Mrs. Helen NJ. Gougcr, who was one OF
the mot emphatic boltors from the pro-
hibitio1ist convention at Pittsburg, when
the dissatisfied free coinage and woman
suffrage advocates paired, male and fe-
male, like a modern Noah's ark, aggreBa-

hundred I'm number, stamping their feet
vigorously so as TO interrupt the regular
proceedings, Is here TO urge upon the pop
ulist committee on resolutions the adop-
tion Of a woman suffrage and an anti-sa-
loon plank.

James G.. Field of Virginia, the candidate
of the same party for Vice President four
years dbOs are stated 10 nave come OuN lu
favor Of the Endorsement of Bryan and
