He concluded by saying that by limiting

afr. Fort was the next speaker He
demonstrated that the poor of the United

those in foreign countries. He said that

that the constitution would stand firm. even

| AS an interesting prelude to the even
ing's program, Miss Hughes, daughter of
Mrs. Hughes, delegate from Arizona, de-
| lighted the audience with a violin solo.
| The appreciation was shown by applause.
| 1t was excellent, and especially for one
| so young.
FROM THE TREASURE STATE.
Mrs. Harriet Saunders of Montana, wife
| OF Col. Wilbur F. Saunders, x-United States
Senator, was the first speaker of the even
ing.
After speaking of the work Being done
| by the women of the Treasure State, Mrs.
| Saunders paid a high tribute to the press
| OF that State, which ste said had dealt
very kindly with the cause of woman
suffrage.
Her Complaint was that there is not
| enough opposition TO the work to give al
| incentive for more strenuous efforts and
vigorous action.
Tie speaker suggested that kind words
direct from the heart would avail the most.
In the absence of the president of the
Missouri organization, J. B. Mervin OF St.
Louis took the platform to say few
nice things pleasing TO the women. He
has voted for forty years and has voted
for a woman every year. so he is 10 novice
in this business OF working for women.
His remarks elicited great applause from
the ladies. He is also a temperance advo-
cate and is anxious to see the women vote.
as he knows they will help that cause.
Mrs. Victoria Conllin Whitney, of st.
Louis. recording secretary of the st. Louis
Equal Suffrage Club, followed Mr. Mervin.
MAN RECOGNIZED ONCE.
For the first time during the entire session
the worth of man was recognized. Mrs.
whitney said they had 4 large number of
men in their club whom She thought to be
of valuable service in the work of advanc-
ing their cause.
The speaker had fairly gotten started
when the bell suggested that her time
was up.
Mrs. Clara b. Colby occupied the time
allotted to hershowing how woman iscIassed
in her disenfranchised position. A picture
| was held up to view showing u woman in
the center surrounded by a convict. an
Indian, a maniac and an idiot. They
represent those who cannot vote in this
glorious union.
Mrs. Colby considered 1t a shame and
a disgrace to have lovely woman ciassed
with such specimens of mankind.
Mrs. Frances f. Williamson. of Nevada,
brought good reports from Nevada and is
satisfied with the gratifying results that
| have attended their efforts.
Mrs. Williamson is an able talker and
none is more enthusiastic than she. She
says she was horn slffragist and would
devote the rest of her life TO the work. As
a pioneer of Nevada she has had her full
share in the good work OF advancing civil
ization.
