There is a man in Ohio named
Jenkins, whose resemblance to
Abraham Lincoln is said 20 ba
wonderful. He is said to have
received in his time enough jail
sentences TO round out an ordinary
life, and been in enough brawls and

men. Yet, on account of his like

gets all the free passes on the rail-

Mrs. Ida Harper, chairman of the press
committee, reported that all friends of the
woman suffrage movement were more

stand taken by The CALL, which had
sounded the keynote of the cam paign.
The other papers, she conceived, would
soon have to follow in The Calls foot-

its columns for articles on the movement.
and several other papers seemed more or

stated that thousands of copies of last

scattered broadcast throughout the State.
There were reported to be forty-fiye active
woman suffrage clubs in various parts of
the State, all in fourishing condition.
