solely through church work that woman
has been able to exert her influence. The
environment made women narrow-minded
she knew, and the only solution would be
| the results OF deep and broad education.
Miss Mollie E. Connors also delivered q
| bright extemporaneous speech. She urged
women, untii they had won their hight, to
eschew the party lines of the male voters
| and make n 20 combination with either one
! side or the other.
Miss Connors held that the home was
| nd ha4 MI Iaia
| TO study and read than men women could
| study out economical problems and thus
direct the train of thought in their OWL
| households.
Miss Connors concluded her address by
stating that her ambition was to be q po-
| litical leader of her sex, and that in the
near future she would be candidate fol
| their suffrages.
The society intends to hold q picnic on
the 1st of August at Leona Heights. When
the exposition is opened and an Alameda
| day" set, the ladies of this club will have
charge Of the woman suffrage booth, fol
which they are making elaborate prepar-
atoms.
