Women Vote for President.

For the first time in the history of
this country an opportunity for women
to publicly express their choice for
president is offered. The method is
unique and will result in showing on
Nov. 4th just what effect the woman's
vote will have on national affairs.
A manufactures who has business
relations with most of the prominent
newspapers in the United States, pro-
poses the plan as follows:
All women over Is are entitled to
one vote. The votes by states will be
shown in the papers on every Wednes-
day and Saturday until Nov. 4th.
Women are requested to read more
than one side of the question and act
upon their own judgment. Write the
name of candidate on postal card and
write your own name and address
clearly, also city and state. On the
lower left hand corner give the name
of banker or grocer who knows you.
This percaution is to prevent food
ing the mail with fictitious votes.
Names unknown to grocer or banker
will be thrown out. Be very careful
to write clearly and an acknowledge
ment of the receipt of each vote will be
sent to every fair voter. Send the postal
card to Postum Cereal Food Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. 1t is urged that every
earnest woman will not hesitate to ex-
pend a penny to register Der preference
at this most interesting period of ma
tional history.
This company have a national repu-
tation and pledge their integrity and
honor to report the vote exactly as re-
ceiYed, without fear or favor. Asworn
statement of the final vote polled up to
Z a. m. Nov. 4th will be published Nov.
18th and the vote as it progresses will
be shown on every Wednesday and
Saturday between now and then.

vention proceeded to the discussion of

Gratis already in the field. After a lit
tie discussion it was voted down and

THE PYTHIAN BANQUET.
A Splendid Time EnjeVed at the Festal
Board

u.
The large number of members and
friends of the Knights of Pythias
gathered at the beautiful hall of that
organization Friday evening had a very
pleasant time. Tables were set pre-
pared for the banquet in one part of the
room and the remainder contained card
tables provided with cards for the en-
tertainment of the guests present.
The crowd did not appear until
about 8 o'clock, but at that time the
card tables began to fill and it was
not long before each table was occu-
pied. The games were whatever the
players desired and continued until
about Ii o'clock. While the games
were going on the Klein orchestra
played. Those who could not get at
tables or who for other reasons were
not in the games gathered in little
knots about the room engaged in
conversation or found their way into
the billiard room. After the banquet,
which was served at IL, was finish
! ed boys were entertained with song
by W. M. Harrison. He responded to
the encore with a recitation entitled
" The Vagabond.
The POSTMASTER Of the evening, O. NJ.
Petit, presided with grace and digni-
ty. He wasted no time in prelminaries
but after few happy remarks by way
of introduction called upon those pre-
pared to respond in their order accord
ing to the program.
Charles C. Brown responded to the
toast, The Order of Knights of Ply
thjas" in which he brought out the
cardinal principles of the order, spoke
Of the growth of the organization
throughout the state in the past six
years, and remarked on the great power
for good latent in the order of the
Knights of Pythias.
Norman L. Baker was next called
upon, and he responded to the toast,
" Friendship" Friendship is one of
the three great principles illustrated in
the beautiful German story of Damon
and Pythias, from which the order de-
rlves it's name and motive. Mr. Baker
spoke mainly on the significance and
power of true friendship.
Mayor W. M. Farr very eloquently
responded to the toast, Charity" 1t
is matter of regret that the words of
Mr.. Farr, though few, cannot be re-
produced. They constituted a beauti-
full and pathetic word picture of charity
ennobling mankind.
W. W. Strong spoke on the " Uni
formed Rank" His speech was full of
wit and good humor, and served to
very much enIiven the occasion.
The last speech on the program was
by Joseph Schroeder, of Racine, Past
Grand Chancellor Commander. Mr..
Schroeder chose to liken himself to the
finger bowl that is passed about after
the feast, but his words we're full of
wisdom, and furnished ample material
for thought; fitting climax to fine
program.
After the regular program was over
extempor6 speeches were called for
from the following gentlemen, j. FL.
Blair, F. Ri. Hall, w. F. Fisher, W. j.
Craney, G.. A. Tarbell, johnson jack
son, Phil Hartman and Charles Ernst.
Dwight House spoke on the Rath
bone Sisters, and the party broke up
after a jig by Sigel Conley.
