Mrs Woodruff was not present at the meeting
She was detained at home entertaining FRANK :.
Black and his wife. Ways and means OF reaching
the workingmen were discussed, the debate occupy
ing most Of the afternoon. The plan Is that the
women will open schools Of instruction in the vari-
districts, and by means of campaign literature
and simple talks will instruct that portion Of the
masses who adhere to silver views These schools
VIII be open night. One OF the women remarked
that 1t wouldn't pay to waste time IN instructing
the Republican voters for they were all right Mrs
Pierce in her talk supplemented this by saying that
women naturally better instructors than men.
because they could grasp simple truths better and
present them more graphically than men. This as
scrtion struck home. and thereat the women com
plimented themselves by declaring that II was so.
Campaign literature will be printed in different
languages and armed with these tracts the mem
bers Of the association will invade tenement homes
morning and night throughout the remainder
Of the campaign and instruct the wives while their
husbands are at work. Their influence will be so
potent, the members declare, that the husbands
will foreCo the corner saloon and other places Of
amusement at night and attend the schools instead.

rison SITS. at o'cOci at which Miss Helen Narick
Boswell. of the association. will speak
A number of cOngratulatory kilograms were read
by Miss Bostwick a big mass-meeting will he held
